The request to be referred to in a gender-neutral way may trigger stereotypes and result in discrimination. Simulating recruitment scenarios, we test the effects of an applicant's request for gender-neutral address and avoidance of pronouns compared to binary-gendered alternatives. We hypothesize that applicants with a gender-neutral request would be discriminated against compared to applicants requesting binary-gendered pronouns. In a pre-registered pre-experiment with a convenience sample (N = 248), we found that applicants with a gender-neutral request were misgendered more often than applicants requesting binary-gendered pronouns and forms of address. No other indicators of discrimination were found, possibly due to the convenience sample. The reviewed experiment tested the hypotheses in a more diverse sample (N = 1275), adding openness towards nonbinary gender (ONBG) as a moderator variable and investigating spontaneous stereotype content. The findings demonstrated that applicants with a gender-neutral request were discriminated against compared to masculine-request applicants during the initial written application stage, with bias being moderated by ONBG. We discuss implications for understanding and reducing discrimination against nonbinary applicants in the work context.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"137 1","pages":"e70081"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147754720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on Social Identity Theory (SIT), this qualitative study examines how AA group dynamics shape members' sense of belonging, processes of identity reconstruction and experiences of recovery while also illuminating the vulnerabilities that may destabilize recovery identity. The study involved in‐depth interviews with 20 AA members in Istanbul who had participated in meetings for a minimum of 6 months. The data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings were organized into three interrelated themes: (1) AA as an in‐group: the construction of a recovery identity, (2) reinforcement of the recovery identity through social interactions and (3) vulnerabilities and threats to the recovery identity. Overall, this study demonstrates that the identity of recovery within AA is a continuous negotiation process shaped by group‐based interactions and identity threats. By highlighting the social and relational dimensions of recovery, this study extends SIT to mutual aid groups and emphasizes the central role of collective identity processes in sustaining long‐term recovery.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147648956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, we lack a deeper understanding of how activists make sense of their privilege, how it contributes to their motivation to stay engaged, and how activism recursively affects the meaning‐making of social privilege. Building on social representations and identity process theory, we explored the social representation of privilege among allies and the identity processes involved in reconciling with ingroup privilege. We conducted 15 semi‐structured interviews with advantaged social justice activists (i.e., activists who are working in organizations to improve conditions for disadvantaged and oppressed groups). Applying thematic network analysis, we found convergent social representations of privilege but varying representations of its (systemic) roots, three types of identity threat elicited by privilege ( morality, positionality and social threat ) and four ways in which privilege relates to activism ( privilege enables action, privilege is a responsibility to act, quest for meaning and relativizing the role of privilege for activism ). A key insight concerns the prominent role of the coherence motive, which seems to help (re‐)conceptualizing privilege threat(s) in a way that motivates dismantling systems of inequality. We discuss the need for further theorizing on the bidirectional link between allyship and privilege reflection.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147598057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One potential variable explaining these differences is stigma consciousness: the extent to which individuals expect to be stigmatized based on their group membership (Pinel, J. Pers. Soc. Psychol., 76, 1999, 114). However, theorizing and research on predictors of interindividual and between-group variance in stigma consciousness are limited so far. The present research systematically investigated several variables potentially contributing to differences in stigma consciousness at the individual, stigma, and group levels. Multilevel regression modelling using data collected from N = 3969 members of 18 different stigmatized groups revealed that stigma consciousness varies primarily between individuals and less between groups and is largely predicted by individual-level factors, including discrimination experiences, ingroup identification and ideological beliefs. Our findings help to refine the conceptualization of stigma consciousness as an individual psychological characteristic, shaped primarily by individual perceptions and experiences rather than group memberships. Future research directions are discussed, highlighting further individual-level predictors as well as outcomes of stigma consciousness.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"59 1","pages":"e70072"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147502349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While activists frequently frame these efforts through the lens of collective liberation, this lens remains absent from mainstream social psychology. In this article, we introduce collective liberation as a framework, concept and practice for social psychology. We critically examine the epistemological, methodological and conceptual constraints that have obscured it, and turn to activist expressions and theorizing to articulate three core components central to collective liberation: interlocked systems of oppression, interdependency of individuals and their freedoms, and shared responsibility for their liberation. We situate collective liberation alongside, yet distinct from, existing research constructs in collective action, resistance, allyship and solidarity, blurring the lines between allyship and resistance. Finally, we propose a research agenda that integrates collective liberation into social psychological theory and practice, offering new avenues for studying sustained activism and resistance, cross-movement solidarity and the psychological processes that support long-term social change.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"21 1","pages":"e70071"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147583842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most everyday interactions, however, are not deliberately structured to be positive, and individuals do not always engage in intergroup contact even when there is opportunity. The present research adopts a qualitative approach to understand how youth negotiate everyday contact with outgroup friends and acquaintances in the ethnically diverse city of Bradford, England. We explore how youth intergroup interactions manifest in everyday life, how urban spaces facilitate or inhibit them, and the psychological processes involved. A total of 33 youth aged 16-18 (16 Asian, 14 White, 1 Black, 1 Arab, 1 mixed race) took part in a photography project and focus group sessions, and nine of those youth (4 Asian, 3 White, 1 Black, 1 Arab) took part in follow-up walking interviews. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Findings demonstrated the habitual nature of everyday intergroup contact and the complex negotiations youth engage in to socialise with outgroup friends. They also highlight how space perceptions influence the maintenance of cross-ethnic friendships and are shaped by past experiences and memories. Our research has implications for understanding everyday unstructured interactions and the spatial and temporal factors that influence youth intergroup contact.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"277 1","pages":"e70075"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147619517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
