“…Previous research has shown that high-power people attach more value to competence than to warmth, while the reverse is true for low-power people (Oldmeadow & Fiske, 2010;Cambon, Yzerbyt & Yakimova, in press). This suggests that competence is the salient dimensions for high-power people, while warmth is the salient dimension for low-power people.…”

Previous research suggests competing hypotheses regarding the effect of power on social projection. The current research proposes that this effect depends on the characteristics to be projected, namely warmth and competence. In four studies, participants first rated themselves on a list of traits/preferences, they then performed a power manipulation task, and, finally, they rated a target person on the same list. Studies 1 and 2 found that high-power participants projected less than low-power participants on characteristics related to warmth. Studies 3 and 4 revealed an interaction between power and dimensions of judgment such that low-power participants projected less than high-power participants on competence whereas the reverse was found on warmth. The underlying cognitive and motivational mechanisms are discussed. Previous research suggests competing hypotheses regarding the effect of power on social projection.

“…The second dimension relies on a person's ability to achieve objectives, succeed in a social system and obtain the most valued positions (Abele & Wojciszke, 2007;Darnon, et al 2009;Dubois & Beauvois, 2001, 2005Testé & Perrin, 2013). Research suggests that this second dimension is associated with high-status groups (Fiske et al, 2002;Fragale, Rosen, Xu, & Merideth, 2009;Oldmeadow & Fiske, 2010), and related to an individual's status (Carrier, Louvet, Chauvin, & Rohmer, 2014;Dubois, 2010).…”

The social valorization of Preference For Consistency (PFC) was examined via a minimal group paradigm activating either equivalent or asymmetric intergroup relations. After an aesthetic judgment task and assignment to one of two groups, participants (N = 298) completed the PFC scale according to three instructions: on their own behalf, as an ingroup member, or as an outgroup member (order counter-balanced). Results showed that in equivalent intergroup relations, participants attributed greater PFC to the ingroup and to the self than to the outgroup. In asymmetric intergroup relations, participants attributed greater PFC to the high-status group and to the self than to the low-status group, and this was independent of the participants' group membership. We discuss the contribution the minimal group paradigm can make to revealing the social valorization of psychological constructs and the mechanisms underlying the social value accorded to PFC.

Abstract:The growing importance of the new technologies raises the question of the relationship between the individual and the digital world. One of the main motivations of internet usage is social communication. Among the few studies concerning internet usage and the attachment, most suggest a predisposition of insecure people to the excessive internet usage. All participants completed two self-administered questionnaires: RSQ (relationship scale questionnaire) and IAT (internet addiction test). The self-administered questionnaires were put online: The link to the form was distributed by emails and social networks. Our results show a link between attachment anxiety and problematic internet usage. Internet could provide people having an attachment anxiety style a more reassuring environment to interact with others. The attachment preoccupation is a factor related to the problematic Internet usage. A management that takes into account the motivations related to attachment may reduce recourse to the virtual world.
