The Robustness of Mental Accounting Across 21 Countries
First introduced four decades ago, the influential concept of mental accounting—how people mentally organize, evaluate, and track financial activities—posits that consumers often defy traditional economic rationality, treating money as non-fungible across discrete mental accounts. In this research, we present the first large-scale test of the replicability and generalizability of mental accounting effects, using a sample of 5,589 participants fro…
Development trajectories of undergraduates’ interdisciplinary competence over time
Considering the importance of cultivating interdisciplinary competence, higher education institutions have developed programs, courses and activities to engage students in interdisciplinary learning. However, what remains underexplored is whether students’ interdisciplinary competence can develop in these settings and which activity designs may be more effective. To address this gap, this study employed a quasi-experiment design involving 130 und…
Openness to Experience Predicts Engagement in Role-Play
Background Role-play, or the transient embodiment of a different role from one’s own, is a uniquely human activity that permeates many aspects of life. However, what psychosocial factors is one’s involvement in role-play associated with? Current role-play research tends to focus on limited variables and is partially marred by negative perception towards role-play in the context of online gaming. Nonetheless, it is undeniable that role-play has po…
Culture, sex and social context influence brain-to-brain synchrony
Main findings indicate lowered brain-to-brain synchrony during role-playing activities that is moderated by the dyad's sex make-up and culture, implying differential processing of social interactions that is also influenced by individuals' background factors. Findings align with current literature that role-playing is a cognitively demanding activity requiring greater levels of self-regulation and suppression of self-related cognition as opposed …
Children with Developmental Disabilities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Little is known about parenting in the context of developmental disabilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), penalized by both lack of data and a research bias toward western societies. In this study, we apply data mining methods on a large (N = 25,048) dataset from UNICEF to highlight patterns of association between developmental disabilities of children and parental involvement. We focus on the co-presence of multiple disabilities a…
