Dealing with negative stereotypes in sports: The role of cognitive anxiety when multiple identities are activated in sensorimotor tasks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08)Based on research on stereotype threat and multiple identities, this work explores the beneficial effects of activating a positive social identity when a negative identity is salient on women’s performance in sports. Further, in line with research on the effects of anxiety in sports, we investigate whether the activation of a positive social identity buffers performance from cognitive anxiety ... -
Does she comfort the victim whilst he punishes the perpetrator? No gender differences in anonymous economic games across 11 nations.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-26)Social role theory posits that occupational gender roles give rise to gender differences in behavior, such that men and women engage in qualitatively different prosocial behaviors. Therefore, we expected that women who observed an unfair situation (involving a victim and a perpetrator) would respond by demonstrating communal prosocial behavior (by compensating the victim), whereas men would respond ... -
Gender at Work Across Nations: Men and Women Working in Male-Dominated and Female-Dominated Occupations are Differentially Associated with Agency and Communion
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-24)Occupational gender segregation is a worldwide phenomenon. Research from Western regions such as the United States and Europe shows that the observation of occupational gender segregation can perpetuate gender stereotypes (social role theory; men are ascribed agentic traits, whereas women are ascribed communal traits). However, predictions from social role theory have not been well‐tested in non‐Western ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-17)Although Germany and Japan are top-ranking in STEM, women are underrepresented in the STEM fields of physics, engineering, and computer science in both countries. The current research investigated widespread gender-science stereotypes in STEM in the two countries (Studies 1 and 2) and negative consequences of expected backlash (i.e., imagining negative reactions and lower ascribed communion in ... -
The hers and his of prosociality across 10 countries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-19)Is there a ‘more helpful’ gender? The present research assessed gender differences in prosocial self-perceptions, prosocial behavioural intentions, and prosocial (transfer) behaviour in same- and other-gender interactions in 10 countries (N = 1,915). The present results showed negligible differences in the degree to which women and men saw themselves as prosocial. However, larger gender differences ... -
A longitudinal investigation of immigrant children’s ethnic and national identities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-22)How immigrants define their ethnicity and nationality is relevant for integration: They can identify with their ethnic group, the receiving society, and a combination of both. A longitudinal study with elementary-school children with migration background (N = 200; age 9-10) in Germany investigated the predictors and stability of ethnic and national identity. Ethnic identity was more highly endorsed ... -
Psychometric Properties and Correlates of Precarious Manhood Beliefs in 62 Nations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of ... -
The relationship between ethnic classroom composition and turkish-origin and german students' reading performance and sense of belonging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-14)Past research on ethnic composition effects on migrant and ethnic majority students’ performance has reported inconclusive results: Some studies have found no relationship between the proportion of migrant students in school and students’ performance, some revealed positive effects, whereas others showed negative effects of the proportion of migrant students. Most of the studies did not ... -
Social identity threat is related to ethnic minority adolescents’ social approach motivation towards classmates via reduced sense of belonging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-13)The integration of ethnic minority youth can only be successful if they are motivated to establish and maintain social relationships in important institutions such as school. At the same time, worries about negative stereotypes about one’s ethnic group can undermine ethnic minority students’ motivation to approach others. In the present study, we tested whether social identity threat predicts ethnic ... -
Stereotype threat-effects for Turkish-origin migrants in Germany: Taking stock of cumulative research evidence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-24)Turkish-origin migrants on average show lower academic performance than Germans. This achievement gap cannot be fully explained by socio-economic differences between the groups. Negative competence stereotypes about Turkish-origin students predict the causal attributions that German preservice teachers make for migrants’ academic underperformance. Specifically, the more strongly preservice teachers ... -
