“…For example, it might indicate a tendency to respond in a socially desirable way (Nadler et al, 2015). The provision of complete anonymity in online surveys tends to minimize social desirability pressures on self-report measures (Lautenschlager & Flaherty, 1990;Stark et al, 2019), as was found in a survey-embedded experiment in Germany and the Netherlands (Bamberg & Verkuyten, 2021). However, complete anonymity might decrease participants' motivation to respond carefully and thoughtfully (Lelkes et al, 2012).…”

In Western societies, generalized prejudice and anti-Muslim sentiments can be major drivers of the rejection of Muslim religious practices. However, people can also reject such practices for other reasons, such as concerns about civil liberties or the secular nature of the state. With national samples of German and Dutch majority members ( N = 3,703), we used a multiple-acts-multiple-actors design to simultaneously examine attitudes toward four religious practices of three religious groups. Latent profile analysis revealed a subgroup of people that used a double standard and more strongly rejected Muslims than Christians and Jews engaging in the same practices (discriminatory rejection, 16.3%). However, four other subgroups responded to the practices independently of religious group (equal acceptance, 18.3%; equally moderate, 35%; equal rejection, 17.3%; and partial equal rejection, 13.1%). The five subgroups differ on key psychological correlates and self-reported reasons for rejection. We conclude that a multiple-acts-multiple-actors design provides a more nuanced understanding of how majority members evaluate Muslim minority practices in Western nations.

“…Moreover, theoretically, one potential avenue for future work is to examine whether conservatives might demonstrate a "conservative P-I gap" under conditions of salient personal stake, such that they would show a gap between endorsed conservative principles and their respective behavior under conditions in which behavioral alignment with the principle would have negative personal implications. Consistent with a "conditional approach" to the study of inequality, although the motivations (Bamberg & Verkuyten, 2021), conditions (e.g., target) and manifestations of the P-I gap may differ between the two groups, the outcome (behavior that exacerbates inequality) is likely to be the same. The focus on privileged liberals in the present work, per se, is because one would hope encouraging behavior to achieve equality will be easier to achieve among those that already support (at least in principle) the notion of equality, compared to those that do not.…”

The privileged liberal principle‐implementation gap: How the personal behavior of privileged liberals contributes to social inequality

Much of the work on the development and maintenance of group inequality has focused on a select number of advantaged groups, resulting in a "blind spot" regarding the role of liberals in contributing to social inequality. The present work tests for a privileged liberal principle-implementation gap, the notion that under conditions that make personal stake salient privileged liberals exhibit a gap between their self-reported principles and behavioral tendencies. The studies focus on three areas critical to inequality: employment (i.e., affirmative action; Studies 1a and 4), education (i.e., equal access to education for the working class; Study 1b), and housing (i.e., access to affordable housing; Study 1c), as well as support for the homeless (Studies 2 and 3). The results demonstrate that privileged liberals report higher principles to reduce inequality compared to conservatives, but in settings with salient personal stake exhibit no differences in behavior compared to conservatives.The findings also provide direct experimental evidence for the role of personal stake in shaping the privileged liberal P-I gap. Implications for the study of inequality and impact on Black/Brown working-class communities, as well as a class-based approach to social change, are discussed.

“…Person‐centered approaches identify distinct unobserved subgroups of individuals who respond differently to two or more indicator variables. For example, previous research has identified subgroups of individuals that qualitatively differ in the particular ways in which they combine or organize right‐wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation (Osborne & Sibley, 2017), in their constellation of internal motivation and external motivation to respond without prejudice (Bamberg & Verkuyten, 2021), in the evaluation of a range of Muslim minority practices (Dangubić et al, 2020), and in tolerance of different groups and behaviors (McCutcheon, 1985). Importantly, person‐centered research does not assume linear relations between the perceptions and attitudes used to rank‐order individuals for testing theoretical process models (i.e., variable‐centered approaches), but focuses on more complex and qualitatively distinct constellations within types of people.…”

Conflicts over the ownership of territory have shaped intergroup relations between indigenous and nonindigenous groups in settler societies. Using latent profile analysis, we found four different subgroups of individuals among a sample of European New Zealanders based on their perceived ingroup (NZ European) and outgroup (Māori) ownership. Most people (75.9%) perceived shared territorial ownership, but there were also individuals predominantly recognizing ingroup ownership (8.2%), outgroup ownership (6.4%), or no territorial ownership (9.4%).These subgroups differed in meaningful ways in their support for principles of ownership, perceived rights and responsibilities, compensation for Māori, and support for strict immigration policies. | INTRODUCTIONPeople can have a perception of ownership which involves the sense that a certain object or place belongs to them (Pierce et al., 2003). Just as one can feel to personally own something ("mine"), one can also think that something belongs to one's group ("ours"). This is referred to as collective psychological ownership (Pierce & Jussila, 2011), such as ownership of territories like "our beach" (Due & Riggs, 2008), "our neighborhood" (Toruńczyk-Ruiz & Martinović, 2020), and "our land" (Nijs, Martinović, Verkuyten et al., 2021). Importantly, people not only have a sense of what belongs to their ingroup, but can also recognize outgroups as owners (Nooitgedagt, Martinović et al., 2021; Storz et al., 2021). Collective psychological ownership perceptions can have important implications in settler societies that were colonized by predominantly European settlers, and where disputes and conflicts over the ownership of territory have shaped intergroup relations between indigenous and nonindigenous (settler) groups (Alfred & Corntassel, 2005). However, not much is known about the distinct ways in which individuals subjectively combine perceptions of ingroup and outgroup territorial ownership in these settings. | The current studyThe first and primary aim of the current study is to examine qualitatively different understandings of territorial collective ownership that nonindigenous people can have by considering three related key aspects of collective ownership: who is seen as the owner, why is that group seen as the owner, and what ownership implies in terms of perceived rights and responsibilities.The first aspect of collective ownership ("who") refers to the question which group is considered to own a territory, and we will examine different ways in which ingroup and outgroup territorial ownership beliefs can be subjectively combined. In contrast to examining associations between variables (a variable centered approach, e.g., Storz et al., 2021), we will use a person-centered approach to examine the possibility
