  • from uncertainty to extremism social categorization and Identity processes
    Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2014
    Co-Authors: Michael A. Hogg
    Abstract:

    Societal change and personal life events sometimes make one feel uncertain about one’s Self and Identity. According to uncertainty-Identity theory, this Self-uncertainty can motivate people to identify with social groups, particularly groups that provide a distinctive and clearly defined Identity and associated normative beliefs and behavioral prescriptions. This process can make more extreme groups and behaviors attractive as a source of identification-contingent uncertainty reduction. People may zealously identify with highly distinctive groups that have strong and directive leadership and ideological and ethnocentric belief systems that proscribe dissent and prescribe group-normative behavior. This analysis has been extended to help illuminate how extremism may emerge in the context of religion, politics, gangs, leadership, and adolescent risk taking. This article describes uncertainty-Identity theory, overviews empirical support for its main tenets, and outlines some directions for future research.

  • Research in leadership, Self, and Identity
    The Leadership Quarterly, 2005
    Co-Authors: Barbara Wisse, D. Van Knippenberg, David De Cremer, Michael A. Hogg
    Abstract:

    Researchers in leadership effectiveness are paying increasing attention to the role of follower Self-concept and Identity as a mediator and moderator of the effectiveness of leadership. In this introductory article, we provide a short outline of this rapidly growing field of research, briefly introduce the articles presented in this special issue on leadership, Self, and Identity, and highlight key themes for future research that we feel emerge from these studies. These themes include greater attention to the dynamic interplay between leaders and followers, the incorporation of theories of fairness, and the role of leader Self-concept. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.

  • leadership Self and Identity a review and research agenda
    Leadership Quarterly, 2004
    Co-Authors: Daan Van Knippenberg, David De Cremer, Barbara Van Knippenberg, Michael A. Hogg
    Abstract:

    This article reviews empirical research on the role of follower Self-conception in leader-ship effectiveness. and specifies an agenda for future research in this area. The review shows that several aspects of follower Self-conception (i.e., Self-construal, Self-efficacy, Self-esteem, and Self-consistency) may be affected by leadership. and may mediate the effects of leadership on follower behavior. There also is consistent evidence that follower Self-construal moderates the impact of leadership on follower attitudes and behavior. Two key themes for future research are defined. First, future research should focus on the development of theory about the role of relational Self-construal in the leadership process. Second, it seems particularly valuable to develop theory about the interplay of different aspects of follower Self-conception in leadership effectiveness. including the interactive effects of these aspects of Self Working backwards from these theoretical models of follower Self-conception, specific leader behavior relevant to these aspects of Self should then be identified.

  • Self and Social Identity
    Annual Review of Psychology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Naomi Ellemers, Russell Spears, Bertjan Doosje
    Abstract:

    In this chapter, we examine the Self and Identity by considering the different conditions under which these are affected by the groups to which people belong. From a social Identity perspective we argue that group commitment, on the one hand, and features of the social context, on the other hand, are crucial determinants of central Identity concerns. We develop a taxonomy of situations to reflect the different concerns and motives that come into play as a result of threats to personal and group Identity and degree of commitment to the group. We specify for each cell in this taxonomy how these issues of Self and social Identity impinge upon a broad variety of responses at the perceptual, affective, and behavioral level.

  • beyond prevalence to process the role of Self and Identity in medical student well being
    Medical Education, 2014
    Co-Authors: Kenneth I Mavor, Kathleen G Mcneill, Katrina Anderson, Annelise Kerr, Erin Oreilly, Michael J. Platow
    Abstract:

    Context Problematic stress levels among medical students have been well established. This stress can lead to depression, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, burnout and cynicism, having a negative effect on students and their patients. Methods We propose to move towards examining the processes underlying well-being in some medical students and vulnerability in others. We draw upon social psychological literature to propose that Self-complexity, medical student Identity and associated norms all have the capacity to influence medical students' well-being in both positive and negative ways. Results We identify two key dilemmas facing medical students with regard to the social psychological factors investigated. First, a diverse set of interests and a high level of Self-complexity is thought to buffer against the effects of stress and might also be beneficial for medical practitioners, but the intensive nature of medical education makes it difficult for students to pursue outside interests, leading to a strongly focused Identity. Second, a strong group Identity is associated with high levels of social support and improved well-being, but unhealthy group norms may have a greater influence on individuals who have a strong group Identity, encouraging them to engage in behaviours that place their well-being at risk. A model is proposed outlining how these potentially contradictory social psychological processes may combine to impact upon medical students' well-being. Conclusions There is great scope for investigating the role of Self-complexity, Identity and norms in the medical education context, with room to investigate each of these factors alone and in combination. We highlight how our proposed model can inform medical educators as to the students who may be most vulnerable to the effects of stress and the potential interventions from which they may benefit. We conclude that social psychological factors make a valuable contribution to understanding the complex issue of well-being in medical education.

  • a social cognitive ecological framework for understanding the impact of exposure to persistent ethnic political violence on children s psychosocial adjustment
    Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review, 2009
    Co-Authors: Eric F Dubow, Rowell L Huesmann, Paul Boxer
    Abstract:

    In this article, we describe a theoretical framework for understanding how persistent and extreme exposure to ethnic–political conflict and violence interacts with cognitive, emotional, and Self processes to influence children’s psychosocial adjustment. Three recent strands of theorizing guide our approach. First, we focus on how observational and social learning processes combine to influence the development of social-cognitive structures and processes that affect behavior. Second, we focus on the role of developing Self and Identity processes in shaping the child’s interactions with the world and the consequences of those interactions. Third, we build on the complex systems perspective on development and assume that human development can only be understood accurately by examining how the multiple contexts affecting children and the adults in their lives interact to moderate biosocial factors which predispose individuals to develop in certain directions. We review the recent empirical literature on children’s exposure to ethnic–political violence and we apply the social-cognitive-ecological framework to the empirical findings in this literature. Finally, we propose future directions for research and clinical implications derived from this framework.

  • Cutting a diamond out of stone: psychological perspectives on changing Self and Identity
    Netherlands Journal of Psychology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Naomi Ellemers
    Abstract:

    Perhaps a diamond is hidden in each of us, but can we bring it out? The conviction that we can be whoever we want to be is widespread. Books, courses and ‘ten-step programs’ all provide recommendations for Self-improvement and claim that dramatic changes in the way we feel about ourselves, in the relationships we have with others, and in our achievements at work are within reach. Television programs like ‘Extreme makeover’ suggest that even aspects of our appearance that we tend to see as immutable can be altered, and that everyone can change into an attractive person. We can boost our Self-esteem with the aid of a therapist, who is nowadays easily available on the internet, people who are dieting or quit smoking share their experiences with us so that we can follow suit, and at work guidelines are offered to help us optimise the way we interact with clients or co-workers. But to what extent can we actually change the way we are? Can we really consider these aspects of Self as a set of accessories that we can put on or take off at will, or are they ingrained into our Identity? Is it possible to attain an ideal Self by just wiping away undesirable aspects of our Identity? Can every chunk of coal actually become a diamond someday? These questions are the focus of this special issue that addresses different psychological perspectives relevant to the processes of change in Self and Identity.
