Notes from the Underground
OBJECTIVE: Self-focused language use has been frequently assumed to reflect narcissism; however, research indicates that the association between first-person singular pronouns (i.e., "I-talk") and grandiose narcissism is negligible. METHOD: To extend this literature, we progressively identify vulnerable narcissism and rumination as positive correlates of I-talk in five studies (valid Ns = 211, 475, 1253, 289, 1113). RESULTS: The first study revea…
The study demands and resources scale
The Study Demands and Resources Scale (SDRS) has shown promise as a valid and reliable measure for measuring students’ specific study demands and -resources. However, there is no evidence as to its psychometric properties outside of the original context in which it was developed. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the SDRS in a cross-national student population through examining its longitudinal factorial validity, internal…
The academic task performance scale
Academic task performance (TP) refers to the proficiency with which students perform in academic tasks through making the right choices and completing core tasks central to their academic studies, on time and to specification. We adapted Koopmans et al.’s task performance scale (TPS) for use within tertiary education and investigated its psychometric properties, internal consistency and measurement invariance across age, gender and national group…
The Conditional Effects of Savoring on the Relationship between Minority Stress and Alcohol Misuse in an LGBTQIA + Sample
Background: Alcohol-related difficulties are a significant public health concern in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, asexual, and people with other sexual orientations and forms of gender identity (LGBTQIA+) communities. Considering these concerns, there is a strong push to develop affirming and strength-based prevention efforts. Unfortunately, such efforts are undermined by the lack of protective LGBTQIA + models for a…
Grit Across Nations
Despite its popularity in practice, the Grit-O Scale has shown inconsistent factorial structures and differing levels of internal consistency in samples outside the USA. The validity of the Grit-O Scale in different contexts is, therefore, questionable. As such, the purpose of this paper was to determine whether the Grit-O Scale could be used as a valid and reliable measure to compare grit across different nations. Specifically, the aim was to in…
The relationship between thwarted interpersonal needs and suicidal behaviors varies as a function of positive emotions in a rural sexual minority sample
Few models consider if and how positive psychological resources mitigate suicide risk in rural sexual minorities (SM). The purpose of the current study was to determine whether positive emotions can offset the relationships between thwarted interpersonal need and suicidal behaviors. Data were collected from rural SM (N = 211). Positive emotions moderated the association between thwarted interpersonal needs and suicidal behaviors; the relationship…
A sexual minority model of flourishing
Introduction: Much of the sexual minority literature is developed from a deficit-based perspective with little consideration for flourishing. The purpose of the current study is to determine whether positive emotions offset the relationship between negative emotions and flourishing. Method: Data were collected from sexual minorities (N = 388) who completed an online survey. Result: Positive emotions moderated the association between negative emot…
What’s so funny? Adaptive versus maladaptive humor styles as mediators between early maladaptive schemas and resilience
This study examined whether different humor styles (adaptive vs. maladaptive) mediate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and current levels of resilience. Results from a sample of 511 college students indicated that individuals endorsing EMS were significantly more likely to engage in maladaptive humor and significantly less likely to engage in adaptive humor, both of which predicted decreased resilience. Interestingly, affi…
A Protective Model for Suicidal Behaviors in American and Pakistani College Students
There is a paucity of cross-national studies evaluating protective models for suicidal behaviors. Thus, using a behavioral framework, the purpose of this study was to examine whether higher levels of life-enhancing behaviors could mitigate or weaken the relation between depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors in United States and Pakistani college students. A total of 811 students (449 Pakistani and 362 U.S. students) participated in the study…
Minority Stress and Suicidal Behavior
Suicidal behaviors are a serious public health concern in the bisexual community. Protective models are needed to guide culturally informed methods of prevention. The current study evaluated the moderating effects of resilience and mental health status on the relationship between minority stress and suicidal behaviors. Data were collected from a convenience sample of bisexuals (N = 200). Results reveal a complex pattern of findings. Resilience mo…
Savoring” buffers the association between negative emotions and suicidal behaviors in the GSM community
This study examined the effects of “savoring the moment” (the ability to generate, maintain, and extend positive emotions) on the relationship between negative emotions and suicidal behavior in a sample of gender and sexual minorities (GSM). Savoring the moment moderated the associated effects of negative emotions on suicidal behavior; the relationship between negative emotions and suicidal behaviors ceased at higher levels of savoring the moment…
Procrastination and suicide proneness
This study examined the direct and indirect paths between procrastination and suicide proneness while considering gender differences. Participants included 547 undergraduates from a southeastern university. Procrastination was positively related to suicide proneness for both genders, although this relation was stronger for women. Moderated-mediation analyses with bootstrapping highlighted insufficient self-control schemas as a mediator in the rel…
The effects of adoption openness and type on the mental health, delinquency, and family relationships of adopted youth
Analyzing the 2007 National Survey of Adoptive Parents, this study examines the impact of open adoption, demographics, and other factors on adopted children’s mental health, delinquent behavior, and family relationships. Specifically, we compare findings for youth in private and public (i.e., foster care) adoptions and identify key similarities and differences between predictors of children’s well-being across these two types of adoption. We find…
Cross-Cultural and Cognitive-Affective Models of Suicide Risk
Only a handful of empirical investigations have identified culturally salient markers of suicide risk within samples of African American young adults. To address this gap, our study examined the intercorrelations among cultural congruity, defectiveness schemas, and multiple indices of suicide risk for African American ( n = 207) and European American ( n = 208) students attending a primary White institution. Cultural congruity was negatively asso…
Hopelessness and Suicide Proneness in U.S. and Japanese College Students
Few empirical studies have focused on the associations among suicide proneness, hopelessness, and depression cross-culturally. The current study examined the potential to determine differences in the overall expression of suicide proneness between Japanese ( n = 396) as compared with U.S. ( n = 417) college students. Depressive symptoms were considered as a potential mediator of the relation between hopelessness and suicide proneness in both samp…
Suicide Proneness in American and Japanese College Students
This study considered whether suicide acceptability and emotional expressivity were associated with suicide proneness in American and Japanese women and men. Participants included 417 (283 women, 134 men) American and 396 (243 women, 150 men) Japanese college students. Regression models indicated that suicide acceptability predicted unique variance in suicide proneness for both American and Japanese women and men. However, emotional expressivity …
Suicide Proneness in College Students
This study examined the relationships between 2 academic dispositions (i.e., procrastination and achievement motivation) and 2 indices of suicidal proneness in college women and men. The degree these 2 academic dispositions could predict unique variance in suicide proneness scores, above and beyond the influence of depression and self-esteem was also examined for each gender. Participants included 475 (336 women, 139 men) undergraduates from a so…
