This study aimed to examine the role of the content of intergroup contact and ingroup identification on support for social change among advantaged group members. Preregistered two experimental and one correlational study were conducted with a representative Turkish sample to examine this association. In Study 1 (N=148, Mage=40.92, SD=17.66), the content of contact was manipulated as similarity-focused or difference-focused contact, and the effect of it on perceived ingroup fairness, perceived intergroup inequality, and the supporting behavior of some social policies were examined. Findings revealed that advantaged members who had difference-focused contact perceived more intergroup inequality and supported the high-cost social policy more than those who had similarity-focused contact. In Study 2 (N=173, Mage=42.48, SD=16.79), also ingroup identification was manipulated as low or high, and the effect of the content of contact and ingroup identification on the same dependent variables were examined. The findings showed that advantaged members with high ingroup identification who had difference-focused contact opposed the social change most, while those with low ingroup identification who had difference-focused contact supported social change most. In Study 3 (N=232, Mage=40.74, SD=15.82), the moderating role of ingroup identification on the association between difference-focused contact and similar dependents was examined. The findings indicated the moderating effect of ingroup identification on the ingroup fairness and supporting no-cost social policy. Intergroup contact with different contents may be more effective for members with high and low ingroup identification in intervention programs to be developed to harmony for groups with different social advantage statuses.

The Effects of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Identification and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors Acar, Feride Pınar (2019-12-30) The present study examines the role of transformational leadership as one of the antecedents of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). The extant literature that examines antecedents of OCB, many times, focuses on the direct effects of a variety of variables, ignoring the processes through which such variables encourage OCB. Thereby the OCB literature is full of black box theories. The current study attempts to address this black box by identifying and examining organizational identification as the pro...
Effects of threat to a valued social identity on implicit self-esteem and discrimination Smurda, Julie; Wittig, Michelle; Gökalp, Gökçe (2006-04-01) This research provides an experimental test of the self-esteem hypothesis that avoids potential hypothesis guessing and self-presentational concerns associated with previous research by including subtle measures of both social self-esteem and intergroup discrimination. The role of group identification and social self-esteem as determinants of ingroup bias was examined under high and low identity-threatening conditions utilizing an implicit measure of social self-esteem. Participants read a fictitious statem...

Men had more negative scores on ATG and ATLthan women. Gay men were evaluated more negatively than lesbians by men. Havin...
Direct and indirect effects of social support on psychological well-being Gençöz, Tülin (Scientific Journal Publishers Ltd, 2004-01-01) The aim of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effects of social support on psychological well-being. Social support was evaluated under two different categories which were named as Aid-Related and Appreciation-Related Social Support. The first category was more related to potential for receiving help from others when needed, and being cared for by others, while the latter category was more related to being recognized by others as an efficient source of help and reassurance of worth. Under...
