Are there gender differences in promotion-prevention self-regulatory focus?
Br J Psychol. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research is to examine gender differences in promotion/prevention self-regulatory focus, a dispositional motivational orientation with major implications for human functioning. First, a review of literature using social cognitive theory as a framework suggests that, driven by socialization processes, (1) women may on average be more prevention focused than men - meaning more vigilant to maintain a secure status quo, whereas (2) men may on average be more promotion focused than women - meaning more eager to advance to a bet...

Personal pronouns and person perception - Do paired and nonbinary pronouns evoke a normative gender bias?
Br J Psychol. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12686. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch on gender-fair language aims to identify language inclusive to a multitude of individuals, for example, increasing the visibility of women by using paired pronouns (he/she) instead of generic masculine forms (he). However, binary presentations like he/she might come with unwanted side effects and evoke what we label as normative gender bias. A normative gender bias is defined as when words lead to stronger associations with individuals with normative gender expressions than with individuals with non-normative gender expressions, thus...

Cynical people desire power but rarely acquire it: Exploring the role of cynicism in leadership attainment
Br J Psychol. 2023 Nov 1. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12685. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDo cynical individuals have a stronger desire for power and are they more likely to acquire power at work? The negative consequences of cynicism-for cynics themselves and the people around them-render the examination of these questions particularly important. We first examined the role of cynicism in power motives. Results showed that more cynical individuals have a greater desire for power to avoid exploitation by others (and less so to exploit others; Study 1) and score higher on dominance (but not prestige or leadership) motives (Study 2). ...
