Help! I need somebody
Research has established distinct categories of support-seeking behaviors, including direct, indirect, emotional, and instrumental support-seeking. However, no existing scale incorporates all four types of support-seeking within romantic relationships in one measure. Understanding how individuals seek support from romantic partners is crucial for managing stress, relationship satisfaction, and well-being. We aimed to create and validate the Roman…
The social benefits of self-disclosure and self-presentation through social media
Grounded in the Uses and Gratifications theory, this review contributes to the rapidly-evolving field of social media research by examining the association between observable self-disclosure and/or self-presentation on social media and positive interpersonal outcomes, and integrating findings across disciplines. We focused on non-clinical adult populations and studies published after 2004, available in English; 57 articles (containing 73 studies)…
Attachment, Perceived Partner Phubbing, and Retaliation
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a diary study to investigate the role of adult attachment on responses to daily perceived partner phubbing in a sample of couple members (N = 196). METHOD: We focused on personal and relational well-being as well as reactions to phubbing, retaliation reports, and motives as outcomes. RESULTS: Results showed that on days when participants perceived their partner as phubbing them more, participants higher in attachment anxie…
From Shares to Social Ties
Drawing on Uses and Gratifications Theory, this study investigates the link between social media self‐disclosure and self‐presentation and perceived interpersonal benefits. Whereas self‐disclosure involves communicating personal facts, self‐presentation describes selectively using self‐enhancing information to influence others' impressions. We conducted a cross‐sectional survey with participants from Brazil ( n = 216) and Indonesia ( n = 227), ex…
Examining maternal health literacy as a mediator of the relationship between social vulnerability and caregiving practices for improving infant development
This study examined whether specific dimensions of maternal health literacy mediated the relationship between social vulnerability and maternal caregiving confidence, specifically breastfeeding self-efficacy and maternal beliefs about play, among 168 mothers of newborns in Soweto, South Africa. Social vulnerability was measured using an adapted Social Vulnerability Index, and structural equation modelling was used to assess direct and indirect as…
Advocating for an integrated healthcare model for women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countries
Increasingly, women are presenting in pregnancy with multi-risk and multi-morbidity profiles (combinations of pro-inflammatory diets, trauma, anxiety, depression, infections, metabolic disease, and chronic medication use); together these may independently or interactively impact fetal development. Research indicates that high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the maternal womb, as well as the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytok…
Development of the Southampton Experiential Avoidance and Acceptance Scale (Seaas)
Acceptance is an important construct in various psychological models seeking to describe psychological distress and emotion regulation. Existing measures either focus on broader constructs like psychological flexibility or lack proper validation. There are no established tools which measure acceptance as a general process, as defined within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The absence of valid and reliable measures impedes research on acc…
Gendering Narcissism
Research has only recently begun to explore narcissism in women using gender-inclusive assessments that move beyond traditional male-centric frameworks associated with grandiosity. Such work indicates gender differences in the onset and expression of narcissism, and risk factors of partner violence perpetration. The pathways to offending in narcissism may therefore be gendered but have yet to be tested. In this study, we investigated the mediatin…
Mean Girls in Disguise? Associations Between Vulnerable Narcissism and Perpetration of Bullying Among Women
The literature on bullying perpetration is underpinned by gendered undertones, commonly portraying men as bullies given men’s greater tendency to exhibit stereotypically masculine and overtly grandiose features of narcissism. Due to the lack of gender-sensitive inventories employed, the association between narcissism and bullying perpetration among women remains understudied. Using an all-women sample ( N = 314), the current study explored grandi…
Exploring the differential contribution of boldness, meanness, and disinhibition to explain externalising and internalising behaviours across genders
Perceived partner phubbing predicts lower relationship quality but partners’ enacted phubbing does not
Perceptions of partner phubbing can be detrimental for romantic relationship functioning. However, research does not typically focus on couple members' reports of their own phubbing behavior and how this relates to relationship functioning. Our aim was to examine both perceptions of partner phubbing and reports of one's own enacted phubbing behavior in a dyadic diary dataset to better specify their effects on relationship functioning at the daily…
Validity of a Revised Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) Trait Profile and Its Relationship with Social Interaction Anxiety and Coping
There is evidence suggesting that the conceptualization and operationalization of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is not satisfactory (Watters et al., 2019 Watters, C. A., Bagby, R. M., & Sellbom, M. (2019). Meta-analysis to derive an empirically based set of personality facet criteria for the alternative DSM-5 model for personality disorders. Personality Disorders, 10(2), 97–104. https://doi.org/10.1037/per0000307[Crossref], [Pu…
Phubbing in romantic relationships and retaliation
The term “phubbing” is a portmanteau of “phone” and “snubbing”, representing interruptions in face-to-face interactions due to smartphones acting as a distractor. Phubbing has previously been associated with several negative relational and personal outcomes (i.e., reduced relationship satisfaction, low mood, and increased interpersonal conflict). The present study explored the consequences of partner phubbing on phubbee's (i.e., the recipient's) …
Coping with global uncertainty
Following the global outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020, individuals report psychological distress associated with the "new normal"-social distancing, financial hardships, and increased responsibilities while working from home. Given the interpersonal nature of stress and coping responses between romantic partners, based on the systemic transactional model this study posits that perceived partner dyadic coping may be an important moderator betwee…
Pinpointing the role of the self in procedural fairness
What is the role of the self in explaining the links between procedural fairness and organizational experience? In three experiments, we examined four self-related mechanisms: respect, certainty, self-esteem, and competence. We manipulated procedural fairness, introduced unfavorable personal or organizational outcomes, measured the putative mediators, and assessed organizational allure (attitude, identification, commitment). Across the three expe…

Procedural Fairness Responses in the Context of Self-Uncertainty
This Handbook explores the cognitive, motivational, interpersonal, clinical, and applied aspects of personal uncertainty. It showcases both the diversity and the unity that defines contemporary perspectives on uncertainty in self within social and personality psychology. The contributions to the volume are all written by distinguished scholars in personality, social psychology, and clinical psychology united by their common focus on the causes an…
The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding Short Form (Bidr-16)
Self-report studies often call for assessment of socially desirable responding. Many researchers use the Marlowe-Crowne Scale for its brief versions; however, this scale is outdated, and contemporary models of social desirability emphasize its multi-dimensional nature. The 40-item Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) incorporates Self-Deceptive Enhancement (honest but overly positive responding) and Impression Management (bias toward…
Nostalgic recollections of high and low narcissists
The past makes the present meaningful
The present research tested the proposition that nostalgia serves an existential function by bolstering a sense of meaning in life. Study 1 found that nostalgia was positively associated with a sense of meaning in life. Study 2 experimentally demonstrated that nostalgia increases a sense of meaning in life. In both studies, the link between nostalgia and increased meaning in life was mediated by feelings of social connectedness. Study 3 evidenced…
Social Identity as Social Glue
In 3 experiments, the authors investigated the role of social identity in fostering group loyalty, defined as staying when members can obtain better outcomes by leaving their group. In Experiment 1, high (vs. low) identifiers expressed a stronger desire to stay in the group in the presence of an attractive (vs. unattractive) exit option. Experiments 2 and 3 replicated this basic finding and tested several explanations. The results suggest that hi…
