Cross‐Cultural Validation and Measurement Equivalence of Instigated Workplace Incivility Scale
Although workplace incivility (WI) has been extensively studied, limited attention has been paid to its validation in culturally diverse contexts such as China and Pakistan. Addressing this gap, the present study examines the psychometric properties of the instigated WI scale within these two distinct cultural settings. Furthermore, it investigates the cross‐cultural measurement equivalence of the scale using a daily diary methodology. Participan…
Less is more when time is scarce
Time poverty – the chronic feeling of having insufficient time – has become pervasive in modern life, yet its influence on minimalistic consumption remains unexplored. Drawing on compensatory control theory, we propose that time poverty promotes minimalistic consumption through heightened need for order. Three experimental studies ( N = 660) provide evidence. Studies 1 and 2 suggest that time poverty causally increases preference for minimalistic…
Time poverty and access‐based consumption
Time poverty – the subjective experience of insufficient time – has become a pervasive phenomenon in contemporary societies, yet its psychological consequences for consumer decision‐making remain underexplored. Drawing on scarcity theory, we examine how time poverty shapes preferences for access‐based consumption (ABC) – temporary use without ownership – a market‐mediated model transforming consumer societies worldwide. Across four studies ( N = …
Time poverty increases self‐dehumanization through undermining belief in free will
The chronic experience of time poverty is a widespread global phenomenon with detrimental effects on cognition and well‐being. However, its impact on individuals' perceptions of their own humanity remains unexplored. We hypothesized that time poverty exacerbates self‐dehumanization by undermining belief in free will. Across four studies ( N = 994), we tested this hypothesis. Study 1 demonstrated a positive correlation between time poverty and sel…
Human-robot collaboration and customer-directed spillover
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is increasingly prevalent in hospitality and tourism, yet its affective implications for employees remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on Affective Events Theory and the Effort-Recovery Model, this study proposes state job apathy as a novel low-activation affective mechanism linking daily HRC to next-morning customer-directed behaviors, specifically enacted incivility toward customers and customer stewardship…

Impact of maternal digital competence on child health status
Time Poverty Predicts an Imbalance Between Help-Seeking and Help-Giving
Time poverty, a persistent feeling of insufficient time, significantly affects interpersonal dynamics, particularly help-seeking and help-giving. Across five studies using hypothetical scenarios (Studies 1a and 1b), academic (Study 2), and everyday contexts (Study 3), we found that time poverty consistently fosters a mismatch wherein individuals’ help-seeking behaviors exceed their willingness to provide help, regardless of task interdependence (…

Parental perceptions of economic inequality and investment in children's organized extracurricular activities
Escalations in parental investments in organized extracurricular activities (OEAs) have garnered significant interest from both scholars and policymakers. The current study investigates the relationship between parental perceived economic inequality and parental investment in OEAs while also considering the potential mediating role of parental perceived competition among children and the moderating role of the expected return to education. Study …
Caregivers' time poverty, parenting styles and children's growth mindset
Time poverty is increasingly prevalent in contemporary society, particularly among working parents. This research, consisting of three studies, investigated the impact of caregivers' time poverty on parenting styles and its subsequent association with children's growth mindset regarding intelligence. Study 1a ( N = 149 caregivers) revealed that priming caregivers' perceptions of time poverty resulted in lower autonomy‐supportive parenting and hig…

Passive green space exposure leading to lower aggression
Green spaces, integral to natural environments, have been extensively studied for their positive impact on mental health, yet their influence on social behavior, particularly aggression, is less explored. While prior research has predominantly emphasized the effects of actively engaging with nature, the significant role of passive nature exposure—a more common daily occurrence—has often been overlooked. We conducted two studies to explore the inf…
Why do people always want more? Perceived economic inequality leads people to be greedy by enhancing relative deprivation
Greedy phenomena have dramatically increased in societies. However, despite the universality of greedy behaviour, empirical research on the causes of greed is scarce. In this context, we propose that perceived economic inequality may be an important factor influencing greed. Study 1 provided primary evidence of a positive relationship between perceived economic inequality and greed, based on data from a large‐scale social survey (CFPS 2018, N = 1…

Our goal is to establish a non-adversarial replication process with highly informative final results. To illustrate the Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) approach, 25 research groups conducted replica…
The Profile of Ponzi Scheme Victims in China and the Characteristics of Their Decision-making Process
Ponzi schemes have begun flourishing in China in recent years. However, there is a dearth of empirical research on the victims of Ponzi schemes. The current study investigated the demographic characteristics of the victims of a Ponzi scheme based on archived data of 698 people, 30 of whom were invited to participate in in-depth interviews. Based on the interview data, we investigated why the victims invested in the scheme the first time, why they…
The Effect of Group Boundary Permeability on Intergroup Prejudice
The developing world is witness to a major urban transformation. How to facilitate intergroup relations between new migrants and long-time urban residents is a critical issue in developing societies globally. The current research explored the effect of group boundary permeability on intergroup prejudice by the case of rural-to-urban migration in China. As the boundary between rural-to-urban migrants and permanent urban residents in China can be a…
Work-Recreation Balance, Health-Promoting Lifestyles and Suboptimal Health Status in Southern China
Suboptimal health status (SHS)-an intermediate state between health and illness--refers to functional somatic symptoms that are medically undiagnosed. Although- SHS has become a great challenge for global public health, very little about its etiology and mechanisms are known. Work-recreation balance is a part of work-life balance, and is related to stress which greatly influences health status. We therefore carried out a cross-sectional investiga…
The Role of Stress Management in the Relationship between Purpose in Life and Self-Rated Health in Teachers

Relative Deprivation Leads to the Endorsement of “Anti-Chicken Soup” in China
Anti-chicken soup" (ACS) persuades people to yield to reality and give up rather than encouraging people to work hard as "chicken soup" does. The current study explored whether people with a higher level of relative deprivation (RD) would be more likely to endorse ACS. We found that people with high-measured (Study 1) and manipulated (Study 2) RD were more likely to endorse ACS. Study 2 also suggested that the effect was mediated by self-handicap…
