Gendered self-views across 62 countries: a test of competing models
Kosakowska-Berezecka, Natasza; Bosson, Jennifer K.; Jurek, Paweł; Besta, Tomasz; Olech, Michał; Vandello, Joseph A.; Bender, Michael; Dandy, JustineSocial role theory posits that binary gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in less egalitarian countries, reflecting these countries’ more pronounced sex-based power divisions.

Given that subtle differences in information framing can have meaningful effects on behavior, behavioral science research highlights a pressing question: Is it more effective to frame COVID-19 health messages in terms of potential losses (e.g., "If you do not practice these st...
A multi-country test of brief reappraisal interventions on emotions during the ...
Wang, Ke; Goldenberg, Amit; Dorison, Charles A; Miller, Jeremy K; Uusberg, Andero; Lerner, Jennifer S; Gross, James J; Agesin, Bamikole BamikoleThe COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive emotions globally.

To reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, we tested the effectiveness of reappraisal, an emotion-regulation strategy that modifies how one thinks about a situation. Participants from 87 countries and regions (n = 21,...

Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of gender equalit...
