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...
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...
Structure of Dark Triad dirty dozen across eight world regions
Rogoza, R.; Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Jonason, P. K.; Piotrowski, J.; Campbell, K. W.; Gebauer, J. E.; Maltby, J.; Sedikides, C.; Adamovic, M.The Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) has garnered intense attention over the past 15 years. We examined the structure of these traits' measure-the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD)-in a sample of 11,488 participants from three W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., North America, Oceania, Western Europe) and five non-W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., Asia, Middle East, non-Western Europe, South America, sub-Saharan Africa) ...
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...
Measurement invariance of Personal Well-Being Index (PWI-8) across 26 countries
Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Piotrowski, J. P.; Cieciuch, J.; Adams, B. G.; Osin, E. N.; Ardi, R.; Baltatescu, S.; Bhomi, A. L.; Clinton, A.This report examines the measurement invariance of the Personal Well-being Index with 8 items (PWI-8). University students (N = 5731) from 26 countries completed the measure either through paper and pencil or electronic mode. We examined uni-dimensional structure of PWI and performed a Multi-group CFA to assess the measurement invariance across the 26 countries, using conventional approach and the alignment pro...
Belief in a just world and well-being of bullies, victims, and defenders: a stu...
Correia, I.; Kamble, S. V.; Dalbert, C.Previous findings characterize the belief in a just world (BJW) as a valuable resource for maintaining positive well-being and assimilating injustice. The present cross-sectional study applies just world research to school bullying and tested the hypotheses that the personal BJW is positively correlated with subjective well-being, here particularly school distress. In this paper the generalizability of this ass...
