New study finds "social identification among male prisoners may simultaneously protect and threaten well-being, depending on the role of ingroup ties and identity centrality." BSky authors: @marc0marinucci.bsky.social @jolanda-jetten.bsky.social Open Access: doi.org/10.1111/bjso...

To be or not to be (a prisoner): Social identification as cure and curse via self- stigma and social exclusion

Research on social identification in marginalized populations has documented both social cure and social curse effects, suggesting that distinct identification dimensions may underlie opposite outcomes. This study integrated the Social Identity Approach to Health with stigma and social exclusion research to explore a dual pathway in which ingroup ties and identity centrality are respectively associated with greater or lower well-being among prisoners through their links with self-stigma and perceived social exclusion. A path analysis was conducted with a sample of 160 prisoners. Findings suggest that belonging and connectedness derived from identifying with fellow prisoners (i.e., ingroup ties) are associated with reduced psychological distress via lower perceived exclusion. In a context characterized by disconnection, social identification may provide a form of reconnection that supports well-being. Conversely, the personal importance attributed to the prisoner identity (i.e., identity centrality) was associated with greater self-stigma and perceived exclusion, with the latter mediating its negative association with well-being. Within a highly stigmatized group, the centrality of group identity may amplify feelings of exclusion, undermining well-being. Overall, the study advances understanding of the dual effects of social identification in marginalized groups and underscores the value of applying established psychosocial frameworks to hard-to-reach populations.

#AcademicSky #SocialPsychology #PsychSciSky This is a difficult read. Even if you think you've heard the entire Hewstone story, you'll likely learn new details here. I applaud the courage of the women who have come forward, and respect those too afraid to do so.

I’m glad to share our new paper on fossil fuel reliance and climate change mitigation. Higher perceived reliance is associated with lower support for systemic climate policies. (1/4) @jolanda-jetten.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thanks to Hema for a wonderful collaboration and thanks to all authors for their insightful analyses taking us back to the classic studies that form the cornerstone of the young field of political psychology.

Oxford Professor Miles Hewstone — exposed for sexual misconduct — remains a Fellow of the BritishAcademy Others with proven records of bullying / misconduct are Fellows The Academy has a code of conduct. It never enforces it, which is exactly why nothing ever changes @hetanshah.bsky.social

In the politics stream of the social identity summer school, we discuss the BBC prison study. We thought why not just go to our neighbour teacher and ask our questions directly. We did. @alexhaslam.bsky.social kindly joined us and answered students questions.

It’s a great pleasure to have @laurentlicata.bsky.social visit us at our stream and present his work on collective memory and its current implications. Looking forward to engaging with his research and look at it through a social identity lens

Feeling incredibly bloody lucky to have been successful with our #DP25. The system feels like such a lottery but it’s nice to finally get an ARC run on the board. Looking forward to getting started.
