Effects of Psychological Distance on Mental Abstraction: A Registered Report of Four Tests of Construal-Level Theory
Construal-level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: Things perceived as less probable (likelihood) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about more abstractly. In this international multilab study, we tested four basic hypotheses derived from core assumptions of CLT and explore pote…
Income inequality and self-others risk perception bias: Evidence from 49 countries
Self-other risk perception bias refers to the tendency for individuals to perceive their own risks as lower than those faced by others—a cognitive bias that can significantly influence decision-making and behavior, particularly in the context of health risks. This study, based on data from 42612 participants across 49 countries, investigates whether individuals tend to underestimate their own risk while overestimating the risk to others regarding…

Why Some Mindreaders Don’t Share: The Conditional Role of Moral Motivation in Preschool Prosociality
Previous research on the relationship between theory of mind (ToM) and prosocial behavior in early childhood has produced conflicting findings – positive, negative, and null. We hypothesized that such inconsistencies arise because ToM facilitates altruism only when supported by moral motivation. To test this, we examined how ToM and anticipated self-conscious emotions jointly predict sharing in a dictator game among 254 Chinese preschoolers. ToM …
Who is responsible for self-AI or others-AI collaboration? The effect of power and task outcome in responsibility attribution
A meta-analytic reassessment of the vicious cycle of psychopathology and stressful life events: Commentary on Rnic et al. (2023)
06 for independent stress. These effects were homogeneous across diverse samples, measures, and contexts. Moreover, even after controlling for Time 1 stress, dependent stress continued to mediate the relationship between baseline psychopathology and subsequent symptoms, whereas independent stress did not mediate, underscoring the role of dependent stress in perpetuating the cycle of stress and psychopathology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 A…

Laughing off cyber spoofing: The role of self-deprecating humor in enhancing celebrities’ interpersonal likeability
These findings suggest that self-deprecating humor can serve as an effective strategy for celebrities to navigate cyber spoofing, particularly when addressing a distant audience. The study highlights the role of social distance and perceived forgiveness in shaping audience responses, offering practical implications for celebrity image management on social media
Revisiting Ego Depletion: Evidence from Multi-Lab Collaborations
The ego depletion effect posits that initial exertion of self-control impairs subsequent self-regulatory performance. Despite being examined in over 1000 independent studies and cited extensively, recent large-scale studies have questioned its validity. We propose that the replicability of ego depletion may hinge on the intensity of the manipulation. Our new paradigm, involving a demanding antisaccade task lasting for 30–40 min followed by a Go-N…
Exploring the longitudinal dynamics of self-esteem, body image, and psychological resilience in college students
While the association between self-esteem and body image is well established, research on their long-term causal relationship in young people remains limited. This study addressed this gap by using three-wave longitudinal data and random intercept cross-lagged panel models to explore the bidirectional dynamics between self-esteem and body image, as well as the mediating role of psychological resilience. A sample of 313 college students (270 femal…
Childlessness and its associated factors among Chinese women: A nationwide population-based study

The influence of risk perception on protective behaviours: The moderating role of cultural tightness–looseness
Previous studies have indicated that risk perception influences individuals' willingness to engage in protective behaviours; however, the relationship between these two factors remains unclear. This study investigates whether Cultural Tightness–Looseness moderates this relationship. We employed Mixed‐Effects Models analysis on data from 29,456 participants across 32 countries, linking their risk perception and protective behaviours to the cultura…
Exploring the effects of long-term physical exercise on persistent and inhibitory self-control: Quasi-experimental research
This study aims to explore the effects of long-term physical exercise on different types of self-control, with a focus on persistent and inhibitory self-control. Two experiments were conducted using dual-task paradigms. In Experiment 1, the E-crossing task served as the depletion task, and the grip task was used to measure persistent self-control. Results indicated that long-term exercisers exhibited significantly better persistent self-control t…

Validity issues in measures of Covid-19 preventive behaviours
The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has become the most severe crisis in recent history. The virus spreads primarily through droplets people send out when they talk, sneeze, or cough. Therefore, preventive behaviours such as mask-wearing, social distancing, and movement restraint are integral to public health campaigns against the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, scientists have [...]
The Ego Could Be Depleted, Providing Initial Exertion Is Depleting: A Preregistered Experiment of the Ego Depletion Effect
The ego depletion effect has been examined by over 300 independent studies during the past two decades. Despite its pervasive influence, recently this effect has been severely challenged and asserted to be a fake. Based on an up-to-date meta-analysis that examined the effectiveness of each frequently used depleting task, we preregistered the current experiment with the aim to examine whether there would be an ego depletion effect when the Stroop …
Testing the role of glucose in self-control: A meta-analysis
Time to Set a New Research Agenda for Ego Depletion and Self-Control
The conceptualization of self-control capacity as a domain-general limited resource, and the accompanying state of low self-control resource, known as the ego depletion effect, has received considerable attention in social psychology literature. The effect has also been widely publicized in popular media largely due to its elegant simplicity and intuitive appeal. Since its inception (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, & Tice, 1998; Muraven, Tice, …
When More Depletion Offsets the Ego Depletion Effect
The ego depletion effect has been consistently replicated using the typical paradigm that consists of two consecutive tasks. However, striking contradiction exists in studies employing multiple tasks. The aim of the current study is to replicate previous studies following a similar procedure and design in a sample of participants from a non-western cultural background (Chinese), while strictly controlling other confounding factors, such as task d…

Relationship of 2D: 4D finger ratio with androgen receptor CAG and GGN repeat polymorphism
OBJECTIVES: The relative length of the second-to-fourth digits (2D:4D) has been linked with prenatal androgen in humans. A recent study shows that the 2D:4D ratio in mice is controlled by the balance of androgen to estrogen signaling during a narrow window of digit development. Androgen receptor (AR) activity is higher in digit 4 than in digit 2, and inactivation of AR decreases growth of digit 4, which causes a higher 2D:4D ratio. At the molecul…

Similarity as threat: A motivational explanation of self–other similarity judgment asymmetry
People tend to judge others to be more similar to themselves than themselves are to others. This self–other similarity judgment asymmetry was often explained by a cognitive model. However, some findings were inconsistent with this model, implying that there might be complementary processes underlying such asymmetry. Although a motivational explanation has been proposed to account for the asymmetry, little evidence has been accumulated to verify t…

Why Are Self-Report and Behavioral Measures Weakly Correlated?
Is there prejudice from thin air? Replicating the effect of emotion on automatic intergroup attitudes
These results suggest that, when there is no competition or conflict between groups, individuals, even in a bad emotional state such as anger, generally show ingroup love rather than outgroup hate
A Multilab Replication of the Ego Depletion Effect
There is an active debate regarding whether the ego depletion effect is real. A recent preregistered experiment with the Stroop task as the depleting task and the antisaccade task as the outcome task found a medium-level effect size. In the current research, we conducted a preregistered multilab replication of that experiment. Data from 12 labs across the globe ( N = 1,775) revealed a small and significant ego depletion effect, d = 0.10. After ex…
The Beauty of the Zero: Replications and Extensions of the Hidden-Zero Effect in Delay Discounting Tasks
Unlike the presentation format in a typical delay discounting task (e.g., “Would you prefer [A] US$4.3 today OR [B] US$7.5 in 22 days?”), Magen et al. inserted a zero to each alternative (e.g., “Would you prefer [A] US$4.3 today and US$0 in 22 days OR [B] US$0 today and US$7.5 in 22 days?”) and found this manipulation effectively reduced delay discounting ( d = .84), which was referred to as the hidden-zero effect. Study 1 was a direct replicatio…
Collectivism reduces objective mobility trends to public areas during the Covid-19 pandemic
In order to slow down the spread of the coronavirus, staying at home and avoiding going outside have been either strongly recommended or stringently enforced by governments all over the globe. Previous studies found that people with more collectivist orientation were more willing to comply with governmental guidelines and engage in preventive behaviors such as social distancing. However, these studies were based on self-report data within a short…
