(2015): Hostile sexism (de)motivates women's social competition intentions. The contradictory role of emotions. In: The British journal of social psychology 54 (3), S. 483-499. DOI: 10.1111/bjso.12100
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12100 Abstract: In the present research, we examine the ways in which exposure to hostile sexism influences women's competitive collective action intentions. Prior to testing our main model, our first study experimentally induced high versus low levels of security-comfort with the aim of providing experimental evidence for the proposed causal link between these emotions and intentions to engage in social competition. Results showed that lower levels of security-comfort reduced women's readiness to compete socially with men. Experiment 2 investigated the effect of hostile sexism on women's emotional reactions and readiness to engage in social competition. Consistent with the proposed model, results showed that exposure to hostile beliefs about women (1) increased anger-frustration and (2) decreased security-comfort. More specifically, exposure to hostile sexism had a positive indirect effect on social competition intentions through anger-frustration, and a negative indirect effect through security-comfort.

(2012): Emotion and the construal of social situations. Inferences of cooperation versus competition from expressions of anger, happiness, and disappointment. In: Cognition & emotion 26 (3), S. 442-461. DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2011.648174
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2011.648174 Abstract: The notion that emotional expressions regulate social life by providing information is gaining popularity. Prior research on the effects of emotional expressions on observers' inferential processes has focused mostly on inferences regarding the personality traits of the expresser, such as dominance and affiliation. We extend this line of research by exploring the possibility that emotional expressions shape observers' construal of social situations. Across three vignette studies, an interaction partner's expressions of anger, compared to expressions of happiness or disappointment, led observers to construe hypothetical situations as less cooperative, both in dyads and groups. These effects occurred even when factual information regarding the cooperativeness or competitiveness of the situation was provided, attesting to the power of emotional expressions in shaping the construal of social situations. Results are discussed in relation to appraisal theory, reverse appraisals, emotions as social information theory, and the emergence of cooperation in groups and cultures. ztiert von 58

(1993): Raumlicher Abstand in dyadischen Interaktionen. In: Gruppendynamik 24 (1), S. 5-21
Abstract: Tests assumptions of the personal space concept in two studies. The first study, with 30 subjects aged 19-44, revealed that the physical distance between two people is more a transient, rapidly shifting phenomenon that depends heavily on the type and quality of interaction, contrary to assumptions of the personal space model. A model of interpersonal space is thus considered more appropriate. In the second study, with 66 subjects, the distance between two persons was measured repeatedly during either a cooperation or a competition condition. Smaller distances were chosen in the cooperation condition, and distances decreased even further over time. The results are interpreted as confirmation that distance in dyadic interactions is a complex phenomenon in which the type of interaction and the passage of time are both relevant. Zur Prufung von Annahmen des Personal-Space-Konzeptes wurden zwei Untersuchungen durchgefuhrt. Die erste Studie, an der 30 Personen zwischen 19 und 44 Jahren teilnahmen, zeigte im Gegensatz zu den Annahmen des Personal-Space-Modells, dass raumliche Distanz bei Menschen eher ein fluchtiges, schnell veranderbares Phanomen ist, das stark von der Art und Qualitat der Interaktion zwischen zwei Menschen gepragt ist. Daher wird die Modellvorstellung eines "interpersonal space" als angemessener betrachtet. In der zweiten Untersuchung mit 66 Probanden wurde die Distanz zwischen zwei Personen mehrmals wahrend einer Kooperations- oder Wettbewerbsbedingung gemessen. Es zeigte sich, dass in der Kooperationsbedingung die Abstande kleiner gewahlt wurden und dass sie sich im Verlauf der Zeit noch weiter verringerten. Die Ergebnisse werden als Bestatigung dafur gewertet, dass der raumliche Abstand in dyadischen Interaktionen ein komplexes Phanomen ist, bei dem neben der Art der Interaktion auch der Zeitverlauf relevant ist.
