Unpacking the Complex Interplay Between Internet Usage and Well-being Among Older Adults
The internet has become ubiquitous in daily life, and its relationship with well-being is a crucial contemporary issue. On the basis of a lifespan perspective and socioemotional selectivity theory, the present study aimed to understand how older adults can benefit from internet usage. Studies 1a ( N = 1725) and 1b ( N = 1715) leveraged two large, independent, cross-sectional, and nationally representative datasets from the Taiwan Social Change Su…
Personal Relative Deprivation and Locus of Control
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relationship between personal relative deprivation (PRD)-resentment from the belief that one is worse off than people who are similar to oneself-and locus of control. BACKGROUND: Research has yet to comprehensively investigate whether PRD is associated with a tendency to favor external (vs. internal) explanations for self- and other-relevant outcomes. METHOD: = 6729) employed cross-sectional, experimental, and (micr…

The Children's Dual Emotion Regulation Strategy scale
The literature on emotion regulation in general lacks cultural and contextual sensitivity and is mainly focused on adult participants. Therefore, we developed the Children's Dual Emotion Regulation Strategy (CDERS) scale as a scenario‐based measurement that integrates Western and East Asian cultural perspectives. In Study 1 ( N = 1120), six interpersonal conflict scenarios were generated, and each scenario consisted of four emotion regulation str…
What type of humor style do older adults tend to prefer? A comparative study of humor style tendencies among individuals of different ages and genders
How ethnic groups and clan systems influence humor styles
The aim of this study is to compare the differences in humor styles between indigenous and Han Chinese populations in Taiwan. The differences in humor styles between clan systems (patriarchy or matriarchy) within indigenous people were further examined. A total of 442 indigenous students and 1,040 Han Chinese students ( M age = 12.88) in Taiwan were recruited. The Chinese version of the Humor Styles Questionnaire was applied. The following are th…
Constructivist Self-Construal
Building on independent versus interdependent self-construal theory, three studies provide initial empirical evidence for a third way of construing the self: the constructivist self-construal. People with a constructivist view perceive the self as constantly changing (impermanence), as a collection of distinct phenomena from moment to moment (discontinuity), as lacking an essence (disentification), and as psychologically overlapping with other pe…
Investigating implicit and explicit attitudes toward sexual minorities in Taiwan
The attitudes, both implicit and explicit, that people hold toward sexual minorities and those who identify as gay or lesbian remain understudied, especially in Asia. In the present study, we examine the implicit and explicit attitudes people in Taiwan have regarding same-sex attraction. Participants (N = 1,696; 1,025 women; Mage: 24.36 years, SD = 5.40 years) completed implicit and explicit measures through the Project Implicit Taiwan website. A…
Many Labs 2
We conducted preregistered replications of 28 classic and contemporary published findings, with protocols that were peer reviewed in advance, to examine variation in effect magnitudes across samples and settings. Each protocol was administered to approximately half of 125 samples that comprised 15,305 participants from 36 countries and territories. Using the conventional criterion of statistical significance ( p < .05), we found that 15 (54%) of …
Self-concept integration and differentiation in subclinical individuals with dissociation proneness
Dissociative pathology is characterized by an altered sense of self. Still, it remains unclear (a) whether the altered sense of self is also associated with non-pathological dissociation as well and (b) whether this potential association is an intrinsic connection or a consequence of other related constructs, including childhood trauma. This study addresses this question by examining how self-concept organization may differ among individuals with…
Why Do Easterners Have Lower Well-Being Than Westerners? The Role of Others' Approval Contingencies of Self-Worth in the Cross-Cultural Differences in Subjective Well-Being
Previous studies have shown that Easterners generally perceive themselves as having lower subjective well-being compared with Westerners, and several mechanisms causing such differences have been identified. However, few studies have analyzed the causes of such differences from the perspective of the cross-cultural differences in the meanings of important life events such as whether people receive approval from others. Specifically, events regard…
Cultural distance between parents’ and children’s creativity
The present study adopted a within-country approach to investigate the relation of cultural distance to general creativity and math creativity in Taiwan. First, we conducted a pilot study of 201 young adolescents with parents from one of the 3 largest subethnic groups in Taiwan, namely Min-nan Taiwanese, Ha-kka Taiwanese, and Outside-Province Taiwanese. The results revealed that young Taiwanese adolescents perceived the cultural distance between …
Multicultural Families and Creative Children
The link between multicultural experience and creativity is consistently supported by many empirical studies. However, most of these results are limited to adult participants with foreign living experience. The present study extended previous studies and investigated the positive relationship between multicultural experience and creativity in Taiwan young adolescents living in binational families. With more than 700 young adolescents, the results…
