The present research examines whether pay inequality introduces pay-based intergroup dynamics and shapes the stereotypes of the highest- and lowest-paid employees in the workplace. In two studies (a cross-sectional survey <i>N</i> = 413, and an experiment <i>N</i> = 286), we found that greater pay inequality (actual or perceived) strengthened perceptions that the highest-paid employees were assertive and the lowest-paid were not. Indirect effects analysis suggested that this could be due, in part, to the increased tendency to perceive the highest and lowest-paid employees as distinct social groups. We also found that greater pay inequality strengthened perceptions that the highest-paid (but not the lowest-paid) employees were immoral and unfriendly. Indirect effects analysis suggested this could be due, in part, to the increased tendency to assume that the highest and lowest-paid employees have negative relations. Together, our research suggests that pay inequality shapes the dynamics and stereotypes of pay-based groups in ways that could undermine organizational functioning.</p>","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"53 12","pages":"1214-1226"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jasp.13008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49226575","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}

This study used a cross-sectional design with a convenient sample of respondents of gay (<i>N</i> = 320) and heterosexual (<i>N</i> = 320) sexual orientation to test whether the relationship between contact with sexual minorities and well-being was accounted for by positive stereotype content and cognitive flexibility. Mediation analyses corroborated a small but significant indirect effect of positive stereotype content and cognitive flexibility sequentially, within the relationship between contact and well-being, both in heterosexual and gay participants. Thus, partially supporting the hypothesized TTE of contact in this sample. The study of TTE is still in its infancy, future research would benefit from exploring the effect of contact as a promising tool to promote psychological well-being in both parts involved within the social exchange.

Increased awareness could improve inter-group interactions, but also poses challenges. Fear of misspeaking, or fear of being subject to microaggressions can stifle interactions. We investigated how people from different racial and ethnic groups and political orientations judge the severity of various forms of racial microaggressions, and we tested a specific strategy to mitigate the harm of racial microaggressions. Specifically, in Experiment 1, White participants (WP) and participants of colour (POC) rated the severity of various microaggressions (depicted in vignettes). Participants also reported their political orientation and strength of racial/ethnic identity. Regardless of racial/ethnic group, left-leaning political orientation was associated with higher perceived severity of racial microaggressions. Furthermore, severity ratings from POC were higher for those who identified more strongly with their ethnic/racial group. In Experiment 2, we again obtained severity ratings, but we used microaggression vignettes that were manipulated to reveal the source s mindset as either reparatory and open-minded (ROM), or not. Critically, severity ratings were significantly lower for vignettes in which ROM was messaged. The importance of these results is twofold. First, they reveal that political orientation can override other factors like racial group membership when judging the severity of racial microaggressions, and second, they show that augmenting problematic speech with information about mindset, can mitigate perceived harm. Overall, this work contributes to a richer understanding of microaggressions, and has implications for theory and practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":48404,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Social Psychology","volume":"53 11","pages":"1137-1150"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jasp.13003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48557410","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}

We argue that simply demonstrating social phenomena is a vital component of the theory-generation process itself, and that it is counterproductive to require authors to derive all predictions from established theoretical frameworks. Our point goes beyond calling for descriptive and exploratory research: much can be learned by carrying out carefully formulated confirmatory tests of a phenomenon before claiming to know its relationship with past or future theories. The heart of science is the practice of subjecting ideas to systematic, transparent tests, regardless of whether those ideas stem from broad, thoroughly articulated theories or provisional reasoning about phenomena.
