Abstract. Scales for justice sensitivity from three perspectives (victim, observer, perpetrator) were developed. A latent state-trait analysis revealed high reliabilities (≈ .95). Trait consistencies .61) twice as large occasion specificities .33). The correlation between observer and perpetrator was much higher than the either one victim sensitivity. Self-related concerns (Machiavellianism, paranoia, suspiciousness, vengeance, jealousy, interpersonal trust) correlated more highly with...
Data from two large longitudinal studies were used to analyze reciprocal relations between self-esteem and depressive symptoms across the adult life span. Study 1 included 1,685 participants aged 18 96 years assessed 4 times over a 9-year period. 2 2,479 88 3 4-year In both studies, cross-lagged regression analyses indicated that low predicted subsequent symptoms, but did not predict levels of self-esteem. This pattern results replicated all age groups, for affective-cognitive somatic...
Research suggests that different motivational dynamics underlie right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO). These differences may be framed in the theory of basic human values. RWA trace back to conservation versus openness-to-change values, SDO self-enhancement self-transcendence Based on a large-scale German survey, associations with personal values attitudes aftermath September 11, 2001, were analyzed.

The authors examined the development of self-esteem across life span. Data came from a German longitudinal study with 3 assessments 4 years sample 2,509 individuals ages 14 to 89 years. measure used showed strong measurement invariance and birth cohorts. Latent growth curve analyses indicated that follows quadratic trajectory span, increasing during adolescence, young adulthood, middle reaching peak at age 60 years, then declining in old age. No cohort effects on average levels or shape were...
Zusammenfassung. Um die Ökonomie des Beck-Depressions-Inventars zu verbessern, wird Itemzahl von 84 auf 20 gekürzt. Für jedes Symptom nur ein Item verwendet. Das Gewichtssymptom entfällt. Die Intensitätsskalierung erfolgt über sechsstufige Anwortskalen, denen Symptomhäufigkeit eingeschätzt wird. Meßeigenschaften modifizierten BDI wurden an einer Stichprobe 2500 Probanden untersucht. interne Konsistenz der Skala beträgt = .90. Latent-State-Trait-Analysen ergeben eine sehr gute Reliabilität...
Zusammenfassung. Anhand einer Stichprobe von N = 4494 Personen (2418 Männer, 2076 Frauen) wurden Normwerte (Prozentränge, T-Werte, z-Werte) für das vereinfachte Beck-Depressions-Inventar (BDI-V) ermittelt. In Varianzanalysen mit den Faktoren Alter und Geschlecht waren die beiden Haupteffekte Interaktion signifikant. Alle drei Effekte klein. Das erklärte 1.5% der BDI-V-Varianz, je nach Gruppierung zwischen 0.6% 2.3%, Altersgruppierung 0.4% 2.1%. Wegen des signifikanten in allen Altersgruppen...

ABSTRACT With rising numbers and increasing complexity of long‐living conflicts, the effect contact interventions is tested in that context. This meta‐analysis investigated have on outgroup‐attitudes context a highly intractable conflict. Publications were included, if they quantitatively assessed intervention with samples collected conflict, either still active or politically resolved, attitude toward outgroup met as dependent variable. these criteria, 38 publications 57 143 outcomes...
Purpose Understanding the cognitions behind emotions like indignation can aid in conflict transformation by helping parties reframe their perceptions, potentially de-escalating conflicts. This study aims to explore role of cognitive components and interplay for conflict-associated behaviors. Design/methodology/approach Based on Montada Kals’ (2013) social theory, this experimental online ( n = 1077) examined whether four – (i) norm violation, (ii) perception being negatively affected, (iii)...

An einer demographisch heterogenen Gelegenheitsstichprobe (n = 200) und drei klinischen Stichproben (Major Depressive Disorder, n 60; Angst- Essstörungen, 11; Schizophrenie, 40) wurden Messeigenschaften des vereinfachten Beck-Depressions-Inventars (BDI-V) ermittelt. Homogenität Reliabilität BDI-V übersteigen jene Original-BDI (BDI-O) weiterer vier Depressionsskalen. BDI-O konvergieren auf der Ebene einzelner Symptome (durchschnittliche Korrelation in Gesamtstichprobe .70)...
