Different emotional reactions to different groups: a sociofunctional threat-based approach to "prejudice".
TL;DR: The authors suggest that the traditional conception of prejudice--as a general attitude or evaluation--can problematically obscure the rich texturing of emotions that people feel toward different groups.

Abstract: The authors suggest that the traditional conception of prejudice--as a general attitude or evaluation--can problematically obscure the rich texturing of emotions that people feel toward different groups. Derived from a sociofunctional approach, the authors predicted that groups believed to pose qualitatively distinct threats to in-group resources or processes would evoke qualitatively distinct and functionally relevant emotional reactions. Participants' reactions to a range of social groups provided a data set unique in the scope of emotional reactions and threat beliefs explored. As predicted, different groups elicited different profiles of emotion and threat reactions, and this diversity was often masked by general measures of prejudice and threat. Moreover, threat and emotion profiles were associated with one another in the manner predicted: Specific classes of threat were linked to specific, functionally relevant emotions, and groups similar in the threat profiles they elicited were also similar in the emotion profiles they elicited.

Economic Inequality Reduces Preferences for Competent Leaders.
TL;DR: Economic inequality reduces preferences for competent leaders, regardless of voter social status. High inequality leads to decreased preferences for competent leaders and heightened perceptions of politician indifference.
When do interprofessional teams succeed? Investigating the moderating roles of team and professional identity in interprofessional effectiveness
Abstract: This study investigates the role of professional identity threat and team identity as moderators of the relationship between diverse composition and the performance of interprofessional teams. Survey data from 47 interprofessional teams in a tertiary referral hospital in New South Wales, Australia demonstrates the value of social identity in understanding the performance of such teams. The first finding, that team identity moderates the relationship between diversity and team effectiveness, indicates that commitment and attraction to their team enhances members’ ability to work together cooperatively. The second finding, that threat to professional identity plays a deleterious role by moderating an inverse relationship between diversity and effectiveness, suggests that professional dissent may increase the negative effects of diversity. Finally, support for the role of interprofessional motivation in strengthening team identity and reducing identity threat provides both an additional theoretical contribution, and offers a practical strategy for enhancing the effectiveness of interprofessional teams.
Disgusting Democrats and Repulsive Republicans: Members of Political Outgroups Are Considered Physically Gross
Justin F. Landy,Joshua Rottman,Carlota Batres,Kristin L. Leimgruber +3 more
TL;DR: This study (N=915) finds that people judge political outgroup members as physically disgusting, but this effect varies by measure, with stronger effects for self-report and weaker or absent effects for nonverbal expressions.
Moral Disgust and the Tribal Instincts Hypothesis
Daniel R. Kelly
TL;DR: This study explores the relationship between moral disgust and tribal instincts, proposing that disgust serves as a cognitive shortcut for detecting threats to group cohesion, thereby reinforcing in-group loyalty and out-group exclusion.
When does the communication of group-based anger increase outgroup empathy in intergroup conflict? The role of perceived procedural unfairness and outgroup consensus
TL;DR: The authors found that the communication of group-based anger increases outgroup empathy only when the outgroup was treated unfairly and when there was high outgroup consensus (Experiment 2) and found that either antecedent seems sufficient to facilitate the positive, empathy-inducing e...

The Evolution of Reciprocal Altruism
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is presented to account for the natural selection of what is termed reciprocally altruistic behavior, and the model shows how selection can operate against the cheater (non-reciprocator) in the system.
