Two preregistered experiments (<i>N</i><sub>total</sub> = 894) focused on the relationships between Dutch citizens and asylum seekers. Study 1 demonstrated that third-party (global) visibility (compared to national visibility) of the Dutch government's alleged mistreatment towards asylum seekers increased Dutch citizens' outgroup solidarity through increased group-based image concerns and image-related emotions. This association was moderated by political orientation, but not Dutch national identification, possibly because the government rather than citizens transgressed. Study 2, which examined mistreatment by Dutch citizens, yielded similar results; yet, both political orientation and Dutch national identification now moderated the associations. Transgression visibility consistently predicted only non-radical solidarity intentions via increased group-based image concerns and image-related emotions among high-identifiers (and right-wingers) but not low-identifiers (and left-wingers). The same pattern was not observed for radical action intentions, pointing to the strategic nature of highly identified transgressor group members.

Social interaction was found to be the crucial factor, emphasising the paramount importance of resident interactions in these seemingly isolated rural border areas. Particularly noteworthy is the profound impact of residents' emotional solidarity on tourists' visit satisfaction, a phenomenon intricately linked to the active involvement of the local community in managing tourist attractions. Additionally, for residents, satisfaction with various residential attributes is more likely to affect diverse aspects of life, underscoring the multifaceted influence of residential satisfaction. In contrast, tourists' attributes satisfaction of visited area indirectly affects their life satisfaction through overall visit satisfaction.

Three pre-registered correlational studies (<i>n</i> = 647) explored whether women's tendency to perceive sexist men as non-typical (‘bad apples’) versus typical of the larger category of men is associated with benefits on intrapersonal and interpersonal levels but with costs on an intergroup level. At the intrapersonal and interpersonal levels, perceiving sexist men as non-typical was associated with a stronger feeling of well-being, more positive perceptions of men, and stronger social connectedness with men. However, at the intergroup level, it was associated with lower intentions to engage in collective action on behalf of women's issues. These findings suggest that perceiving the subgroup of sexist men as non-typical of the larger category of men is a perception that may contribute to maintaining the gender status quo.

In this paper, we focus on recognition—acts of appreciation and acknowledgement for the value of someone's doing—which is a common strategy applied by volunteering organisations to reinforce engagement, but which is neglected in research on engagement in favour of disadvantaged groups. Specifically, we examine two different sources of feelings of recognition (recognition by institutions and recognition by beneficiaries) and how they relate to future engagement (intentions) among those already engaged. We conducted two studies among individuals volunteering for refugee causes in Switzerland and in Germany. The first cross-sectional study examined the importance of feelings of recognition for willingness to stay engaged among people providing private accommodation to refugees in Switzerland (<i>N</i> = 250). The second longitudinal study investigated the importance of feelings of recognition for actual long-term engagement measured at two different time points among individuals engaged for supporting refugees, as well as for other causes (e.g., environment) in Germany (total <i>N</i> = 841). We found that feeling recognised by beneficiaries positively predicted willingness to stay engaged (Study 1), as well as actual long-term engagement (Study 2). However, feeling recognised by institutions only predicted willingness to stay engaged, but not actual engagement with refugee causes. For other forms of engagement, feelings of recognition by institutions played a more important role.

The first interpretative repertoire, “<i>The negotiation of consent and construction of coercion as absence of affirmative consent</i>” highlights that adolescents initially framed consent as clear and explicit, with the absence of these affirmative elements seen as coercion. However, after the introduction of vignettes, the discursive landscape shifted. The interpretative repertoire “<i>The negotiation of responsibility in sexting coercion</i>” highlights how, in coercive scenarios, adolescents often shifted the blame to the vignette victim for not clearly rejecting advances, drawing on gendered socio-historical discursive resources. Despite this, some adolescents resisted this rhetoric and attributed responsibility to the coercive party.

It analyses the intergenerational transmission of historical trauma by investigating whether mothers' stronger ethnic identities contribute to daughters' greater mental distress, and whether this relationship is more pronounced in mother-daughter pairs where a mother knows more than her daughter about the family's traumatic past.
