Revisiting Cowgill's modernisation theory: Perceived social status of older adu...
Rudnev, M.; Vauclair, C.-M.Cowgill's modernisation theory stipulates that older people's social status is lower in societies with higher societal modernisation. The few existing studies reveal conflicting results showing either negative or positive associations. The current study follows up seminal cross-national research on the perceived social status of people in their seventies (PSS70) in a diverse set of countries. PSS70 was defined ...
Multiple jeopardy, national wealth and perceived discrimination: Subjective hea...
Vauclair, C.-M.; Rudnev, M.Objective: Belonging to social minority groups is detrimental for health outcomes, yet it is still unclear how multiple social minority statuses combine in their effect on health and whether perceived discrimination explains this link. Moreover, the moderating role of the societal context on the multiple social minority status-health link has never been tested. The current study employs a comprehensive conceptu...
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...
Moral expansiveness around the world: The role of societal factors across 36 co...
Kirkland, K.; Crimston, C. R.; Jetten, J.; Rudnev, M.; Acevedo-Triana, C.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.What are the things that we think matter morally, and how do societal factors influence this? To date, research has explored several individual-level and historical factors that influence the size of our ‘moral circles.' There has, however, been less attention focused on which societal factors play a role. We present the first multi-national exploration of moral expansiveness—that is, the size of people’s moral...
Measurement invariance of the moral vitalism scale across 28 cultural groups
Rudnev, M.; Vauclair, C.-M.; Aminihajibashi, S.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.; Castellanos Guevara, J. L.; Collier-Baker, E.; Crespo, C.; Eastwick, P.Moral vitalism refers to a tendency to view good and evil as actual forces that can influence people and events. The Moral Vitalism Scale had been designed to assess moral vitalism in a brief survey form. Previous studies established the reliability and validity of the scale in US-American and Australian samples. In this study, the cross-cultural comparability of the scale was tested across 28 different cultura...
Measurement invariance of the burnout assessment tool (BAT) across seven cross-...
de Beer, L. T.; Schaufeli, W. B.; De Witte, H.; Hakanen, J. J.; Shimazu, A.; Glaser, J.; Seubert, C.; Bosak, J.; Sinval, J.; Rudnev, M.The aim of this study was to investigate the measurement invariance of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) across seven cross-national representative samples. In this study, burnout was modeled as a second-order factor in line with the conceptual definition as a syndrome. The combined sample consisted of 10,138 participants from countries in Europe and Japan. The data were treated as ordered categorical in nature...
Relations among higher order values around the world
Rudnev, M.; Magun, V.; Schwartz, S.The circular structure of basic human values is the core element of the Schwartz value theory. The structure demonstrated high robustness across cultures. However, the specific correlations between values and the differences in these correlations across countries have received little attention. The current research investigated the within-country correlations between the four higher order values. We estimated t...
Public support for the right to euthanasia: Impact of traditional religiosity a...
Rudnev, M.; Savelkaeva, A.This article takes a postmodernization perspective on support for the right to euthanasia by treating it as an expression of a process of value change, as a preference for quality over quantity of life. Using the data from the fifth wave of the World Values Survey, this study attempts to answer the question of whether the mass support for the right to euthanasia is an expression of autonomy values rather than j...
The link between personal values and frequency of drinking depends on cultural ...
Rudnev, M.; Vauclair, C.-M.The increasing availability of large cross-national datasets enables researchers to integrate micro and macro levels of relations between human values and behavior. Particularly interesting are interactions between personal and cultural levels which can demonstrate to what extent a specific behavior is affected by individual values and cultural context. In this study, we aimed to shed light on this issue by ana...
