About the Book

A common conception in psychology and sociology is that group members who violate norms threaten the group, and so they are punished and rejected by other group members. Recent research, however, has demonstrated that group members often respond to norm deviates with mocking, derisive responses that reflect deviates' lower status in the group. This derisive, status-based response makes people feel good. The present research explored these two responses to deviance, concentrating on contexts and types of deviance that might evoke negative affect and rejection. Two studies examined how context plays a role in determining people's affective reactions to deviates, and a third study examined how different types of deviance evoke different affective reactions from group members. Study 1 considered political deviance in the context of the 2008 presidential election and demonstrated that political deviates were always devalued by group members, but they only evoked negative affect when the political context made them a threat to group outcomes. Study 2 examined how competitive contexts affect reactions to conformists and deviates, demonstrating that, although self-reported ratings of targets did not differ across contexts, competing against conformists made participants feel worse than cooperating with them, while competition and cooperation with deviates tended to have the opposite effect. Finally, Study 3 looked at status- and rejection-based processes in reactions to deviates who are either misfits or dissidents within the group. This study demonstrated that status-based, derisive smiling toward both types of deviates was associated with positive hedonic outcomes, but that dissidents also evoked devaluation and negative affect. I discuss this mixed response to deviance and suggest areas for future research on how group members regulate their relationships with deviates and conformists in their group.
