Workplace youngism: A scoping review of agism toward younger workers
Schmitz, S.; Rosa, M. H.; Patient, D. L.; Vauclair, C.-M.; Mariano, J.Workplace agism research has primarily focused on older workers, in spite of the fact that agism can also target younger workers. Given the growing body of research on workplace youngism (agism toward younger workers) and its need for assessment and synthesis, we conducted a scoping review aimed at mapping the range and characteristics of the workplace youngism literature. Unlike previous reviews, we focused ex...
Contextualizing the manifestation of gendered colonialist microaggressions: A q...
Piccinelli, E.; Vauclair, C.-M.; Madeira, F.Over the last decade, the framework of microaggressions has been adopted to examine subtle manifestations of discrimination from the perspective of socially disadvantaged groups. However, the microaggressions literature is strongly U.S.-centered, and very few studies have been conducted in other societal contexts, such as European countries characterized by distinct migration patterns and post-colonial intergro...
Love, culture, and well-being: How values moderate the link between relationshi...
Śmieja, M.; Walczak, A.; Cacek, J.; Górski, M. R.; Bond, M. H.; Gjoneska, B.; Hussain, M. A.; Joshanloo, M.; Szumowska, E.; Teyssier, J.This study examines the interplay between relationship status, well-being, and values across 57 countries. We hypothesized that individuals in romantic relationships would report higher well-being (measured as happiness, harmony, and meaning in life) compared to singles. We anticipated that in cultures prioritizing relationships, the benefits of being coupled would be amplified, while in societies emphasizing a...
Happiness maximization is a WEIRD way of living
Kuba, K.; Kostoula, O.; van Tilburg, W. A. P.; Mosca, O.; Lee, J. H.; Maricchiolo, F.; Kosiarczyk, A.; Kocimska-Bortnowska, A.; Torres, C.; Hitokoto, H.Psychological science tends to treat subjective well-being and happiness synonymously. We start from the assumption that subjective well-being is more than being happy to ask the fundamental question: What is the ideal level of happiness? From a cross-cultural perspective, we propose that the idealization of attaining maximum levels of happiness may be especially characteristic of Western, educated, industrial,...
A cross-cultural study on the association between societal conditions and the i...
Lou, X.; Haas, B. W.; Zelenski, J. M.; Xing, C.; Vignoles, V. L.; Vauclair, C.-M.; van Tilburg, W. A. P.; Uchida, Y.; Teyssier, J.; Torres, C.Although most people aspire to be happy, the extent to which people pursue or idealize experiencing high levels of happiness does differ according to sociocultural context. This study was designed to elucidate which societal and cultural indicators are the most conducive to fostering high levels of happiness idealization. To accomplish this goal, we measured levels of happiness idealization for 11,170 participa...
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...
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...
Conservatism negatively predicts creativity: A study across 28 countries
Groyecka-Bernard, A.; Sorokowski, P.; Karwowski, M.; Roberts, S. C.; Aavik, T.; Akello, G.; Alm, C.; Amjad, N.; Asao, K.; Atama, C. S.; Duyar, D. A.Previous studies have found a negative relationship between creativity and conservatism. However, as these studies were mostly conducted on samples of homogeneous nationality, the generalizability of the effect across different cultures is unknown. We addressed this gap by conducting a study in 28 countries. Based on the notion that attitudes can be shaped by both environmental and ecological factors, we hypoth...
Covid-19 lockdown loneliness and mental health: The mediating role of basic nee...
van der Sloot, R. J. A.; Vauclair, C.-M.Covid-19 and its lockdown measures have uniquely challenged people’s wellbeing and numerous studies have been carried out to understand the effects of such lockdown measures on mental health. Yet, to date most of these studies do not assess psychological pathways and conditional effects. By drawing on self-determination theory, the present study tested whether the relationship between lockdown loneliness and me...
