(2017): Norms in the wild. How to diagnose, measure, and change social norms. New York, NY: Oxford University Press
Abstract: 'Norms in the Wild' takes a look at social norms, answering questions about diagnosis (how can we tell that a shared practice is a social norm?), measurement (how do we measure expectations and preferences?), and change (which tools can we adopt to effect norm change?). The theories developed in the work are brought to life by examining real-life cases of norm creation and abandonment, the rationale behind policy interventions, and how change can be spearheaded by various types of trendsetters, be they individuals, groups, or the media

(2016) : Das Bedürfnis nach Kontrolle als soziale Motivation In: Bierhoff, Hans-Werner; Frey, Dieter (Hg.): Soziale Motive und soziale Einstellungen: 1. Auflage: Göttingen: Hogrefe (Enzyklopädie der Psychologie. Themenbereich C, Theorie und Forschung. Serie VI, Sozialpsychologie), S. 53-86
Abstract: Ein Überblick über die Forschung zu den Bedingungen und Auswirkungen von Kontrolle und deren motivationalen Grundlagen wird gegeben. Zunächst wird geklärt, was (Sozial-)Psychologinnen und (Sozial-)Psychologen von Kontrolle sprechen. Dann wird die Frage diskutiert, ob es sich beim Streben nach Kontrolle um ein menschliches Grundmotiv handelt. Die Auswirkungen wahrgenommener Kontrolle auf menschliches Denken, Fühlen und Handeln werden besprochen, und es wird erörtert, wie Menschen mit wahrgenommenem Kontrollmangel umgehen (etwa soziale Verteidigungsreaktionen wie gruppenbasierte oder kompensatorische Kontrolle). Abschließend wird - über den Rahmen klassischer Theorien und Befunde hinausgehend - gezeigt, dass Kontrollprozesse in ganz unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Sozialpsychologie von Bedeutung sind. Insbesondere geht es hierbei um die Transaktionen zwischen Individuen und ihrer physikalischen sowie ihrer sozialen Umwelt, wobei letztere an sich durch Kontrollbeziehungen (soziale Macht) gekennzeichnet ist und gleichzeitig die Grundlage für soziale Koordination und Kooperation und somit Prozesse kollektiver Kontrolle ("collective action") bildet.

(2016): Doing emotions. The role of culture in everyday emotions. In: European Review of Social Psychology 28 (1), S. 95-133. DOI: 10.1080/10463283.2017.1329107
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/10463283.2017.1329107 Abstract: Emotional experience is culturally constructed. In this review, we discuss evidence that cultural differences in emotions are purposeful, helping an individual to meet the mandate of being a good person in their culture. We also discuss research showing that individual’s fit to the cultural emotion norm is associated with well-being, and suggest that this link may be explained by the fact that normative emotions meet the cultural mandate. Finally, we discuss research that sheds light on some of the collective processes of emotion construction: social interactions and emotion representations are geared towards promoting emotions that are conducive to the cultural mandate. In conclusion, we suggest that individuals become part of their culture by 'doing emotions' in a way that is consistent with the cultural mandate, and that in intercultural interactions, emotions can be literally 'at cross purposes': each person’s emotions are constructed to fit the purposes of their own cult ure.

(2016): Barriers to women engaging in collective action to overcome sexism. In: The American psychologist 71 (9), S. 863-874. DOI: 10.1037/a0040345
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28032778 Abstract: Over centuries women have fought hard to obtain increasing gender equality, but despite these successes absolute equality remains an elusive goal. Theoretically, women's numerical strength makes them well-placed to take effective collective action, and millions of women engage in feminist collective action every day. In this article, however, we argue that women also face barriers to engaging in feminist collective action; barriers that are associated with the social construction and experience of what it means to be a woman. Our review synthesizes sexism research under a contemporary collective action framework to clarify our current understanding of the literature and to offer novel theoretical explanations for why women might be discouraged from engaging in feminist collective action. Using the antecedents of collective action identified by van Zomeren, Postmes, and Spears' (2008) meta-analysis, we critically review the sexism literature to argue that women face challenges when it comes to (a) identifying with other women and feminists, (b) perceiving sexism and expressing group-based anger, and (c) recognizing the efficacy of collective action. We then outline a research agenda with a view to investigating ways of overcoming these barriers. (PsycINFO Database Record

(2015) : Group Processes, Social Psychology of In: Wright, James D.: International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences (Second Edition): Oxford: Elsevier, S. 422-427
Abstract: Groups lie at the core of the human experience. Group processes encompass such a wide range of phenomena that the social psychological study of group processes has many different focuses. The study of group processes, in general, concerns the cognitive and social causes and consequences of human aggregation. This article provides a history and review of group processes research including information on group formation, group performance, and group decision making; of how people are socialized into groups and roles within groups; and of how groups influence their members through persuasion, leadership, and norms.

(2009): Doing gender differently-The interplay of strength of gender identification and content of gender identity in predicting women's endorsement of sexist beliefs. In: European Journal of Social Psychology 39 (4), S. 487-508. DOI: 10.1002/ejsp.551
Abstract: Investigated reasons for women's endorsement of sexist beliefs using the gender identity model (GIM) based on social-identity theory and social-role theory. The strength of gender identity (high identification vs low identification) and content of gender identity (progressive vs traditional gender role), combined with the engagement in collective action to improve conditions for women, are expected to predict the individual endorsement of 3 sexist beliefs: benevolent sexism, hostile sexism, and modern sexism. In Study 1, 250 women (aged 20-65 years) completed a gender role preference scale, a gender identification scale, a sexism scale, and a collective-action scale to assess the assumptions of the GIM. Results showed that strength of gender identity and identity content were significantly associated with the endorsement of sexist beliefs. Highly identified women with traditional identity contents endorsed all forms of sexist beliefs more strongly than highly identified women with progressive identity content. In contrast, low gender identity was related to lower endorsement of sexist beliefs. In Study 2 (222 women aged 16-66 years) and Study 3 (106 women aged 16-61 years) an online experiment was conducted which additionally manipulated the gender role of the participants to measure its impact on sexist attitudes. Results revealed that highly identified women primed to a progressive gender role expressed stronger rejection of sexism, whereas highly identified women primed to a traditional role expressed stronger endorsement of sexism, substantiating the assumptions of the GIM. The proposed GIM is concluded to explain that gender identification and content of identity strongly affect the endorsement of sexist beliefs among women. zitiert von 72

(1998): Test of the emergent norm theory of collective behavior. In: Sociological Forum 13 (2), S. 301-320. DOI: 10.1023/A:1022145900928
Abstract: Objective: The paper uses the timing of evacuation behavior of occupants of the World Trade Center at the time of the explosion of February 26, 1993, to test predictions from Emergent Norm Theory. Method: Tf uses ordinary least square multiple regression analysis to examine data from a survey done in the first week in May 1993 of 415 people who worked at the World Trade Center. Results: The theory's predictions regarding the additive effects of size of group and preexisting social relationships on the timing of evacuation are supported. However the findings document important and unexpected interaction effects of these two variables on the effects of perceived threat, resources, and cooperativeness on the timing of evacuation. Conclusion: The results augment the theory by showing the continued importance of enduring social relationships as determinants of collective behavior: Enduring social relationships are not only useful to differentiate collective behavior from institutionalized behavior but also specify the dynamics attending the occurrence of collective behavior.
