An Integrative Definition and Framework to Study Gossip
Group & Organization Management (2021)
We systematically reviewed of all definition of gossip in the scientific literature. First, we define gossip as a sender communicating to a receiver about a target, who is absent or unaware of the content. Second, we propose an integrative to study gossip as varying in valence and formality.

Gossip about Coronavirus: Infection status and norm adherence shape social responses
Group Processes & Intergroup Relations (2021)
We presented participants with gossip relevant to the Coronavirus pandemic. Results showed people tended to believe gossip and that gossip influenced behavioral intentions to avoid and punish targets of gossip as well as the perception of targets. We conclude that gossip, while potentially unreliable, could affect how people treat group members.

Nasty and Noble Notes: Interdependence Structures Drive Self-Serving Gossip
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (2023)
We found that the interdependence between the parties involved in gossip (sender, receiver, and target) shapes whether gossip is more likely trustworthy versus untrustworthy. In a scenario study and an interactive experiment, gossip was more likely false when senders were interdependent with targets.

What Matters Most in Supporting Cooperation, the Gossip Content or the Gossiper’s Intention? Simulating Motive Interpretation in Gossip Dynamics
Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (2023)
Gossip enhances decision-making and adaptation but can have negative consequences if misinterpreted; our model shows that cooperation can be sustained if individuals disregard unreliable gossipers.

Punishing or praising gossipers: How people interpret the motives driving negative gossip shapes its consequences
Social and Personality Psychology Compass (2023)
[shared first authorship] Negative gossip fosters cooperation, but gossipers face social costs; our study shows that receivers’ interpretations of gossip motives influence their trust in gossipers, with those better at overcoming intuition more accurately identifying pro-social motives, leading to greater trust.

The Importance of Conceptual Clarity and Methodological Diversity for Studying Confidential Gossip – a Response and Addition to Fan et al. (2021)
Collabra: Psychology (2024)
Fan, Grey, and Kärreman (2021) highlight the unique role of confidential gossip in organizations, but we propose three amendments: define gossip clearly, predict how confidentiality influences gossip dynamics, and employ diverse research methods to better understand its impact.

The Cooperative and Competitive Functions of Gossip
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Repository (2024)
This dissertation defines gossip as “a sender communicating to a receiver about a target who is absent,” exploring its characteristics of valence and formality. It shows that gossip can promote cooperation through reputation building and positive/negative feedback, while also serving competitive functions by manipulating impressions for selfish gain, with context and interdependence structures determining its function.
