Agentic collective narcissism and communal collective narcissism: Do they predi...
Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Sawicki, A.; Piotrowski, J.; Lifshin, U.; Kretchner, M.; Skowronski, J. J.; Sedikides, C.; Jonason, P. K.; Adamovic, M.In a multinational study (61 countries; N = 15,039), we examined how collective narcissists, both agentic (ACN) and communal (CCN), reacted cognitively (through endorsement of unfounded conspiracy and health beliefs) and behaviorally (via prevention, hoarding, and prosociality) to the pandemic. Higher ACN and CCN predicted greater endorsement of COVID-19 unfounded beliefs and higher likelihood of having recentl...
The role of cultural heterogeneity in strengthening the link between family rel...
Li, L. M. W.; Lun, V. M.-C.; Bond, M. H.; Yeung, J. C.; Igou, E. R.; Haas, B. W.; Stoyanova, S.; Maricchiolo, F.; Zelenski, J. M.; Vauclair, C.-M.We argue that the importance of family relationships for individual well-being varies across societies as a function of a society’s degree of cultural heterogeneity. To examine the role of family relationships, we analyzed the responses from 13,009 participants in 50 societies on their life satisfaction across societies varying in their levels of historical and contemporary cultural heterogeneity. Such heteroge...
Grandiose narcissism, unfounded beliefs, and behavioral reactions during the CO...
Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Sawicki, A.; Piotrowski, J.; Lifshin, U.; Kretchner, M.; Skowronski, J. J.; Sedikides, C.; Jonason, P. K.; Adamovic, M.A theoretical perspective on grandiose narcissism suggests four forms of it (sanctity, admiration, heroism, rivalry) and states that these forms conduce to different ways of thinking and acting. Guided by this perspective, we examined in a multinational and multicultural study (61 countries; N = 15,039) how narcissism forms are linked to cognitions and behaviors prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As expected, d...
Introduction to a culturally sensitive measure of well-being: Combining life sa...
Kuba, K.; Haas, B. W.; Igou, E. R.; Kosiarczyk, A.; Kocimska-Bortnowska, A.; Kwiatkowska, A.; Lun, V. M.-C.; Maricchiolo, F.; Park, J.; Šolcová, I. P.How can one conclude that well-being is higher in country A than country B, when well-being is being measured according to the way people in country A think about well-being? We address this issue by proposing a new culturally sensitive method to comparing societal levels of well-being. We support our reasoning with data on life satisfaction and interdependent happiness focusing on individual and family, collec...
Belief in a zero-sum game and subjective well-being across 35 countries
Różycka-Tran, J.; Piotrowski, J. P.; Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Jurek, P.; Osin, E. N.; Adams, B. G.; Ardi, R.; Baltatescu, S.; Bhomi, A. B.; Bogomaz, S.This article presents a short research report on the relationship between perceived antagonism in social relations measured using the Belief in a Zero-Sum Game (BZSG) scale, life satisfaction, and positive and negative affect. Given that individuals who believe that life is like a zero-sum game are likely to perceive their daily interactions with others as unfair, we expected that individuals with high BZSG exp...
Personal life satisfaction as a measure of societal happiness is an individuali...
Kuba, K.; Park, J.; Kocimska-Zych, A.; Kosiarczyk, A.; Selim, H. A.; Wojtczuk-Turek, A.; Haas, B. W.; Uchida, Y.; Torres, T; Capaldi, C.; Bond, M. H.Numerous studies document that societal happiness is correlated with individualism, but the nature of this phenomenon remains understudied. In the current paper, we address this gap and test the reasoning that individualism correlates with societal happiness because the most common measure of societal happiness (i.e., country-level aggregates of personal life satisfaction) is individualism-themed. With the data...
