Something to Lose and Nothing to Gain (2011, background): “This research demonstrates that being in an unstable high-status group or a stable low-status group leads to the greatest physiological indices of threat-based stress, relative to their stable- and unstable-status counterparts (Scheepers and Ellemers, 2005).”
Suffering from the possibility of status loss: Physiological responses to social identity threat in high status groups. (2009, background): “…a result, researchers have been searching for novel methodologies that may help them empirically assess the emergence of social identity threat independently from more explicit self-reports people show in response to their current situation (e.g., Matheson & Cole, 2004; Scheepers & Ellemers, 2005).”
Turning social identity threat into challenge: Status stability and cardiovascular reactivity during inter-group competition (2009, methodology): “Measuring Threat and Challenge Despite that threat has become one of the central explanatory constructs within social identity theory, the state of threat has seldom been measured more directly in relation to social identity (see Matheson & Cole, 2004 and Scheepers & Ellemers, 2005 for exceptions).”
The Minimal Group Paradigm and its maximal impact in research on social categorization (2016, background): “Scheepers and colleagues [33] documented that negative physiological arousal indicative of threat emerged when the status of the minimal group was threatened.”
Falling from great (and not-so-great) heights: how initial status position influences performance after status loss (2014, background): “Status loss is likely to be a threatening experience for people to overcome (Pettit et al., 2010; Scheepers et al., 2009; Scheepers & Ellemers, 2005), and stressful or threatening experiences can negatively impact performance quality.”
Psychological foundations of dynamic capabilities: Reflexion and reflection in strategic management (2009, background): “…importance of actors’ capabilities to regulate automatic and emotional reactions to self and social identity threats, especially heightened anxiety (Scheepers and Ellemers, 2005), which affect the ability to see new directions without prejudice and embrace changes that impinge upon extant salient…”
The threat vs. challenge of car parking for women: How self- and group affirmation affect cardiovascular responses (2011, background): “Social identity threat is a negative state that lowers psychological well-being and triggers physiological stress responses such as increased cortisol levels and blood pressure (Blascovich et al., 2001; Clark, Anderson, Clark, & Williams, 1999; Matheson & Cole, 2004; Scheepers & Ellemers, 2005).”
Power, stability of power, and creativity (2011, background): “They may become threatoriented (Scheepers & Ellemers, 2008), leading the powerful to become risk averse and more focused on preventing that someone takes over (some of their) privileges (Lammers, Galinsky, Gordijn & Otten, 2008; Maner et al., 2003).”
The Negative Effects of Social Capital in Organizations: A Review and Extension (2017, unknown): “Prior research has noted that high levels of anxiety inhibit the ability of individuals to visualize new directions and accept change that has NEGATIVE effects on salient identities (Scheepers and Ellemers 2005).”
