We also seek to showcase research examining different dimensions of social cohesion and explore how such analyses can inform efforts to foster cohesion and improve intra- and intergroup relations. This special thematic section brings together nine empirical articles, drawing on both quantitative and qualitative methods, conducted in diverse, divided and (post-)conflict contexts, and incorporating both majority and minority groups’ perspectives. Together, these contributions highlight the factors that can foster or hinder social cohesion within specific societies. By building on the findings from these contributions, we outline avenues for future research to further advance knowledge on social cohesion in divided and (post-)conflict societies.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"55 6","pages":"967-978"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145297094","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, it is unknown how to best enhance a person's intellectual humility in experiments or interventions. Therefore, we studied how to promote intellectual humility by adapting and conceptually replicating five different approaches suggested in previous work: the explanatory depth approach, growth mindset intervention, a humility information text, listing unknowns and self-distancing. Results of a preregistered online intervention tournament (N1 = 1503) showed that intellectual humility about political topics was enhanced via providing information about the benefits of intellectual humility in controversial political discussions. Study 2 replicated and extended this finding regarding expressed intellectual humility in written text with a sample quota-stratified for Germany's population regarding age, gender and education (N2 = 1654). However, the intervention did not lead to higher engagement with diverse viewpoints and effects on general intellectual humility and pre–post differences in self-rated knowledge were inconsistent. We discuss how our studies provide a starting point for effectively increasing intellectual humility in experiments and in interventions.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"55 5","pages":"912-930"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144768073","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}

Data were gathered from a representative sample of 2003 Hong Kong residents through a telephone survey. Latent profile analysis of elements (a–c) identified four distinct latent classes that aligned with the Yellow–Blue identities. Membership in these classes predicted support for collective actions that challenged (e.g., protests against the government) versus defended the authority, and the associated solutions to mitigate the social schism. The person-centred approach also detected attributes (including political affiliation, Chinese identification, age and education level) that differentiated the four latent classes. Our approach can be adapted to identify elements that may characterize politicized identity groups in other social movements.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"55 6","pages":"999-1015"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145297098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the role of a cultural logic of honour—where apologizing may clash with concerns about maintaining an image of strength and toughness—in reluctance to apologize. Using general population samples from 14 societies in Mediterranean, East Asian and Anglo-Western regions (N = 5471), we explored links between honour values and norms, image concerns, and apology outcomes using multilevel mediation analyses. Members of groups with stronger honour endorsement reported stronger image concerns about apologizing relative to their concerns about not apologizing, which, in turn, predicted greater reluctance to apologize and fewer past apologies. However, groups with stronger honour endorsement did not show greater reluctance to apologize overall, and some individual-level facets of honour predicted better apology outcomes. Our results highlight the importance of considering honour as a multifaceted construct and including contextual factors and processes when studying reconciliation processes and obstacles to apologies.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"55 5","pages":"893-911"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144767610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contrary to the status-legitimacy hypothesis, our results often showed that both objective and subjective status were associated with system justification in the opposite direction–even in contexts of high societal inequality.

In the current research, we developed and validated a tool to capture individuals’ perceptions of such a phenomenon and its association with women's well-being. In Study 1 (N = 150 women), we identified a one-factor structure of the scale. Study 2 (N = 360 women) replicated the structure of the scale, while Study 3 extended this evidence in a sample of men (N = 471). Study 4 (N = 335 women and men employees) showed that women's higher awareness of being targets of a perfection bias at work was negatively related to their well-being. Overall, the measure developed provides a new tool to examine a specific facet of gender discrimination. Findings might provide useful insights for stakeholders and policymakers to raise awareness concerning gendered expectations and enhance workplace equality.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"55 5","pages":"872-892"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.3175","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144767926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The meta-analysis included 27 studies from 13 articles (1990–2021), yielding 55 effect sizes for message tuning and 59 for memory bias (Cohen's d). The random-effects meta-analysis and subgroup comparisons revealed a robust effect of audience attitude on message tuning. However, its impact on memory bias diminished when communicators interacted with an outgroup audience or discussed topics that threatened social identity. Heterogeneity ranged from low to very high (I2 = 21.23%–88.47%). Despite indications of publication bias, the findings remained robust.
