  • Gender inequality and cultural values in explaining gender differences in positive and negative emotions: A comparison of 24 countries during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open Access•Robin Wollast, Adrian Lüders et al.•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2025

    The coronavirus pandemic posed a major challenge to mental health. Existing evidence shows that COVID-19 is related to poor emotional well-being, particularly among women. However, most work on the subject uses single-country samples, limiting the ability to generalize the disparity or explain it as a function of societal variables. The present study investigates the expression of positive and negative emotions during the pandemic as a function o…

  • Guilt, shame, and antiwar action in an authoritarian country at war

    Open Access•Lusine Grigoryan, Vladimir Ponizovskiy et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 40

    Feeling guilt and shame for the harm done to others by the ingroup can facilitate intergroup reconciliation. Most of the studies showing this effect are conducted in democratic countries and on historical, not current, conflicts. We investigated the role of group‐based guilt and shame in collective action in an authoritarian country at war. We asked more than 1000 Russians living in Russia, in a sample representative of the country's population b…

  • Constructive Functions of Dreams: From a Theoretical Model to an Empirical Validation. Part 2

    Open Access•Evgeny Osin, P A Egorova et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural-Historical Psychology•2024•References: 2

    The second part of the article presents an empirical investigation of the hypotheses concerning the positive functions of dreaming set forth in the first part of the article. Study 1 describes the development and validation of the Constructive dreaming Inventory (CDI). The bifactor four-factor ESEM model showed good agreement with empirical data: the questionnaire includes the Overall Constructive Dreaming Index and four specific scales (Dream Pr…

  • The Precarity of Progress: Implications of a Shifting Gendered Division of Labor for Relationships and Well-Being as a Function of Country-Level Gender Equality

    Open Access•Alexandra N Fisher, Michelle K Ryan et al.•ARTICLE•Sex Roles•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 12

    The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic saw a shift toward a more traditional division of labor–one where women took greater responsibility for household tasks and childcare than men. We tested whether this regressive shift was more acutely perceived and experienced by women in countries with greater gender equality. Cross-cultural longitudinal survey data for women and men ( N = 10,238) was collected weekly during the first few months of the pandemic…

  • Dark Triad and the attitude toward military violence against civilians: The role of moral disengagement

    Open Access•Olga Gulevich, Evgeny Osin et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 60

    Scholars pay great attention to sociopsychological factors that predict attitudes toward military action, but they rarely address personality variables. The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between the Dark Triad traits, general moral disengagement, and military attitudes. We conducted three surveys between May and November 2022 in three samples of Russian residents (N = 736, 795, and 752). The results showed that the Dark Tr…

  • From oppressive to affirmative: Situating the health and well‐being of LGBTIQ+ people as impacted by systemic and structural transitions in Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, and India

    Open Access•Diana Cherian Ahuwalia, Purnima Singh et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•2024•Cited by: 7•References: 82

    Inequity in health and well‐being is driven by systemic, political, and structural forces that, along with social factors, influence the allocation, access, and impact of health resources across communities based on religion, gender, caste, sexuality, and ability. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning, and plus (LGBTIQ+) communities, marginalized for subverting cis‐gender norms, face heightened risks of poor health, wel…

  • Intentions to be Vaccinated Against Covid-19: The Role of Prosociality and Conspiracy Beliefs across 20 Countries

    Violeta Enea, Nikolett Eisenbeck et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2023

    Understanding the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake is important to inform policy decisions and plan vaccination campaigns. The aims of this research were to: (1) explore the individual- and country-level determinants of intentions to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, and (2) examine worldwide variation in vaccination intentions. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted during the first wave of the pandemic, involving 6697 responden…

  • Psychological Factors Underlying Attitudes toward War: A Theoretical Review

    Open Access•Olga Gulevich, Evgeny Osin•ARTICLE•Sociology of power•2023

    People have different attitudes toward military action as a way of resolving international conflicts. In this article we will examine the psychological approach to the study of these attitudes: (a) the levels of attitudes toward war (attitudes toward specific military campaigns vs. general attitude toward war as a way of resolving international conflicts); (b) psychological (individual, social-psychological, and situational) factors predicting th…

  • Pandemic boredom: Little evidence that lockdown-related boredom affects risky public health behaviors across 116 countries

    Erin C Westgate, Nicholas Buttrick et al.•ARTICLE•Emotion•2023

    Some public officials have expressed concern that policies mandating collective public health behaviors (e.g., national/regional "lockdown") may result in behavioral fatigue that ultimately renders such policies ineffective. Boredom, specifically, has been singled out as one potential risk factor for noncompliance. We examined whether there was empirical evidence to support this concern during the COVID-19 pandemic in a large cross-national sampl…

  • Constructive Functions of Dreams: From a Theoretical Model to an Empirical Validation. Part 1

    Open Access•Evgeny Osin, P A Egorova et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural-Historical Psychology•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 2

    The article presents a description of the theoretical model of dreams and constructive dreaming, developed by a team of authors (Osin E.N., Kedrova N.B., Egorova P.A.). The dreaming is considered by the authors as a phenomenon of culture. The article provides a brief comparative analysis of the content of the concepts of “dream” and “dreaming” in English-speaking and Russian-speaking cultures, and also shows the differences in psychological appro…

  • Identifying important individual‐ and country‐level predictors of conspiracy theorizing: A machine learning analysis

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 50

    Psychological research on the predictors of conspiracy theorizing—explaining important social and political events or circumstances as secret plots by malevolent groups—has flourished in recent years. However, research has typically examined only a small number of predictors in one, or a small number of, national contexts. Such approaches make it difficult to examine the relative importance of predictors, and risk overlooking some potentially rel…

  • Self-concordant goals breed goal-optimism and thus well-being

    Open Access•Kennon M Sheldon, Kennon Sheldon et al.•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2022

  • How you choose is as important as what you choose: Subjective quality of choice predicts well-being and academic performance

    Open Access•Dmitry Leontiev, Evgeny Osin et al.•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2022

    The paper proposes a new approach to measuring key parameters of choice as intentional activity. We developed and validated a 23-item questionnaire called the Subjective Quality of Choice (SQC) which measures four qualitative dimensions of choice: elaboration, emotional valence, autonomy, and satisfaction with the outcome. Three validation studies are presented. In the first study respondents from a large online sample evaluated the quality of im…

  • Lockdown Lives: A Longitudinal Study of Inter-Relationships Among Feelings of Loneliness, Social Contacts, and Solidarity During the Covid-19 Lockdown in Early 2020

    Open Access•Jolien van Breen, Maja Kutlaca et al.•ARTICLE•Personality and Social Psychology…•2022

    We examine how social contacts and feelings of solidarity shape experiences of loneliness during the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From the PsyCorona database, we obtained longitudinal data from 23 countries, collected between March and May 2020. The results demonstrated that although online contacts help to reduce feelings of loneliness, people who feel more lonely are less likely to use that strategy. Solidarity played only a small role in s…

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

    Open Access•Kennon M Sheldon, Evgeny Osin et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community & Applied…•2022•References: 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 Access•Kennon M Sheldon, Liudmila Titova et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community & Applied…•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 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…

  • Need satisfaction in intergroup contact: A multinational study of pathways toward social change

    Tabea Hässler, Johannes Ullrich et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2022•Cited by: 6

    What role does intergroup contact play in promoting support for social change toward greater social equality? Drawing on the needs-based model of reconciliation, we theorized that when inequality between groups is perceived as illegitimate, disadvantaged group members will experience a need for empowerment and advantaged group members a need for acceptance. When intergroup contact satisfies each group's needs, it should result in more mutual supp…

  • We are all in the same boat’: How societal discontent affects intention to help during the Covid ‐19 pandemic

    Open Access•Elena Resta, Silvana Mula et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community & Applied…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 11

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global health crisis. Consequently, many countries have adopted restrictive measures that caused a substantial change in society. Within this framework, it is reasonable to suppose that a sentiment of societal discontent, defined as generalized concern about the precarious state of society, has arisen. Literature shows that collectively experienced situations can motivate people to hel…

  • Country‐level correlates of the Dark Triad traits in 49 countries

    Open Access•P K Jonason, Magdalena Żemojtel-Piotrowska et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2020

    OBJECTIVES: The Dark Triad traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) capture individual differences in aversive personality to complement work on other taxonomies, such as the Big Five traits. However, the literature on the Dark Triad traits relies mostly on samples from English-speaking (i.e., Westernized) countries. We broadened the scope of this literature by sampling from a wider array of countries. METHOD: = 21.53) to examine …

  • The Сoncept of Self-compassion: A Russian Adaptation of the Scale by Kristin Neff

    Open Access•Ksenia Chistopolskaya, Evgeny Osin et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural-Historical Psychology•2020•References: 7

    The article describes a relatively new psychological construct of self-compassion and its relation to another well-known notion, self-esteem. Arguments are presented in favor of the new construct in working with adolescents and patients. According to that, there is a need of an adaptation on a Russian sample of the scale, which measures self-compassion. It was hypothesized that the Self-Compassion Scale by K. Neff will be an appropriate instrumen…

  • Expressive Suppression of Negative and Positive Emotions in Russia and Azerbaijan

    Open Access•А Панкратова, Evgeny Osin et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural-Historical Psychology•2019•References: 4

    Expressive suppression may have negative consequences when used as an emotional regulation strategy. However, the extent of these consequences is very different in strongly individualist and collectivist cultures, as studies comparing the USA and China have revealed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of expressive suppression in Russia and Azerbaijan where the levels of individualism/ collectivism are comparable and mode…

  • A Global Look at Time: A 24-Country Study of the Equivalence of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory

    Open Access•Anna Sircova, Fons J R Van De Vijver et al.•ARTICLE•SAGE Open•2014•Cited by: 9•References: 37

    In this article, we assess the structural equivalence of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) across 26 samples from 24 countries ( N = 12,200). The ZTPI is proven to be a valid and reliable index of individual differences in time perspective across five temporal categories: Past Negative, Past Positive, Present Fatalistic, Present Hedonistic, and Future. We obtained evidence for invariance of 36 items (out of 56) and also the five-fact…

    Cultural stereotypes and considerable psychological research suggest that Russians are less happy and more stoic than Americans and Westerners. However, a second possibility is simply that cultural norms deter Russians from displaying happiness that they actually feel. To test this second possibility, three studies compared the emotional inhibition tendencies in U.S. and Russian student samples. Although Russians and Americans were no different o…

However, the extent of these consequences is very different in strongly individualist and collectivist cultures, as studies comparing the USA and China have revealed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of expressive suppression in Russia and Azerbaijan where the levels of individualism/ collectivism are comparable and mode…

    Open Access•P K Jonason, Magdalena Żemojtel-Piotrowska et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2020

    OBJECTIVES: The Dark Triad traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) capture individual differences in aversive personality to complement work on other taxonomies, such as the Big Five traits. However, the literature on the Dark Triad traits relies mostly on samples from English-speaking (i.e., Westernized) countries. We broadened the scope of this literature by sampling from a wider array of countries. METHOD: = 21.53) to examine …

    Open Access•Ksenia Chistopolskaya, Evgeny Osin et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural-Historical Psychology•2020•References: 7

    The article describes a relatively new psychological construct of self-compassion and its relation to another well-known notion, self-esteem. Arguments are presented in favor of the new construct in working with adolescents and patients. According to that, there is a need of an adaptation on a Russian sample of the scale, which measures self-compassion. It was hypothesized that the Self-Compassion Scale by K. Neff will be an appropriate instrumen…

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global health crisis. Consequently, many countries have adopted restrictive measures that caused a substantial change in society.

  • How you choose is as important as what you choose: Subjective quality of choice predicts well-being and academic performance

    Open Access•Dmitry Leontiev, Evgeny Osin et al.•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2022

    The paper proposes a new approach to measuring key parameters of choice as intentional activity. We developed and validated a 23-item questionnaire called the Subjective Quality of Choice (SQC) which measures four qualitative dimensions of choice: elaboration, emotional valence, autonomy, and satisfaction with the outcome. Three validation studies are presented. In the first study respondents from a large online sample evaluated the quality of im…

  • Lockdown Lives: A Longitudinal Study of Inter-Relationships Among Feelings of Loneliness, Social Contacts, and Solidarity During the Covid-19 Lockdown in Early 2020

    Open Access•Jolien van Breen, Maja Kutlaca et al.•ARTICLE•Personality and Social Psychology…•2022

    We examine how social contacts and feelings of solidarity shape experiences of loneliness during the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From the PsyCorona database, we obtained longitudinal data from 23 countries, collected between March and May 2020. The results demonstrated that although online contacts help to reduce feelings of loneliness, people who feel more lonely are less likely to use that strategy. Solidarity played only a small role in s…

    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…
