Abstract
The present study reports data from a field experiment that tested a synergy model of collectivistic value orientation and independent self-representation on group creativity(Choi, Cho, Seo, & Bechtoldt, 2018). Participants were recruited from a university-wide learning camp on teamwork. We induced a collectivistic value orientation as part of a teamwork activity in all groups. With this, we primed either independent or interdependent self-representation in the two experimental conditions. We also included a control condition where there was no manipulation of self-representation. Using an interactive group brainstorming task, we found support for the hypothesized synergy effect in groups where participants were randomly assigned to the work unit. No significant effects were found in groups of friends. Results also suggest that the observed synergy effect is due in part to the creativity-enhancing nature of independent self-representation, rather than detrimental effects of interdependent self-representation on group creativity. We discuss implications of these findings vis-à-vis previous research on the link between individualism-collectivism and group creativity. We also discuss limitations and future directions of this research.
Abstract
Regarding the altruistic punishment of a third party, an act committed by a person unrelated to the situation after witnessing an unfair situation. the inequity aversion model describes the experienced moral outrage when witnessing an unfair situation as a determinant of a third party's altruistic punishment, but does not address what cognitive processes lead to third-party punishment. Present study was intended to find out why moral outrage led to the decision of the altruistic punishment of a third party to approach the cognitive processing process through the theory of dual system and the ego-depletion incurred stronger punishment. For these purposes, 40 participants were randomly assigned to high and low ego-depletion conditions, manipulated ego-depletion, and then played third party punishment game, and measured the moral outrage experienced in each situation. Results of this study found that the more unfair situation participants witnessed, the more strongly they experienced moral outrage, but there was no difference between conditions. However, participants not only imposed stronger punishment on the more unfair the situation they witnessed, but also stronger punishments than high ego-depletion conditions were lower when the unfairness of the situation they witnessed was relatively high. These difference between conditions was significant even though controlling the effects of the moral outrage. These results indicate that the role of system 1 that is impulsive and emotion-based and system 2. which has adjust and self-control function on the altruistic punishment of third parties, and the reason why ego-depletion increases the third-party’s punishment is no because of the experience of increased moral outrage but because of the impaired function of system 2.
Abstract
The present study examined the relationship between social identity uncertainty and levels of social identification among Koreans whose social identities are nested in a hierarchical structure involving ethnic identity (i.e., Han-ethnicity) and national identity (i.e., South Korean). The presumed link between social identity uncertainty and social identification was tested in a path model that stipulates a positive relationship between ethnic identification (but not national identification) and individuals’ attitudes and action intention toward intergroup reconciliation. Data were obtained from 1,000 adult Koreans residing in Korea using a stratified sampling method. A path analysis revealed that, as expected, subgroup (South Korea) identity uncertainty strengthened identification with the superordinate category (Han-ethnicity), which predicted positively attitudes towards intergroup reconciliation. Attitudes toward intergroup reconciliation, in turn, predicted positively individuals’ intention to engage in reconciliatory behavior. By contrast, superordinate identity (Han-ethnicity) uncertainty did not predict subgroup (South Korea) identification. We also found differences in the attitudes and action intention across several demographic variables. We discuss implications of the findings from the perspective of an asymmetric compensation between superordinate identity uncertainty and subgroup identification in Korea. We also discuss practical implications and future directions.
