Gender disparities in middle authorship

Women increasingly occupy jobs in psychological research, but continue to face career barriers. One such barrier is fewer authorship and publication opportunities, with women often having fewer first authorships than men. In this research, we examine the overlooked role of middle authorship. Middle authorship contributes to various indices of productivity, while having lower costs. Study 1 looks at five years of authorship in two major journals in social and personality psychology. Study 2 examines publication records of all social psychology faculty in the Netherlands. Both studies find that women have fewer authorship possibilities: In Study 1, women were underrepresented as authors in academic journals, while women in Study 2 had shorter publication lists. More importantly, this tendency was exacerbated for middle authorship positions. Furthermore, the percentage of middle authorship publications were positively related to more publications overall. A focus on middle authorship highlights previously underestimated challenges women continue to face in psychological research.

У статті відображено результати дослідження психолінгвальних маркерів ранніх дисфункційних схем у вчителів. Дослідження представлене у вигляді багатопланового дослідження із залученням регресійного аналізу, де ранні дисфункційні схеми, психологічне благополуччя, задоволення шлюбом слугують незалежними змінними, а трудоголізм – залежною змінною. Після отримання дозволу від Ради з етики наукових досліджень Східноєвропейського національного університету імені Лесі Українки 53 учителі загальноосвітніх шкіл Волинської області (Україна) взяли участь у дослідженні трудоголізму, серед них 50 жінок, 3 чоловіків, середній вік 46,47 (SD=10,17), стаж роботи 24,06 (SD=10,97). Опитувальник Янга YSQ – S3, шкала трудоголізму (Shkoler et al., 2018), шкала задоволеності шлюбом (Столін, Романова, Бутенко), шкала задоволення щоденною працею (Loi et al., 2009), шкала психологічного благополуччя (Ryff & Keyes, 1995) використовувалися для дослідження трудоголізму та його предикторів у вчителів. Результати засвідчили, що ранні дисфункційні схеми, психологічне благополуччя, задоволеність шлюбом сукупно слугують предикторами трудоголізму у вчителів. Водночас лише ранні дисфункційні схеми є незалежними значущими предикторами трудоголізму. Визначено психолінгвальні маркери ранніх дисфункційних схем, пов’язаних із трудоголізмом. Високорозвинений трудоголізм у вчителів пов’язаний із очікуванням на катастрофу, страхом покарання і негативізмом, уявленням про власну некомпетентність і невдачу, пошуком визнання й високих стандартів. Важливим прикладним висновком дослідження є можливість використання психолінгвістичних маркерів для визначення ранніх дисфункційних схем, пов’язаних із трудоголізмом у вчителів.

Behavior And Cognition

Emotions are important to personality and social psychology and their relationship. This chapter poses five questions about emotion, contrasting traditional views with recent and emerging perspectives from social–personality psychology. It reaches five conclusions about the nature and origin of emotion and its role in perception, behavior, and cognition: (1) The components of emotion are not sufficiently correlated to implicate underlying affective programs. (2) An iterative reprocessing view of emotion elicitation can accommodate both subcortical, unconscious affect and cognitively rich, conscious emotion. (3) Emotional influences on perception implicate the role of emotion as information about resources. (4) Rather than triggering behavior directly, emotional experience appears to serve a self-teaching function. (5) Positive and negative emotions affect thinking styles by promoting or inhibiting the cognitive orientations that are dominant in particular situations. The chapter is thus both historical and modern, emphasizing new developments and their implications for social–personality psychology.

Human Animal

People deeply value their social bonds with companion animals, yet routinely devalue other animals, considering them mere commodities to satisfy human interests and desires. Despite the inherently social and intergroup nature of these complexities, social psychology is long overdue in integrating human-animal relations in its theoretical frameworks. The present body of work brings together social psychological research advancing our understanding of: 1) the factors shaping our perceptions and thinking about animals as social groups, 2) the complexities involved in valuing (caring) and devaluing (exploiting) animals, and 3) the implications and importance of human-animal relations for human intergroup relations. In this article, we survey the diversity of research paradigms and theoretical frameworks developed within the intergroup relations literature that are relevant, perchance critical, to the study of human-animal relations. Furthermore, we highlight how understanding and rethinking human-animal relations will eventually lead to a more comprehensive understanding of many human intergroup phenomena.

Level Of Analysis

This chapter introduces the volume and gives a brief overview of its structure and the content of each chapter. The chapter describes the nature of social psychological research on collective victimhood to date, defines the concept, and provides an organizing framework for scholarship on collective victimhood. This framework emphasizes the interplay of structural and individual-level factors that need to be considered, as well as how the social psychology of collective victimhood is studied at the micro-, meso-, and macro level of analysis. In order to avoid a determinist and simplistic view of collective victimhood, it is crucial to consider the different ways in which people actively construe and make sense of collective victimization of their group(s). It is also important to consider the role of power, history, and other structural factors that together shape the diversity of experiences of collective victimization as well as the consequences of collective victimhood.

Research Domains

The potential role of brief online studies in changing the types of research and theories likely to evolve is examined in the context of earlier changes in theory and methods in social and personality psychology, changes that favored low-difficulty, high-volume studies. An evolutionary metaphor suggests that the current publication environment of social and personality psychology is a highly competitive one, and that academic survival and reproduction processes (getting a job, tenure/promotion, grants, awards, good graduate students) can result in the extinction of important research domains. Tracking the prevalence of brief online studies, exemplified by studies using Amazon Mechanical Turk, in three top journals ( Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology) reveals a dramatic increase in their frequency and proportion. Implications, suggestions, and questions concerning this trend for the field and questions for its practitioners are discussed.

The Human Condition

In a sense, theologies are psychologies. They discuss the human condition, largely in terms of motivation and cognition, and suggest ways of organizing our thinking about human aspirations and goals. These considerations are nowhere more evident than in contemporary process, liberation, and feminist theologies. This article shows parallels among these perspectives relative to modern psychological research and theory, primarily in social psychology and more particularly relative to social cognition theory. The importance of the role of the self and needs for meaning, control, and self-esteem are stressed, indicating that theology can serve as psychological theory and that both psychology and theology might benefit from increased interaction between the disciplines.

The Ideal

In this paper, arguments are presented for considering the subject as co‐investigator in personality research. A review of current research methods suggests that personality psychology is well on its way to recognizing the individual as an expert on his or her own self and situation. This means that the subject should also be allowed to take a much more active role in psychological research. It is argued that the ideal methodology for accomplishing this integration of the individual into psychological research is to establish a dialogue between psychologist and subject, allowing each to contribute to the scientific process from his or her own perspective and on the basis of his or her own expertise. The present approach calls for greater emphasis on the organization and coherence of personality as a system, greater openness and sensitivity to the particular world of the individual, and an even more dynamic conception of individuality than is currently found in our field. An important implication of the open system approach advocated in this article, the reduced role of prediction in personality research, is discussed and, finally, a preliminary list of expected gains and losses is presented.

Underlying Mechanisms

Over the last decade, implicit measures of mental associations (e.g., Implicit Association Test, sequential priming) have become increasingly popular in many areas of psychological research. Even though successful applications provide preliminary support for the validity of these measures, their underlying mechanisms are still controversial. The present article addresses the role of a particular mechanism that is hypothesized to mediate the influence of activated associations on task performance in many implicit measures: response interference (RI). Based on a review of relevant evidence, we argue that RI effects in implicit measures depend on participants attention to association-relevant stimulus features, which in turn can influence the reliability and the construct validity of these measures. Drawing on a moderated-mediation model (MMM) of task performance in RI paradigms, we provide several suggestions on how to address these problems in research using implicit measures.
