First-year international students’ experiences of loneliness and social isolation
First-year international students face significant social challenges , including potential reductions in social support and difficulties in forming friendships. A nuanced examination of these social challenges is important because they may contribute to experiences of loneliness and social isolation, and in turn, have a negative impact on mental health and academic performance. While quantitative research has established the prevalence, predictor…
Associations of Instagram and TikTok Use with Appearance-Based Social Comparison, Body Satisfaction, and Self-Esteem
Instagram and TikTok are among the world’s most popular social media sites, yet questions remain about how their use is associated with appearance-based social comparison, body satisfaction, and self-esteem. Specifically, we know little about the temporal ordering of these phenomena, the role of TikTok vis-à-vis Instagram, and how passive use (browsing without interacting) and active use (interacting with other users) differentially contribute to…
Social media observation of ex-partners is associated with greater breakup distress, negative affect, and jealousy
After a romantic breakup, many people observe ex-partners on social media. However, it remains unclear whether observation has downstream consequences for breakup recovery, whether it matters if the observation is active (intentional) or passive (unintentional), and whether attachment anxiety plays a moderating role. The present studies ( N = 762) used longitudinal, experimental, and daily diary methods to clarify our understanding. In Study 1, a…

The impact of the strong black woman stereotype on young Black women's breast cancer perceptions
There are significant disparities in health behaviours between young Black women and their peers, highlighting the impact of racial and gender stereotypes such as the Strong Black Woman (SBW). This stereotype, developed during slavery and continuously redefined through societal and cultural shifts, attributes characteristics to Black women such as emotional strength and selflessness to justify their widespread maltreatment. While earlier research…
Cultural intelligence, acculturation, adaptation and emotional displays of other-condemning emotions and self-conscious emotions among Chinese international students in the UK
Are emotional display rules – cultural norms regarding how to express emotions in culturally and socially proper ways – influenced by individuals’ acculturating experiences? The current study investigated the impact of cultural intelligence and acculturation variables (e.g., mainstream and heritage cultural identification, sociocultural adaptation, acculturative stress) on displays of other-condemning emotions (anger, disgust and contempt) and se…
Parameterizing agent-based models using an online game
Agent-based models (ABMs) of human systems are often parameterized using real-world data. For some ABMs this is not possible because the reality upon which the models are based does not exist or is not generalizable from one setting to another. In this paper we implement an online decision game to parameterize an agent-based model of pedestrian and cyclist route choice decisions in a neighbourhood. Our conceptual framework is to use an experiment…
Attachment style and romantic involvement with host nationals influence migrants’ acculturation and adjustment
Many migrants experience cultural transitions alongside a romantic partner, yet relatively few studies have examined the relationship context of acculturation and adjustment. The primary goal of the present study was to examine whether partners’ anxious and avoidant attachment – fearing abandonment or closeness in relationships, respectively – predicted their acculturation orientations and sociocultural, psychological, and relational adjustment. …
Online Prosocial Behaviour Predicts Well-Being in Different Cultures
Almost two billion people use Facebook every day, but relatively few studies have examined the ways that culture shapes its use, and in turn, its associations with well-being. Our 1-week daily diary study sought to extend this literature by comparing prosocial uses of Facebook in a collectivist culture, Thailand ( N = 169), and in an individualist culture, Canada ( N = 131). We found that, relative to Thais, Canadians more frequently engaged in k…
Majority members’ acculturation
How do English majority members’ national culture maintenance and immigrant culture adoption (i.e., globalisation-based proximal-acculturation) predict their acculturation expectations (i.e., how they think immigrants should acculturate) and intergroup ideologies (i.e., how they think society should manage diversity)? Cross-sectional results ( N = 220) supported hypothesised relationships using a variable- and person-centred approach: welcoming e…

To raise a child with autism spectrum disorder
Raising a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can often be a difficult and stressful process for families and caregivers. Though research on ASDs in Africa is burgeoning, very little is known about autism in francophone West Africa. Furthermore, no known ASD studies have explored parental experiences in particular from a cross-cultural perspective. This research used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to analyze in-depth, semi-structu…
Intellectual, narcissistic, or Machiavellian? How Twitter users differ from Facebook-only users, why they use Twitter, and what they tweet about
Twitter is one of the world’s most popular social networking sites, yet gaps remain in our knowledge about the psychology of its users. The current studies sought to fill these gaps by examining whether the Big Five and Dark Triad personality traits predicted differences between Twitter users and Facebook-only users, motives for using Twitter, the frequency of tweeting about 4 topics—intellectual pursuits, personal achievements, diet/exercise, an…
Beliefs about Sexual Assault in India and Britain are Explained by Attitudes Toward Women and Hostile Sexism
As many as one in five women worldwide will be sexually assaulted over the course of her lifetime (United Nations 2008), yet myths that downplay the prevalence and severity of sexual assault are still widely accepted. Are myths about sexual assault (rape myths) more likely to be accepted in cultures that endorse more traditional gender roles and attitudes toward women? To explore the relationships among rape myth acceptance, attitudes toward wome…
Meeting the expectations of your heritage culture
Do insecurely attached individuals perceive greater rejection from their heritage culture? Few studies have examined the antecedents and outcomes of this perceived rejection – termed intragroup marginalization – in spite of its implications for the adjustment of cultural migrants to the mainstream culture. This study investigated whether anxious and avoidant attachment orientations among cultural migrants were associated with greater intragroup m…
Locals’ Bidimensional Acculturation Model
Across two studies, we tested whether members of host communities (i.e., locals) can themselves simultaneously maintain their national culture maintenance and adapt toward cultural diversity (i.e., multiculturalism) in their own home country, supporting a bidimensional model of acculturation, or whether these strategies are incompatible, supporting a unidimensional model of acculturation. We modified the Vancouver Index of Acculturation (Multi-VI…
The Big Five, self-esteem, and narcissism as predictors of the topics people write about in Facebook status updates
Status updates are one of the most popular features of Facebook, but few studies have examined the traits and motives that influence the topics that people choose to update about. In this study, 555 Facebook users completed measures of the Big Five, self-esteem, narcissism, motives for using Facebook, and frequency of updating about a range of topics. Results revealed that extraverts more frequently updated about their social activities and every…
Attachment styles as predictors of Facebook‐related jealousy and surveillance in romantic relationships
Facebook has become ubiquitous over the past 5 years, yet few studies have examined its role within romantic relationships. Two studies tested attachment anxiety and avoidance as predictors of Facebook‐related jealousy and surveillance (i.e., checking a romantic partner's Facebook page). Study 1 found that anxiety was positively associated, and avoidance negatively associated, with Facebook jealousy and surveillance. The association of anxiety wi…
Valuing Romantic Relationships
Research has suggested that individuals lower in self-esteem restrain from fully valuing romantic relationships because of relatively low confidence in positive regard from their partners (i.e., positive reflected appraisals). MacDonald and Jessica (2006) provided evidence that in Indonesia, where family plays an important role in mate selection, low self-esteem also leads to doubts regarding family approval of the relationship that, in turn, pla…
Anxious Attachment and Relationship Processes
Relationship processes in adult romantic relationships have been vastly studied under the aegis of attachment theory. Attachment theory is interactionist in nature, proposing that individual differences in levels of both attachment avoidance and anxiety predict an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in contexts that activate attachment concerns. A growing body of research is beginning to systematically test the conditions in which indi…
Responses to comparisons in romantic relationships
Individuals who empathize and share outcomes with their partner are likely to react more positively to upward comparisons (UCs) than downward comparisons (DCs). Three studies examined responses to comparisons in romantic relationships. Participants reported more positive affect following UCs than DCs; positive affect was also predicted by empathy and shared outcomes. Relationship‐maintaining responses were predicted by empathy and shared outcomes…
Love at the cultural crossroads
The role of culture in romantic relationships has largely been investigated by examining variation between groups, rather than within groups. This study took a within-group approach to examine the influence of Canadian and Chinese cultural identification on gender role egalitarianism, intimacy, and commitment in 60 Chinese Canadian dating couples. Results revealed that men's identification with mainstream Canadian culture was associated with thei…
Cultural differences in intimacy
Two studies examined emotional intimacy in European Canadian and Chinese Canadian dating relationships. Cultural differences in gender-role ideology and individualism-collectivism were hypothesized to differentially contribute to self-disclosure and responsiveness, and in turn, intimacy. Study 1 revealed that Chinese Canadians' lower intimacy relative to European Canadians was mediated by their greater gender-role traditionalism but not by their …
Standing Out in Canada and Japan
The need for separation or individuation is held to be a prime motive in Western psychology. Varied accounts of the meaning of selfhood in Japan indicate that separation may be much less important—or as important—for understanding the construction of self‐identity in that culture. We focus here on personal distinctiveness, one vehicle for separation from others. We propose that the desire for distinctiveness is not absent or negligible in Japan, …
