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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
Abstract The coronavirus pandemic posed a major challenge to mental health. Existing evidence shows that COVID-19 is related poor emotional well-being, particularly among women. However, most work on the subject uses single-country samples, limiting ability generalize disparity or explain it as function of societal variables. present study investigates expression positive and negative emotions during gender across 24 countries ( N = 49,637). Strong differences emerged countries, with women...
Abstract Background and aims Despite the last decade's significant development in scientific study of work addiction/workaholism, this area research is still facing a fundamental challenge, namely need for valid reliable measurement tool that shows cross-cultural invariance and, as such, allows worldwide studies on phenomenon. Methods An initial 16-item questionnaire, developed within an addiction framework, was administered alongside job stress, satisfaction, self-esteem measures total...
Abstract Objective The Mental Health Continuum‐Short Form (MHC‐SF) is a brief scale measuring positive human functioning. study aimed to examine the factor structure and explore cross‐cultural utility of MHC‐SF using bifactor models exploratory structural equation modelling. Method Using multigroup confirmatory analysis (MGCFA) we examined measurement invariance in 38 countries (university students, N = 8,066; 61.73% women, mean age 21.55 years). Results MGCFA supported replicability metric...
The Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) has garnered intense attention over the past 15 years. We examined structure of these traits’ measure—the Dirty Dozen (DTDD)—in a sample 11,488 participants from three W.E.I.R.D. North America, Oceania, Western Europe) and five non-W.E.I.R.D. Asia, Middle East, non-Western Europe, South sub-Saharan Africa) world regions. results confirmed measurement invariance DTDD across participants’ sex in all regions, with men scoring...
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...
Abstract Men sometimes withdraw support for gender equality movements when their higher status is threatened. Here, we expand the focus of this phenomenon by examining it cross‐culturally, to test if both individual‐ and country‐level variables predict men's collective action intentions equality. We tested a model in which zero‐sum beliefs about reduced via an increase hostile sexism. Because may threaten status, also examined whether path from was stronger countries Multilevel modeling on...
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...
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...
Abstract Identity leadership captures leaders efforts to create and promote a sense of shared group membership (i.e., “we” “us”) among followers. The present research report tests this claim by drawing on data from 26 countries that are part the Global Leadership Development (GILD) project examine relationship between political leaders' identity civic citizenship behavior ( N = 6787). It also examines contributions trust economic inequality relationship. Political (PLIL) was positively...

This is question that present paper explores by testing hypothesis leadership contributes to stronger team identification among employees and, through this, associated with reduced burnout. We tested this model unique datasets Global Identity Leadership Development (GILD) project participants all inhabited continents. compared two 2016/2017 (n = 5290; 20...
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...
Stereotypes are ideological and justify the existing social structure. Although stereotypes persist, they can change when context changes. Communism’s rise in Eastern Europe Asia 20th century provides a natural experiment examining social-structural effects on class stereotypes. Nine samples from postcommunist countries ( N = 2,241), compared with 38 capitalist 4,344), support historical, sociocultural rootedness of More positive working appear countries, both other groups country...
Tightening social norms is thought to be adaptive for dealing with collective threat yet it may have negative consequences increasing prejudice. The present research investigated the role of desire cultural tightness, triggered by COVID-19 pandemic, in attitudes towards immigrants. We used participant-level data from 41 countries (
Some public officials have expressed concern that policies mandating collective health behaviors (e.g., national/regional "lockdown") may result in behavioral fatigue ultimately renders such ineffective.Boredom, specifically, has been singled out as one potential risk factor for noncompliance.We examined whether there was empirical evidence to support this during the COVID-19 pandemic a large cross-national sample of 63,336 community respondents from 116 countries.Although boredom higher...
Abstract Even in the most egalitarian societies, hierarchies of power and status shape social life. However, received are not synonymous—individuals positions may or be accorded respect corresponding to their role. Using a cooperatively collected dataset from 18,096 participants across 70 cultures, we investigate, through survey‐based correlational design, when perceived position‐based (operationalized as influence control) various powerholders is associated with elevated instrumental...
We examine how social contacts and feelings of solidarity shape experiences loneliness during the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From PsyCorona database, we obtained longitudinal data from 23 countries, collected between March May The results demonstrated that although online help to reduce loneliness, people who feel more lonely are less likely use strategy. Solidarity played only a small role shaping lockdown. Thus, it seems must look beyond current focus on contact address Finally, did...
Abstract The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic saw a shift toward more traditional division labor–one where women took greater responsibility for household tasks and childcare than men. We tested whether this regressive was acutely perceived experienced by in countries with gender equality. Cross-cultural longitudinal survey data men ( N = 10,238) collected weekly during first few months pandemic. Multilevel modelling analyses, based on seven waves collection, indicated that broadly but not...
