Therefore, this study examined the associations between EI and TSE in two cultures, Finland and Greece. A comprehensive evaluatio…

The impact of childhood trauma on borderline personality organization in a community sample of Greek emerging adults
There is limited research on the role of childhood trauma in personality pathology according to Kernberg's psychodynamic model of internalized object relations.

Therefore, the main aim of this retrospective study was to examine the impact of childhood trauma on borderline pe…
(In)Alienable Worth? Cultural Logics of Dignity, Honor, and Face and their Links to Prosociality Across the World
Cultural logic is a set of cultural scripts and patterns organized around a central theme. The cultural logics of dignity, honor, and face describe different ways of evaluating a person’s worth and maintaining cooperation. These cultural logics vary in prevalence across cultures. In this study, we collaboratively develop and validate a measure capturing these cultural logics, which will allow us to map world cultures based on the prevalence of th…
Loneliness and solitude in gifted writers: The legacies of childhood
In this study, we attempt to provide insight into the complex interplay between loneliness/solitude and the writing gift from the early years of life. Theories and research on giftedness, loneliness/solitude, and on the links between them suggest that creative literary production and loneliness/solitude are associated. To further illustrate these associations, we briefly discuss loneliness and solitude in the childhood, adult life and work of fou…

They completed measures on social withdrawal, solitude, authenticity, meaning in life, existe…
