“…First, the four studies constitute the first empirical evidence of factors that galvanize Native peoples’ civic engagement. Native peoples have long been omitted from mainstream society, which can trigger withdrawal responses such as unwillingness to participate in societal-level activities, including civic engagement (Mazzoni et al, 2020; Wiley et al, 2013). Opting out from mainstream society further reifies the cycle of silencing marginalized voices and overlooking and not addressing their needs.…”

Leading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Native American organizations and tribes launched get-out-the-vote campaigns that motivated Native peoples to vote in record numbers and helped flip battleground states. We conducted four studies (total N = 11,661 Native American adults) to examine the social and cultural factors explaining this historic Native civic engagement (e.g., campaigning). Results revealed that the more participants identified as being Native, the more they reported (a) engaging in civic activities, including get-out-the-vote behaviors during the 2020 election (Study 1); (b) civic engagement more broadly across a 5-year period (pilot study, Study 2); and (c) intentions to engage in civic activities in the future (Study 3). Moreover, participants who more strongly identified as Native were more likely to recognize the omission of their group from society and perceive greater group discrimination, which both independently and serially predicted greater civic engagement. These results suggest that leveraging the link between Native identification and group injustices can motivate action.

“…These assumptions are also compatible with the rejection–identification model (Branscombe et al 1999). If group members are disrespected by the dominant (superordinate) group, the identification with the disrespected group is strengthened to curb negative consequences for the disrespected group member and the identification with the disrespecting group is weakened due to these experiences (Branscombe et al 1999; Mazzoni et al 2020). Citizens in pluralizing societies—regardless of belonging to a minority or majority—are thus presumed to develop a dis-embedded identity if they or their societal subgroup is perceived to be disrespected (i.e., rejected, devaluated, or discriminated) within the larger society.…”

Dis-Embedded Identity of Majority Members: The Case of Catholics in Poland

In this article, we focus on the process of dis-embedded identification (the accentuation and prioritization of the identification with a particular subordinate ingroup relative to the identification with the relevant superordinate ingroup) among majority members and examine possible antecedents and consequences. To this end, we conducted research with Catholics in Poland. We hypothesized societal respect for Catholics would negatively predict dis-embedded identification, whereas intragroup respect would positively predict dis-embedded identification—especially under the condition of lacking societal respect. We further hypothesized dis-embedded identification to positively predict the pursuit of hegemony. These hypotheses are mainly based on Honneth’s theory of recognition and Turner’s self-categorization theory. Employing a longitudinal research design and latent variable modeling, we obtained supporting evidence for our hypotheses. The implications for further research, especially on intergroup relations and politics in pluralizing societies, are discussed.

“…Social exclusion can take many forms (e.g., rejection, ostracism), but a consensus exists in the literature on the definition of social exclusion as keeping somebody, physically or emotionally, separated [13 , 17 , 19 , 20] . The literature on this topic has deeply focused on the consequences triggered by social exclusion [3] , besides the investigation of the reason why social exclusion could occur.…”

The Social Exclusion Bench Tool (SEBT): A visual way of assessing interpersonal social exclusion

People usually prefer to appear with an inclusive and positive attitude to others’ eyes. For this reason, the self-report scales assessing social exclusion intentions are often biased by social desirability. In this work, we present an innovative graphical tool, named Social Exclusion Bench Tool (SEBT), for assessing social exclusion not influenced by social desirability. The tool is based on the consistency between social distance and physical distance evaluation. The results showed that in two samples of adults from Italy (N = 252) and the UK (N = 254), the SEBT positively correlated with self-report measures of social exclusion, but not with the social desirability measure. The tool has been preliminarily evaluated in the context of social exclusion toward migrant people, but it appears a promising instrument for assessing social exclusion intentions toward different social groups. The self-report scales assessing social exclusion intentions are often biased by social desirability. The Social Exclusion Bench Tool (SEBT) is an innovative visual instrument for assessing social exclusion that seems not to be influenced by social desirability. The tool appears a promising instrument for assessing social exclusion intentions toward different social groups.
