The relation between religiosity and well-being is one of the most researched topics in psychology religion, yet directionality robustness effect remains debated. Here, we adopted a many-analysts approach to assess this based on new cross-cultural dataset (N=10,535 participants from 24 countries). We recruited 120 analysis teams investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-being, (2) self-reported depends perceived cultural norms religion (i.e., it considered normal...
Genetic relatedness is a fundamental determinant of social behavior across species.Over the last few decades, researchers have been investigating proximate psychological mechanisms that enable humans to assess their genetic others.Much this work has focused on identifying cues predicted in ancestral environments and examining how they regulate kin-directed behaviors.Despite progress, many basic questions remain unanswered.Here we address three these questions.First, examine replicability...
Why is disgust sensitivity associated with socially conservative political views? Is it because ideologies mitigate the risks of infectious disease, whether by promoting out-group avoidance or reinforcing norms that sustain antipathogenic practices? Or might be promote moral standards advance a long-term, as opposed to short-term, sexual strategy? Recent attempts test these two explanations have yielded differing results and conflicting interpretations. Here, we contribute literature...
Researchers commonly conceptualize forgiveness as a rich complex of psychological changes involving attitudes, emotions, and behaviors.Psychometric work with the measures developed to capture this conceptual richness, however, often points simpler picture dimensions in which takes place.In an effort better unite theory measurement, we evaluate several psychometric models for common forgiveness.In doing so, study people from United States Japan understand both non-close close relationships.In...
Does religion promote prosocial behaviour? Despite numerous publications that seem to answer this question affirmatively, divergent results from recent meta-analyses and pre-registered replication efforts suggest the issue is not yet settled. Uncertainty lingers around (i) whether effects of religious cognition on behaviour were obtained through implicit cognitive processes, explicit processes or both (ii) increases generosity only among people disinclined share with anonymous strangers....
Abstract Psychologists are uniquely positioned to help with our collective obligation advance scientific knowledge in ways that individuals flourish. Growth mindsets may offer one such tool for improving lives, yet some research questions the potential replicate key findings. The aims current work explain mixed results and outline improve intervention impact. To reach these goals, we first a brief overview of links between growth psychological flourishing. Second, theories causal mechanisms...
Robust evidence supports the importance of apologies for promoting forgiveness. Yet less is known about how exert their effects. Here, we focus on potential to promote forgiveness by way increasing perceptions relationship value. We used a method directly testing these causal claims manipulating both independent variable and proposed mediator. Namely, use 2 (Apology: yes vs. no) × (Value: high low) concurrent double-randomization design test whether cause affecting same pathway as In...
Believing anxiety can change is a predictor of wellbeing, in part, because such beliefs – known as growth mindsets predict weaker threat appraisals, which turn improves psychological functioning. However, feeling sense personal facilitates social activism, and thus may undermine action. Across six studies (N = 1761), including cross-sectional experimental approaches (3 pre-registered), flourishing, resilience, grit. We find that indirectly reduced activism against threats through are...

Abstract Belief systems, which can feed, or diminish, stigma are important predictors of poverty reduction efforts. In the current work, we focused on mindsets, beliefs about changeability (growth mindsets) stability (fixed level in society. We conducted six studies, two preregistered, using both cross‐sectional ( N = 763) and experimental methods 1361). First, found support for our prediction that mindsets serve to justify economic inequities. To this end, explored relationship these with...
Does religious cognition motivate generosity toward strangers? Divergent results from recent meta-analyses and pre-registered replication efforts suggest the issue is not yet settled. Additional uncertainty lingers around whether (a) effects of on prosocial behaviour obtain through implicit cognitive processes, explicit or both; (b) might increase only among people; (c) people otherwise disinclined to share with anonymous strangers. Here we report two experiments designed address these...
Principles of adaptive design suggest that the decision-making systems tasked with regulating a victim's behavior in wake interpersonal harm should modulate forgiveness based at least part on perceptions transgressor's relationship value and exploitation risk. We extended this framework three experiments tested whether conciliatory antagonistic gestures influence by altering these perceptions. used an online sample from United States (N = 1019), laboratory 318), Japan 186). Across all...
Abstract Belief systems impact poverty reduction efforts, as they can enhance, or diminish, support for redistributive economic policies. We examined the predictive utility of mindsets about changeability (growth mindsets) stability (fixed nature in society. conducted six studies, two pre‐registered, using both cross‐sectional ( N = 763) and experimental methods 1361). Growth society predicted greater policies, part through decreased blame, although there was also a small but unreliable...
Abstract COVID‐19 poses a considerable threat to adolescent mental health. We investigated depression rates in teens from pre post‐COVID. also explored if leveraging growth mindset intervention (“Healthy Minds”) could improve health outcomes during the pandemic, especially for adolescents experiencing most distress. In Study 1, we recruited youth schools rural southern community ( N = 239) and used pre‐post design. 2, an online sample 833) longitudinal randomized control trial design test...
