Self-discontinuity aids intentions to remain in recovery by undermining nostalgia for the benefits of the eating disorder
Introduction: We explored the challenges associated with maintaining recovery from an eating disorder (ED) and the factors that contribute to these difficulties. Specifically, we investigated whether a sense of self-discontinuity or self-continuity with one's former ED self influences intentions to remain in recovery, and whether nostalgia for the perceived benefits of the ED mediates this relation. Methods: Among 189 people in recovery from an E…
When memory meets anxiety: Collective nostalgia (civic- and homogeneity-focused) and collective angst shape strong leader support and voting behaviour
Elections are moments when nations confront uncertainty about their future and re-examine their past. The present research investigated how two temporal, group-based emotions jointly shape political preferences and behaviour: collective nostalgia (longing for the group’s past) and collective angst (concern for the group’s future). We focused on the 2024 United States federal election, examining how civic-focused nostalgia (longing for civility an…
Explaining Unique and Common Variance in Financially Focused Self‐Concept From Dark Triad and Honesty‐Humility Personality Traits Using Commonality Analyses
We investigated the personality correlates of financially focused self-concept, a construct describing individuals who overemphasise financial success as central to their self-definition and self-worth. We examined the unique and shared associations between financially focused self-concept and the Dark Triad traits (Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism) as well as Honesty-Humility at the facet level to provide greater specificity than tra…

When Love and Money Collide: The Role of Financially Focused Self‐Concept in Relationships
This research examined whether people's own and their partner's financially focused self‐concept are associated with relationship satisfaction in a sample of UK couples ( N = 388 participants). Results showed that financial harmony in a romantic relationship is influenced not only by an individual's own financial focus but also by their partner's financial focus. Contrary to expectations, however, the degree to which financial resources were inte…

The secrets that you keep: Secrets and relationship quality
Research indicates that preoccupation with secrets takes a toll on mental health. There is also some evidence to suggest that keeping secrets from one's romantic partner may harm the relationship as it implies a lack of trust that one's partner will be supportive. Two 4‐wave longitudinal surveys of 609 adults (34.3% men, 65.4% women; M age = 36.4) keeping a secret from their romantic partner was used to assess the lagged effect of preoccupation w…
Financially focused self-concept and disordered gambling are bidirectionally related over time
Objective Prior research has shown a moderately positive association between financially focused self-concept and disordered gambling. Because most prior research was cross-sectional, it is unclear whether financially focused self-concept contributes to the onset and maintenance of disordered gambling whether a financially focused self-concept is a consequence of disordered gambling, or both. Thus, we addressed this gap in knowledge by examining …
Examining the role of psychological needs and passion in problem video gaming
Video game play is a pervasive behavior, and researchers suggest there may be both adaptive and maladaptive consequences of gaming. Using Self-Determination Theory and the Dualistic Model of Passion frameworks, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between passion, psychological needs, and problematic gaming. Across two studies and an integrative data analysis (IDA) that pooled the data of Studies 1 and 2, we hypothesized tha…
Understanding Lower-Risk Cannabis Consumption from the Consumers’ Perspective: A Rapid Evidence Assessment
Background: In the current rapid evidence assessment, we summarize the existing research on lower-risk cannabis consumption as understood by those who consume cannabis. Methods: We identified 7111 unique articles published between 1900 and 2021 using search terms related to a) cannabis consumption, b) beliefs and behaviors, and c) positive outcomes. Results: Twelve articles met our inclusion criteria. Three themes emerged that reflect lower-risk …

Social movement strategy (nonviolent vs. violent) and the garnering of third‐party support: A meta‐analysis
An emerging literature suggests that the success of social movements depends, partly, on their ability to garner support from third‐party groups. One factor that appears to predict support is social movements’ use of nonviolent (compared to violent) strategies to achieve their goals. However, this literature is not definitive. Herein, we report the results of a meta‐analysis of research that has assessed the effect of the use of nonviolence on th…
Using social and behavioural science to support Covid-19 pandemic response
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a massive global health crisis. Because the crisis requires large-scale behaviour change and places significant psychological burdens on individuals, insights from the social and behavioural sciences can be used to help align human behavior with the recommendations of epidemiologists and public health experts. Here we discuss evidence from a selection of research topics relevant to pandemics, including work on nav…
Financially focused self-concept in disordered gambling: Comparisons between non-disordered and disordered gambling subtypes
Background Having a self-concept that is focused on a single life domain has been implicated in various emotional and behavioral disorders, including depression, body image disorders, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. Herein, we extended research on having a focused self-concept by testing the idea that a self-concept focused on financial success is a core feature of disordered gambling. We also hypothesized that the degree of finan…

Empathetic collective angst predicts perpetrator group members’ support for the empowerment of the victimized group
Although victimized groups have a need to recover diminished power, perpetrator groups are often reluctant to support actions that may undermine their own systemic advantages. We hypothesized that perpetrator group members' experience of empathetic collective angst-a group-based emotion focused on concern for the future vitality of an outgroup-mediates the relation between the perception of threat to the future of the victimized group and support…
Will we be harmed, will it be severe, can we protect ourselves? Threat appraisals predict collective angst (and its consequences)
Across four studies, we applied the cognitive model of anxiety to explicate the appraisals that elicit collective angst (i.e., concern for the in‐group's future vitality). In Study 1a, consistent with the model, Québécois experienced collective angst when they appraised the following: (1) a threat as likely to harm their group, (2) a threat as severely harming their group, and (3) Québécois as not having efficacy to protect their group. In Study …
To dissent and protect: Stronger collective identification increases willingness to dissent when group norms evoke collective angst
Research has shown that collective angst (i.e., concern for a group’s future vitality) triggers ingroup protective responses. The current studies examined whether group members seek to protect their group by dissenting from collective angst-inducing group norms. We hypothesized that strong (vs. weak) identifiers holding non-normative opinions would be more willing to dissent, but only when the normative opinion elicited collective angst. In Study…

Longitudinal Associations of Need for Cognition, Cognitive Activity, and Depressive Symptomatology With Cognitive Function in Recent Retirees
Our findings indicate that motivational disposition plays a significant role in enhancing cognitive status in retirees, as do variety of cognitive activities. Additionally, subclinical depressive symptomatology can negatively influence cognitive status in young-old retirees. These results have implications for the design of interventions aimed at maintaining the cognitive health of retirees
