(2017): Doing Psychology With a Cultural Lens: A Half-Century Journey. In: Perspectives on psychological science : a journal of the Association for Psychological Science 12 (5), S. 824-832. DOI: 10.1177/1745691617700932
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28972853 Abstract: My first international publication started out with the following sentences: "Some findings of social psychology may refer to general panhuman relationships, others to relationships that hold only within specific socio-cultural settings. Only systematic cross-cultural comparison can separate these or identify the limits within which particular generalizations hold" (Kagitcibasi, 1970, p. 444). These words still reflect my orientation to psychology and have shaped my work over half a century.

(2017): Altruistic behavior in cohesive social groups. The role of target identifiability. In: PLoS one 12 (11). DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0187903
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29161282 Abstract: People's tendency to be more generous toward identifiable victims than toward unidentifiable or statistical victims is known as the Identifiable Victim Effect. Recent research has called the generality of this effect into question, showing that in cross-national contexts, identifiability mostly affects willingness to help victims of one's own "in-group." Furthermore, in inter-group conflict situations, identifiability increased generosity toward a member of the adversary group, but decreased generosity toward a member of one's own group. In the present research we examine the role of group-cohesiveness as an underlying factor accounting for these divergent findings. In particular, we examined novel groups generated in the lab, using the minimal group paradigm, as well as natural groups of students in regular exercise sections. Allocation decisions in dictator games revealed that a group's cohesiveness affects generosity toward in-group and out-group recipients differently, depending on their identifiability. In particular, in cohesive groups the identification of an in-group recipient decreased, rather than increased generosity.

(2017): Habit in Personality and Social Psychology. In: Personality and social psychology review : an official journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Inc 21 (4), S. 389-403. DOI: 10.1177/1088868317720362
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28737111 Abstract: Habits are largely absent from modern social and personality psychology. This is due to outdated perspectives that placed habits in conflict with goals. In modern theorizing, habits are represented in memory as implicit context-response associations, and they guide responding in conjunction with goals. Habits thus have important implications for our field. Emerging research shows that habits are an important mechanism by which people self-regulate and achieve long-term goals. Also, habits change through specific interventions, such as changes in context cues. I speculate that understanding of habits also holds promise for reducing intergroup discrimination and for understanding lay theories of the causes for action. In short, by recognizing habit, the field gains understanding of a central mechanism by which actions persist in daily life. zitiert von 6

(2008): Punishing hubris: The perils of overestimating one's status in a group. In: Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin 34 (1), S. 90-101. DOI: 10.1177/0146167207307489
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18162658 Abstract: Individuals engage in status self-enhancement when they form an overly positive perception of their status in a group. We argue that status self-enhancement incurs social costs and, therefore, most individuals perceive their status accurately. In contrast, theories of positive illusions suggest status self-enhancement is beneficial for the individual and that most individuals overestimate their status. We found supportive evidence for our hypotheses in a social relations analysis of laboratory groups, an experiment that manipulated status self-enhancement, and a study of real-world groups. Individuals who engaged in status self-enhancement were liked less by others and paid less for their work. Moreover, individuals tended to perceive their status highly accurately. Mediation analyses showed that status self-enhancers were socially punished because they were seen as disruptive to group processes.

(1997): Resolving social conflicts. &, Field theory in social science. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. Online verfügbar unter http://search.ebscohost.com/direct.asp?db=pzh&jid=%22199797489%22&scope=site
Abstract: Because of the pervasiveness of K. Lewin's intellectual contributions to contemporary social psychology, [2 volumes of his collected writings, "Resolving Social Conflicts," and "Field Theory in Social Science," are being reissued in this] one comprehensive volume. The reissuing as a single volume is being done in part because, as D. Cartwright wrote in his Preface, both volumes are integrally related parts of Lewin's work. In "Resolving Social Conflicts," Lewin's writings reflect the applied psychologist--his practical interests in the nature and causes of social conflicts and his search for techniques in preventing and resolving them. In "Field Theory in Social Science," his concerns are those of the social scientist and the conceptual and methodological tools for understanding the individual and society.
