Moral norms are fundamental for virtually all social interactions, including cooperation. develop and change, but the mechanisms underlying when, how, such changes occur not well-described by theories of moral psychology. We tested, confirmed, hypothesis that commonness an observed behavior consistently influences its status, which we refer to as common is (CIM) heuristic. In 9 experiments, used experimental model dynamic interaction manipulated altruistic selfish behaviors examine change...
Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors that associated with people reported adopting public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing stricter hygiene) endorsed policy closing bars restaurants) the early stage of pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who...
Abstract O bjective Investigating unique and shared aspects of measures emotion regulation (ER) advances our understanding ER as a multidimensional construct. This study aimed to investigate psychometric properties three ER‐measures: Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS‐36), the abbreviated version DERS‐16, Questionnaire (ERQ). Methods In community sample ( N = 843; 56% females) we investigated their internal consistency, factor structure, convergence, association with symptoms...
In today's world, mass-media and online social networks present us with unprecedented exposure to second-hand, vicarious experiences thereby the chance of forming associations between previously innocuous events (e.g., being in a subway station) aversive outcomes footage or verbal reports from violent terrorist attack) without direct experience. Such threat, fear, learning can have dramatic consequences, as manifested acute stress symptoms maladaptive fears. However, most research has so far...
Abstract Depression is one of the most common psychiatric conditions. Given its high prevalence and disease burden, accurate diagnostic procedures valid instruments are warranted to identify those in need treatment. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) widely used self-report measures depression, validity reliability has been evaluated several languages. However, Swedish translation yet not subject psychometric evaluation, no previous evaluation instrument have both Rasch analysis...
Background. Antisocial behavior is a known risk factor for substance use in adolescence, but the combined effects of antisocial and prosocial behaviors are unknown. This study examined whether five types anti- associated with subsequent alcohol use.Methods. A prospective longitudinal cohort 3817 adolescents (55.3% females) aged 15 at baseline (T1) 17 follow-up (T2). Self-reports T1 measured (criminal behavior, conduct problems) (global prosociality, general trust, institutional trust). T2...
Background. Deficits in social behaviors have been suggested as a promising treatment target for psychiatric disorders. While context influences prosocial behavior healthy individuals, its role the development of disorders remains unclear. We hypothesized that situation-specific would predict long-term symptoms individuals with common Method. In 1-year longitudinal cohort study (n = 4484 at baseline), we followed population sample self-reported to investigate if six subtypes were associated...

Abstract Prior laboratory research has suggested that humans may become more prosocial in stressful or threatening situations, but it is unknown whether the link between prosociality and defense generalizes to real-life. Here, we examined association defensive responses a real-world threat (the COVID-19 pandemic) everyday altruism. Four independent samples of 150 (N = 600) US residents were recruited online at 4 different timepoints, self-report measures perceived threat, emotions (e.g.,...
This study revisited the link between psychological well-being and prosociality during a global crisis from cross-cultural perspective. We surveyed two large samples of Chinese (N₁ = 1,030; 89 regions; May 1-6, 2020) Swedish (N₂ 1,160; 22 14-24, individuals coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Across both countries, we observed that was strongly associated with one's self-reported tendency to perform prosocial behaviors, including actions aimed at relieving burden pandemic (e.g., money donation...
Threatening situations have been shown to influence prosocial and altruistic behaviour in laboratory studies. However, it is unknown whether those effects would transfer a real-life crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we examined impact of changing threat on everyday altruism. Specifically, investigated association between defensive emotions associated with varying levels perceived imminence, reported frequency behaviours. A sample 600 United States residents was recruited...
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with deficits in social cognition, but the relationship between harmful alcohol and processes underlying interactive behavior still unknown. We hypothesized that prosocial decision making reduced AUD individual differences are key to better understanding these reductions. In one laboratory study (Swedish participants, n = 240) confirmatory online (American 260), we compared young adults age-, gender-, education-matched healthy control subjects on 6...
Individuals with psychiatric disorders may be both vulnerable and sensitive to rapid societal changes that have occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. To fully understand these impacts, repeated measurements of individuals are warranted. The current longitudinal study set out perform monthly assessment common using established questionnaires a possibility for them self- rate their symptoms, over time.Recruitment who identified themselves as struggling mental health problems, living in Sweden...
Whereas striatal dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) availability has shown to be altered in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and healthy a family history of AUD, the role D2R development AUD is unknown. In this positron emission tomography (PET) study, we measured whether associated subsequent alcohol-related factors, at follow-up 8 16 years post-PET scan, social drinkers.Longitudinal study investigating association between PET data later self-report measures individuals.Academic research...
