Adopting a social psychological approach, across three studies (N = 927) in two western immigrant‐receiving societies (UK and Canada), we examined the role of honour in acculturation variables (i.e., immigrants' heritage and mainstream cultural orientation and well‐being), controlling for some of the commonly studied predictors of immigrant adaptation. We assessed honour as concern (Studies 1 and 2)

Introducing and validating a single‐item measure of identity leadership: The visual identity leadership scale (VILS) British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 6.92) Pub Date : 2024-04-08 Niklas K. Steffens, Srinivasan Tatachari, S. Alexander Haslam, Jérémy E. Wilson‐Lemoine, Mazlan Maskor, Rolf van Dick, Benedikt E. Kratzer, Julia Christensen, Rudolf Kerschreiter
In the present research, we introduce and validate a single‐item measure of identity leadership—the visual identity leadership scale (VILS). The VILS uses Venn diagrams of sets of overlapping circles to denote different degrees of alignment between a leader's characteristics and behaviours and a group's values and goals. Key advantages of the VILS over other existing multi‐item scales are that it provides

Observing an association between socioeconomic status (SES) and health reliably leads to the question, “What are the pathways involved?” Despite enormous investment in research on the characteristics, behaviors, and traits of people disadvantaged with respect to health inequalities, the issue remains unresolved. We turn our attention to actions of more advantaged groups by asking people to self-report

ObjectiveTheories about within‐person (WP) variation are often tested using between‐person (BP) research, despite the well‐established fact that results may not generalize across levels of analysis. One possible explanation is vague theories that do not specify which level of analysis is of interest. We illustrate such a case using the construct of self‐compassion.

Does believing that “effort doesn't pay” in society shape how people view dishonest‐illegal transgressions? Across five studies, we show that when people view societal success as non‐meritocratic—that is, more dependent on luck and circumstances than on hard work—they are more lenient in their moral judgements of dishonest‐illegal transgressions. Perceiving society as non‐meritocratic predicted greater

IntroductionNegative urgency is a personality pathway toward impulsive behavior that increases risk for transdiagnostic psychopathology.
