“…This hypothesis supports the theory that outsiders are able to assimilate into the ingroup through associative processes (Hall and Crisp 2008;Moreland 1985). By working alongside the ingroup over a longer period of time, an outsider is able to learn ingroup norms and exhibit ingroup behaviors which ultimately allow him or her to assimilate and be accepted by their ingroup peers.…”

Migrant Workers and Workplace Bullying in Urban China

A survey was conducted among 768 migrant workers working in urban cities in China finding out about their experiences over ten types of workplace bullying measures. This paper examines how the ex-ante choices of migrant workers in their choice of which region to work in, choice of how long to stay in their company, choice of level of education to receive, choice to transfer their hukou to the city of their workplace, and also their choice to be educated in the labor law, impact the intensity of workplace bullying experienced. Except for knowledge of the labor law, all other choices lessen workplace bullying in some of these dimensions but increases workplace bullying in others. For those with Junior High qualifications and above, the consistent result is that migrants who are more familiar with the labor law, are able to experience less workplace bullying across most of the ten domains.

“…Since the outgroup is by definition (more) distant from the social self, but not necessarily from the personal self, people might project less positivity to the outgroup. Taking into consideration that social projection involves the activation of the personal self (Clement & Krueger, 2000) and that outgroup priming leads to the activation of the social self (Hall & Crisp, 2008) following imagined contact, and when the self (versus the outgroup) is salient, projection of positivity should be greatest. Consistent with this theorizing, imagined contact promoted more positive outgroup perceptions when the personal, versus collective, self was salient.…”

Imagined intergroup contact (Crisp & Turner, 2009) is a new indirect contact strategy for promoting tolerance and more positive intergroup relations. Research has shown that mentally simulating a positive interaction with an outgroup member can elicit more favorable explicit and implicit outgroup attitudes, less stereotyping, and enhance intentions to engage in future contact.This review documents the range of benefits that accrue from imagined contact, the processes through which it operates, and the conditions that limit or enhance its effectiveness. Studies have shown when, how and why imagining contact reduces prejudice against a range of different target groups, and how it can be integrated with existing contact-based approaches to provide maximally effective strategies for improving intergroup relations. The approach is not without its critics, and this review addresses the controversies and debates stimulated by imagined contact theory and research. The review concludes with a discussion of the value that imagery techniques can bring to implementations of contact theory, and how the approach offers a new, flexible and effective tool for practitioners and policy makers in their efforts to promote, encourage and enhance more harmonious intergroup relations.

“…For example, salience of one's self-identity (Schubert & Häfner, 2003) or one's group-identity (Spears, Gordijn, Dijksterhuis, & Stapel, 2004) can foster viewing oneself as distinct from outgroup primes and hence lead to contrast in behavior. Identifying strongly with the ingroup leads to the same effects (Hall & Crisp, 2008). Similarly, disliking (Cesario, Plaks, & Higgins, 2006) and feeling distant from outgroups (Ledgerwood & Chaiken, 2007) promote contrast from outgroup primes.…”

In this paper, we provide a brief review of prime-to-behavior effects and discuss our theoretical model for such effects: the Active-Self Account. We also address recent discussions in the literature regarding the replicability of prime-to-behavior effects and outline features that can affect their existence and the likelihood of detecting such effects experimentally.Behavioral priming refers to the phenomenon whereby exposure to a stimulus (e.g., a word or picture) or set of stimuli (e.g., sentences to unscramble) activates a concept, which in turn influences a subsequent behavioral response without awareness of the links among these elements. Put another way, priming can create a readiness to respond in particular ways without intention or awareness by the prime recipient. Researchers have known about priming effects for decades. Lashley (1951) first used the term "priming" to describe response preparedness in intentional serial behavioral sequences. Segal and Cofer (1960) were the first to demonstrate the sort of passive priming more typical of modern social psychological priming research, whereby simple exposure to a stimulus increases its use in subsequent contexts. Specifically, they showed that exposure to words in one task increased their usage in a subsequent free-association task. Primes can have effects beyond the activated construct itself, however. Constructs, when activated, can increase the accessibility of other constructs linked in memory. For example, people are quicker to identify whether a letter string is a word or not when they have previously been exposed to a semantically related word (e.g., Meyer and Sch-
