Abstract
This study tested whether a Korean group of darker-skinned members would be perceived as higher in entitativity than a group of lighter-skinned members, and whether relationship between members’ skin tone and entitativity would be serially mediated by perceived socioeconomic status (SES) and perceived collectivism/individualism. We pre-registered the hypotheses, procedures, and measurement and analysis methods of this study. We also report how we determined our sample size, all data exclusions (if any), all manipulations, and all measures in the study. Participants were assigned to either the darker-skinned or the lighter-skinned condition, and rated perceived SES and collectivism/individualism of three targets. Next, participants were presented with the group image consisting of the three targets and read the description of the group, and answered to questions on perceived entitativity of the group. The results showed that no significant serial mediation effect of the perceived SES and collectivism/individualism tendency on the relationship between skin tone and entitativity, nor significant effects on any of the five factors of entitativity (common fate, common goals, closeness, impermeability, groupness). In an exploratory analysis, there were significant serial mediation effects on the relationship between participants’ perceiving skin tone lightness of the targets and the five factors of entitativity, in the opposite direction to our expectations: The lighter participants perceived the targets’ skin tone, the higher was targets’ SES and collectivism, and finally, higher collectivism led to higher perceptions of common goals, closeness, and groupness of the group.
Abstract
In this study, latent profile analysis of Bright and Dark Personality Inventory-Short Form was conducted and verified whether it was equivalent to the latent profile analysis result of the original form. Collected 1,059 people data for BDPI validation study was used, and latent profile analysis was conducted on the 10 high-order factor score of General personality 5 and Maladaptive personality 5 factor. In BDPI original form, latent group was determined as three groups. and BDPI short form’s latent group was determined as three groups like the orignal form. These three groups were named as “well-adjusted personality group”, “ordinary personality group”, “maladaptive personality group”. As a result, the score distribution of each group of the two forms were similar each other like that score distribution was found before, the percentage agreement between the original form and the short form was 86.89%, and the Cohen’s kappa coefficient between the original form and the short form was .778, showing a significant level of agreement. The difference in personality scores according to three latent groups of the short form was statistically significant. When the difference in personality scores of the high-order 10 factors according to the latent group was confirmed, the two groups with no score difference in general personality trait showed a significant difference in maladaptive personality trait. The latent groups predict differently Self-Report Standardized Assessment of Personality- Abbreviated Scale(SAPAS-SR) score, which proved prediction validity of BDPI-SF. The score differences according to each group were statistically significant, and the maladaptive personality group predicted the high SAPAS-SR average score. Finally, contributions and limitations of this study were presented in the discussion section.
Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between dual social identity, ingroup projection, and attitudes toward the unification of Korea. We hypothesized that South Koreans who are characterized as having dual social identity, namely, those who identify themselves strongly with both the superordinate category (i.e., ethnic identity) and the subordinate category (i.e., national identity), would show high levels of ingroup projection, which in turn would predict negatively their attitudes toward unification of North and South Korea. In addition, we examined the moderating effect of the centrality of the superordinate and the subgroup identity on the relationship between dual identity and ingroup projection. Data from a stratified sample of South Korean adults (N = 1,600) revealed that, as expected, ingroup projection negatively mediated the relationship between dual identity and attitudes toward the unification of Korea. Importantly, the relationship between dual identity and ingroup projection was attenuated among those who perceived their superordinate identity as a more central aspect of themselves than their subgroup identity. We discuss the implications of our findings for the role of social identity in social integration research in the context of the unification of Korea.
