The Effects of Self-Image Threat on the Judgment of Out-Group Targets

Arnd Florack; Martin Scarabis; Stefanie Gosejohann

The authors argue that individuals may restore their self-esteem by derogating a member of an out-group, but only if they identify with the in-group and hold negative attitudes towards the out-group. In two experiments, the self-image of participants was either enhanced or threatened. Afterwards, participants evaluated an out-group target. The results provided broad support for the assumption that intergroup attitudes and in-group identification moderate the impact of self-image threat on the judgment of an out-group member. Self-image threat led to a more negative evaluation only in participants with negative out-group attitudes. It resulted in a more positive evaluation when participants held positive out-group attitudes and identified less with the in-group.

Der Einfluß wahrgenommener Bedrohung auf die Nutzung automatischer Assoziationen bei der Personenbeurteilung.

Arnd Florack; Martin Scarabis; Herbert Bless

Zusammenfassung: Bisher fanden sich bei der Untersuchung von Vorurteilen gegenuber ethnischen Minoritaten haufig nur geringe Korrelationen zwischen impliziten Einstellungsmasen und expliziten sozialen Urteilen. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird argumentiert, das das Ausbleiben von Zusammenhangen unter anderem dadurch begrundet ist, das automatisch aktivierte Assoziationen nur unter bestimmten Bedingungen bei der Konstruktion eines Urteils herangezogen werden. In einer Untersuchung zu Vorurteilen gegenuber Turken in Deutschland wurde die Annahme gepruft, ob Personen bei der Beurteilung eines turkischen Jugendlichen in starkerem Mase auf automatische Assoziationen zuruckgreifen, wenn bedrohliche Aspekte einer Fremdgruppe salient sind, nicht aber, wenn bereichernde Aspekte salient sind. Zur Erfassung automatischer Assoziationen wurde der “Implicit Association Test” (IAT) von Greenwald, McGhee & Schwartz (1998) eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse stutzen die Annahme uber eine moderierende Funktion der wahrgenommenen Bedrohung.

Reaching for the (Product) Stars: Measuring Recognition and Approach Speed to Get Insights Into Consumer Choice

Oliver Genschow; Arnd Florack; Vikram S. Chib; Shinsuke Shimojo; Martin Scarabis; Michaela Wänke

In three studies, an easy-to-apply response time task that differentiates between recognition and approach speed was applied. The results indicate that individuals recognized and approached positive stimuli faster than negative stimuli (Pilot Study). But, when the choice options differed less in valence, approach movement time was a better predictor of consumer choice and willingness to pay than recognition time (Study 1) and a better predictor of consumer choice than self-reports when the choice was made with an affective compared to a cognitive focus (Study 2). Moreover, approach movement time, but not recognition time correlated with other implicit measures.

Der Zuschnitt von Werbung auf die Zielgruppe älterer Menschen

Rahel Bieri; Arnd Florack; Martin Scarabis

Zusammenfassung. Das okonomische Gewicht der alteren Bevolkerung wird zunehmend auch von Marketingexperten erkannt. Dennoch werden die grundlegenden Charakteristika dieser Konsumentengruppe bisher selten bei der Gestaltung von Werbung beachtet. In diesem Artikel geben wir eine Ubersicht uber die wichtigsten Forschungsergebnisse zur Rezeption von Werbung durch altere Konsument/inn/en. Wir zeigen auf, dass Altere im Vergleich zu Jungeren bedeutende Unterschiede bei der Wahrnehmung und Verarbeitung von Werbung und insbesondere bei der spateren Erinnerung von Werbebotschaften aufweisen. Diese Unterschiede haben grundlegende Implikationen fur die Gestaltung von Werbemasnahmen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine adaquate, faire und effektive Ansprache alterer Konsument/inn/en.

How the Motivation to Make Fair Judgments Influences Memory for In-and Out-Group Behavior

Martin Scarabis; Arnd Florack

In the present study, we investigated the subtle effect of instructing participants to make fair judgments by avoiding the influence of stereotypes on their judgments. Previous studies have shown that instructing participants to disregard a stereotype may lead to enhanced accessibility of that stereotype, which in turn facilitates the encoding and identification of stereotype-consistent information, but not of stereotype-irrelevant information. Extending this research, we examined the effect of giving fairness instructions on the encoding of stereotype-inconsistent and stereotype-consistent information: Participants who were instructed to avoid stereotypic judgments showed enhanced memory for stereotype-consistent as well as for stereotype-inconsistent information. Thus, instructing participants to make fair judgments had the undesired effect of enhancing memory for stereotype-consistent information, but also the desired effect of enhancing memory for stereotype-inconsistent information.
