How Long Can Cultural Events Elevate Group Identity Salience? The Mediating Role of Affective Adaptation (2017)
Journal Article

Building upon the model of affective adaptation, we propose that th... Read More about How Long Can Cultural Events Elevate Group Identity Salience? The Mediating Role of Affective Adaptation.

Understanding the trait basis of career adaptability: A two-wave mediation analysis among Chinese university students (2017)

To investigate the mechanisms through which the basic traits (big-five personality and approach/avoidance traits) predict career adaptability, and develop a more systematic view of the components of career adaptivity, we conducted a two-wave survey s...

In extant research, scholars have treated proactive career behavior (e.g., career exploration) primarily as a consequence of future work self. Yet, emerging evidence provides support for a relationship in the opposite direction, suggesting that caree...

Conservatives are more reluctant to give and receive apologies than liberals (2017)
Journal Article
Hornsey, M., Schumann, K., Bain, P., Blumen, S., Chen, S., Gómez, A., …Wohl, M. (2017). Conservatives are more reluctant to give and receive apologies than liberals. Social Psychological and Personality Science, 8(7), 827-835. https://doi.org/10.1177/1948550617691096
