With multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA), which the standard practice for testing MI, there are widely acknowledged limitations, especially with a large number groups strict difficult or impossible achieve. New methods, specifically Alignment optimization, gives increased flexibility and new opportunities make comparisons across This article compares MG-CFA optimization MI in three demonstrative...
Abstract The present research investigates the psychological dynamics underlying displaced revenge. We examine (1) effect of entitativity on revenge tendencies, including potential mediators this effect, and (2) conditions under which taking is satisfying for avengers. In three studies, we show that (a) perpetrator group predicts tendency to take via perceptions vengeful action effective in delivering a message original perpetrator, (b) when continues exist its form, but not has left or...
Victim sensitivity (VS)—a personality trait reflecting the anxious expectation of being exploited—reliably predicts egoistic behavior in interpersonal situations. Here, we look at intragroup situations and investigate whether even one highly victim-sensitive individual can have a detrimental effect solidarity cooperativeness on entire group. Two studies—one field study with community residents from Philippine villages who played game (N 800 individuals, 30 villages) lab participants...
Much research on moral judgment is centered dilemmas in which deontological perspectives (i.e., emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are conflict with utilitarian judgements following the greater good defined through consequences). A central finding of this field Greene et al. showed that psychological situational factors (e.g., intent agent, or physical contact between agent victim) play an important role people’s use versus considerations when making decisions.

Much psychological research depends on participants' diligence in filling out materials such as surveys. However, not all participants are motivated to respond attentively, which leads unintended issues with data quality, known careless responding. Our question is: how do different modes of collection—paper/pencil, computer/web-based, and smartphone—affect vs. "careless responding" tendencies and, thus, quality? Results from prior studies suggest that collection produce a comparable...
Abstract Victim sensitivity (VS) is a personality trait conceptualized as the expectation of being exploited by others. Previous research has shown that one highly victim‐sensitive group member can negatively impact entire group's outcomes. In present research, we investigate boundary conditions and mechanisms underlying this effect. Study 1 ( N = 134 individuals, 40 groups) shows VS score most predicts performance, particularly when collective conscientiousness high. 2 135 45 groups include...
Abstract Being duped is an aversive experience which people are motivated to avoid. For this reason, especially with a high fear of exploitation (i.e., in victim sensitivity; VS) often behave pre-emptively selfish and defensive socially uncertain situations. Because the cognitive motivational processes underlying such defensiveness have received little attention so far, we conducted two studies aiming close research gap. In Study 1 ( n = 84), used virtual reality technology examine whether...
These two studies tested how supervisors' use of coercive or reward power influences individuals' creativity and examined whether subordinates' need for achievement affects this process. Dyad data were collected from at time points. The indicated that affected identification with supervisor thereby enhanced subordinate creativity. Interestingly, these results suggest the functional effects using coercion are positive if punishments contingent upon performance. pattern showed fear failure...
