Disadvantaged group members may feel either anger or fear towards unfair treatment of them, usually implying an intent of of approach or avoidance. However, when communicating with ingroup and outgroup members, those disadvantaged group members can express anger and fear consistently or inconsistently for certain purposes. For example, despite expressing fear with their ingroup, disadvantaged group members may inconsistently express anger with outgroup members in order put pressure on the outgroup. In contrast, despite expressing anger with their ingroup, they may express fear with the outgroup in order to seek sympathy and help. The current research aims to investigate the ingroup (disadvantaged) and outgroup (advantaged) reactions to such consistent (vs. inconsistent) expression of anger and fear. We will manipuate a disadvantaged group member's emotion expressions (anger vs. fear; with ingroup vs. outgroup) and ask about both advantaged and disadvantaged group members' willingness to help and participant collective action for him. We will also measure social evaluations and emotions as potential mediators.

The current study aims to understand how high (vs. low) inequality can influence individuals' preferences for a competent versus warm political leader. The potential mediating role of regulatory focus of power will be explored.

This study aims to understand if joint collective action (vs. disadvantaged group's collective action vs. inaction) is more effective in increasing advantaged group members' concession and solidarity.

The current study mainly aims to investigate how different social norms (i.e., ingroup norm & outgroup norm) interact with ideology in affecting collective action intentions.

The current study aims to answer how a trending norm of increasing equality (vs. decreasing equality vs. stability) interact with ideology to affect the threat/challenge reaction to migrants.

The present study aims to understand how people perceive social targets who use falsely communicate empathetic FOEs or truthfully communicate unempathetic FOEs in terms of morality, sociability, and competence under the social evaluation framework.

The present study aims to understand how people perceive social targets who use falsely communicate empathetic FOEs or truthfully communicate unempathetic FOEs in terms of morality, sociability, and competence under the social evaluation framework, and investigate how people form overall impressions of these social targets.

The current study aims to understand how high (vs. low) inequality can influence individuals' preferences for a competent versus moral political leader. The potential mediating roles of power abuse and caring will be explored.

The current study examines how voter's belonging to a high-status (vs. low-status) group influences their voting preference for competent (vs. warm) political candidates and how candidate social status might moderate this relationship.

The current study examines how voter's belonging to a high-status (vs. low-status) group influences their voting preference for political candidates of different traits and how candidate social status might moderate this relationship.

The current study examines how voter's belonging to a high-status (vs. low-status) group influences their voting preference for competent (vs. warm) political candidates and how candidate social status might moderate this relationship.

The current study aims to investigate how different types of social norms (i.e., norm of equality versus norm of harmony) of either the whole society or the ingroup are associated with collective action intentions of racial minorities. In the current study, we will also examine the whole society's norm x ideology and ingroup norm x ideology interactions separately, as well as the whole society's norm x ingroup norm x ideology three-way interaction.

The present study aims to bring the insights from integrated threat theory in intergroup relations research into consumer behaviour research by experimentally examining how realistic and symbolic threats affect Chinese consumers’ attitudes towards Chinese and Western products.

The present study aims to investigate how norm of equality (vs. inequality vs. control) and political ideology (general, economic, social and status-quo dimensions) interact in affecting prejudice towards migrants. Two types of threats, i.e., perceived threat from the outgroup and perceived threat of social change are examined as possible mediators. Need for social approval is measured as a possible moderator. This study aims to replicate and extend our previous study (10.17605/OSF.IO/8D6EW) and test a competing explanation by introducing a new control condition (in addition to the initial empty control).

This is an experiment examining how norm of equality and ideology interact in affecting prejudice towards migrants.

This study plans to manipulate pandemic severity and authority’s promotion, aiming to create a pandemic context similar to COVID-19 with an experimental approach and provide causal evidence for which factor has a larger influence on people’s self-protection behaviors.

The current study aims to investigate how different types of social norms (i.e., norm of equality versus norm of harmony) of the ingroup are associated with collective action intentions of racial minorities.

This concerns a registration for additional data collection for study 'The effect of equality/inequality norm on prejudice towards migrants and the moderating role of ideology' (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/8D6EW), as this was our first time collecting data through Samplify, and the data was of poorer quality than we had anticipated. The current study aims to investigate how norm of equality (vs. inequality vs. control) and political ideology (general, economic and social dimensions) interact in affecting prejudice towards migrants.

This present study aims to investigate the effect of ingroup glorification (vs. criticism) on consumers' willingness to purchase ingroup and outgroup products. Collective narcissism and quality evaluation of ingroup and outgroup products as outcome variables/ possible mediators will be explored.

The present study aims to bring the insights from integrated threat theory, extended contact hypothesis and intergroup emotions theory in intergroup relations research into consumer behaviour research by experimentally examining how threat to collective psychological ownership affects Chinese consumers’ attitudes towards Chinese and Western products, and the moderating effect of knowledge of intergroup contact and the mediating role of intergroup emotions will also be examined.

The present study aims to bring the insights from integrated threat theory and intergroup emotions theory in intergroup relations research into consumer behaviour research by experimentally examining how realistic and symbolic threats affect Chinese consumers’ attitudes towards Chinese and Western products. Product type will be examined as a moderator.

This study is to investigate how pandemic severity and authority promotion influence people's self-protection behaviors between collectivist and individualist cultures.

The present study aims to bring the insights from social identity theory in intergroup relations research into consumer behaviour research by experimentally examining how distinctiveness threat (intergroup similarity) affects Chinese consumers’ support for China Chic and support for Western fashion when considering buying a product.

The present study aims to bring the insights from integrated threat theory and intergroup emotions theory in intergroup relations research into consumer behaviour research by experimentally examining how realistic and symbolic threats affect Chinese consumers’ attitudes towards Chinese and Western products.

The present study aims to investigate how norm of equality (vs. inequality vs. control) and political ideology (general, economic and social dimensions) interact in affecting prejudice towards migrants.

It is the second wave data collection for our already pre-registered study titled "The effect of intergroup threat on Chinese consumers’ willingness to purchase Chinese and Western products: the moderating role of product type"

The current study aims to investigate how group-based pride (vs. control) are associated with beliefs about ingroup and outgroup conspiracy theories.

This study is to investigate how pandemic severity and authority promotion affect people's anti-infection behaviors among people in collectivist versus individualist cultures and with interdependent versus independent self-construal, respectively.
