which group to credit and blame whites make attributions about white minority biracials successes and failures based on their own anti egalitarianism and ethnic identification
Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, 2019Co-Authors: Kaylene J Mcclanahan, Nour KteilyAbstract:Individuals’ perceptions of biracials can vary based on the motives of the Perceiver. Here, we examine how two factors—Perceivers’ group-level identification motives and their system-level beliefs ...

anti egalitarianism differentially predicts empathy for members of advantaged versus disadvantaged groups
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Brian J Lucas, Nour KteilyAbstract:We explore the relationship between group-based egalitarianism and empathy for members of advantaged groups (e.g., corporate executives; state officials) versus disadvantaged groups (e.g., blue-collar workers; schoolteachers) subjected to harmful actions, events, or policies. Whereas previous research suggests that anti-egalitarians (vs. egalitarians) dispositionally exhibit less empathy for others, we propose that this relationship depends on the target's position in the social hierarchy. We examined this question across eight studies (N = 3,154) conducted in the U.S. and the U.K., including online and in-person experiments and examining attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. We observed that (anti-)egalitarianism negatively predicted empathy for members of disadvantaged groups subjected to harmful situations, but positively predicted empathy for members of advantaged groups. This pattern held regardless of Perceivers' own membership in advantaged or disadvantaged groups (i.e., Perceiver gender, race, or SES). (Anti-)egalitarianism's differential effects on empathy for advantaged versus disadvantaged targets were attributable in part to differences in perceived degree of harm incurred (beyond roles for perceived value conflict and perceived deservingness): Egalitarians perceived the same action as more harmful than anti-egalitarians when it occurred to a disadvantaged target but less harmful than anti-egalitarians when it occurred to an advantaged target. We also explored how these patterns informed individuals' downstream policy attitudes and policy-relevant behavior (e.g., willingness to sign a petition). Our findings enrich understanding of (anti-)egalitarianism by testing competing perspectives on the link between (anti-)egalitarianism and empathy, and by demonstrating when and why individuals' preferences for social equality (vs. hierarchy) lead them to extend versus withhold empathy.

you re one of us black americans use of hypodescent and its association with egalitarianism
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Nour Kteily, Jacqueline M ChenAbstract:Research on multiracial categorization has focused on majority group social Perceivers (i.e., White Americans), demonstrating that they (a) typically categorize Black-White multiracials according to a rule of hypodescent, associating them more with their lower status parent group than their higher status parent group, and (b) do so at least in part to preserve the hierarchical status quo. The current work examines whether members of an ethnic minority group, Black Americans, also associate Black-White multiracials more with their minority versus majority parent group and if so, why. The first 2 studies (1A and 1B) directly compared Black and White Americans, and found that although both Blacks and Whites categorized Black-White multiracials as more Black than White, Whites' use of hypodescent was associated with intergroup antiegalitarianism, whereas Blacks' use of hypodescent was associated with intergroup egalitarianism. Studies 2-3 reveal that egalitarian Blacks use hypodescent in part because they perceive that Black-White biracials face discrimination and consequently feel a sense of linked fate with them. This research establishes that the use of hypodescent extends to minority as well as majority Perceivers but also shows that the beliefs associated with the use of hypodescent differ as a function of Perceiver social status. In doing so, we broaden the social scientific understanding of hypodescent, showing how it can be an inclusionary rather than exclusionary phenomenon. (PsycINFO Database Record

a group by any other name the role of entitativity in group perception
European Review of Social Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: David L Hamilton, Steven J. Sherman, Luigi CastelliAbstract:The social world consists of numerous and diverse groupings of people into meaningful and important collectives. As Perceivers, we routinely encounter aggregates of people, some of which we endow with the property of groupness, and others we do not. Moreover, the variety of groups is enormous, yet Perceivers differentiate among them and understand their properties. This chapter discusses how and why Perceivers “see” an aggregate of persons as a group, the distinctions among different types of groups that Perceivers detect, the variation among groups in their perceived groupness or entitativity, and the consequences that follow from perceiving a group as an entitative unit. The results of our research program addressing these issues are summarized, and implications for remaining unanswered questions are discussed.

role of personality traits in first impressions an investigation of actual and perceived personality similarity effects on interpersonal attraction across communication modalities
Journal of Research in Personality, 2018Co-Authors: Zeynep Cemalcilar, Lemi Baruh, Murat Kezer, Roza G Kamiloglu, Bihter NigdeliAbstract:Abstract We investigate the effects of Perceivers’ impressions of others’ personality traits on their social attraction, after a brief encounter face-to-face or via Facebook. We first examine the main effects of perceived personality traits. Next, we compare and contrast the effects of perceived- and actual- personality similarity through polynomial regressions with response surface analysis (RSA) accounting for dyads’ respective levels of personality traits. Results suggest that RSA yield estronger effects of perceived similarity (vs. actual) on attraction. Perceivers are more attracted to targets who are “better versions” of themselves, yet too much discrepancy impede attraction, more so when face-to-face.
