“…The context of gender relations has been receiving increased attention in recent decades, which has accelerated quite dramatically since the start of the #MeToo movement, among other things. Although very different from the context of the Israeli‐Palestinian conflict in various aspects, gender relations are also characterized by asymmetrical power relations among the involved groups and increased tensions driven by discriminatory and unequal relations (e.g., Anisman‐Razin, Kark, & Saguy, ; Levin, ; Wilson & Liu, ). Because of the growing discourse on this topic, we thought it would be important to understand the underlying mechanisms of group‐based guilt and shame in this context.…”

Group‐based guilt and shame are part of a wide range of moral emotions in intergroup conflicts. These emotions can potentially motivate group members to make compromises in order to promote conflict resolution, and increase support for reparations and apologies following moral transgressions committed by the in‐group. Thus, it is important to understand how to induce these emotions and the mechanisms for their effects. In the present paper, we examined the mechanisms underlying group‐based guilt and shame in four studies. Across the first three studies, conducted in the context of the Israeli‐Palestinian conflict, we found that group‐based guilt was mostly predicted by individuals’ implicit theories about groups (ITG). Specifically, we found that the more participants believed that groups are malleable, the more they experienced group‐based guilt. Group‐based shame, however, was found to be dependent upon individuals’ perception of other people’s perceptions about the malleability of groups (i.e., meta‐ITG), as the perceived damage to one’s in‐group image is a major component in experiencing shame. In Study 4, conducted in the context of gender relations, we differentiated between the two components of shame, that is, moral and image shame. As predicted, while group‐based guilt and moral shame showed similar patterns of results, meta‐ITG had a moderating effect on the association between ITG and group‐based image shame. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed in relation to promoting intergroup conflict resolution and reconciliation.

“…To this situation can be added the difficulty of accurately assessing these types of attitudes since most existing instruments for the assessment of more egalitarian gender role attitudes do not capture all the diversity within nontraditional attitudes; a binary model predominates and not all possible social roles are considered, and a ceiling effect may predominate, derived among other things from previous biases [53]. In this sense, we can also point out the relevance of studies such as the one presented in this work to generate awareness of the need to address these issues from a public health policy, since it may seem that in current democratic societies it is no longer necessary to be concerned about issues related to gender inequality [54] and to pay attention to diversity with the enormous implications that can be derived from this from both a theoretical and practical point of view.…”

The present study forms part of the project “Cross-disciplinary education for sexual, body, and gender diversity” (Code 419). The aim of this study was to analyze the role played by the psychoeducational variables involved in burnout (resilience, self-efficacy, self-esteem, emotional intelligence, empathy, and everyday stress) on attitudes toward sexual and gender diversity rights. Participants comprised 170 university students undertaking a degree in primary education. Instruments were administered to assess the constructs analyzed, ensuring informed consent, voluntary participation, anonymity, and data confidentiality. An ex post facto design was employed to determine whether attitudes toward sexual and gender diversity rights are influenced by the possible relationships and role of these variables. We found statistically significant associations between students’ attitudes toward sexual and gender diversity at all three levels (sociocultural, relational, and personal) and the variable of burnout. Attitudes towards gender sexual orientation and gender identity rights influence burnout, and vice versa. As we ponder deeply about how these factors influence one another, we can shift our perspectives in a way that builds social harmony. It is important to learn how exactly these influences work, and this knowledge translates into making teaching strategies more effective to help raise awareness about guaranteeing rights for all. At the personal level of students’ attitudes toward sexual and gender diversity/equality, we found positive correlations between this level and the total score for the variable of resilience and with its factor of personal competence. The data obtained will be of use for future psychoeducational assessment and intervention programs related to an education in sexual orientation and gender identity rights that are aimed at developing socio-emotional competencies and attention to diversity with the ultimate goal of improving social harmony by dismantling stereotypes and raising awareness of the importance of the variables of resilience, self-efficacy, self-esteem, emotional intelligence, empathy, and everyday stress which highlights how “education is an instrument of social transformation”.

“…Observed verbal behavior was as follows: "Female entered with a male, made no comment" and "Group of males entered and loudly laughed". Research suggests males may perceive females negatively when females confront gender signs (Anisman-Razin et al, 2018), consequently females may not have made critical comments when with a male. Additionally, individuals had similar expressions in groups of the same gender, possibly due to the effect of group opinion on individual behavior (Klucharev et al, 2009).…”

This field experiment aimed to answer the following research question: Is there a significant association between gender and conformity in a South African context? The methodological foundations for our research question (within a South African context) were laid by the United States of America field experiment of Carter et al. ( 2019) and accordingly unobtrusive observation was used to observe male and female conformity. The setting for the field experiment was a cafeteria on campus at a tertiary institution in South Africa. Statistical data analysis revealed a significant association between gender and conformity, with males less conforming and more non-conforming than expected, and females more conforming and less non-conforming than expected. Moreover, a content analysis of observed verbal behavior revealed the following five categories: females expressed anger, females critically questioned gender signs, males expressed amusement at the experience, males casually inquired about gender signs, and finally that groups influence vocal expression. In contrast to international studies, our results show high rates of non-conformity and amusement amongst males and high rates of conformity and anger amongst females.
