“…One possible explanation for mothers' positive perceptions of infants like their own is in line with research on adults that has shown that people who perceive others like themselves view them more positively than others who are not like themselves (Crocker & Major, 1989;Walsh & Banaji, 1997). In terms of the present study, mothers may have identified their infant as belonging to either the group of premature or full-term infants and had more positive perceptions toward the group with which they identified.…”

Objective: To examine the relationship between mothers' prematurity stereotyping and perceptions of vulnerability at 5 months and mother-infant interactions at 9 months for mothers of premature (N556) and full-term (N559) infants. Method: At 5 months, mothers rated videotapes of unfamiliar infants given either a full-term label (FTL) or premature label (PL) and completed questionnaires. At 9 months, mothers were videotaped in interactions with their own infant. A subgroup of mothers completed questionnaires at 32 months. Results: Mothers who more positively rated infants labelled with the same birth status as their own infants chose a more mature toy for their own infant and exhibited more positive interactive behaviours with their own infant at 9 months. Mothers who viewed their infant as more vulnerable at 5 months demonstrated less positive interactions with their 9-month old infants. Both mothers of premature and full-term infants who rated FTL infants more positively at 5 months felt less selfefficacious; however, the former group felt more overprotective whereas the latter group reported less overprotectiveness. Conclusions: Results show some support for a relationship between early maternal cognitions and later maternal behaviour, although present findings are not as consistent as in previous studies. Implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Individualism also relates to attributes of personal success and status (Bellah et al 1985;Chiou 2001;Oyserman and Markus 1993;Schwartz 1990;Triandis 1995;Triandis et al 1988). The distinction of individualism is in terms of the uniqueness of the self in comparison to the others (Bellah et al 1985;Hsu 1983;Kagitcibasi 1994;Kim et al 1994;Markus and Kitayama 1991;Oyserman and Markus 1993;Sampson 1977;Triandis 1995;Triandis and Gelfand 1998;Walsh and Banaji 1997). These individualistic attributes can be expressed in a personal communication style Holtgraves 1997;Triandis 1995) with a higher likelihood of using 'I' more then 'we' and of being more assertive (Wu and Rubin 2000).…”

“…Attributes of individualists include an emphasis on personal responsibility and freedom of choice (Waterman 1984), personal autonomy and self-fulfilment (Hofstede 1980), distinctive personal attitudes and opinions (Markus and Kitayama 1991;Triandis 1995), autonomous behaviour independent of groups (Reykowski 1994), need for detachment from others and individual autonomy (Andersen et al 1997), and function according to personal choices (Walsh and Banaji 1997). Individualism also relates to attributes of personal success and status (Bellah et al 1985;Chiou 2001;Oyserman and Markus 1993;Schwartz 1990;Triandis 1995;Triandis et al 1988).…”

Factors affecting responses to Likert type questionnaires: introduction of the ImpExp, a new comprehensive model

The major purpose of this paper is to propose a comprehensive model describing the effects of response sets within the theory framework of the stages of responding to questionnaires, and taking into account the effects of collectivist and individualist attributes within cross-cultural contexts. The introduction of this model aims to provide a construct that may help minimize biases in questionnaire-based research as well as providing new directions for theoretical and empirical research in the field of response sets.

“…Collectively, we crave social interactions and actively seek them out whenever possible (Baumeister & Leary, 1995). Our social group and its perceived social status strongly influence our self-esteem (e.g., Ellemers, Van Knippenberg, de Vries, & Wilke, 1988;Ellemers, Wilke, & Van Knippenberg, 1993;Tajfel & Turner, 1986;Walsh & Banaji, 1997), mental well-being, and physical well-being (House, Landis, & Umberson, 1988;Rubin & Mills, 1988). Therefore, it is not surprising that we try to preserve the integrity of our social group and its status when selecting new group members.…”

Emerging research suggests that the cues we glean from first impressions depend on our goals. This research uses sorority recruitment to examine whether groups that vary in social status rely on disparate cues to form first impressions of potential new group members. Current sorority members were given 500 ms to view pictures of women who wanted to join their sororities, and were then asked how likely it was that each prospective member would receive a bid from their sorority (bid expectancy). Prospective members were also rated on their attractiveness. Data were analyzed separately for high‐ vs. low‐status houses. Results revealed that attractiveness was more predictive of liking and bid expectancy for the high‐status houses, as compared to the low‐status houses.
