Worse for Women, Bad for All: A 62-Nation Study Confirms and Extends Ambivalent Sexism Principles to Reveal Greater Social Dysfunction in Sexist Nations
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…
Declarative memory profiles in children with non-specific intellectual disability: A cluster analysis approach
These findings highlight the heterogeneity of memory abilities in NSID, emphasizing the need for cognitive profiling beyond IQ. Learning potential may be a more predictive factor of functional outcomes, warranting further research and targeted interventions to enhance the adaptive capabilities in this population
Exploring Memory Compensation in Dyslexia: Strengths and Weaknesses in Memory Patterns Among Children and Adolescents
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…
Psychometric adaptation of the Comic Style Markers in a Polish sample
We attempted a psychometric validation of a Polish-language version of the Comic Style Markers questionnaire (CSM). A sample of 1785 adult Polish participants completed a Polish translation of the CSM (CSM-PL), the HSQ, and the IPIP-BFM-20. A self-other correlation analysis was carried out on 116 Polish university students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of several models have shown a six-factor, 33-item solution to have good model …
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…

Let’s entertain others: The relationship between comic styles and the histrionic self-presentation style in Polish, British, and Canadian samples
People who have the histrionic self-presentation style (HSP) demonstrate certain As-If-behaviors, involving pretense and role play, in their daily interactions to seek attention and amuse others. Doing As-If may be closely related to humor behaviors, so we examined this relationship in greater detail by using the Comic Style Markers (CSM) in Polish, English, and Canadian samples ( N = 285, 383, and 305, respectively; M age = 20.85, SD = 5.35). We…
Gendered Self-Views Across 62 Countries: A Test of Competing Models
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
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 …
