The role of spending money on in-game content in the prediction of anxiety and depression among Saudi gamers
Beyond Religious Narcissistic Identification
Agnosticism and atheism are often grouped simply as nonreligious identities, yet emerging research highlights their distinct psychological profiles and social implications. Among these distinctions, collective narcissism – characterized by strong attachment to one’s group, exceptionalism, and grievance for recognition – offers a framework for understanding identity processes in both nonreligious groups. We examined whether agnostics and atheists …
The Relationships between Parental Locus of Control and Domestically Adopted Children’s Emotional and Behavioral Adjustment
Considering their experiences, adoptees may encounter more difficulties than their non-adopted peers, with post-adoption adjustment varying considerably depending on their age at adoption. This study uniquely examined parental locus of control (PLC) in parents of 224 domestically adopted children, its associations with children’s emotional and behavioral adjustment, and whether age-at-adoption moderated these relationships. Multiple regressions i…
Causal beliefs about social determinants of depression, poverty, and mortality
Social determinants influence multiple life outcomes including depression, poverty, and mortality. While causal beliefs shape public views on these issues, studies have remained siloed across disciplines. We surveyed 1000 UK adults on 43 social and non‐social risk factors for these outcomes, using a broader set of social factors than previous work. We ask which social determinants are perceived to be causally important, how these are weighted rel…
Which Narcissists Are More Stressed? The Link Between Narcissistic Forms and Stress Experience in a Five‐Day Diary Study During Covid ‐19
This study investigates the relationship between different forms of narcissism and stress, during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using a mixed‐method diary design, 427 participants were surveyed over five consecutive days to examine the associations between their stress levels and stress experiences concerning agentic grandiose, communal grandiose, antagonistic, and vulnerable narcissism. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Bot…
Networking trait resilience
OBJECTIVE: This study reconceptualized trait resilience, defining it as a network of systems; utilizing direct resilience assessments-engineering, ecological, adaptive capacity, social cohesion-and proxy resilience assessments-personality, cognitive, emotional, eudaimonia, and health. BACKGROUND: The background of the study addresses the fragmented conceptualization of trait resilience by proposing a unifying network model based on ecological sys…

Potential Psychosocial Explanations for the Impact of Pet Ownership on Human Well-Being
There is a set of hypotheses commonly used in the literature to explain how pets affect human well-being (e.g., pets as social catalysts). Many studies are reported as giving results consistent with one or more of these, but they may not appear to be sufficient to explain the impacts of several pet-related activities on owner well-being. Confirmation bias may also overshadow the consideration of alternative mechanisms. This report aims to review …
Refining Anger
The current paper presents a five-factor measurement model of anger summarizing scores on public-domain self-report measures of anger. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of self-report measures of anger (UK, n = 500; USA, n = 625) suggest five replicable latent anger factors: anger-arousal, anger-rumination, frustration-discomfort, anger-regulation, and socially constituted anger. Findings suggested a 5-factor interpretation provided th…
Less is more. Discovering the latent factors of trait resilience
The current paper establishes the latent factors of many direct or proxy trait resilience assessments. Study 1 (n = 849) demonstrates four latent factors (recovery, sustainability, adaptability, and social cohesion) among 61 direct and proxy assessments of resilience. Three of these four factors are best described within a three-factor model of ecological resilience, with an additional social-orientated resilience factor. Study 2 (n = 340) replic…
Resilience, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and anger
AIM: To examine resilience in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning within an ecological model, identifying the psychological processes associated with resilient, and non-resilient learning to develop a framework for promoting STEM resilience. SAMPLE AND METHOD: From a sample of secondary-school students (n = 4,936), 1,577 students who found their STEM lesson difficult were identified. Students were assessed on three r…
Personality, Individual Differences and Intelligence
Identifying the psychological processes used by male and female students when learning about science technology engineering and mathematics
Learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is challenging, leaving many students to give up on these subjects. Specifically, females are underrepresented in STEM industries. Identifying how male and female students deal with STEM learning challenges, and how this relates to learning outcomes, may inform teaching that best supports the preferences of individual students. This study asked secondary school students, who had…
Theoretical Foundations to the Impact of Dog-Related Activities on Human Hedonic Well-Being, Life Satisfaction and Eudaimonic Well-Being
Cross-sectional comparisons of well-being between dog owners and non-owners commonly generate inconsistent results. Focusing on the uniqueness of the relationship might help address this issue and provide a stronger foundation for dog-related psychotherapeutic interventions. This study aims to evaluate the impact of dog-related activities (e.g., exercising the dog) on owner hedonic well-being, life satisfaction and eudaimonic well-being. It was a…

Youth Conceptualization of Resilience Strategies in Four Low- and Middle-Income Countries
The concept of resilience is increasingly influential in the development of interventions and services for young people, yet there is limited knowledge of how resilience-building strategies are conceptualized by young people across different cultures, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to capture 274 young people’s voices in disadvantaged communities in Kenya, Turkey, Pakistan, and Brazil through participa…
Country‐level correlates of the Dark Triad traits in 49 countries
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, the literature on the Dark Triad traits relies mostly on samples from English-speaking (i.e., Westernized) countries. We broadened the scope of this literature by sampling from a wider array of countries. METHOD: = 21.53) to examine …
Frailty and Social Isolation
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare uni- and multidimensional models of social isolation to improve the specificity of determining associations between social isolation and frailty. Methods: The study included participants aged ≥60 years from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing assessed for social isolation and frailty (frailty index and Fried phenotype) over a 4-year period. Factor analysis assessed whether social isolation was m…

Stakeholder Perspectives on Children's Mental Health Needs and Supports in Six Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries
Low‐ and middle‐income countries ( LMIC ) are faced with disproportionately high levels of unmet child mental health needs. This study explored through interviews the perspectives of 17 inter‐agency service stakeholders from Brazil, Indonesia, Kenya, Pakistan, Rwanda and Turkey on existing supports and challenges. Four themes emerged on the holistic nature of children's mental health needs linked with disadvantage; limited resources and skilled w…
An experimental examination of alcohol consumption, alcohol expectancy, and self‐blame on willingness to report a hypothetical rape
This study experimentally examined the role of victim alcohol intoxication, and self-blame in perceiving and reporting rape to the police using a hypothetical interactive rape scenario. Participants (N = 79) were randomly assigned to consume alcohol (mean BAC = 0.07%) or tonic water before they engaged in the scenario. Alcohol expectancy was manipulated, and participant beliefs about the beverage they thought they had consumed and their feelings …
Female Counter-Adaptations to Rape
Influence of Peer-Based Needle Exchange Programs on Mental Health Status in People Who Inject Drugs
Alleviating the personal and social burden associated with substance use disorders requires the implementation of a comprehensive strategy, including outreach, education, community interventions, psychiatric treatment, and access to needle exchange programs (NEP), where peer support may be available. Given that substantial research underscores the potential benefits of peer support in psychiatric interventions, we aimed to conduct a national surv…

"Cross-Cultural Differences in a Global "Survey of World Views
We know that there are cross-cultural differences in psychological variables, such as individualism/collectivism. But it has not been clear which of these variables show relatively the greatest differences. The Survey of World Views project operated from the premise that such issues are best addressed in a diverse sampling of countries representing a majority of the world's population, with a very large range of item-content. Data were collected …
Personality and coping
The adaptational-continuum model of personality and coping suggests a useful context for research areas that emphasize both personality and coping. The present paper used Ferguson's (2001) model integrating personality and coping factors to further conceptualize findings around celebrity worship. Three hundred and seventy-two respondents completed measures of celebrity worship, personality, coping style, general health, stress, positive and negat…

Implicit theories of a desire for fame
The aim of the present studies was to generate implicit theories of a desire for fame among the general population. In Study 1, we were able to develop a nine-factor analytic model of conceptions of the desire to be famous that initially comprised nine separate factors; ambition, meaning derived through comparison with others, psychologically vulnerable, attention seeking, conceitedness, social access, altruistic, positive affect, and glamour. An…

Implicit theories of online trolling
Three studies were conducted to investigate people's conceptions of online trolls, particularly conceptions associated with psychological resilience to trolling. In Study 1, a factor analysis of participants' ratings of characteristics of online trolls found a replicable bifactor model of conceptions of online trolls, with a general factor of general conceptions towards online trolls being identified, but five group factors (attention-conflict se…
Do Student Evaluations of University Reflect Inaccurate Beliefs or Actual Experience? A Relative Rank Model
It was shown that student satisfaction ratings are influenced by context in ways that have important theoretical and practical implications. Using questions from the UK's National Student Survey, the study examined whether and how students' expressed satisfaction with issues such as feedback promptness and instructor enthusiasm depends on the context of comparison (such as possibly inaccurate beliefs about the feedback promptness or enthusiasm ex…
The Comparison of Predictors of Death Obsession within Two Cultures
The objective of the study was to compare various predictors of death obsession (i.e., anxiety, optimism, pessimism), and self-ratings of religiosity, physical health, mental health, happiness, and satisfaction with life, among 2 samples of college students recruited from two different cultures: Kuwait (n = 271) and United Kingdom (n = 205). The findings suggest that anxiety, among both samples, pessimism among the Kuwait sample, and (un) happine…
Religious Attitudes and Obsessional Personality Traits among UK Adults
Recent data of Maltby, McCollam, and Millar were reanalysed to examine the relationship between religious attitudes and obsessional personality traits in a sample of UK adults. For 34 men and 85 women significant correlations were found between the Francis Scale of Attitudes Towards Christianity and the Sandler-Hazari Obsessionality Inventory trait scale. This supports previous findings linking religious attitudes and obsessional personality trai…
Is There a Denominational Difference in Scores on the Francis Scale of Attitude towards Christianity among Northern Irish Adults
This study examined whether a significant difference occurs between Roman Catholic and Protestant adults for scores on the Francis Scale of Attitude Towards Christianity among a Northern Irish sample. 205 Northern Irish adults (131 Roman Catholics and 74 Protestants) completed the Adult Form of the Francis attitude scale on which no significant difference was found between Roman Catholic and Protestant adults' scores. This finding facilitates the…
Authoritarianism and Projection
To extend the 1995 work of McCollaum and Lester, 378 undergraduate students were administered the conservatism scale of the Wilson-Patterson Attitude Inventory and the projection scale of the Defense Style Questionnaire-40. No significant association was found between scores on conservatism and projection
Reliability and Validity of the Francis Scale of Attitude towards Christianity among U.S. Adults
To facilitate the use of the adult form of the Francis Scale of Attitude Towards Christianity in cross-cultural studies, the reliability and construct validity of the scale were examined among two samples of U.S. adults. Subjects completed the scale and answered questions concerning their own religious behavior and personal belief. Support was found for the reliability, unidimensionality, and construct validity of the scale among two samples of U…
Personality, Prayer, and Church Attendance in a Sample of Male College Students in the USA
Recent studies have suggested that, within Eysenck's dimensional model of personality, psychoticism rather than extraversion or neuroticism is fundamental to both positive religious attitude and frequency of religious practice. 1995 data of Maltby were further analysed to examine the relationship between the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated and frequency of personal prayer and church attendance among 100 male college students…
Reliability Estimates of the Internal Control Index among UK Samples
To facilitate the use of the Internal Control Index among UK adults estimates of reliability were calculated among Northern Irish and English samples ( N = 160, N = 108, N = 92). Support was found for the over-all reliability of the scale (a ranging from .86 to .87 for all 3 samples); however, consistent with previous research in the USA, Items 12 and 17 of the scale perform inadequately. Researchers may continue to examine the relationship betwe…
Personality Correlates of Religiosity among Adults in the Republic of Ireland
This study examined the relationship between measures of personal religiosity (religious attitude, frequency of personal prayer), a measure of public religiosity (church attendance), and the Abbreviated form of the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire among 216 adults in the Republic of Ireland. A significant negative correlation was found between scores on psychoticism and on the three measures of religiosity among men (religious attitude, …
Scores on a Statistics Test and Scores on the Defense Style Questionnaire
Scores for 21 men and 41 women on a university statistics test were compared with scores on the 1993 Defense Style Questionnaire of Andrews, et al. The significant negative association between higher scores on the statistics test and higher scores on the measure of the defence mechanism of projection suggested the latter construct be considered when examining statistical achievement
Oral pessimism and depressive symptoms
The need to examine alternative explanations for findings in psychoanalytic theory is often suggested but rarely practised. The aim of the present study was to examine Lewis' (1993) prediction that oral pessimism is important to the aetiology of depression within the context of social psychological, cognitive and personality explanations of depression. One hundred and sixty Northern Irish university students completed measures of depressive sympt…
Religious orientation and psychological well‐being
Objectives. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of religious acts within the relationship between measures of religious orientation and psychological well‐being, to examine the theoretical view that religion can act as a coping mechanism. Design. Correlational statistics, principal components analysis with oblimin rotation and multiple regression were used to examine the relationships between a number of religiosity and psycholog…
The Reliability and Validity of the ‘Rejection of Christianity Scale’ among Northern Irish Students
The present aim was to examine the reliability and validity of the ‘Rejection of Christianity Scale’ (Greer & Francis, 1992) among a sample of Northern Irish undergraduate students. A slightly modified version of the ‘Rejection of Christianity Scale’ was administered alongside questions of religiousness and practice. Among a sample of 217 Northern Irish undergraduate students, support was found for the reliability and unidimen‐sionality of the ‘R…
The Internal Structure of a Derived, Revised, and Amended Measure of the Religious Orientation Scale
The accurate measurement of an intrinsic and extrinsic orientation toward religiosity has been an on-going rigorous psychometric investigation within the psychology of religion for over 30 years. With this debate, a number of suggestions have been made to improve the measurement of Intrinsic/Extrinsic religiosity. The aim of the present study was to combine some of the suggestions made, and examine whether or not a combination of these amendments…
Social Interests and Eysenck's Personality Dimensions
The relationship between Adler's concept of social interest and Eysenck's personality dimensions was investigated among 224 English undergraduates (85 men and 139 women). The present study links Adlerian and Eysenckian theories by finding that scores on the Social Interest Scale are significantly negatively associated with scores on Psychoticism and Neuroticism
Relationship between Belief in Good Luck and General Health
62 undergraduate university students were administered the 12-item Belief in Good Luck Scale of Darke and Freedman and the General Health Questionnaire of Goldberg and Williams. Scores on belief in good luck showed a significant correlation of -.29 with anxiety and -.35 with depression but correlations were not significant for somatic symptoms (.15) and social dysfunction (.15)
Religion and Happiness
A number of recent studies have consistently reported a positive association between religiosity and happiness, when happiness is operationalised in terms of the Oxford Happiness Inventory and religiosity is operationalised in terms of the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity. However, this general finding is not consistent across other measures of either construct. The present aim was to examine the generalisability of the link between …
Romantic Acts and Depression
Romantic Acts and Depression
The aim of the present study was to provide an examination of the relationship between the importance individuals attach to romantic acts and depressive symptoms. Among 140 male and 160 female English undergraduate students, the importance individuals attach to romantic acts is significantly negatively correlated with higher scores on the Beck Depression Inventory and the Depression symptoms subscale of the General Health Questionnaire among the …
