• Linking Perceived Unfairness to Physical Health: The Perceived Unfairness Model (2006, background): “For example, Matheson and Cole (2004) demonstrated that in reaction to an explicit social identity challenge, emotion-focused coping predicted sustained cortisol reactions, which may be linked to physical health (McEwen et al., 1997).”
• Religiosity as Identity: Toward an Understanding of Religion From a Social Identity Perspective (2010, background): “…or political violence), which ought to result in numerous negative psychological and physiological stress responses (Major & O’Brien, 2005; Matheson & Cole, 2004), highly identified individuals often experience the least distress (Branscombe et al., 1999; Haslam, O’Brien, Jetten,…”
• Intergroup threat and outgroup attitudes: a meta-analytic review. (2006, background): “For example, physiological measures have been used to examine reactions to outgroup members (Mendes, Blascovich, Lickel, & Hunter, 2002) and reactions to a threatened group identity (Matheson & Cole, 2004).”
• An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance. (2008, background): “Although there have been no studies that link increased cortisol reactivity to lower performance in a stereotype threat context, there has been some research suggesting a relationship between cortisol reactivity and social identity threat more generally (Matheson & Cole, 2004).”
• 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).”
• Turning social identity threat into challenge: Status stability and cardiovascular reactivity during inter-group competition (2009, background): “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).”
• It’s not your fault: The social costs of claiming discrimination on behalf of someone else (2012, background): “Attempts to measure threat directly through selfreport are often unsuccessful (Matheson & Cole, 2004; Steele & Aronson, 1995); thus, future research should attempt to measure whether people experience threat in response to a discrimination claimant by assessing implicit responses.”
• 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).”
• Social Identity, Health and Well-Being: An Emerging Agenda for Applied Psychology (2009, background): “Experimental work by Matheson and Cole (2004) provides a particularly elegant demonstration of this point.”
