Theories of human emotion, including some emotion embodiment theories, suggest that our moods and affective states are reflected in the movements of our bodies. We used the reverse process for mood regulation; modulate body movements to regulate mood. Dancing is a type of full-body movement characterized by affective expressivity and, hence, offers the possibility to express different affective states through the same movement sequences. We tested whether the repeated imitation of a dancer performing two simple full-body dance movement sequences with different affective expressivity (happy or sad) could change mood states. Computer-based systems, using avatars as dance models to imitate, offer a series of advantages such as independence from physical contact and location. Therefore, we compared mood induction effects in two conditions: participants were asked to imitate dance movements from one of the two avatars showing: (a) videos of a human dancer model or (b) videos of a robot dancer model. The mood induction was successful for both happy and sad imitations, regardless of condition (human vs. robot avatar dance model). Moreover, the magnitude of happy mood induction and how much participants liked the task predicted work-related motivation after the mood induction. We conclude that mood regulation through dance movements is possible and beneficial in the work context.

Bullying victimization can undermine adolescents' well-being. However, few studies have comprehensively investigated the contributions of various victimization forms to well-being and compared which forms were more harmful than others. Evidence on whether resilience and social support moderate such associations is also limited. Using a sample of 12,058 Chinese adolescents in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018, this cross-sectional study aimed to (1) investigate the associations of physical, verbal and relational victimization with well-being; (2) compare the strengths of these associations; and (3) examine the moderating roles of resilience and teacher and parent support in these associations. Results showed that three victimization forms were associated with poorer well-being. Relational and physical victimization were more harmful to most studied well-being outcomes than verbal victimization. Furthermore, resilience weakened the negative effects of physical victimization on negative affect and life satisfaction but aggravated the negative effects of verbal victimization on both outcomes and the negative effect of relational victimization on school belonging. Teacher support intensified the negative effects of physical victimization on school belonging. Parent support was not effective in regulating the victimization–well-being association. The findings underscored the detrimental effects of bullying victimization on adolescents' well-being and the potentially harmful sides of resilience and social support. Implications for bullying prevention were discussed.

Perspective-taking (PT) accessibility has been recognized as an important factor in affecting moral reasoning, also playing a non-trivial role in moral investigation towards autonomous vehicles (AVs). A new proposal to deepen this effect leverages the principles of the veil of ignorance (VOI), as a moral reasoning device aimed to control self-interested decisions by limiting the access to specific perspectives and to potentially biased information. Throughout two studies, we deepen the role of VOI reasoning in the moral perception of AVs, disclosing personal and contingent information progressively throughout the experiment. With the use of the moral trilemma paradigm, two different VOI conditions were operationalized, inspired by the Original Position theory by John Rawls and the Equiprobability Model by John Harsanyi. Evidence suggests a significant role of VOI reasoning in affecting moral reasoning, which seems not independent from the order in which information is revealed. Coherently, a detrimental effect of self-involvement on utilitarian behaviours was detected. These results highlight the importance of considering PT accessibility and self-involvement when investigating moral attitudes towards AVs, since it can help the intelligibility of general concerns and hesitations towards this new technology.

Walking direction conveyed by biological motion (BM) cues, which humans are highly sensitive to since birth, can elicit involuntary shifts of attention to enhance the detection of static targets. Here, we demonstrated that such intrinsic sensitivity to walking direction could also modulate the direction perception of simultaneously presented dynamic stimuli. We showed that the perceived direction of apparent motion was biased towards the walking direction even though observers had been informed in advance that the walking direction of BM did not predict the apparent motion direction. In particular, rightward BM cues had an advantage over leftward BM cues in altering the perception of motion direction. Intriguingly, this perceptual bias disappeared when BM cues were shown inverted, or when the critical biological characteristics were removed from the cues. Critically, both the perceptual direction bias and the rightward advantage persisted even when only local BM cues were presented without any global configuration. Furthermore, the rightward advantage was found to be specific to social cues (i.e., BM), as it vanished when non-social cues (i.e., arrows) were utilized. Taken together, these findings support the existence of a specific processing mechanism for life motion signals and shed new light on their influences in a dynamic environment.

The Morality-Agency-Communion (MAC) model of respect and liking suggests that traits linked with morality are important for respect and liking; traits related to competence or assertiveness are important for respect and traits related to warmth are important for liking. However, tests of this model have tended not to consider traits related to immorality, incompetence, lack of assertiveness or coldness. This study addressed this issue by utilizing a within-subjects design in which participants were required to rate their respect and liking for individuals with specific trait types across four categories (moral; competence; assertiveness; and warmth) at three levels (positive, negative and neutral). The central tenets of the MAC model were supported for ‘positive’ traits (morality, competence, assertiveness and warmth). However, for ‘negative’ traits (immorality, incompetence and lack of assertiveness), individuals were similarly not liked and not respected. Individuals who were cold were respected more than liked. The findings of this study extend the MAC model by indicating that the amount that individuals are respected versus liked depends not only on trait type but also whether a trait is positive or negative.

Previous research on the use of peripheral vision to identify two spatially separated stimuli simultaneously has led to the conclusion that the focus of attention has the form of a symmetric ellipse with a broader expansion along the horizontal compared to the vertical meridian. However, research on pseudoneglect has indicated that attention is not symmetrically distributed to the whole visual field. Here, we test if the attention window is indeed symmetrical with regard to its shape and resolution during peripheral vision. The results indicate that the position of those stimuli relative to the focus of attention influences the ability to identify a given set of stimuli. Specifically, stimuli presented to the left and top of the fixation point were more frequently identified correctly compared to those presented to the right bottom. That is, the attention window is rather not symmetric, which must be considered in future studies on the nature of the focus of attention.

People often form first impressions of others based on face and/or voice cues. This study aimed to compare the first impressions formed under these two cues. First, we compared free descriptions based on face and voice cues and found differences in the content and frequency of the personality words. We then compiled three wordlists used for face-based and voice-based first impression evaluations separately or simultaneously. Second, using these wordlists, we compared face-based and voice-based first impression ratings and found that both had significant intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. However, using the mean of the actors' self-rating and their acquaintance rating as the validity criterion, only the ratings of ‘ingenuous’ and ‘mature’ traits in the face-based first impression evaluation were significantly correlated with the validity criterion. Factor analysis revealed that face-based first impression had the dimensions of capability and approachability, while voice-based first impression had capability, approachability and reliability. The findings indicate that stable first impressions can be formed by either face or voice cues. However, the specific composition of impressions will vary between the cues. These results also provide a foundation for studying first impressions formed by an integrated perception of voice and face cues.

Displaced aggression refers to pernicious acts against innocent people. To date, little is known about mechanisms underlying dynamic changes in displaced aggression. The present study constructed a cross-lagged model to examine the dynamic effects of relative deprivation on displaced aggression and the mediation mechanisms underlying these effects. A total of 1130 undergraduate students participated in this three-wave longitudinal study. The results showed that relative deprivation predicted changes in displaced aggression through concurrent changes in levels of hostile attribution bias and moral disengagement. Hostile attribution bias and moral disengagement could predict each other longitudinally. The relationships between relative deprivation and displaced aggression, and relative deprivation and hostile attribution bias were mutual. This multiple mediation model with two mutually predicting mediators was explained from the aggressive motivation perspective. The findings help inform aggression theories and have implications for the prevention of and interventions against displaced aggression.

Although several studies have addressed the relations between perceived parental warmth and social behaviours, few have distinguished their between- and within-person effects or explored their within-person mediating mechanisms. This study examined the transactional relations among perceived parental warmth (i.e. maternal warmth and paternal warmth), children's self-esteem and children's positive/negative social behaviours (i.e. prosocial behaviour and delinquent behaviour) along with the mediating role of self-esteem after disentangling between- and within-person effects. A total of 4315 Chinese elementary children (44.9% girls; Mage = 9.93 years, SD = 0.73) completed relevant measures on four occasions employing 6-month intervals. Results of random-intercept cross-lagged panel models showed that (a) perceived parental warmth reciprocally and positively predicted prosocial behaviour and self-esteem; (b) perceived paternal warmth reciprocally and negatively predicted delinquent behaviour; (c) self-esteem reciprocally predicted prosocial and delinquent behaviour; (d) perceived maternal warmth reciprocally and positively predicted prosocial behaviour through self-esteem; (e) perceived parental warmth reciprocally and negatively predicted delinquent behaviour through self-esteem; and (f) perceived maternal and paternal warmth differed in their relations with prosocial and delinquent behaviours through self-esteem. These findings illuminated the complicated longitudinal within-person interactions among perceived parental warmth, self-esteem, and social behaviours, the specific mediating mechanism of self-esteem, and the differing results associated with perceived maternal and paternal warmth, all of which yield significant implications for assessments and early interventions aimed to promote positive social behaviour.

As the Chair of Editorial Advisory Group for the British Psychological Society (BPS) Journals, I am delighted to present this special issue of landmark papers. Each paper within the collection is focused on the topic of inequality within the field of psychology, and one paper has been selected or commissioned by each Editor from all of the BPS portfolio journals. This is the third of the BPS journal's annual landmark editions. In keeping with our 2022 landmark edition on Diversity, we, as Editors, decided to present papers from our subdisciplines on another theme both relevant to society as whole and an area to which we feel psychological knowledge can bring understanding and therefore the potential for change.
Inequality refers to the unequal or unjust distribution of resources and opportunities amongst members of society. Inequality permeates throughout our world, on a global level between different countries but also on a more local level within countries, communities and organizations. Inequality can be overt or more subtle. It is influenced by a whole range of factors including race, gender, sexuality, disability, education, wealth and social class, and many of these factors feature within the papers from this edition.
The BPS as an organization and ourselves as BPS Journal Editors are committed to improving equality of access. The BPS aims to reduce inequality within the discipline and profession of psychology and to work to eradicate discriminatory practice. As Editors, we want to encourage submissions from researchers from non-Western countries, from Black and other ethnic minority groups, from women, from people with disabilities and others who have traditionally found it harder to succeed in the academic world. For us, reducing inequality means having editorial board members and peer reviewers from diverse backgrounds. We also use the process of double-blind peer review across our journals, and there is recent evidence that this process reduces bias and boosts diverse authorship (Fox et al., 2023). Furthermore, we want to continue to publish research on the topic of inequality and topics that are relevant to those who experience inequality in access.
This is the third special issue of landmark papers from the BPS journals, and presenting these papers together showcases the breath of current psychological science. We believe that psychological science has the potential to develop understanding of inequality and therefore instigate change in thinking and practice towards embracing different influences and reducing the unequal opportunities that people face.

作为英国心理学会(BPS)期刊编辑咨询小组的主席,我很高兴为大家介绍这期具有里程碑意义的论文特刊。文集中的每篇论文都聚焦于心理学领域内的不平等主题,并且每一位编辑都从所有BPS组合期刊中选择或委托了一篇论文。这是BPS杂志年度里程碑版的第三期。为了与我们2022年具有里程碑意义的多样性版本保持一致,我们作为编辑,决定从我们的子学科中提出另一个主题的论文,这个主题既与整个社会相关,又与我们认为心理学知识可以带来理解的领域有关,因此有可能发生变化。不平等是指社会成员之间资源和机会的分配不平等或不公正。不平等现象在世界各地普遍存在,不仅存在于全球不同国家之间,也存在于国家、社区和组织内部的地方层面。不平等可以是明显的,也可以是微妙的。它受到一系列因素的影响,包括种族、性别、性取向、残疾、教育、财富和社会阶层,其中许多因素在本期的论文中都有体现。BPS作为一个组织,以及我们作为BPS期刊编辑,都致力于改善获取信息的公平性。BPS的目标是减少心理学学科和专业内的不平等,并努力消除歧视性做法。作为编辑,我们希望鼓励来自非西方国家、黑人和其他少数民族、女性、残疾人和其他传统上难以在学术界取得成功的研究人员的投稿。对我们来说,减少不平等意味着拥有来自不同背景的编辑委员会成员和同行评议人。我们还在期刊中使用双盲同行评议的过程,最近有证据表明,这一过程减少了偏见,促进了作者的多样性(Fox et al., 2023)。此外,我们希望继续发表关于不平等主题的研究,以及与那些经历不平等的人相关的主题。这是BPS期刊中具有里程碑意义的论文的第三期特刊,将这些论文放在一起展示了当前心理科学的气息。我们相信,心理科学有潜力发展对不平等的理解,从而激发思维和实践的变化,以接受不同的影响,减少人们面临的不平等机会。我们已经确定了2024年的主题,重点是联合国可持续发展目标,我们希望你能继续阅读这些作品,以激发你的研究和实践的发展。最后,我想借此机会,代表我自己和BPS期刊的其他主编,感谢你们为这一里程碑式的版本做出贡献的人,以及我们的常规编辑团队和一年来提供同行评议的人。我们充分意识到,没有您的支持,期刊无法正常运作。
{"title":"Editorial: Introducing the British Psychological Society Journals' landmark special issue on inequality","authors":"Katherine Berry","doi":"10.1111/bjop.12673","DOIUrl":"10.1111/bjop.12673","url":null,"abstract":"<p>As the Chair of Editorial Advisory Group for the British Psychological Society (BPS) Journals, I am delighted to present this special issue of landmark papers. Each paper within the collection is focused on the topic of inequality within the field of psychology, and one paper has been selected or commissioned by each Editor from all of the BPS portfolio journals. This is the third of the BPS journal's annual landmark editions. In keeping with our 2022 landmark edition on Diversity, we, as Editors, decided to present papers from our subdisciplines on another theme both relevant to society as whole and an area to which we feel psychological knowledge can bring understanding and therefore the potential for change.</p><p>Inequality refers to the unequal or unjust distribution of resources and opportunities amongst members of society. Inequality permeates throughout our world, on a global level between different countries but also on a more local level within countries, communities and organizations. Inequality can be overt or more subtle. It is influenced by a whole range of factors including race, gender, sexuality, disability, education, wealth and social class, and many of these factors feature within the papers from this edition.</p><p>The BPS as an organization and ourselves as BPS Journal Editors are committed to improving equality of access. The BPS aims to reduce inequality within the discipline and profession of psychology and to work to eradicate discriminatory practice. As Editors, we want to encourage submissions from researchers from non-Western countries, from Black and other ethnic minority groups, from women, from people with disabilities and others who have traditionally found it harder to succeed in the academic world. For us, reducing inequality means having editorial board members and peer reviewers from diverse backgrounds. We also use the process of double-blind peer review across our journals, and there is recent evidence that this process reduces bias and boosts diverse authorship (Fox et al., <span>2023</span>). Furthermore, we want to continue to publish research on the topic of inequality and topics that are relevant to those who experience inequality in access.</p><p>This is the third special issue of landmark papers from the BPS journals, and presenting these papers together showcases the breath of current psychological science. We believe that psychological science has the potential to develop understanding of inequality and therefore instigate change in thinking and practice towards embracing different influences and reducing the unequal opportunities that people face. We will have already identified a topic for 2024 focused on the United Nations Sustainability Goals, and we hope you will continue to read the work to inspire developments in your research and practice.</p><p>Finally, on behalf of myself and other Editors in Chief for the BPS journals, I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who hav","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjop.12673","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9763363","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}
