emotion in inter Group Relations
European Review of Social Psychology, 2008Co-Authors: Aarti Iyer, Colin Wayne LeachAbstract:The study of inter-Group Relations has seen a renewed emphasis on emotion. Various frameworks converge on the general conceptualisation of Group-level emotions, with respect to their antecedent appraisals and implications for inter-Group Relations. However, specific points of divergence remain unresolved regarding terminology and operationalisation, as well as the role of self-relevance (e.g., self-categorisation, in-Group identification) in moderating the strength of emotion that individuals feel about Groups and their inter-Relations. In this chapter we first present a typology of Group-level emotions in order to classify current conceptual and empirical approaches, differentiating them along the dimensions of the (individual or Group) subject and object of emotion. The second section reviews evidence for the claim that individuals feel stronger Group-level emotions about things that are relevant to their self-concept, with emphasis on three indicators of self-relevance: domain relevance, self-categoris...

divided loyalties perceptions of disloyalty underpin bias toward dually identified minority Group members
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2019Co-Authors: Jonas R Kunst, L A Thomsen, John F DovidioAbstract:Majority-Group members often hold negative attitudes toward minority-Group members who identify with both the majority and their minority Group. Integrating perspectives from social identity theory and acculturation research with a coalitional psychology framework, we show that an underlying mechanism for such bias is the perception that dual identifiers are disloyal to the majority Group. In Study 1, majority-Group participants in the U.S. questioned the loyalty of a dually identified Arab immigrant more than one who identified solely with the (American) majority Group, especially under interGroup threat, which in turn predicted less favorable feelings toward the immigrant. Study 2 conceptually replicated the effect of the identity manipulation and the mediating influence of perceived loyalty on judgments about an immigrant being allowed to enlist in the U.S. military. Study 3, partially replicated the findings in Poland, focusing on Russian immigrants as targets. In Study 4, which independently manipulated both the identity expressed by immigrants and their loyalty, a dually identified immigrant whose loyalty to the majority Group was portrayed as high was not judged as less qualified than an immigrant who identified only with the majority Group for jobs with the potential to inflict damage on the majority Group. Study 5, replicated and extended the previous studies in the context of fans of allied or rival soccer teams in Germany, revealing the moderating role of existing Group Relations on the hypothesized loyalty processes. In summary, coalitionally driven perceptions of (dis)loyalty appear to undergird bias toward minority-Group members who hold dual identifications.

interGroup Relations and health disparities a social psychological perspective
Health Psychology, 2013Co-Authors: Brenda Major, Wendy Berry Mendes, John F DovidioAbstract:Objective: This article considers how the social psychology of interGroup processes helps to explain the presence and persistence of health disparities between members of socially advantaged and disadvantaged Groups. Method: Social psychological theory and research on interGroup Relations, including prejudice, discrimination, stereotyping, stigma, prejudice concerns, social identity threat, and the dynamics of interGroup interactions, is reviewed and applied to understand Group disparities in health and health care. Potential directions for future research are considered. Results: Key features of Group Relations and dynamics, including social categorization, social hierarchy, and the structural positions of Groups along dimensions of perceived warmth and competence, influence how members of high status Groups perceive, feel about, and behave toward members of low status Groups, how members of low status Groups construe and cope with their situation, and how members of high and low status Groups interact with each other. These interGroup processes, in turn, contribute to health disparities by leading to differential exposure to and experiences of chronic and acute stress, different health behaviors, and different quality of health care experienced by members of advantaged and disadvantaged Groups. Within each of these pathways, social psychological theory and research identifies mediating mechanisms, moderating factors, and individual differences that can affect health. Conclusions: A social psychological perspective illuminates the interGroup, interpersonal, and intrapersonal processes by which structural circumstances which differ between Groups for historical, political, and economic reasons can lead to Group differences in health.

symplectic mapping class Group Relations generalizing the chain relation
International Journal of Mathematics, 2016Co-Authors: Bahar Acu, Russell AvdekAbstract:In this paper, we examine mapping class Group Relations of some symplectic manifolds. For each n ≥ 1 and k ≥ 1, we show that the 2n-dimensional Weinstein domain W = {f = δ}∩B2n+2, determined by the degree k homogeneous polynomial f ∈ ℂ[z0,…,zn], has a Boothby–Wang type boundary and a right-handed fibered Dehn twist along the boundary that is symplectically isotopic to a product of right-handed Dehn twists along Lagrangian spheres. We also present explicit descriptions of the symplectomorphisms in the case n = 2 recovering the classical chain relation for the torus with two boundary components.

symplectic mapping class Group Relations generalizing the chain relation
arXiv: Geometric Topology, 2014Co-Authors: Bahar Acu, Russell AvdekAbstract:In this paper, we examine mapping class Group Relations of some symplectic manifolds. For each $n\geq 1$ and $k \geq 1$, we show that the $2n$-dimensional Weinstein domain $W = \{f=\delta\} \cap B^{2n+2}$, determined by the degree $k$ homogeneous polynomial $f\in \mathbb{C}[z_0,\dots,z_n]$, has a Boothby-Wang type boundary and a right-handed fibered Dehn twist along the boundary that is symplectically isotopic to a product of right-handed Dehn twists along Lagrangian spheres. We also present explicit descriptions of the symplectomorphisms in the case $n=2$ recovering the classical chain relation for the torus with two boundary components.

how does social essentialism affect the development of inter Group Relations
Developmental Science, 2018Co-Authors: Marjorie Rhodes, Sarahjane Leslie, Katya Saunders, Yarrow Dunham, Andrei CimpianAbstract:Psychological essentialism is a pervasive conceptual bias to view categories as reflecting something deep, stable, and informative about their members. Scholars from diverse disciplines have long theorized that psychological essentialism has negative ramifications for inter-Group Relations, yet little previous empirical work has experimentally tested the social implications of essentialist beliefs. Three studies (N = 127, ages 4.5-6) found that experimentally inducing essentialist beliefs about a novel social category led children to share fewer resources with category members, but did not lead to the out-Group dislike that defines social prejudice. These findings indicate that essentialism negatively influences some key components of inter-Group Relations, but does not lead directly to the development of prejudice.
