Although large international studies have found consistent patterns of sex differences in personality traits among adults (i.e., women scoring higher on most facets), less is known about cross-cultural adolescent and the role culture age shaping them. The present study examines NEO Personality Inventory-3 (McCrae, Costa, & Martin, 2005) informant ratings adolescents from 23 cultures (N = 4,850), investigates as sources variability adolescents' personality. effect for Neuroticism (with...
Irrational beliefs encompass a broad set of that lack verifiable empirical evidence and contradict scientific principles, often grouped into conspiratorial, pseudoscientific, paranormal domains. This paper investigated whether these are rooted in cognitive biases. Across four studies, low socioeconomic status, right-wing political orientation, religiousness accounted for substantial portion irrational variance. However, biases consistently contributed incrementally to their prediction, with...
A growing body of evidence suggests that questionable health behaviors- not following medical recommendations and resorting to non-evidence based treatments - are more frequent than previously thought, they seem have strong psychological roots. We thus aimed to: 1) document the lifetime prevalence intentional non-adherence (iNAR) use traditional, complementary alternative medicine (TCAM) in Serbia 2) understand how relate ‘distal’ predictors personality traits thinking dispositions,...
Intuition often guides our thinking effectively, but it can also lead to consequential reasoning errors, underpinning poor decisions and biased judgments. Little is known about how people globally self-correct such intuitive errors what enhances their correction. Defying prevailing models of reasoning, recent research suggests that spontaneously correct only a few during deliberation; however, enhancing error monitoring motivating further effort should increase Here, we study whether these...
Despite insufficient evidence base for some of its practices, traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine (TCAM) use is rapidly growing; psychological roots this trend are still under-studied. Based on previous research, input from TCAM practitioners, content analysis online media, we developed a comprehensive instrument to measure the administered it an community sample (N=583). Factor indicated four domains use, in line with theoretical taxonomies: Alternative medical systems,...
Over the past decade, open science movement has transformed research landscape, though its impact largely been confined to developed countries. Recently, researchers from developing countries have called for a redesign of better align with their unique contexts. However, raising awareness alone is insufficient—practical actions are required drive meaningful and inclusive change. In this work, we analyze opportunities offered by explore macro- micro-level barriers in face when engaging these...
Objective: The Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT; Rey, 1964) is a widely used neuropsychological instrument that has not been validated in Serbia. Our aim was to determine its internal consistency, convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity.Method: Two hundred subjects from the general population Serbia (53% female; Mage = 43.45 years, SDage 16.32) completed battery of tests via oral examination. In addition RAVLT, participants three working memory tasks: Digit Span, Ordering,...
People resort to various questionable health practices preserve or regain - they intentionally do not adhere medical recommendations (e.g. self-medicate modify the prescribed therapies; iNAR), use traditional/complementary/alternative (TCAM) medicine. As retrospective reports overestimate adherence and suffer from recall desirability bias, we tracked variations in daily behaviors compared them their retrospectively reported lifetime use. We also preregistered explored relations a wide set of...

The usual distinction between rational and intuitive thinking styles is still a subject of scientific debate, as there no consensus about their nature, mutual relations to other personality constructs. Cognitive-experiential self-theory (CEST) proposes experiential original constructs not fully explainable by five-factor models. Following CEST, we aimed examine: 1. uniqueness dimensions relating them constructs: trait emotional intelligence (TEI) HEXACO; 2. Thinking style profiles defined...

Abstract. This meta-analytic study investigates the relations between Disintegration-like phenomena (i.e., various aspects of symptomatology with prefix “schizo-,” both at clinical and subclinical level) traits Psychobiological Model Personality (PBMP). The empirically based benchmark for assuming distinctness trait Disintegration was .30. sample included 26 manuscripts 30 studies 424 effect sizes. By computing inverse sampling variance weighted mean correlation coefficients under a...
Previous studies that used the Orientation for Teaching Survey (OTS), assessing motivation teaching profession, yielded inconsistent results regarding OTS?s factorial structure. Since these focused on pre-service teachers with limited experience, our main goal was to assess psychometric properties and validity of OTS in-service teachers. An additional compare male female teachers, working in primary secondary schools. The administered 384 Serbia. After confirmatory factor analysis...
