Measurement and antecedents of national resilience in Filipino adults during coronavirus crisis

“…In contrast to previous research that reported lower levels of perceived NR in females mostly from Middle Eastern countries (Eshel et al, 2020), the current study found that Filipino females had similar levels of NR with males. This finding attests to the Philippines having the smallest gender gap in the Asian region notably in the areas of leadership, economic participation and opportunity, and professional and technical positions (Kosakowska-Berezecka, Besta, Bosson, Jurek, & Zukauskiene, 2020;World Economic Forum, 2019)-all of which can boost NR.…”

Understanding allies’ participation in social change: A multiple perspectives approach

“…The perception that intergroup relations is a zero-sum game, whereby gains for one group imply losses for other groups (e.g., Esses et al, 1998;Ruthig et al, 2017), as opposed to a positive-sum game (e.g., Deutsch, 2006), decreases advantaged groups' support for actions and policies benefitting disadvantaged groups (e.g., Radke et al, 2018). Two papers in this special issue provide further empirical support for the generalizability of this effect both cross-culturally (Kosakowska-Berezecka et al, 2020), and across various contexts of social inequality, that is, racism, heterosexism (Stefaniak et al, 2020), and sexism (Kosakowska-Berezecka et al, 2020). The reason why endorsing zero-sum beliefs represents a barrier to the advantaged group's engagement is because these beliefs are linked to fear about losing their privileged status (Stefaniak et al, 2020), and more hostile attitudes towards the disadvantaged group (Kosakowska-Berezecka et al, 2020).…”

“…that is by what other group members approve of (i.e., injunctive norms), and what they do (i.e., descriptive norms). Using a social network analysis approach, Roblain and colleagues 2020 Altogether, these papers illuminate new pathways for advantaged groups' potential involvement in allyship: perceptions of intergroup relations as interdependent and not antagonistic (Kosakowska-Berezecka et al, 2020;Stefaniak et al, 2020), meta-beliefs or expectations to be perceived as allies by disadvantaged groups (Adra et al, 2020), and egalitarian peer group norms (Roblain et al, 2020). They also deepen our knowledge about potential barriers to allyship, which seem to be particularly strong among highly identified advantaged group members.…”

“…In line with our understanding of allyship, we use a multiple perspectives approach as an organizing principle to identify themes that emerge in the papers included in this special issue. We start with four empirical papers investigating the advantaged groups' perspective (Adra et al, 2020;Kosakowska-Berezecka et al, 2020;Roblain et al, 2020;Stefaniak et al, 2020), followed by two papers examining the disadvantaged groups' perspective (Hasan-Aslih et al, 2020;Hildebrand et al, 2020). Lastly, we introduce two theoretical papers that use a multiple perspectives approach (Burson, & Godfrey, 2020;Selvanathan et al, 2020).…”

“…According to this research, the reason why high identifiers are not willing to challenge inequality (e.g., Iyer & Ryan, 2009;Osborne et al, 2019), is because they are more likely to perceive intergroup relations as antagonistic and endorse zero-sum beliefs (Stefaniak et al, 2020), and feel that their group has been unfairly portrayed (Adra et al, 2020). Furthermore, two papers in this issue highlight that allyship does not happen in a vacuum and reveal an interesting interplay between the broader normative climate that may not necessarily boost advantaged groups' engagement in allyship (Kosakowska-Berezecka et al, 2020), in contrast to local peer norms that can exert a positive influence (Roblain et al, 2020).…”
