What are they in it for? Marginalised group members' perceptions of allies differ depending on the costs and rewards associated with their allyship
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Aug 3. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12670. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvantaged group allies can incur costs or rewards as a result of their allyship. The present work investigates whether such costs and rewards affect how marginalised group members perceive these allies. Across four experiments that collectively examine marginalised group members' perceptions of individual and corporate allies in the context of allyship for women's rights, Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQI+ community, we find that allies are perceived differently as a function of the costs and rewards associated with their allyship. Allies...

The utility of nostalgia for unhealthy populations: A systematic review and narrative analysis
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Aug 3. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12676. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNostalgic reverie (i.e. sentimental longing) has received increased attention as a predictor of health and well-being, but only a handful of reviews have summarized this literature. The available reviews (Dementia: The International Journal of Social Research and Practice, 19, 2020, 330; Intimations of nostalgia: Multidisciplinary explorations of an enduring emotion, Bristol University Press, 2022) left a critical gap in explicating the function of nostalgia among people engaged in unhealthy behaviour. In the current systematic review and ...

Connecting groups and behaviours: A network analysis of identity-infused behaviours
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Aug 2. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12674. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch in the social identity tradition acknowledges the multiplicity of our identities and the implications that identity compatibility has for our health and well-being. However, current measures of multiple group membership have not yet captured the richness and complexity of our social identity networks at the wider sample level, and data regarding the different behaviours typically associated with different group memberships are scarce. Adopting a network approach, we explore the co-occurrence of different group memberships within a...

An investigation of politicians' responses to urban diversity and disadvantage: The case of the Danish 'parallel societies'
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Jul 27. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12673. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe examine how Danish politicians articulate views on the 'parallel society agreement' (aka, the 'ghetto-laws'), a controversial legislative intervention aiming to manage urban migration-related diversity. Through nationwide urban redevelopment aimed at facilitating residential 'mixing', the goal of the legislation is to eliminate so-called 'parallel societies'-socio-economically deprived neighbourhoods characterized by high concentrations of ethnic minorities. In-depth interviews with Danish politicians (n = 11) explored how this proposa...

Impresarios of identity: How the leaders of Czechoslovakia's 'Candlelight Demonstration' enabled effective collective action in a context of repression
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Jul 22. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12671. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper presents an analysis of identity leadership (Haslam et al., The new psychology of leadership: Identity, influence and power, Routledge, 2020) in the 1988 'Candlelight Demonstration' in Bratislava which was a precursor to the 1989 Velvet Revolution. The analysis is based on interviews with the five remaining leaders of the demonstration and addresses three core issues. First, how leaders use performative means (identity impresarioship) as well as limited rhetorical means (identity entrepreneurship) to assemble protestors and cre...
