Construal-level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: Things perceived as less probable (likelihood) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about more abstractly. In this international multilab study, we tested four basic hypotheses derived from core assumptions of CLT and explore pote…
Career unsustainability among PhD students. The link between depression, impostor phenomenon, supervisor support and career insecurity
There is a pressing concern about the mental health conditions of PhD students and how negative mental health can influence the unfolding of an (un)sustainable career. This study employed the Sustainable Careers Framework and the Conservation of Resources theory to investigate the mechanism of unsustainability among PhD students. We hypothesised that depression might affect career insecurity directly and indirectly via impostor phenomenon, and th…
Being ostracized: The impact of emotional and cognitive responses on the antisocial behavior toward the sources of ostracism
The present study focuses on the comprehensive role of the affective and cognitive consequences of ostracism and, in turn, on antisocial behavioral response toward the sources of ostracism.

Green-go: A green innovation competitiveness index
This study proposes a Green Innovation Competitiveness Index based on green patents, presented in both general and adjusted-symmetric versions. The suggested index is suitable for computing the green innovation competitive advantage or disadvantage of countries and, hence, analysing the green specialisation and geographical patterns of green innovations around the world. The symmetric innovation competitiveness index has been combined with intern…
What Your Face Says: How Signals of Communion and Agency Inform First Impressions and Behavioural Intentions
Two studies investigated how facial signals of communion and agency intersect to shape first impressions. Study 1 primarily investigated how enhancing or reducing facial signals of communion or agency affected impressions of these dimensions. Results demonstrated that the manipulation of facial signals of communion affected impressions of both communion and agency, whereas the manipulation of facial signals of agency affected only impressions of …

Individual, Familial, and School Risk Factors Affecting Teen Dating Violence in Early Adolescents: A Longitudinal Path Analysis Model
Background: Teen dating violence (TDV) is a growing issue among adolescents, leading to several negative behavioral and psychological consequences. Most studies have been carried out in North America, whereas few have been conducted in Europe and Italy. Despite the existence of some studies underlying risk factors for TDV, to the best of our knowledge, none of them have tested a comprehensive model that includes several risk factors (and their in…

Yet, the scientific literature has widely debated on how media can influence people's health-related evaluations, emotions, and behaviors. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to investigate…
