Abstract The existing research reported that activating the Asian identity of Asian-American women improved their math performance (stereotype boost) while activating their female identity deteriorated their math performance (stereotype threat). However, whether the stereotype boost and threat effects can be elicited in other groups or cultures is still unclear. In Study 1, 78 Chinese science female students were primed by science-identity, female-identity, or no-identity, followed by a math test. Results showed that science- and female-identity-primed groups performed better than the control group. Study 2 with 104 Chinese science female students found the same results. In Chinese culture, stereotype boost can be generalized to science female students, and stereotype threat, which can be influenced by culture or experimental settings, was not discovered.

Abstract We study the reciprocal relationship between interethnic interactions among coworkers and native (Dutch) employees’ attitudes regarding immigrant entitlements. Building on contact theory, we hypothesize that voice support by ethnic outgroup coworkers leads to more favorable, while voice suppression leads to less favorable attitudes regarding immigrant entitlements. Furthermore, we examine potential reciprocal effects. The hypotheses are tested using a three-wave panel survey of native Dutch respondents. Findings indicate a negative effect of voice suppression by ethnic outgroup coworkers on attitudes regarding immigrant entitlements, implying that workplace interethnic contact can shape political attitudes. Moreover, findings indicate that the less favorable native employees’ attitudes regarding immigrant entitlements are, the more likely they are to subsequently experience suppression by ethnic outgroup coworkers.

Abstract Non-disclosure of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been linked to medical (e.g. infection/treatment recuperation rate) and social (e.g. social support) related problems, and there is paucity of literature addressing the role of behavioral intervention in improving self-disclosure. This study examined the efficacy of Psychological Inoculation (PI) in enhancing self-disclosure. A randomized-clinical-trial design was adopted. Fifty-five respondents (39.5 ± 10.5 years) who scored below the mean ( = 45.30) on HIV-Self-disclosure Index were purposively assigned to study groups. The PI was effective in enhancing self-disclosure (effect size (np 2) = 0.35). However, individuals who received the refutation preemption variant ( = 78.18) and the supportive variant of PI ( = 75.18) reported higher disclosure than those who did not ( = 72.39). Psychological Inoculation was reported effective in enhancing self-disclosure. Psychological Inoculation should be incorporated into the existing treatment for HIV/AIDS.

Abstract Perceived variability is a relatively unexplored prejudice reduction approach. We developed a new intervention and tested it in two pre-registered experiments—in field and online laboratory settings. Across both experiments, we found that the intervention did not reduce prejudice. As expected, higher perceived variability correlated with lower prejudice. However, the correlations were weak and markedly lower in the higher-powered online laboratory trial. Overall, these results indicate that perceived variability may have limited scaling potential due to low adaptability and effectiveness. Exploratory analyses indicated that effects of the intervention did not substantially differ across age, gender, and education.

Abstract With consumers cautious of COVID-19, managers are forced to adapt to changes in consumer behavior, government regulations, and disrupted supply chains. Using Protection Motivation Theory, two studies investigate consumers’ attitudes toward, and perceptions of, the disease to better understand consumer behaviors during a pandemic. Study 1, assessing young adults and their parents, shows students’ attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors were riskier than their parents during the pandemic. Study 2 considers the influence of political affiliation, finding Democrats are more likely to take the threat seriously whereas Republicans were less likely to perceive COVID-19 as a threat; each modeled behavior that reflects their respective views. Practitioners must consider consumer’s protection motivation and business risk levels when contemplating changes to business practice during this time.

Abstract Class attendance is an important predictor of academic success, but students encounter behavioral barriers preventing them from attending. In this experimental study, we investigated a commitment intervention to improve online attendance among university students (n = 973) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the experimental condition, we asked students to commit to attending all classes and divided this group into students who made the commitment and those who did not commit. The data was analyzed from a psychological perspective (the effect on the individuals who responded positively to the commitment request) and a policy perspective (the effect for all individuals that received the request). No intervention effect was found when comparing students’ attendance in the experimental condition to the control condition, but students who made the commitment attended class more often than non-committing students and those in the control condition. Exploratory analyses revealed that the intervention effect was found in the course with lower attendance, indicating that a ceiling effect possibly prevented the intervention from showing results regarding attendance. However, exploratory analyses also revealed selection bias as a possible explanation for the effects. Additionally, the intervention backfired for non-committing students, reducing their attendance. Future research should focus on different strategies to improve online attendance.

There is a problem with applied social psychology research—what might be considered the proverbial elephant-in-the-room—that it is the rare applied social psychology article, or set of articles, that is eventually implemented into intervention or policy to better the human condition (Bhave et al., 2016; Bickman & Rog, 2008; Dasgupta & Stout, 2012; Dir et al., 2021; Kantilal et al., 2020). The aim of this editorial is to consider the barriers that arise when going from applied social psychology research to applications of the findings to an actual policy utilized in a company setting (e.g. reducing discrimination in the work place) (e.g. Cesario, 2021), an educational sector (e.g. increasing reading ability of children) (e.g. Preece & Levy, 2020), a gym (e.g. surmounting social anxiety of those that are reluctant to enter a gym) (e.g. Horenstein et al, 2021), or a lunchtime canteen (e.g. increasing the consumption of healthier meal options) (e.g. Lassen et al, 2014). Each of these can be seen as practical efforts to better the human condition.
应用社会心理学研究存在一个问题——这可能被认为是众所周知的房间里的大象——它是罕见的应用社会心理学文章或一组文章，最终被实施为改善人类状况的干预或政策（Bhave et al.，2016；Bickman&Rog，2008；Dasgupta&Stout，2012；Dir等人，2021；Kantilal等人，2020）。这篇社论的目的是考虑从应用社会心理学研究到将研究结果应用于公司环境中使用的实际政策（例如减少工作场所的歧视）（例如Cesario，2021）、教育部门（例如提高儿童的阅读能力）（例如Preece&Levy，2020）时出现的障碍，健身房（例如，克服那些不愿意进入健身房的人的社交焦虑）（例如，Horenstein等人，2021），或午餐食堂（例如，增加更健康膳食的消费）（例如Lassen等人，2014）。每一项都可以被视为改善人类状况的实际努力。

Abstract In this paper, I revisit my earlier proposal for Results Blind Publishing (RBP) and have added some new perspectives and qualifications regarding it. RBP is a suggestion that research journals decide on publication of submitted manuscripts based on reviewing only their Introduction section (which suggests the substantive importance of the research question addressed by the study) and Methods section (which suggests how likely the study validly answers that question), as a means of avoiding publication bias based on what the results are claimed to be, a bias that exacerbates replicability problems. I differentiate the separate questions of: (1) what should be the criteria for a positive as opposed to null research finding versus (2) what should be the criteria for publication of manuscripts. I believe the conflation of these two different questions fuels some of the controversies and confusion concerning null hypothesis significance testing and similar issues. I also compare the pros and cons of RBP versus the practice of preregistering studies. Further, I cite a potentially serious problem with RBP and suggest a fix-up involving a decision theoretic approach to manuscript publication.

Abstract Stigmatization of one or more discredited attributes has a profoundly negative social impact on stigmatized individuals. Researchers have applied narratives as a persuasion device to reduce stigma. However, the overall effect of narratives on stigma is yet known. This research synthesized and quantified the effect of narratives in reducing stigma and identifies moderating factors. Forty-six effect sizes were extracted from 40 articles investigating the effect of narratives on stigmatization in various stigmatized conditions. A small effect of narratives on reducing stigma was yielded, which indicated that narratives were effective in reducing stigma. Narratives constructed with the first-person point of view were to be superior in reducing stigma. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Abstract One goal of incarceration is offender rehabilitation. We examined whether characteristics of an offender affect beliefs about rehabilitation capacity. In three studies using large samples, we investigated inferences about criminal offenders who were described as juveniles or adults (15 or 30 years old). Participants read about or were shown a picture of a White or Black actor. They judged the offender’s maturation, intentionality, and long-term goals, and indicated their rehabilitation capacity. Black offenders, regardless of age, were seen as more capable of rehabilitation, seen as possessing less intentionality, and having more positive long-term goals than White offenders. Discussion focuses on potential explanations for the data including system justification and attitudinal influence.
