“…But vigilantism may stand for a powerful alternative, informal, normative system whose goals differ from the current social order within the community. This may either be considered as an undesirable strain in the functional relations between community members (e.g., Parsons, 1951), as the expression of social conflict resultant from perceived structural inequality or intergroup differentials (e.g., Chirot & Seligman, 2001;Moscovici & Doise, 1994;Tajfel, 1981), or as a demand for the change/improvement of ingroup's social order itself, and thus, a source of positive social identity. These processes are avenues for research.…”

Based on subjective group dynamics theory, we examine the idea that when facing ingroup's social control inefficacy, normative individuals adopt intense and negative social control measures toward ingroup deviants based on a group protection motive. In Study 1 (N = 122), participants learned that a criminal offense had either been trialed in court (social control efficacy) or not (social control inefficacy). In Study 2 (N = 107), participants reported their perceived efficacy of ingroup's social control mechanisms. In both studies, participants' agreement with excluding ingroup deviants and with informal social control measures (e.g., vigilantism) are associated with perceived ineffective formal social control mechanisms. Participants' ingroup protection concerns predicted such agreement in Study 2. These findings suggest that the unsuccessful social reintegration of offenders can be influenced by the normative members' intension to informally compensate for ingroup's ineffective social control mechanisms. Public Significance StatementTrust in the justice system is key to reinforce individuals' commitment to the values shared by their community. We suggest that when individuals perceive that formal social control mechanisms (as is the case of the justice system) are ineffective, they increase their agreement with the implementation of informal alternative means of crime control (namely, exclusion of offenders and vigilantism). Indeed, when the justice system fails, individuals tend to compensate such failure through informal mechanisms of social control on behalf of group protection, namely by agreeing with vigilantism practices and the exclusion of offenders from the community. These mechanisms are particularly relevant and deserve attention because they are in contradiction with the formal goals of the justice system regarding offenders' resocialization and reintegration processes.

Purpose – The aim of the study is to systematize knowledge on the ethos and image of the businessman/CEO in Poland and Portugal as a result of political and socio‑economic changes in both countries, as well as to identify differences and similarities conditioned by history and culture. Research method – The method used in this study is comparative and follows a diachronic analysis, using secondary sources and critical analysis of the literature. Due to the specificity of the research issues being developed, the work is descriptive. Results – The research presents the complex and historically and culturally dependent ethos and image of the businessman in both countries; more frequent Polish research, on representative samples, a qualitative study in Portugal many years ago and a few smaller ones, as well as the lack of research in recent years, indicate the need for new research. The negative image of the businessman from the past in both countries seems to be weakening, but it has not become positive, but rather ambivalent. The traditional ethos of a responsible and caring businessman seems to still hold in both cultures. Polish businessmen are better educated than Portuguese, which is historically conditioned, but the education of Portuguese seems to be increasing recently. Businessmen in both countries have mostly professional experience prior to starting their own business. Businessmen are generally satisfied with life, family and their work, have a stable family life, and attribute their success to personal qualities; they see excessive state participation in the economy and statism. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – The study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the development of the ethos and image of a businessman in Poland and Portugal from the second half of the 20th century. This is the first comparative study on the businessman ethos and image in these countries. The study indicates gaps and new directions for potentially interesting research.

“…More specifically, we suggest that a relational dimension at the group level plays a crucial role during face-to-face group interactions. As stated by Moscovici and Doise (1992), the regulation of attitudinal conflicts within a group "depends not only on what is debated, but also how it is debated" (p. 182). In their analysis of the polarization process, Moscovici and Doise showed that opposing opinions emerge and survive more easily in informal groups than in formal organizations.…”

This paper analyzes the conditions under which groups composed of two opposing factions are able to preserve group cohesion and subgroup opinion divisions simultaneously. Results from two experimental studies conducted with small interactive groups showed that groups with opposing factions were able to preserve subgroup divergence without jeopardizing superordinate group cohesion. A process termed relational regulation of ingroup opinion divisions explains these findings: The more group members perceived the group as promoting good relations, the more they maintained or even radicalized their initial opinions. In contrast, in an experimental context in which opinion divergences were not reinforced by subcategorization, we observed convergence toward a unique group position destined to maintain group cohesion that was independent of the perceived relational norm.
