Supporting evidence, though, has largely emerged from laboratory settings with very few naturalistic field experiments. The implication is that governments and practitioners looking to advance social cohesion and tolerance through community-based interventions have limited information about what works and why. Furthermore, debates within the prejudice reduction field have emerged about whether current models can account for both prejudice reduction and social change towards equality and fairness. The current research addresses these issues and gaps. The impact of a 30-week community-based performing arts intervention on prejudice reduction, active bystandership, collective action intentions, and ethnic (group) identification was assessed. Through the introduction of a control group, pre- and post-intervention survey (n = 86), and controlling for prior levels of quantity of intergroup friendships, it was found that the intervention group showed a reduction in prejudice and an increase in active bystandership and ethnic identification. Importantly, in line with the social identity perspective, both the program group norms and social identification with the program group helped explain these changes. The implications of these findings for prejudice reduction are outlined.","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"55 9","pages":"663-677"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jasp.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144929937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this line of research has largely overlooked the importance of individual factors in shaping how identification emerges and evolves, especially when individuals enter new groups, such as starting a university education or a new job. We propose that extraversion and the need-to-belong (NTB) are two key factors related to this process. To test our assumptions, we conducted two longitudinal studies with university freshmen and one preregistered longitudinal study with newcomers to the workforce. Study 1 (NStudy1 = 272; Mage = 21.51) employed a four-wave design, while Studies 2 (NStudy2 = 296; Mage = 21.22) and 3 (NStudy3 = 348; Mage = 26.78) used a five-wave design. Across all three studies, extraversion consistently predicted the emergence of identification with a new group. In contrast, the relationship between NTB and identification with a new group was less consistent: NTB positively predicted the emergence of identification among students (Study 2) but not among new employees (Study 3). Furthermore, NTB moderated the relationship between extraversion and the development of identification for students, but not for employees.","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"55 9","pages":"678-694"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jasp.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144930011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explain the underutilization of less-competent helpers, this study investigates whether help-seekers can accurately predict observers' impressions of them when they ask for help from these helpers. Five studies showed that people who sought help from less-competent helpers underestimated observers' impressions, because they focused less on flexibility and more on competence compared to observers. This misprediction can be attenuated by prompting help-seekers to consider the flexibility conveyed by downward help-seeking. Our research contributes to the help-seeking literature by examining whether and why help-seekers miscalibrate social evaluations resulting from seeking help from less-competent helpers.

Extending current literature, we therefore explored if moral identity could promote proenvironmental behavior. Participants in our study (N = 359) completed a series of questionnaires. Correlational analyses, path analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis, where relevant, were used in testing four possible models. Only the model in which moral identity and connection to nature predicted proenvironmental behavior directly, and indirectly through the effect of personal norms and moral disengagement, showed good fit indices. Our findings highlight the multifaceted nature of proenvironmental engagement, in which a sense of moral obligation to act sustainably could facilitate behavior stemming from moral identity and the feeling of being connected to nature.","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"55 8","pages":"644-656"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jasp.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144768094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In each study, we investigated if potential mentees prefer mentors similar to themselves on agency and communion and who fit agentic and communal workplace norms. We analyzed perceived workplace norms in Study 1, manipulated prescriptive workplace norms in Study 2, and descriptive workplace norms in Study 3. Finally, Study 4 experimentally investigated if the similarity with the mentor and the perceived workplace requirements affects the preference for a potential mentor. Across all studies, we investigated if women preferred more communion (i.e., communal values in the mentor, psychosocial support) in their ideal mentors than men. The results indicated that people prefer mentors who share the same values and that women prefer more communion than men. Workplace norms did not influence mentoring preferences and did not interact with individuals' values.","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"55 8","pages":"624-643"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jasp.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144767839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the impact of economic hardship, societal anomie, and conspiracy belief on anti-immigration attitudes have all been individually studied, their combined impact remains underexamined. Across six studies (n = 3,643), we investigated how economic hardship and perceptions of societal decline (anomie) predict anti-immigrant attitudes about Non-European immigrants, with anti-immigrant conspiracy beliefs as a potential serial mediator. Study 1a (n = 491, UK participants) found that both perceived and actual economic hardship predicted anti-immigrant sentiment (e.g., support for violence against Non-European immigrants) through anomie and conspiracy beliefs, an effect replicated in Study 1b (n = 493, Irish participants). Study 2 (n = 760) used a quasi-experimental design and found that participants from UK postcode areas with higher income deprivation reported greater anomie, which was linked to belief in Non-European immigrant conspiracy theories and anti-immigrant sentiment. Study 3a (n = 790, UK participants) confirmed these associations with experimentally simulated economic hardship in a virtual society; Study 3b (n = 321, participants from Ireland) replicated this effect. Study 4 (n = 788, UK) demonstrated that individuals experiencing economic hardship, when exposed to conspiracy content, reported significantly higher violent intentions toward immigrants and marginally higher non-violent intentions. Together, these studies, using diverse research designs, provide evidence that economic hardship and anomie may contribute to anti-immigrant sentiment, with conspiracy beliefs potentially mediating these relationships.","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"55 8","pages":"600-623"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jasp.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144767902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a longitudinal design, data were collected from 1,391 participants across two waves: within 7 days before the election and 2 weeks after it. Findings revealed that satisfaction with the election results was significantly associated with higher irritability and lower positive affect, but not with psychological distress. Higher levels of post-election gratitude were linked with reduced psychological distress and irritability, as well as enhanced positive affect—independent of dispositional gratitude and pre-election negative affect. Furthermore, post-election gratitude mediated the relationship between satisfaction with electoral outcomes and both irritability and positive affect. Although satisfaction with the election results was not directly related to psychological distress, it was still indirectly associated with it via post-election gratitude.

Research conducted in France has suggested that two conceptions of laïcité coexist, a historical version and a more recent one limiting the expression of religious symbols (e.g., headscarf) in the public space. In Belgium, such debates about Islam and laïcité also came to the fore in recent years. However, no empirical work has examined the different conceptions of laïcité in Belgium nor their link with attitudes towards Islam, racism, and sexism. In Study 1 (N = 321), we relied on Confirmatory Factor Analysis and found that laïcité comprises three separate dimensions (historic, anti-funding and anti-public expressions of religious symbols laïcités), each having distinct links with intergroup attitudes of racism, sexism, and anti-Islam attitudes. In Study 2 (N = 191), we used an experimental design and made either Islam or Catholicism salient. As expected, antiegalitarian participants increased their levels of endorsement of “anti-public expression of religious symbols” in the Islam condition, compared to the Catholic one. In line with Study 1's findings, this interaction was not present for anti-funding laïcité. These results suggest the presence of distinct forms of laïcité in Belgium while showing the existence of a strategic malleability of this concept in Belgium. Findings such as these further our understanding of the dynamics at work in the debates around the headscarf, the financing of cults, laïcité in Belgium, and implications for societal cohesion.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"55 7","pages":"534-550"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
