  • Social media use and well-being: Testing an integrated self-determination theory model

    Kennon M Sheldon, Liudmila TitovaARTICLEMedia Psychology2023

    Although some commentators assert that social media use (SMU) has large negative effects on peoples’ mental health, meta-analyses show the effect is tiny at best, implying that individual differences play an important role. We combined self-determination theory’s organismic integration and basic psychological needs mini-theories to address this issue. Our integrated process model stated that self-determined motivation for SMU affects the extent p…

  • Meaning in Life and Coping With Everyday Stressors

    Open AccessSarah Ward, Jake Womick et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2023

    Meaning in life (MIL) has been proposed to improve coping and resilience. Yet MIL’s association with coping has primarily been investigated in the context of extreme stressors and trauma, often using varied measures of MIL. Is MIL associated with varied coping strategies, coping self-efficacy, and distress in relation to commonly experienced, everyday challenges? Using diverse methodological designs, five studies (total N = 1,646) investigated th…

  • Blood donation motivation in the United States and Russia: What keeps donors coming back

    Open AccessKennon M Sheldon, Evgeny Osin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community & Applied…2022References: 4

    What keeps regular blood donors coming back, despite the inconvenience and discomfort, thereby maintaining the community's blood supply? We approached 494 people waiting to give blood, 229 Americans and 265 Russians, with a survey that assessed their motivations to donate, their contextual emotions, and their future donation intentions. The Russian sample was older, and many were regulars at the donation centre. The U.S. sample was younger, atten…

  • Understanding the motivations of food bank volunteers: Applying self‐determination theory and functional motivations theory

    Open AccessKennon M Sheldon, Liudmila Titova et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community & Applied…2022Cited by: 1References: 4

    We assessed the motivations, commitment, and subjective well‐being (SWB) of 441 food bank volunteers, using motivation scales derived from self‐determination theory and functional motives theory. Replicating the findings of Sheldon, Wineland, Venhoeven, and Osin's (2016) study of environmental activists, all motivation scales could be located on the autonomous or controlled motivation factors specified by self‐determination theory (SDT). In addit…

  • Narcissism and social motives: Successful pursuit of egosystem goals boosts narcissism

    Kennon M Sheldon, Constantine Sedikides et al.ARTICLESelf and Identity2019

    We investigated the links between grandiose narcissism (agentic and communal) and social motives (social egosystem vs. social ecosystem). In Study 1, agentic narcissism was positively associated with egosystem (self-serving) motives, and was negatively associated with ecosystem (prosocial) motives, as assessed by explicit and more behavioral means. The pattern for communal narcissism was more complex, depending on mode of assessment. Striving for…

  • Disentangling the Effects of Gratitude and Optimism: A Cross-Cultural Investigation

    Open AccessLiudmila Titova, Audrey E Wagstaff et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2017Cited by: 4References: 36

    Previous research finds cultural differences in response to activities designed to increase happiness, or Positive Psychological Intervention (PPIs). The goal of the present study is to explore why different cultural groups respond differently to PPIs. Specifically, we examined responsiveness to PPIs in three cultural groups-Anglo-American, Asian American, and Indian (living in India)-both quantitatively and qualitatively. Participants ( n = 469)…
