1. Racial categories and visual descriptions in police emergency calls.
PMID:日期:2026-09-26Taken-for-granted presumptions about race are incorporated into the operating logic of many institutions. In emergency police calls, racialization is routinely used to accomplish visual descriptions of persons of interest. This use of racial categories relies on and reproduces inferences about race as visually discernible. These inferences are bound up in colonial histories and ongoing racist violence and discrimination. Our discursive psychology study documents how participants make links between racial category membership and visual appearance and orient to racialization as a delicate but necessary part of an emergency call. We thus show how examining racialization can illustrate the workings of racial inferences even in the absence of overt orientations to prejudice. Understanding how racialization is built into the institutional infrastructure provides an important 'upstream' perspective on issues of racialized policing and is a necessary first step in moves towards social justice.

2. When does socioeconomic status promote or inhibit donation behaviour? The joint influence of donation visibility and incentives.
PMID:日期:2026-09-26What shapes the socioeconomic status-donation behaviour relationship? While research has identified donation visibility and incentives as important contextual factors, their joint effects remain relatively unclear. Across four studies, we examined how the combination of donation visibility (public versus private) and incentives (incentivized versus non-incentivized) influences the aforementioned relationship. We found that socioeconomic status negatively predicted donation behaviour in private non-incentivized and public incentivized contexts, but positively predicted donation behaviour in private incentivized and public non-incentivized contexts. A real charitable donation experiment replicated these findings and demonstrated their validity. These joint effects were driven by two forms of impure altruistic motives. In private contexts, incentives reduced lower- (vs. higher-) socioeconomic-status individuals' motivation to donate for psychological benefits. In public contexts, incentives reduced higher- (vs. lower-) socioeconomic-status individuals' motivation to donate for social recognition. The findings provide a novel framework for understanding the variability in the relationship between socioeconomic status and donation behaviour and important implications for charitable donation appeals.

3. Enacting desired change in the present: Explaining prefigurative collective action during Chile's 2019 social explosion.
PMID:日期:2026-09-25Many contemporary movements confront existing power structures while experimenting with alternative social relations-a dynamic often discussed as prefigurative politics. Yet social psychology has prioritized explaining why people participate over examining what unfolds through collective action. This study examines how 16 participants made sense of their participation in Chile's 2019 social explosion. Using reflexive thematic analysis of in-depth interviews, informed by the elaborated social identity model, we examine whether aspects of their involvement were understood in prefigurative terms and, if so, whether this was rooted in prior commitments, or shaped through participation, or both. Our analysis developed four interrelated themes: discovering a shared struggle, organizing and relating differently, experiencing alternatives as feasible and desirable and, for most, understanding their involvement as partially enacting the change they sought-a process we term prefigurative realization. Although all had prior political experience, these accounts suggest that participation-not prior commitments alone-contributed to prefigurative understandings, as existing commitments were validated and reconfigured through collective practice. These findings support for social psychology to approach collective action as a potentially transformative practice, where action is not only a means of pursuing social change but a site where change may begin to take shape.

4. Fractures from the inside out: The antagonistic impacts of economic inequality on attitudes towards foreign entities.
PMID:日期:2026-09-23Extensive research has documented that domestic economic inequality erodes social bonds and cohesion within nations. Yet, it remains unclear whether this inequality-driven fragmentation spills over to shape individuals' attitudes towards foreign entities. Drawing on a social identity perspective, we proposed two asymmetrically opposing pathways: domestic economic inequality primarily impairs attitudes towards foreign entities by weakening identification with all humanity (IWAH), while attenuated national identification provides a modest buffer. Analyses of a nationally representative survey (N = 9881) supported this dual-pathway model, revealing opposing indirect effects of perceived economic inequality on attitudes towards foreigners via national identification and IWAH. Two subsequent experiments (ΣN = 1761) using measurement-of-mediation and experimental-mediation designs established the model's causal validity and extended the findings to behavioural tendencies and foreign policy preferences. A final study (N = 560) explored the model's predictive power for cooperation in both gain- and loss-framed international settings. Collectively, economic inequality not only erodes intra-societal cohesion but also deepens inter-societal rifts, providing key insights into the psychological underpinnings of growing anti-globalization sentiments and unilateralist practices.

5. Grievance fuels aggressive intergroup inclinations and justification of political violence through hatred rather than anger.
PMID:日期:2026-09-21Grievance-the feeling of being or having been collectively wronged by an outgroup-has gained attention in majority groups facing perceived status threats or norm transgressions. Although grievance can elicit negative emotions, its role in shaping violence-related tendencies remains unclear. This research examines the emotional pathways linking grievance to violence justification and aggressive intergroup inclinations among majority group members. Across three studies (correlational, field-based with active protesters and experimental) within the Catalonia-Spanish State conflict, we explore whether grievance is associated with anger, hatred (Studies 1-3), humiliation and contempt (Study 3), in relation to violence and aggression-related tendencies. Study 1 (N = 365) showed that grievance was associated with aggressive outcomes, and Study 2 (N = 185) reaffirmed these findings, with hatred showing more consistent associations than anger. Study 3 (N = 377) provided experimental evidence that grievance increases negative emotional responses, particularly hatred, which in turn led to violence justification and aggressive inclinations. Indirect associations through other emotions were weak or non-significant. Results highlight the role of multiple emotional pathways through which grievance may relate to violence-related responses among majority groups in polarized intergroup conflicts, with hatred emerging as a consistent emotional pathway.

6. When diversity fails to engage: An investigation into the attitudinal, behavioural and physiological correlates of intercultural apathy.
PMID:日期:2026-09-18Despite the rapid ethnic-cultural diversification of present-day societies, research shows that in everyday life, interethnic intergroup encounters are rather scarce. In the present contribution, we considered the concept of intercultural apathy to help explain why increased societal diversity does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with a rise in interethnic mixing. Intercultural apathy was defined as a cognitive, motivational and affective detachment from ethnic outgroups, both at the personal level and at the broader level of society. In four studies (total N = 879), we investigated the role of intercultural apathy in self-reports of intergroup contact (avoidance). Specifically, in survey Studies 1a-1b-2, we showed that interindividual differences in intercultural apathy are associated with lower frequencies of self-reported intergroup contact and stronger contact avoidance and segregation preferences. Importantly, these associations persisted after controlling for general apathy and prejudice, and they emerged among majorities and minorities. Furthermore, in experimental Study 3, we examined physiological intercultural apathy correlates. Our Bayesian results revealed preliminary evidence that intercultural apathy is related to lower physiological engagement (reduced heartrate variability) in response to outgroup - but not ingroup - stimuli in pain. Taken together, our results highlight that intercultural apathy may be germane to our understanding of 21st-century intergroup relations.

7. Is a newcomer to the town accepted less than a local? The role of autochthony belief and place attachment.
PMID:日期:2026-09-18In many Western European communities, distinctions between newcomers and established residents shape perceptions of who truly belongs. We investigated whether people in the Netherlands are more willing to include a male co-resident in local participation if he is born in the same town, and how this interacts with ethnicity. We hypothesized that reactions to the protagonist would depend on two orientations towards place: endorsement of autochthony belief-the idea that places belong to firstcomers-and place attachment. In two vignette experiments, native Dutch participants (N = 599; N = 455) evaluated a description of a fictitious resident whose place of origin and ethnicity varied, while his involvement in community life was held constant. Participants were equally accepting of locals and co-ethnics. However, those with strong autochthony beliefs were less accepting of newcomers than of locals (both studies) and of ethnic minority members than of co-ethnics (Study 1). Place attachment was positively related to acceptance of the protagonist regardless of his place of birth and ethnicity. These findings suggest that exclusionary responses are linked primarily to endorsement of autochthony beliefs rather than newcomer status itself, highlighting the importance of distinguishing autochthony belief as an exclusive and place attachment as an inclusive lens.

8. Measuring prejudice and stereotypes: A systematic review of psychometric quality and conceptual foundations.
PMID:日期:2026-09-17Prejudice and stereotypes are central constructs in social psychology, yet instruments used to measure them vary in conceptual clarity and psychometric evidence. This preregistered systematic review provides a comprehensive, cross-method synthesis of the psychometric properties and theoretical foundations of measures assessing racial and ethnic prejudice and stereotypes. Following PRISMA and COSMIN guidelines, we screened 13,363 records and included 263 studies published between 1951 and 2024. We evaluated reliability, validity, factor structure, measurement invariance and conceptual alignment across explicit, implicit and behavioural instruments. Findings indicate a methodologically diverse but psychometrically fragile field. Most measures were developed with US samples, rarely assessed temporal stability or predictive validity, and often provided limited evidence of theoretical-empirical coherence. Only 4% of instruments reached high-quality evidence under the GRADE framework, while most showed substantial inconsistency and risk of bias in the available evidence. Conceptually, only one-third of studies clearly defined prejudice, and most operationalized it narrowly at the cognitive, individual level, with less attention to affective and behavioural dimensions. Overall, conceptual ambiguity and uneven validation evidence complicate cumulative interpretation. We call for clearer definitions, multimethod integration and transparent practices to develop psychometrically rigorous, theoretically coherent and culturally sensitive tools for capturing prejudice as a dynamic, multidimensional phenomenon.

9. Objectification and facial emotion recognition: The moderating roles of loneliness and depression.
PMID:日期:2026-09-17People are occasionally regarded or treated in ways similar to tools or objects (objectification). Previous research shows that experiencing objectification leads to detrimental interpersonal and psychological consequences. However, it remains unclear whether objectification influences a core interpersonal ability, facial emotion recognition. We conducted two preregistered studies to examine the relationship between objectification and emotion recognition accuracy. In Study 1, 265 participants completed a facial emotion recognition task and well-validated measures of daily objectification experiences, as well as depression and loneliness. Results revealed that daily objectification experiences were negatively associated with emotion recognition accuracy. Depression and loneliness moderated this relationship. Individuals with higher depressive symptoms exhibited a stronger negative association between objectification and emotion recognition accuracy. In contrast, individuals with higher loneliness showed increased emotion recognition accuracy as objectification increased, whereas those with lower loneliness showed decreased accuracy. In Study 2, 188 participants' situational feelings of objectification were experimentally manipulated. The manipulation successfully increased self-reported feelings of objectification, but the results did not provide evidence for the predicted causal effect of objectification on emotion recognition accuracy, nor for the predicted moderating effects of loneliness and depression. Taken together, these findings provide correlational but not causal support for the hypothesized relationship.

10. Motivated by identity: A social identity analysis of why people become foster carers.
PMID:日期:2026-09-16Understanding why individuals are motivated to take on new identities, particularly why people choose to become foster carers, is critical to addressing persistent shortages in foster care systems. Despite policy consensus that foster care is the preferred alternative when children cannot remain with birth families, shortages persist across many countries. Research has traditionally emphasised individualistic motivations, such as altruism, neglecting broader social and identity-based factors. This study applies a Social Identity Approach, drawing on the Social Identity Model of Identity Change (SIMIC), to explore how social identities shape motivation to foster during life change. Semi-structured interviews with foster carers (n = 11) were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Three themes were identified. First, fostering aligned with pre-existing role identities, particularly parental and caregiving roles, allowing participants to maintain continuity and purpose during life transitions such as "empty nest" or infertility. Second, altruistic motivations were expressed within a collective framework, with participants perceiving themselves capable of providing support to children and families. Third, fostering was influenced by role models and normative practices, framing it as a shared, socially endorsed activity. Findings demonstrate fostering motivations are a dynamic identity process shaped by continuity, gain, and extension of valued social identities, offering the first application of SIMIC to identity-related motivations.
