During the initial phase of COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. conservative politicians and media downplayed risk both contracting effectiveness recommended health behaviors. Health behavior theories suggest perceived vulnerability to a threat health-protective behaviors determine motivation follow recommendations. Accordingly, we predicted that-as result politicization pandemic-politically Americans would be less likely enact In two longitudinal studies residents, political conservatism was inversely...
The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) is a widely used measure of core facet the positive body image construct. However, extant research concerning measurement invariance BAS-2 across large number nations remains limited. Here, we utilised Image in Nature (BINS) dataset – with data collected between 2020 and 2022 to assess 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, age groups. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that full scalar was upheld all groups, suggesting...
Abstract Objectives The Dark Triad traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) capture individual differences in aversive personality to complement work on other taxonomies, such as the Big Five traits. However, literature relies mostly samples from English‐speaking Westernized) countries. We broadened scope of this by sampling a wider array Method drew data 49 countries ( N = 11,723; 65.8% female; Age Mean 21.53) examine how an extensive net country‐level variables economic...
Abstract The present paper examines longitudinally how subjective perceptions about COVID-19, one’s community, and the government predict adherence to public health measures reduce spread of virus. Using an international survey ( N = 3040), we test infection risk perception, trust in governmental response communications conspiracy beliefs, social norms on distancing, tightness culture, community punishment various containment-related attitudes behavior. Autoregressive analyses indicate that,...
Understanding the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake is important to inform policy decisions and plan vaccination campaigns. The aims this research were to: (1) explore individual- country-level intentions be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, (2) examine worldwide variation in intentions. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted during first wave pandemic, involving 6697 respondents across 20 countries. Results showed that 72.9% participants reported positive COVID-19, whereas...
COVID-19 has been a source of fear around the world.We asked whether measurement this is trustworthy and comparable across countries.In particular, we explored invariance cross-cultural replicability widely-used Fear scale (FCV-19S), testing community samples from 48 countries (N = 14,558).The findings indicate that FCV-19S somewhat problematic structure, yet one-factor solution replicable cultural contexts could be used in studies compare people who vary on gender educational level.The...
Beliefs about personhood are understood to be a defining feature of individualism-collectivism (I-C), but they have been insufficiently explored, given the emphasis research on values and self-construals. We propose construct contextualism, referring beliefs importance context in understanding people, as facet cultural collectivism. A brief measure was developed refined across 19 nations (Study 1: N = 5,241), showing good psychometric properties for cross-cultural use correlating well at...
The COVID-19 pandemic presents threats, such as severe disease and economic hardship, to people of different ages. These threats can also be experienced asymmetrically across age groups, which could lead generational differences in behavioral responses reduce the spread disease. We report a survey conducted 56 societies (N = 58,641), tested pre-registered hypotheses about how relates (a) perceived personal costs during pandemic, (b) prosocial (e.g., social distancing), (c) support for...
Variations in acquiescence and extremity pose substantial threats to the validity of cross-cultural research that relies on survey methods. Individual cultural correlates response styles when using 2 contrasting types mode were investigated, drawing data from 55 groups across 33 nations. Using 7 dimensions self-other relatedness have often been confounded within broader distinction between independence interdependence, our analysis yields more specific understandings both individual-...
Self-continuity – the sense that one's past, present, and future are meaningfully connected is considered a defining feature of personal identity. However, bases self-continuity may depend on cultural beliefs about personhood. In multilevel analyses data from 7287 adults 55 groups in 33 nations, we tested new tripartite theoretical model self-continuity. As expected, perceptions stability, narrative, associative links to past each contributed predicting extent which people derived different...
This paper examines whether compliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures is motivated by wanting to save lives or the economy (or both), and which implications this carries fight pandemic. National representative samples were collected from 24 countries (N = 25,435). The main predictors (1) perceived risk contract coronavirus, (2) suffer economic losses due (3) their interaction effect. Individual country-level variables added as covariates in multilevel regression models. We examined...
Before vaccines for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) became available, a set of infection-prevention behaviors constituted the primary means to mitigate virus spread. Our study aimed identify important predictors this behaviors. Whereas social and health psychological theories suggest limited predictors, machine-learning analyses can correlates from larger pool candidate predictors. We used random forests rank 115 behavior in 56,072 participants across 28 countries, administered March May...
Abstract Psychological research on the predictors of conspiracy theorizing—explaining important social and political events or circumstances as secret plots by malevolent groups—has flourished in recent years. However, has typically examined only a small number one, of, national contexts. Such approaches make it difficult to examine relative importance predictors, risk overlooking some potentially relevant variables altogether. To overcome this limitation, present study used machine learning...
The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies its measurement invariance across large number nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset–with data collected between 2020 and 2022 –to assess SWLS 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, age groups ( N = 56,968). All participants completed under largely uniform conditions. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that...
