  • A Farewell to the Narcissism Epidemic? A Cross‐Temporal Meta‐Analysis of Global NPI Scores (1982–2023)

    Open AccessSandra Oberleiter, Paul Stickel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2025References: 45

    OBJECTIVE: Several recent accounts have failed to replicate the so-called Narcissism Epidemic, suggesting potential influences of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008 as a reason for narcissism trend reversals. Here, we provide evidence for narcissism test score changes from 1982 to 2023. METHODS: We investigated self-report data on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) from 1105 studies (k = 1621, N = 546,225) using precision-weighte…

  • Are Speeded Tests Unfair? Modeling the Impact of Time Limits on the Gender Gap in Mathematics

On average, women complete fewer items than men when a test is administered with a strict time limit, whereas gender gaps are frequently reduced when time limits …

  • Has achievement goal theory been right? A meta-analysis of the relation between goal structures and personal achievement goals

    Lisa Bardach, Sophie Oczlon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Educational Psychology2020

    Achievement goal theory includes both personal motivational features (achievement goals) and contextual features (goal structures). The theory holds that the prevailing goal structures in learning environments (such as the classroom) influence the achievement goals students adopt. This meta-analysis (k = 68, N = 47,975) examined the strength of the relationships between student ratings of goal structures (mastery-approach goal structures, mastery…

    Open AccessViren Swami, Rebecca Coles et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2011Cited by: 74References: 38

In two studies, we sought to overcome this limitation by examining correlations between conspiracist ideation and a range of individual psychological factors. In Study 1, 817 Britons indicated their agreement with conspiracist ideation concerning the July 7, 2005 (7/7), London bombings,…
