Moral context, coping strategies, and mental health outcomes among combat veterans
OBJECTIVE: Although research has been conducted on the influence of coping strategies on mental health, research has not investigated the relationships among moral context, the adoption of those strategies, and mental health outcomes. DESIGN: Studies were designed to measure the effects of moral context (specifically, moral injury and ethical leadership) on the adoption of adaptive or maladaptive coping strategies and their subsequent mental heal…

The role of target‐specific shared reality in interpersonal interactions and protective health behaviours
Shared reality—the experience of sharing common inner states (e.g. feelings, beliefs) with other people about a given topic or target—is a ubiquitous human experience.

Inducing motivational harmony to increase attitudes and intentions to register as an organ donor and engage in general prosocial behavior
In three preregistered studies, we investigated whether positive and negative organ donation attitudes, intentions, as well as general prosocial behavioral intentions, could be influenced by inducing motivational harmony—the sense that things are going well in life.

In particular, the chapter includes a discussion of what defines each system, how regulatory…
