Entitativity Predicts “Counter-Allyship” Towards a Black Woman Complainant of Violent Sexual Harassment Through Elevated Promiscuity Attributions
Black women in the United States continue to face disproportionate gender-based sexual violence, often compounded by stereotypes that portray them as sexually promiscuous. This study examines how perceptions of entitativity —the belief that Black women form a cohesive, interchangeable group—shape negative reactions toward a Black woman who reports workplace sexual harassment by a White supervisor. Using a sample of White American adults ( N = 197…
Does personality functioning influence perception of social distance amongst Czech students studying in an international university, a state university and the general population
This study investigates the differences of personality functioning and attitudes toward minorities amongst Czech university students and the general population. Utilizing the newly developed scale measuring the concept of personality functioning (Level of Personality Functioning Scale - LPFS), the Modern Racism Scale (MRS), the Blatant and Subtle Prejudice Scale (BSPS) and the Bogardus Social Distance Scale, we compared 75 Czech students from an …
Circumplex Models with Multivariate Time Series: An Idiographic Approach
The circumplex model posits a circular representation of affect and some personality traits. There is an increasing need to examine the viability of the circumplex model with multivariate time series data collected on the same individuals due to the development of new data collection methods such as smartphone applications and wearable sensors. Estimating the circumplex model with time series data is more complex than with cross-sectional data be…
Academic but not social self-esteem mediates the association between Chinese adolescents’ perceived parental psychological control and depressive symptoms
Parental psychological control has been consistently shown to have a strong impact on adolescents’ self-development and mental well-being. However, the majority of research on the link between parental psychological control, self-esteem, and mental health is conducted in Western nations and has primary focused on global self-esteem. The current study drew on non-Western data and tested a mediation model in which adolescents’ academic and social s…
Subjective Executive Functioning in Relation to Physical Distancing Compliance
Objectives: In this study, we assessed whether college students' social norm compliance (i. e., COVID-19 physical distancing compliance) predicted executive functioning (EF) after controlling for socioeconomic and mental health factors. Methods: Undergraduate students (N=302; age ≥ 18 years) from the University of California, Riverside participated in the study by completing an online survey assessing subjective EF, mental health (loneliness, dep…
Predicting Chinese Adolescents’ Depressive Symptoms from Their Cultural Orientations and Perceived Parental Psychological Control
Research on adolescents across cultures has suggested a positive link between parental psychological control and adolescent depression. While a few studies have examined psychological outcomes of adolescents in collectivist groups compared to individualist groups, much less is known about the role of cultural orientations in the parental control-depression link at the individual level. The current study examined: (1) both mother and father psycho…
Intimate Partner Violence in Fiji: How the Perpetrator Is “Rewarded” for Perceived Victim Suffering
Although intimate partner violence is rampant in Fiji, limited research has investigated the perception of appropriate legal sanctions for the perpetrators. We explored whether victim characteristics and perceived victim suffering would independently or jointly influence perpetrator-directed legal sanctions. Undergraduates read an IPV passage with the victim portrayed as a sexual norm violator, a career-focused mother, or a control victim. At hig…
Evidence of assortative mating for theory of mind via facial expressions but not language
Assortative mating is a phenomenon in which romantic partners typically resemble each other at a level greater than chance. There is converging evidence that social behaviours are subject to assortative mating, though less is known regarding social cognition. Social functioning requires the ability to identify and understand the mental states of others, i.e., theory of mind. The present study recruited a sample of 102 heterosexual couples via an …

Gender Roles in the Millennium: Who Pays and Is Expected to Pay for Romantic Dates
Research on monetary decisions and behaviors in dating relationships is very limited. The purpose of this study was to examine college students' current practice and expectations for date payment for first and subsequent romantic dates in the framework of gender role theory. A sample of 552 heterosexual college students took an online survey that included questions about their actual and expected payment for their first and subsequent dates. Part…
Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Reactions to Snooping: The Role of Attachment Characteristics
Although snooping is common in romantic relationships, there has been limited research on reactions to being snooped by a romantic partner. This study was designed to examine the role of attachment style in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions to partner snooping. Participants ( n = 491) read one of four hypothetical scenarios that involved partner snooping through electronic or nonelectronic belongings and reported their reactions in a…
Relating Gender to Sex: Gendered Attitudes, Sexual Double Standard, Sexual Intentions and Behaviors in two Chinese Adolescent Samples
Adolescence is a critical life stage when individuals further consolidate their gender role concepts, develop sexual beliefs, and likely begin to experiment with sexual behaviors. While there have been numerous studies on adolescents' gender role attitudes, sexual beliefs, and sexual behaviors, the bulk of this research has been based on Western samples. The current study aimed to expand our knowledge of adolescents' gender and sexuality by exami…

Assortative mating and couple similarity: Patterns, mechanisms, and consequences
Assortative mating refers to the tendency of two partners' characteristics to be matched in a systematic manner, usually in the form of similarity. Mating with a similar partner has profound implications at the species, societal, and individual levels. This article provides a comprehensive review of research on couple similarity since 1980s. The review begins with the general patterns and trends observed in couple similarity on a range of domains…
Perception of global climate change as a mediator of the effects of major and religious affiliation on college students’ environmentally responsible behavior
Previous research has shown a reliable association between environmental education and environmentally responsible behavior (ERB). Research has also shown that aspects of religion were associated with ERB. However, the mechanisms of associations are unclear. This study builds on previous research addressing the relationship between student major, religious affiliation, and ERB in two important ways. First, we tested the role of global climate cha…
Bootstrap Confidence Intervals for Ordinary Least Squares Factor Loadings and Correlations in Exploratory Factor Analysis
This article is concerned with using the bootstrap to assign confidence intervals for rotated factor loadings and factor correlations in ordinary least squares exploratory factor analysis. Coverage performances of SE-based intervals, percentile intervals, bias-corrected percentile intervals, bias-corrected accelerated percentile intervals, and hybrid intervals are explored using simulation studies involving different sample sizes, perfect and imp…
Using cross-sectional couple data to disentangle the causality between positive partner perceptions and marital satisfaction
What Leads to Romantic Attraction: Similarity, Reciprocity, Security, or Beauty? Evidence From a Speed‐Dating Study
Years of attraction research have established several “principles” of attraction with robust evidence. However, a major limitation of previous attraction studies is that they have almost exclusively relied on well‐controlled experiments, which are often criticized for lacking ecological validity. The current research was designed to examine initial attraction in a real‐life setting—speed‐dating. Social Relations Model analyses demonstrated that i…
Do birds of a feather flock together in China
Evidence of couple similarity was examined in 2 nationally representative samples ( N s = 536 and 537 couples) from mainland China. Variable‐centered and couple‐centered tests provided convergent results suggesting that husbands and wives were considerably similar on characteristics of 3 broad categories: demographic variables, values, and personality. Additional tests suggest that value and personality similarities were not likely to be due to s…
Predicting Marital Satisfaction From Self, Partner, and Couple Characteristics: Is It Me, You, or Us
Past research on the link between personal characteristics and marital satisfaction has taken either an individual or a dyadic approach. The individual approach examines how self and/or partner characteristics are associated with satisfaction, whereas the dyadic approach focuses on couple characteristics such as couple similarity. The current research was designed to integrate both approaches. A modified Actor‐Partner Interdependence Model ( Kash…
Assortative Mating and Marital Quality in Newlyweds: A Couple-Centered Approach
Using a couple-centered approach, the authors examined assortative mating on a broad range of variables in a large (N = 291) sample of newlyweds. Couples showed substantial similarity on attitude-related domains but little on personality-related domains. Similarity was not due to social homogamy or convergence. The authors examined linear and curvilinear effects of spouse similarity on self and observer indicators of marital quality. Results show…
Interpersonal attraction and personality: What is attractive--self similarity, ideal similarity, complementarity or attachment security
Little is known about whether personality characteristics influence initial attraction. Because adult attachment differences influence a broad range of relationship processes, the authors examined their role in 3 experimental attraction studies. The authors tested four major attraction hypotheses--self similarity, ideal-self similarity, complementarity, and attachment security--and examined both actual and perceptual factors. Replicated analyses …
