Psychometric examination of the expressions of spirituality inventory-revised in the polish context
Anxiety and Cynical Attitudes Towards the Law and the Authorities Among Poles and Swedes in the Time of Crisis
Based on the meaning maintenance model, the expectation that anxiety in Poland and Sweden would differently predict cynical attitudes towards the law and the authorities was formulated. The study was conducted twice (in 2020, 3 months after the announcement of pandemic the COVID‐19, and again in 2021, 15 months later) with the assumption that managing anxiety in the ever‐present death‐toll statistics is more difficult with time. The cultural diff…
Worse for Women, Bad for All
We retested core ambivalent sexism theory tenets and explored novel correlations with national outcomes in 62 nations. Replicating Glick et al., cross-national analyses supported (a) hostile sexism (HS) and benevolent sexism (BS) as cross-culturally recognizable, complementary ideologies associated with gender inequality; (b) women appearing to be influenced by, but also resisting men’s HS and embracing BS to counter men’s HS (outscoring men in s…
Does Culture Moderate Gender Stereotypes? Individualism Predicts Communal (but Not Agentic) Prescriptions for Men Across 62 Nations
The cultural moderation of gender stereotypes hypothesis argues that societies assign the most culturally valued traits to men, the dominant group. Thus, in line with cultural ideals, collectivistic societies should assign men more communality, whereas individualistic societies should assign men more individualism. Using archival data, Cuddy et al. found evidence for cultural moderation in descriptive stereotypes. We argue, however, that cultural…
Exploring Memory Compensation in Dyslexia
These findings highlight the heterogeneity of declarative memory in dyslexia, demonstrating that while some individuals rely on memory strength to compensate for phonological deficits, others experience broader memory impairments. This variability underscores the need for personalized interventions that leverage declarative memory strength while supporting those with deficits. Future research should explore longitudinal changes and cross-linguist…
The Contingency Effects of Five Sustainable Development Goals (Big Five SDGs )
The emergence of the global sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the growing awareness of the economic, environmental, and social benefits of committing to sustainable development have led many organizations to consider how they can effectively contribute to this agenda. Drawing on institutional theory, this study seeks to advance this goal by examining in a multinational context how a socially responsible human resource management (SR‐HRM) a…
The Role of Agentic Language in Mobilizing Election Candidate Support
Agency, pertaining to planning and executing actions, is a core feature of the political landscape. Our study examines the temporal dynamics of agentic language in political online discourse during the 2020 U.S. Congressional Elections, spanning 180 days before and after Election Day, and before the Capitol Hill riots. We coded 495,252 messages posted by Democratic and Republican candidates on Twitter for agentic language, which was more prevalen…
When (and where) do pandemics foster anti-migrant actions? Individual-, contextual- and societal-level drivers affecting social cohesion during the Covid-19 pandemic

(In)Harmonious transition from an intent to an action
The harmonious transition from intention to action is a positive experience associated with a sense of authorship over one’s own actions. Its opposite is the presence of an internal control that ensures action. According to the assumptions of self-determination theory, a person’s development is aimed at achieving harmony between intention and action. This constitutes autonomy, the second key element of which is self-reflection. The results of our…
Psychometric properties of the generalized anxiety disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) in a polish postpartum women sample
GAD-7 has satisfactory psychometric properties. GAD-7 had significant correlations with the variables examined for construct validity with PSS and EPDS. GAD-7 is a reliable instrument for screening anxiety symptoms in perinatal period in research and clinical setting
Gendered Self-Views Across 62 Countries
Social role theory posits that binary gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in less egalitarian countries, reflecting these countries’ more pronounced sex-based power divisions. Conversely, evolutionary and self-construal theorists suggest that gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in more egalitarian countries, reflecting the greater autonomy support and flexible self-construction processes present in these countrie…

Heterogeneity of Cognitive Profiles in Children and Adolescents with Mild Intellectual Disability (MID)
Mild Intellectual Disability (MID) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and is characterized by limitations in intellectual functioning (IQ = 55-69) and adaptive behavior that manifests in everyday living. In addition to these specific criteria, clinical practice shows that the population of children with MID has heterogeneous deficits in cognitive functioning. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify groups of homogenous …
Harder Won and Easier Lost? Testing the Double Standard in Gender Rules in 62 Countries
Gender perspectives on self‐censorship in organizations
Self‐censorship in organizations is an individual's decision not to share information on observed irregularities and misconduct of others. The propensity to self‐censor, motivated by belief that voice will not be heard, may reflect gender inequalities. In Study 1 ( N = 948), we test whether women manifest more self‐censorship than men and we verify whether this effect is maintained when women and men hold managerial positions. In two follow‐up st…
Psychometric Properties and Correlates of Precarious Manhood Beliefs in 62 Nations
Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of gender equality and human development. Using data …
Ex-athletes as Parents Promoting Healthy Lifestyles in Their Families
Parents healthy behaviors have an undeniable influence on the long-term health of their children by preventing risky behaviors, as well as overweight or obese, which are currently a global problem. The aim of this study was to examine whether parents being ex-athletes is associated with their family having a healthy lifestyle and raising preschool children in healthy ways. An ex-athletes families ( n = 350) with partners (mean age Mmother = 34.20…
A Polish and German Population Study of Quality of Life, Well-Being, and Life Satisfaction in Older Adults During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction: Psychological studies undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic rarely include people in their 60s or older. In our study, we studied the predictors of quality of life, well-being, and life satisfaction (including risky behavior, trait anxiety, feeling of threat, sleep quality, and optimism) during the pandemic in older people from Germany and Poland and compared them to three different age groups. Methods: A total of 494 adults in fo…
Country‐level and individual‐level predictors of men's support for gender equality in 42 countries
Men sometimes withdraw support for gender equality movements when their higher gender 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 to support gender equality. We tested a model in which men's zero‐sum beliefs about gender predict reduced collective action intentions via an increase in hostile s…
Polish Validation of the Delaying Gratification Inventory
Delaying of gratification is the ability to defer immediate reward for long-term goals (Mischel, Ebbesen, 1970).The inability to do so may lead to health problems connected with, for instance, stimulants, risky sexual behaviors or binge eating (Hoerger, Quirk, Weed, 2011).In Poland there is no inventory measuring the aforementioned phenomenon.That is the reason why Polish validation of the Delaying Gratification Inventory (DGI) is really desirabl…
Gender and Body-Fat Status as Predictors of Parental Feeding Styles and Children’s Nutritional Knowledge, Eating Habits and Behaviours
The home food environment is critically important for the development of children’s health-related practices. By managing dietary restrictions, providing nutritional knowledge and demonstrating eating behaviours, parents contribute to children’s food preferences and eating patterns. The present study examined nutritional knowledge, eating habits and appetite traits among 387 Polish five-year-old healthy and overfat boys and girls in the context o…
Evaluations of Men in Domestic Roles in Canada, Norway, Poland, and India
When a man decides to take a parental leave and become a “stay-at-home dad,” by focusing on domestic duties and parenting, he may risk penalization of stereotype-disconfirming behaviors. However, the degree at which men are allowed to violate gender norms varies from country to country. Our study sought to analyze cross-country differences in perception of men who resign from their professional career and focus on domestic duties. Canadian ( N = …
