The present study examined the associations between identity styles (i.e., information-oriented, normative, and diffuse-avoidant styles) and the quality of relationships with peers (as indexed by friendship quality and loneliness) in a sample of 343 college stude...

Social psychological research on social identity and organisational citizenship has conceptualised commitment in terms of civic participation and more symbolic support (e.g. loyalty, taking pride in the group). However, littl...

Precursors undertaking T cell development shed their access to other pathways in a sequential process that begins before entry into the thymus and continues through many cell cycles afterward. This process involves three levels of regulatory change, in which the cells' intrinsic transcriptional regulatory factors, expression of signaling receptors (e.g., Notch1), and expression of distinct homi...
