    abstract = {Societies undergo constant change, manifested in various ways such as technological developments, economic transitions, reorganization of cultural values and beliefs, or changes in social structures. Individuals play an active role in shaping social and societal change by interactively negotiating its manifestation. However, this shaping of change is seldom harmonious; instead, it is often characterized by dissent and conflict. This special section gathers a collection of articles concerned with the role of attitude–identity dynamics in contexts of contemporary conflict and change. The corpus of research that builds this special section describes mutual impacts of attitudes and identities, explores different actors in social debates and covers a wide range of both established and innovative research methodology. This introduction summarizes and synthesizes the various contributions and offers insights into future research directions.},

    abstract = {We apply a newly developed attitude network-modelling technique (Response-Item Network, or ResIN) to study attitude–identity relationships in the context of hot–button issues that polarize the current US-American electorate. The properties of the network–method allow us to simultaneously depict differences in the structural organization of attitudes between groups and to explore the relevance of organized attitude–systems for group identity management. Individuals based on a sample of US-American crowd workers (N = 396) and the representative 2020 ANES data set (N = 8280), we model an attitude network with two conflictive partisan belief-systems. In the first step, we demonstrate that the structural properties of the attitude-network provide substantial information about latent partisan identities, thereby revealing which attitudes ‘belong’ to specific groups. In a second step, we evaluate the potential of attitudes to communicate identity-relevant information. Results from a vignette study suggest that people rely on their mental representations of attitude-identity links to structure and evaluate their social environment. By highlighting functional interdependences between (macro level) attitude structures and identity management, the presented findings help advancing the understanding of attitude-identity dynamics and socio-political cleavages.},

Study one assessed the twitter response (hashtags in English) to the war in Ukraine for five months after Russia’s first invasion of Ukraine 2022 (N = 8149). Results demonstrated that individuals publicly expressed hashtags similar to others close to them in the followership network, showing their support for Ukraine and condemnation of the Russian invasion in qualitatively different ways. Study two was a preregistered Prolific experiment with geographical European participants ran in September, 2022 (N = 1368). Results demonstrated that attitude interaction with ingroup members motivated interactants towards attitude alignment, and attitude alignment strengthened the identification that motivated the alignment in the first place. Results suggest that attitude expression is performative and constrained by one’s group relationship with one’s audience and the definition of social identity can be constrained by opinion-based identity performance.},

    abstract = {The social identity approach asserts that self-categorization is fluid and created anew in context. Despite this, research often conceptualizes identities as being based on static categories. In this article, we assess: how attitudes may be relevant attributes used to categorize the self and others, and therefore have the potential to foster social identification; how such categories/identities can be updated with new attitudinal information; and how attitudes have greater impact when socially expressed. Across three preregistered computer-mediated interactive experiments (N = 3087), involving attitudes relating to the Ukraine-Russia conflict of 2022, we find, identities can be updated with the introduction of new attitudes in interaction; cumulative attitude congruence strengthens identification; attitudinal interaction strengthens opinion-based group identification and activism intentions, and ingroups can strategically align their attitudes. We conclude that to fully understand identity formation, we must acknowledge the fluidity of self-categories and resultant identities, in line with the original specifications of the social identity approach.},

    abstract = {Abstract Social bots, employed to manipulate public opinion, pose a novel threat to digital societies. Existing bot research has emphasized technological aspects while neglecting psychological factors shaping human–bot interactions. This research addresses this gap within the context of the US-American electorate. Two datasets provide evidence that partisanship distorts (a) online users' representation of bots, (b) their ability to identify them, and (c) their intentions to interact with them. Study 1 explores global bot perceptions on through survey data from N = 452 Twitter (now X) users. Results suggest that users tend to attribute bot-related dangers to political adversaries, rather than recognizing bots as a shared threat to political discourse. Study 2 (N = 619) evaluates the consequences of such misrepresentations for the quality of online interactions. In an online experiment, participants were asked to differentiate between human and bot profiles. Results indicate that partisan leanings explained systematic judgement errors. The same data suggest that participants aim to avoid interacting with bots. However, biased judgements may undermine this motivation in praxis. In sum, the presented findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary strategies that consider technological and human factors to address the threats posed by bots in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.},

    abstract = {This study investigates the emergence of collective identity among individuals critical of vaccination policies in France during the COVID-19 pandemic. As concerns grew over mandated health measures, a loose collective formed on Twitter to assert autonomy over vaccination decisions. Using analyses of pronoun usage, outgroup labeling, and tweet similarity, we examine how this identity emerged. A turning point occurred following President Macron's announcement of mandatory vaccination for health workers and the health pass, sparking substantial changes in linguistic patterns. We observed a shift from first-person singular (I) to first-person plural (we) pronouns, alongside an increased focus on vaccinated individuals as a central outgroup, in addition to authority figures. This shift in language patterns was further reflected in the behavior of new users. An analysis of incoming users revealed that a core group of frequent posters played a crucial role in fostering cohesion and shaping norms. New users who joined during the week of Macron's announcement and continued posting afterward showed an increased similarity with the language of the core group, contributing to the crystallization of the emerging collective identity.},

As such, we propose that the threat caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with increased authoritarian tendencies and that this can be partially explained by increased national identification. We tested this hypothesis by collecting cross-sectional data from three different countries in April 2020. In Study 1, data from Ireland (N = 1276) showed that pandemic threat predicted increased national identification, which in turn predicted authoritarianism. In Study 2, we replicated this indirect effect in a representative UK sample (N = 506). In Study 3, we used an alternative measure of authoritarianism and conceptually replicated this effect among USA citizens (N = 429). In this US sample, the association between threat and authoritarian tendencies was stronger among progressives compared to conservatives. Findings are discussed and linked to group-based models of authoritarianism.},

    null model. This allows us to discover, for example, the extent to which the structure of social interactions differs from that of
    random interactions. Moreover, we provide network visualisations that identify the extent of ingroup favouritism and reciprocity
    as well as particular individuals whose behaviour differs markedly from the norm. We specifically consider experimental data
    collected via the novel Virtual Interaction APPLication (VIAPPL). We find that ingroup favouritism and reciprocity are present in
    social interactions observed on this platform, and that these behaviours strengthen over time. Note that, while our proposed
    methodology was developed with VIAPPL in mind, its potential usage extends to any type of social interaction data.},

    abstract = {Group dynamics and inter-group relations influence the self-perception. The Social Identity Approach explains the role of multiple identities, derived from categories or group memberships, in social interaction and individual behaviour. In agent-based models, agents interact with their environment to make decisions and take actions. Thus, we examine to what extent the interaction in an agent-based model natively captures core principles of the Social Identity Approach. To do so, we extend the Axelrod model and the agreement-threshold model with explicit aspects of the Social Identity Approach to assess their influence on the simulation outcomes. We study the variants of the Axelrod model by using Monte Carlo simulations and compare the simulation results with longitudinal survey data of opinions. These extensive simulations favour the Axelrod model and the agreement-threshold model. These models fit, without the explicit embedding of features from the Social Identity Approach, the volatility of the opinion-based features better for the given data sets. Our two extensions of the Axelrod model formalise elements of the Social Identity Approach; however, they do not support the fitness of the model to the data. In the simulations, even in the standard Axelrod model, the social identity affects the development of the agents' identity through the homophily principle, and the agents, in turn, shape their own social identity by social influence. We argue that the Axelrod model and the agreement-threshold model implicitly include social identities as emerging properties of evolving opinion-based groups. In addition to that, the attitudinal data captures the hidden group structure in the attitude positions of the participants. In this way, core features of the Social Identity Approach already implicitly play a role in these empirically-driven agent-based models.},

    abstract = {Vaccines save millions of lives every year. They are recommended by experts, trusted by the majority of people, and promoted by expensive health campaigns. Even so, people with neutral attitudes are more persuaded by people holding anti-vaccine than pro-vaccine attitudes. Our analysis of vaccine-related attitudes in more than 140 countries makes sense of this paradox by including approaches from social influence. Specifically, we show that neutral people are positioned closer to anti- than to pro-vaccine people in the opinion space, and therefore more persuadable by them. We use dynamic social simulations seeded with vaccine survey data, to show how this effect results in a drift towards anti-vaccine opinions. Linking this analysis to data from two other multi-country datasets, we found that countries in which the pro-vaccine people are less associated to the neutrals (and so less able to influence them) exhibit lower vaccination rates and stronger increase in distrust. We conclude our paper by showing how taking social influence into account in vaccine-related policy-making can possibly reduce waves of distrust towards vaccination.},

Consequenlty, there is significant interest from scholars as well as from the wider publuc to understand how social media affordances interact with human behavior. In attempts to address these demands, the present article borrows from the social identity tradition to explain group formation processes in Web 2.0 and other online ecosystems. We propose that online users creatively and strategically exploit the affordances provided by platforms and technologies to construct and perform collective selfhood. We emphasize the relevance of community development, norm consensualization, and emotional alignment as recursive dynamic processes that – in symbiosis – provide a functional basis for social identities. We outline these proposed mechanisms based on a corpus of interdisciplinary literature and suggest avenues for future research.},

One major difference is that, in the online context, we often have explicit access to others' opinions and these opinions are often the only informational cues available. We investigate if awareness of opinion congruence, in the absence of any other reference categories, may be sufficient to foster social identification. In a pre-registered experiment (N = 681), we manipulated exposure to opinions, and measured levels of ingroup identification, opinion-based identification and their social influence on activism intentions. Our results demonstrate exposure to others' opinions in an otherwise anonymous context fosters ingroup and opinion-based identification. There was no effect on opinion-based group activism intentions. We conclude that computer mediated contexts have consequences for identification – opinion (in)congruence is becoming more relevant as a source of social categorization. While we did not find this identification had a social influence on activism, we discuss avenues for future research to disentangle the features of opinion-based groups necessary to foster activism.},

    abstract = {Opinion dynamics models have an enormous potential for studying current phenomena such as vaccine hesitancy. Unfortunately, to date, most of the models have little to no empirical validation. One major problem in testing these models against real-world data relates to the difficulties in measuring opinions in ways that map directly to representations in models. Indeed, this kind of measurement is complex in nature and presents more types of measurement error than just classical random noise. Thus, it is crucial to know how these different error types may affect the model's predictions. In this work, we analyze this relationship in the Deffuant model. Starting from the psychometrics literature, we first discuss how opinion measurements are affected by three types of errors: random noise, binning, and distortions (i.e. uneven intervals between scale points). While the first two are known to most of the scientific community, the third one is mostly unknown outside psychometrics. Because of that, we highlight the nature and peculiarities of each of these measurement errors. By simulating these types of error, we show that the Deffuant model is robust to binning but not to noise and distortions. Indeed, if a scale has 4 or more points (like most self-report scales), binning has almost no effect on the final predictions. However, prediction error increases almost linearly with random noise, up to a maximum error of 40%. After reaching this value, increasing the amount of noise does not worsen the prediction. Distortions are most problematic, reaching a maximum prediction error of 80%. Up to now most of the research focused on the properties of the models without analyzing the types of data they may be used with. Here we show that when studying a model, we should also analyze its robustness to these types of measurement error.},

    abstract = {Personal social networks reveal potential sources of dyadic social influence. Social influence is picked up as a main principle of Axelrod’s model of cultural dissemination. Even though social influence is performed via social networks, the model is generally just run on a regular lattice instead of more complex network topologies. In this paper, we analyse a concurrent extension to Axelrod’s model for opinion-based groups, and explore the performance of changing the network topology.
    Our objective is to seed the Axelrod model with attitudinal survey data as an empirical data application. In the model, the culture is a set of features which in turn is defined by a set of traits. Respectively, in survey data, the attitudes are captured by items with a fixed set of response options. The direct correspondence of the structure of survey data to the model makes it an ideal candidate. Here, we simulate and analyse the extended Axelrod model to explore its dynamics and outcomes, with the standard Axelrod model results serving as a benchmark. As well as the lattice, which the Axelrod model is usually simulated on, we test other network topologies. The conducted simulations explore the parameter space for the uniformly distributed models, and draw parallels between the results, when applying it to an empirical, attitudinal data set.
    After assessing the level of impact of the network structures, we conclude that there is almost no influence of the underlying network structure on the macro level outcomes. The reason seems to be that the homophily structure among the individuals outweighs the impact of the network topology in the long run simulations. Under the premise, that the number of features is higher than the number of traits and that the system size is limited, the extended Axelrod model can be used to simulate attitudes from a survey — without specifying the underlying network.},

    year = {2020-Preprint},
    abstract = {Opinion dynamics models have been developed to study and predict the evolution of public opinion. Intensive research has been carried out on these models, especially exploring the different rules and topologies, which can be considered two degrees of freedom of these models. In this paper we introduce what can be considered a third degree of freedom. Since it is not possible to directly access someone's opinions without measuring them, we always need to choose a way to transform real world opinions (e.g. being anti-Trump) into numbers. However, the properties of this transformation are usually not discussed in opinion dynamics literature. For example, it would be fundamental to know if this transformation of opinions into numbers should be unique, or if several are possible; and in the latter case, how the choice of the scale would affect the model dynamics. In this article we explore this question by using the knowledge developed in psychometrics. This field has been studying how to transform psychological constructs (such as opinions) into numbers for more than 100 years. We start by introducing this phenomenon by looking at a simple example in opinion dynamics. Then we provide the necessary mathematical background and analyze three opinion dynamics models introduced by Hegselmann and Krause. Finally, we test the models using agent-based simulations both in the case of perfect scales (infinite precision) and in the case of real world scales. Both in the theoretical analysis and in the simulations, we show how the choice of the scale (even in the case of perfect accuracy and precision) can strongly change the model's dynamics. Indeed, by choosing a different scale it is possible to (1) find different numbers of final opinion clusters, (2) change the mean value of the final opinion distribution up to a change of $\pm 100 \%$ and (3) even transform one model into another.},

    abstract = {Internationalization is a key aim of the International Society of Political Psychology (ISPP). This paper uses bibliometric techniques to explore international collaborations in the Society’s core activities, namely the journal Political Psychology and annual meetings. We explore how authors from different regions of the world are interconnected through co-authorship, using country information extracted from authors’ affiliation and coded as WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic) or non-WEIRD. Study 1 analyzed co-authorship in the Society’s journal Political Psychology from 1985-2014 (30 years), with 1151 authors from 42 countries and 1337 co-authorship ties between them. Study 2 mapped the co-authorship relationships for annual meetings for which documentation was available, eventually collecting data from 2006-2014 (eight years). In total, 4,260 authors from 74 countries were represented, with 6,884 collaborative ties. Annual meetings reflected more international collaboration than the journal on several dimensions, including a large internationally connected giant component of collaborating authors evident in annual meetings, but not the journal. In annual meetings, there were more collaborations between WEIRD and non-WEIRD authors. However, even at annual meetings, deep internationalization involving non-WEIRD authors was rare, and the activities of the Society primarily represent academics from WEIRD countries, particularly the USA.},

    abstract = {In Ireland, primary physical education (PE) is delivered by non-specialist classroom teachers. A growing number of primary schools are committing resources to external providers for partial delivery of the PE curriculum. Some researchers (Evans and Davies [2014; 2015]. “Neoliberal Freedoms, Privatisation and the Future of Physical Education.” Sport, Education and Society 20 (1): 10–26. doi:10.1080/13573322.2014.918878; Powell [2015]. “Assembling the Privatisation of Physical Education and the ‘Inexpert’ Teacher.” Sport, Education and Society 20 (1): 73–88. doi:10.1080/13573322.2014.941796) suggest the use of external providers in primary PE represents an increasing privatisation of the public education system. Thus, privatisation of PE raises questions about the future purpose, quality, and content of the subject. The goal of this paper is to identify the most common forms of external provision in support of PE in a small cohort primary schools. Network analysis was used to achieve a graphical representation of primary schools/external provision. Web pages of primary schools yielded data that allowed the creation of a social network analysis of external provision for 67 primary schools selected from the 2015/2016 list of Delivery of Equality of Opportunity in Schools (DEIS) programme. Results highlight that the most common forms of PE external provision in Irish primary schools are Gaelic Games (GAA), swimming, and dance and describe the network relationships between external provision types. Discussion provides possible reasons to justify the external provision trend for primary PE in Ireland.},

In many cases, these differences in behaviour relate to pre-existing group identities. However, in times of rapid societal change, novel opinion-based groups can emerge and provide a new basis for partisan identification and divergent collective behaviour. Here, we use network methods to map the emergence of opposing opinion-based groups and assess their implications for public health behaviour. In a longitudinal study, we tracked public health attitudes and self-reported behaviour in a sample of UK participants over four time points. Network visualisation reveal a rift in attitudinal alignment over time and the genesis of two distinct groups characterised by trust, or distrust, in science (Study 1a; N = 253). These groups also diverge in public health behaviour. In a brief follow-up study (N = 206), we find that this opinion polarization partially reflects underlying societal divides. We discuss implications for opinion-based group research and public health campaigns.},

In the Axelrod model, each agent has a set of features which each holds one of a set of nominally related traits. Survey data has a similar structure, where each participant answers each of a set of items with responses from a fixed list. We present an alternative method of displaying the Axelrod model by representing it as a bipartite graph, i.e., participants and their responses as separate nodes. This allows us to see which feature-trait combinations are selected in the final state. This visualisation is particularly useful when representing survey data as it illustrates the co-evolution of attitudes and opinion-based groups in Axelrod’s model of cultural diffusion. We also present a modification to the Axelrod model. A standard finding of the Axelrod model with many features is for all agents to fully agree in one cluster. We introduce an agreement threshold and allow nodes to interact only with those neighbours who are within this threshold (i.e., those with similar opinions) rather than those with any opinion. This method reliably yields a large number of clusters for small agreement thresholds and, importantly, does not limit to single cluster when the number of features grows large. This potentially provides a method for modelling opinion-based groups where as opinions are added, the number of clusters increase.},

We apply our model to show that ingroup favouritism and reciprocity are present in the experiments, and to quantify the strengthening of these behaviours over time. Our method enables us to identify participants whose behaviour is markedly different from the norm. We use the method to provide a visualisation of the data that highlights the level of ingroup favouritism, the strong reciprocal relationships, and the different behaviour of participants in the game. While our methodology was developed with VIAPPL in mind, its usage extends to any type of social interaction data.},

Survey data were collected from one international (N = 159) and three South African samples (Ns = 86, 100, 161) of women. Results show that although women value patriarchal ideals for masculinity, agentic and communal versions of masculinity are valued differently across contexts. Specifically, traditional agentic versions of masculinity were most valued in the contexts most important to the long-term production of viable identity (family/romance and work). It was only in friendship that non-patriarchal communal masculinity was consistently idealized over traditional agentic masculinity. The results are discussed in relation to hegemonic masculinity (HM) and system justification theory (SJT). Congruent with SJT, women idealized versions of masculinity that may not be in their own or their group's best interests, but in line with HM, the results emphasized the fluidity of masculinity and that the same individual can simultaneously idealize different versions of masculinity depending on the context. Because stereotypes are both explanations for the status quo and warrants for behaving in one way or another, these collective ideals for masculinity and contextual boundaries may be important obstacles to achieving gender equity.},

In both research networks Africans are well positioned globally, but African authors have lower connectivity and status in the HIV/AIDS network than the general network. Links between authors in different African countries are often bridged by non-Africans. This makes the African research networks vulnerable to shifting funding priorities; and international dropout would fragment the HIV/AIDS network more than the general network.

This article is based on the notion that citizens should be informed about what government is or does (transparency) and provided with sufficient opportunities to influence this (public participation). Both of these depend on the provision of reliable information before, during and after policy consultation. The article explores how transparency may be operationalised through access to information and how this is implemented in South Africa through the Promotion of Access to Information Act. It then focuses on policy consultation as a mechanism for government transparency that can only function adequately if the public has access to information concerning both the policy and the consultation process. This case study documents is an attempt to obtain records concerning public consultation on mental health policy from a number of South African government departments. Findings suggest that access to information is variably applied across national and provincial Departments of Health, and that legislation regarding the transparency of policy consultations appears contradictory. Based on these experiences, we reflect on potential tensions between the accountability and transparency functions of access to information and public participation in policy making (vis-à-vis policy consultation), and how these tensions can obstruct public participation. We recommend that guidelines be established regarding systemic procedures for taking and keeping records on public consultations.},

    determines who can be badly treated and by whom. Studying such ordinary
    struggles to define what counts (and does not count) as 'prejudice'

    we report evidence that positive contact with Black residents of
    an informal settlement in Pietermaritzburg was associated with Indian
    residents’ support for political policies and forms of collective
    action that might improve conditions in that settlement. In addition,
    we show that such support was partly mediated by perceptions of collective

    abstract = {BACKGROUND:South Africa is a major hub of HIV prevention trials, with
    plans for a licensure trial to start in 2015. The appropriate standards
    of care and of prevention in HIV vaccine trials are complex and debated
    issues and ethical guidelines offer some direction. However, there
    has been limited empirical exploration of South African stakeholders'
    perspectives on ethical guidance related to prevention and care in
    HIV vaccine trials.METHODS:Site staff, Community Advisory Board members
    and Research Ethics Committee members involved with current HIV vaccine
    trials in South Africa were invited to participate in an exploration
    of their views. A questionnaire listed 10 care and 10 prevention
    recommendations drawn from two widely available sets of ethical guidelines
    for biomedical HIV prevention trials. Respondents (n=98) rated each
    recommendation on five dimensions: "Familiarity with", "Ease of Understanding",
    "Ease of Implementing", "Perceived Protection", and "Agreement with"
    each ethical recommendation. The ratings were used to describe stakeholder
    perspectives on dimensions for each recommendation. Dimension ratings
    were averaged across the five dimensions and used as an indication
    of overall merit for each recommendation. Differences were explored
    across dimensions, between care-oriented and prevention-oriented
    recommendations, and between stakeholder groups.RESULTS:Both care
    and prevention recommendations were rated highly overall, with median
    ratings well above the scale midpoint. In general, informed consent
    recommendations were most positively rated. Care-related recommendations
    were rated significantly more positively than prevention-related
    recommendations, with the five lowest-rated recommendations being
    prevention-related. The most problematic dimension across all recommendations
    was "Ease of Implementing," and the least problematic was "Agreement
    with," suggesting the most pressing stakeholder concerns are practical
    rather than theoretical; that is, respondents agree with but see
    barriers to the attainment of these recommendations.CONCLUSIONS:We
    propose that prevention recommendations be prioritized for refinement,
    especially those assigned bottom-ranking scores for "Ease of Implementing",
    and/ or "Ease of Understanding" in order to assist vaccine stakeholders
    to better comprehend and implement these recommendations. Further
    qualitative research could also assist to better understand nuances
    in stakeholder reservations about implementing such recommendations.},

    The ‘backstage’ talk that is usually reserved for fellow whites

    constructions of Afrikaner identity. While the participants rejected
    many stereotypes of Afrikaner identity, they simultaneously recycled
    key discourses underlying apartheid ideology, particularly discourses
    of black incompetence and whites under threat. Participants generally
    claimed status as "Africans" but strongly resisted assimilation with
    "Africa" or a broader African identity. The article concludes that
    the construction of the Afrikaner community as embattled and systematically

    abstract = {Contact theory holds that increased contact between members of different
    groups can improve intergroup attitudes and reduce prejudice if it
    meets certain quality criteria, such as equal status, common goals,
    and cooperation within the contact situation. It is now emerging
    that even extended contact, or the mere knowledge that an ingroup
    member has a close relationship with an outgroup member, can lead
    to more positive intergroup attitudes. However, in South African
    society optimal contact is uncommon because most social spaces and
    structures are governed by strong norms of microsegregation that
    ensure that genuine optimal contact is uncommon. Given that multiracial
    families exemplify most features of optimal contact while radically
    challenging social norms of segregation, they may be important nodes
    for effective prejudice-reducing contact in South African society.
    This exploratory study investigated the extent to which general contact
    with people of other races, direct contact with multiracial families
    (i.e. personally knowing a member of a multiracial family), and extended
    contact with multiracial families (i.e. knowing someone who knows
    a member of a multiracial family) predicted reduced prejudice, reconciliatory
    race-policy attitudes and reduced intergroup threat. The results
    show that all three forms of contact predicted significantly reduced
    prejudice and that direct contact with multiracial families significantly
    predicted reduced prejudice over and above the effect of general
    interracial contact. Therefore we argue that contact researchers
    should consider more carefully whether normatively supported contact
    or radically norm-violating forms of contact optimally disrupt practices
    of microsegregation. Additionally, we argue that multiracial romantic
    relationships and families deserve increased attention and support
    as important nodes of prejudice reduction in South African society.
    However, general contact was also associated with reduced support
    for race-based social policies which supports the argument that the
    prejudice-reducing effects of interracial contact may be at least
    partially offset by other effects that may hinder broader social
    change.},

    abstract = {Stereotype threat or boost (STB) is a situational modifier of task
    performance that occurs when a group stereotype becomes relevant
    to the performance of a stereotype relevant task. This dissertation
    aimed to re-imagine STB in light of social identity theory. Ten studies
    were undertaken that each manipulated status and either identifiability,
    conflict or permeability and explored the effects on the performance
    of the Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices. Additional identity
    and socio-structural constructs were also measured and explored,
    including stability, legitimacy and ingroup identification. The results
    showed that STB is not simply “activated” or “deactivated” when stereotypes
    become relevant to task performance. On the contrary, the specific
    features of identity, the contextual features of the social environment
    in which the identity performance takes place, and the performer’s
    strategic engagement with their identity resources and liabilities
    are important features of how STB impacts on performance, and how
    it is sometimes resisted and overturned by experimental subjects.
    Indeed, performance was generally not predictable on the basis of
    stereotype activation until resistance to the negative or positive
    status manipulations were also accounted for. Although the STB literature
    is tightly focused on the case of negative stereotypes undermining
    performance, incongruent effects in which negative stereotypes enhance
    performance and positive stereotypes undermine it have also been
    reported. In the present studies incongruent STB effects were frequently
    observed. Underperformance in boost conditions was most consistently
    predicted by perceived intergroup conflict, while enhanced performance
    under threat was consistently predicted by perceived group boundary
    permeability. Additionally, underperformance in boost conditions
    was often a result of ‘slipstreaming’ rather than ‘choking under
    pressure,’ since participants were evidently counting on their generally
    secure identity in the experimental context to buffer poor performance
    on the experimental task. Improved performance in threat conditions
    was most likely when participants perceived themselves to be representatives
    of their group and when they believed that their improved performance
    would make a difference for their own reputation or the reputation
    of their group. These findings challenge the common image of the
    passive subject in the STB literature and, instead, suggest that
    STB effects are an outcome of situated identity performance. This
    model of STB effects understands task-performance in a specific performance
    context as an active and strategic expression of situated identity
    oriented not only to the social features of the performance context
    (as argued by most SIT theorists), but also to the their own reading
    of that context, their total identity liabilities and resources (including
    individual ability and alternative identities) and their strategic
    motivations in the context.},

    respondents in this study had the opportunity to spontaneously identify
    the issues that they perceived to be of priority concern in the South

    as ethical priorities: informed consent, social harms, collaborative
    relationships between research stakeholders, the participation of
    children and adolescents, access to treatment for participants who
    become infected with HIV, physical harms, fair participant and community
    selection, confidentiality, benefits, and payment. While there is
    some speculation that research in developing countries poses special
    ethical challenges, overall no issues were identified that have not
    been anticipated in international guidance, literature and popular
    frameworks. However, the South African context affords a distinctive
    gloss to these expected issues; for example, respondents were concerned
    that the predominant selection of black participants may perpetuate
    racist practices of apartheid. Stakeholders should be aware of contextual
    factors impacting on the implementation of ethical principles. We

    abstract = {Masculinity is often studied as produced and enacted by men, unintentionally
    positioning women as mere consumers of masculinity, rather than active
    agents in its construction. This study explored five young South
    African women’s constructions of masculinity in the contexts of
    work, friendships, family, and romantic relationships and the contextual
    variation of acceptable masculinity across contexts. While they advocated
    nonhegemonic ‘‘nice guy’’ masculinities in social and work
    contexts, they appealed strongly to ‘‘hegemonic’’ or traditional
    masculine ideals in romantic and family contexts. It seems that these
    women were particularly willing to accept subjugation to engage in
    ideals of romantic partnership congruent with emphasized femininity.
    This study demonstrates that (1) contextual variation is a very important
    feature in the production of hegemonic masculinity and (2) analyzing
    masculinity from women’s perspectives may provide valuable insight
    into the contribution that women make to the construction and maintenance
    of counterfeminist masculine ideals and identity frameworks.},

    discrimination (such as affirmative action) are hotly contested.
    Factors which have been proposed to explain opposition to these policies
    include racial prejudice, group threat and self-interest, and perceptions
    of intergroup justice. We report the results of two random national
    telephone surveys which tested a theoretically based model of the
    predictors of policy support in post-apartheid South Africa. The
    results provided limited support for Blumer's group position model.
    Compensatory and preferential treatment policies had different underlying
    predictors: Violated entitlement featured in the models of compensatory
    policy attitudes, but not preferential treatment policy attitudes,
    where threat was the strongest predictor. In addition to threat and
    violated entitlement, policy attitudes among the black sample were
    related to ingroup identification but those of the white sample were
    related to prejudice. The effects of these variables were in the
    opposite directions for the two samples: Policy support was associated
    with strong ingroup identification and high levels of threat among
    the black sample (i.e. prospective beneficiaries of the transformation
    policies), but with low levels of prejudice and threat among the
    white sample. We conclude by considering the implications that these
    findings have for social change programs. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley

    Universities in South Africa face the challenge of redressing past (and continuing) inequalities in higher education by increasing accessibility to previously (and currently) disadvantaged students. One means of doing so is through 'access' or 'bridging' programmes. This article explores successful students' perceptions of one such programme at the University of KwaZulu- Natal by means of qualitative focus group interviews. This retrospective evaluation of the programme explores students' perspectives on the extent to which the Access Programme (AP) has 'bridged the gap' between secondary and tertiary education as well as any potential negative outcomes generated by the programme, e.g. perceptions of stigma. Results indicate that (1) interviewed students generally perceived the programme as beneficial and legitimate in preparing them for their degree studies, (2) the racial homogeneity and the isolation of AP students from mainstream students have resulted in some negative outcomes such as perceptions of stigmatisation and inferiority and (3) students enrolled in the programme and the programme management may have quite different perceptions of the nature of the 'articulation gap' that the programme aims to address.

    of understanding for potential participants being prepared for enrollment
    in South African HIV vaccine trials, using detailed operational scoring
    criteria. Methods: Assessment of understanding of 7 key trial components
    was compared via self-report, checklist, vignettes, and narrative
    measures. Fifty-nine participants, including members of vaccine preparedness
    groups and 1 HIV vaccine trial, took part. Results: There were significant
    differences across the measures for understanding of 5 components
    and for overall understanding. Highest scores were obtained on self-report
    and checklist measures, and lowest scores were obtained for vignettes
    and narrative descriptions. Conclusions: The findings suggest that
    levels of measured understanding are dependent on the tools used.
    Forced-choice measures like checklists tend to yield higher scores
    than open-ended measures like narratives or vignettes. Consideration
    should be given to complementing checklists and self-reports with
    open-ended measures, particularly for critical trial concepts, where
    the consequences of misunderstanding are potentially severe.},

    evident. Failure was defined from users' perspectives, in relation
    to what they were trying to achieve, rather than according to technical
    parameters. Secondly, negotiations of failure had social consequences
    for both users and help-desk consultants. Both avoided being seen
    as incompetent and actively defended their social standing. Thirdly,
    such social issues sometimes took precedence over technical and practical
    ones. The implications for HCI theorists and practitioners are twofold:
    firstly, failure should be accepted as a regular part of computer
    use in which human-computer interaction continues even though the
    interface may be non-functional. Secondly, the management of failure
    could be better addressed if technicians were trained in social as
    well as technical intervention skills.},
