“…Researchers have evoked metastereotypes by showing respondents an article (sometimes purported to have appeared online, van Leeuwen & Täuber, 2012, or in a newspaper, van Leeuwen & Jongh, 2015) that describes how a certain outgroup views the respondents’ ingroup. As in Van Leeuwen and Jongh (2015), we asked young adults to read an article describing how older adults viewed people aged 18 to 30 years. We explained that the article “summarizes some of the things that older adults think and believe about members of the millennial generation.” Each article used research (with hyperlinks provided) to highlight traits attributed to young adults.…”

Study 1 ( n = 475) employed an established experimental technique to investigate whether there were implications of metastereotypes for the communicative nature of interage interactions (IAIs) imagined by participants. Activating positive (rather than negative) metastereotypes indirectly predicted anticipated communicative outcomes of IAIs via positive affect, but only when participants personalized metastereotypes. Effect sizes were smaller than expected on the basis of previous research, however, and a second study was conducted to examine why this might be. Study 2 drew on a sample of 446 participants aged 18 to 30 years and compared the degree to which beliefs that older adults positively stereotyped young adults varied as a function not only of the valence of the metastereotype manipulation but also of how metastereotypes were manipulated. Specifically, the manipulation employed in Study 1 was compared against three alternatives. Results yielded support for the superiority of two of the alternative manipulations.

“…However, recent studies have collated counter-evidence that they do care about their reputation even when interacting with out-group members (Romano et al, 2017;Yazdi et al, 2020). Moreover, several studies have found that individuals sometimes help out-group members so that the out-group has a positive image of their own group (e.g., Hopkins et al, 2007;van Leeuwen & Jongh, 2015). Thus, past studies suggest that it is important 23 has not been directly studied.…”

Individuals sometimes prefer to anonymously donate money when they can publicly do so. In other words, they deliberately hide their costly prosocial behavior from a broad audience. While existing research has collated various evolutionary theories emphasizing the value of public prosocial behavior, it has not endeavored to address the preference for anonymous giving. The article discussed potential explanations for the preference and pointed to the importance of further scholarly discussion about the value and function of anonymous prosocial behavior.

The study proposes and tests the pathways from receiving welfare assistance to children's bullying victimization. Specifically, the study examines whether children's difficulty making friends and school disconnection mediate the association between welfare assistance receipt to children's bullying victimization. The 2019 National Survey of Children's Health dataset was used, and the sample consisted of 12,230 caregivers of adolescents, aged 12–17 years. A path model was utilized to explore the proposed pathways. Findings suggest that welfare assistance receipt was not significantly associated with children's bullying victimization. It was positively related to children's bullying victimization through the mediating roles of having difficulty making friends and school disconnection. Schools and communities need to create spaces where youth can connect with peers, which is an important part of their development.

The Effects of Negative Images on Young People's Willingness to Help Elderly People

Abstract: We examined the effect of confronting young people with an image depicting them as unhelpful on their willingness to help elderly people. As expected, helpfulness increased when this image reflected the elderly's view of young people but decreased when it reflected objective information.
