Motivational underpinnings of support for radical political leaders
The present research examined the idea that followers are more strongly motivated by radical as opposed to moderate political leaders.

We expected that voters would be more willing to support political actors when they perceived them as radical as opposed to moderate, because the goals of thos…
The STEM Graduate: Immediately after Graduation, Men and Women Already Differ in Job Outcomes, Attributions for Success, and Desired Job Characteristics
We examined the job outcomes of men and women who recently graduated from the same STEM majors in Poland ( N = 8,082). The results demonstrated that women experienced more difficulties in finding a job, received fewer job offers, were less likely to find a job consistent with their education, and earned less money than men. Additionally, we examined the attributions that men and women made for their professional success and the characteristics th…
Making Americans Feel Great Again? Personal Significance Predicts Political Intentions of Losers and Winners of the 2016 U.S. Election

We found that the less significant supporte…

At the same time, the role of the positive experiences that activists gain from their political engagement was largely neglected. Drawing on quest for significance theory, we proposed that when people…
