The Ego’s Bodyguard
When faced with self-threat, people often engage in self-protective reactions. Yet not everyone does. The extent to which self-protection occurs, is thought to depend on people’s personality. We put this claim to test by considering multiple personality traits from different content domains. In an experiment, participants ( N = 1744) performed a bogus performance test and received negative versus positive feedback. As an indicator of self-protect…
The price of fame? Mortality risk among famous singers
BACKGROUND: Is being famous a risk factor for premature death? Previous studies indicate that famous musicians have a higher mortality risk compared with the general population. However, these studies did not disentangle whether fame contributes to this increased risk, or whether it can be explained entirely by the demands of the music profession. The present study addresses this gap by isolating the effect of fame within the profession. METHODS:…
How aware are people of their current affect? A physiology-based investigation of affective awareness
The assumption that people differ in affective awareness (i.e., the extent to which a person's subjective affective experience matches their affective bodily state) is central to emotional competence. To test this assumption empirically, we used a physiology-based approach to investigate individual differences in affective awareness. Participants ( N = 255) viewed 76 pictures with affective content and rated their experienced affect. Facial muscl…
How Are Provided and Received Social Support Related to Relationship Satisfaction and Self-Esteem? A Comprehensive Test of Competing Hypotheses
The amount of social support partners provide and receive in romantic relationships is important for psychological well-being. But in what sense exactly? Divergent and highly nuanced hypotheses exist in the literature. We explicitly spelled out these hypotheses, specified a statistical model for each using response surface analyses, and simultaneously tested which model had the most empirical support. We analyzed data from more than 16,000 partic…
Effects of Multivariate Non-Normality and Missing Data on the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation
The root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) with various corrections for non-normality is a common fit index in structural equation modeling (SEM). The present study analyzed the performance of the uncorrected, the “sample corrected”, and the “population corrected” RMSEA in misspecified models for both complete and incomplete data sets under multivariate normality and multivariate non-normality. Additionally, the effect of the multivariat…
