Instant messaging and relationship satisfaction across different ages and cultures
Vauclair, C.-M.; Rudnev, M.; Hofhuis, J.; Liu, J. H.Research suggests that using IM is generally beneficial for maintaining personal relationships, yet well-being benefits are likely to be conditional on micro- and macro-level variables. This study investigates the link between IM use and relationship satisfaction across age groups using survey data collected from 19 countries (N = 20,358, age range 18-94, Mage = 41.0, SD = 14.6). The multilevel regression resul...
Unpacking all-inclusive superordinate categories: Comparing correlates and cons...

Yet it remains unclear whether the use of different categories may account for different psychological processes and attitudinal or behavioral outcomes. Two studies extended previous research by comparing how these categories are cognitively...
What does it mean to be a “citizen of the world”: A prototype approach
Carmona, M.; Guerra, R.; Hofhuis, J.The superordinate social category “citizen of the world” is used by laypeople and scholars to embody several constructs (e.g., cosmopolitanism; global identity and citizenship), and prior research suggests that the concept is better represented as a prototype rather than having a clear-cut definition.

However, different labels and measures have been used to examine the effects of these all-inclusive superordinate identities, without a sys...
