Validation of the aristotelian virtue of conscientiousness scale using confirmatory factor analysis
Aristotelian virtue theory conceptualises virtues as enduring dispositions to behave, reason, and feel in appropriate ways, integrating cognitive, affective, and behavioural components that contribute to wellbeing. Despite the emphasis on these distinct yet interrelated components, few studies have validated a comprehensive virtue model incorporating all essential elements outlined by Aristotle. This study aimed to validate the Aristotelian Virtu…
The virtue of conscientiousness
Development and validation of the aristotelian virtue of conscientiousness scale using Rasch methodology
In the dominant Aristotelian view, virtues are traits that contribute to human flourishing, happiness and well-being. Although some scales in psychology are partially based on Aristotelian virtue theory, few of them operationalise all the aspects of virtues that Aristotle took to be essential. The aim of this project was to develop and validate the Aristotelian Virtue of Conscientiousness Scale (AVCS). The initial 60 scale items were developed ba…

The real ethical problem with metaverses
Many philosophers hold that the human risks associated with the development and use of metaverses arise primarily from their status–they are unreal in ways that make the experiences within them meaningless and thereby less prudentially valuable. This purported unreality is not merely a result of the virtual or intangible nature of metaverses. Rather, it arises from the idea that, regardless of the experiences, interactions, and affordances of met…
Predictors of Life Satisfaction in New Zealand
The study aim was to determine prevalence and predictors of life satisfaction in New Zealand. In this observational cross-sectional study, a sample of 10,799 participants from NZ were drawn from the Gallup World Poll from 2006 to 2017. Data were analysed using regression analysis and ANOVA. Prevalence of life satisfaction across time varied little from a high of 7.61 ( SD = 1.6) in 2007 to a low of 7.23 ( SD = 1.73) in 2011 (range 0-10). Satisfac…
Religiosity Moderates the Relationship between Income Inequality and Life Satisfaction across the Globe
Does thinking about the meaning of life make you happy in a religious and globalised world? A 75-nation study
This paper reports on a multilevel study of 75 nations, which tests two hypotheses that arose from considering Tolstoy's experience of thinking about the meaning and purpose of life. The globalisation-as-exacerbator hypothesis predicts that as globalisation increases, the relationship between thinking about the meaning and purpose of life and life satisfaction becomes more negative. The religiosity-as-buffer hypothesis predicts that as religiosit…
