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...
Gendered self-views across 62 countries: A test of competing models
Kosakowska-Berezecka; Bosson, J. K.; Jurek, P.; Besta, T.; Olech, M.; Vandello, J. A.; Bender, M.; Dandy, J.; Hoorens, V.; Jasinskaja-Lahti, I.Social 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. Conversely, evolutionary and self-construal theorists suggest that gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in more egalitarian countries, reflecting the greater autonomy support and flexible self-construction...
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...
Perceiving societal pressure to be happy is linked to poor well-being, especial...
Dejonckheere, E.; Rhee, J. J.; Baguma, P. K.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.; Castelain, T.; Costantini, G.; Dimdins, G.; Espinosa, A.Happiness is a valuable experience, and societies want their citizens to be happy. Although this societal commitment seems laudable, overly emphasizing positivity (versus negativity) may create an unattainable emotion norm that ironically compromises individual well-being. In this multi-national study (40 countries; 7443 participants), we investigate how societal pressure to be happy and not sad predicts emotio...
Social mindfulness predicts concern for nature and immigrants across 36 nations
Kirkland, K.; Van Lange, P. A. M.; Van Doesum, N. J.; Acevedo-Triana, C.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.People cooperate every day in ways that range from largescale contributions that mitigate climate change to simple actions such as leaving another individual with choice – known as social mindfulness. It is not yet clear whether and how these complex and more simple forms of cooperation relate. Prior work has found that countries with individuals who made more socially mindful choices were linked to a higher co...
Serial mediation model predicting covid-19 vaccines acceptance in Portugal: The...
Vauclair, C.- M.; Piccinelli, E.Ever since the Covid-19 vaccination rollout, governments have aimed for herd immunity. Yet, many countries are far from achieving this goal mainly due to vaccine refusal. Previous research has pointed to conspiracy beliefs and the role of trust in governments as predictors of vaccine acceptance, yet a more comprehensive explanatory model is still missing. Using data from a convenience sample of 377 residents in...
Milieu effects on the Dark Triad traits and their sex differences in 49 countries
Jonason, P. K.; Czerwiński, S. K.; Tobaldo, F.; Ramos-Diaz, J.; Adamovic, M.; Adams, B. G.; Ardi, A.; Baltatescu, S.; Cha, Y. S.; Chobthamkit, P.Most research on the development of personality traits like the Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) focuses on local effects like parenting style or attachment, but people live in a larger society that may set the stage for any local effects. Here we paired nation-level data on the traits from 49 nations with several milieu indicators (e.g., life expectancy, homicide rates) from thr...
Societal emotional environments and cross-cultural differences in life satisfac...
Kuba, K.; Yeung, J. C.; Capaldi, C.; Lun, V. M. -C.; Torres, T.; van Tilburg, W. A. P.; Bond, M. H.; Zelenski, J. M.; Haas, B. W.; Park, J.In this paper, we introduce the concept of ‘societal emotional environment’: the emotional climate of a society (operationalized as the degree to which positive and negative emotions are expressed in a society). Using data collected from 12,888 participants across 49 countries, we show how societal emotional environments vary across countries and cultural clusters, and we consider the potential importance of th...
Cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Portuguese breakthrough ...
Bernardes, S. F.; Matos, M.; Mourão, S.; Vauclair, C.- M.Breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) is a transient exacerbation of pain that occurs over persistent, stable, and adequately controlled cancer background pain. It is prevalent and bears severe consequences to patients' quality-of-life. The effective management of BTcP depends on fast and reliable (re)assessment. The Breakthrough pain Assessment Tool (BAT) is one of the most concise and reliable self-report instrumen...
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...
