Seeing the human being: the humanity-esteem construct

Luke Gregory R. Maio

Past research on the esteem construct has examined liking for the self (i.e., self-esteem; Blascovich & Tomaka, 1991) and one’s social group (i.e., collective self-esteem; Luhtanen & Crocker, 1992). The present research examines liking for people in general (i.e., humanity-esteem), which taps a third important level of the social self-concept (e.g., Turner, 1985). Several studies investigated the structure, antecedents, and consequences of humanity-esteem. Results indicated that humanity-esteem (a) consists of both affective and cognitive components, (b) is affected by exposure to media images of people upholding or threatening universal social values, and (c) affects discrimination between social groups. We conclude that humanity-esteem is a useful construct for understanding human behaviour.

Perceptions of values over time and why they matter

Journal of Personality (2020)

Colin Foad Gregory R. Maio Paul H. P. Hanel

Extant research mostly treats values as being stable over time. Our research examined how people perceive values over time and whether or not these perceptions reflect motivational tensions between theoretically opposing values. We also assessed the viability of examining values over time to predict well-being and future intentions.Four studies (N = 934) asked participants to report their values across past, present, and future settings. These temporal trajectories were analyzed across the four types of higher-order values: self-transcendence, self-enhancement, openness, and conservation. Studies 3 and 4 assessed associations with well-being. Study 4 assessed associations with self-reported behavior over time.Across all four studies, participants perceived their values as being dynamic over time. Younger participants' trajectories did not reflect the motivational conflicts typically reported in values research, but Study 4 showed potential awareness in older age groups. Variability in temporal values correlated with well-being, particularly for openness values. Future values predicted future intentions, even when controlling for present values.This novel method of examining values provides new understanding into how people perceive the pursuit of values over time. Additionally, we show two ways that a temporal values measure can offer new insights into well-being and future intentions.

The Role of Attitudinal Ambivalence in Susceptibility to Consensus Information

Basic and Applied Social Psychology (2001)

Gordon Hodson Gregory R. Maio Victoria M. Esses

The role of attitudinal ambivalence and 9 other attitude properties in determining responsiveness to consensus information were examined in this experiment. We expected attitude ambivalence, but not the other attitude properties, to moderate the effects of consensus information on final attitudes expressed. After completing initial measures of attitudes toward social welfare, participants watched a videotaped debate between a prosocial and an antisocial welfare debater. Participants then provided an initial evaluation of the debate, were exposed to debate evaluations from alleged fellow participants supporting either the prosocial or antisocial welfare debater, and reported their subsequent attitudes toward the debate and toward social welfare. As predicted, individuals who initially held ambivalent attitudes toward social welfare reported postconsensus welfare attitudes that were consistent with those of their supposed peers. Participants low in ambivalence reported attitudes contrary to the consensus information from peers. Similar effects were found only for 1 other attitude property, attitude embeddedness, and were reduced to nonsignificance when the effects of ambivalence and embeddedness were examined simultaneously. The role of attitudinal ambivalence in moderating responsiveness to consensus information is discussed in the context of media publication of poll results.
