Age-based stereotype threat and negative outcomes in the workplace : exploring the role of identity integration (2018)
Journal Article

Previous studies have shown that the presence of age-based stereotypes in the workplace is often associated with lower levels of work engagement and adjustment among older employees. This study examines possible mediators and moderators of this relat...

How collective action produces psychological change and how that change endures over time : a case study of an environmental campaign (2018)
Journal Article

Previous research on collective action has suggested that both intra‐ and intergroup interactions are important in producing psychological change. In this study, we examine how these two forms of interaction relate to each other over time. We present...
