The current research examines the relationship between conservative ideologies, personal belief in a just world (PBJW) and internalized misogyny. Two studies in Greece assessed whether right-wing authoritarianism (RWA; Study 1) and conservative values (Study 2) predict the three subdimensions of the Internalized Misogyny Scale (IMS) — devaluing women, distrusting women and valuing men — and whether PBJW moderates these associations. Study 1 ( N =…

Suicide knowledge test: Development and application of psychometric networks
Suicide prevention relies on accurate knowledge. This study aimed to develop the Suicide Knowledge Test (SKT) and evaluate its psychometric properties. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 303 Peruvian adults. The internal structure of the SKT was examined using network analysis, and its relationship with the Stigma Scale for Receiving Psychological Help for Suicidal Behavior was assessed. The SKT demonstrated excellent reliability and a st…
Don't Stop Belonging: Associations Between National Narcissism, Self‐Esteem and Optimism in Social Belonging
This study examines the relationship between national narcissism, a defensive form of collective pride contingent on external validation and social belonging. Drawing on self-determination theory and social identity theory, we investigate the mediating role of self-esteem in this relationship, potentially transforming belonging from a defensive, compensatory strategy into a genuine desire for connection. We also explore whether optimism and sex m…
The interaction between individual traits and societal factors in predicting abortion stigma
Abortion stigma is a morally and politically divisive issue, often framed through reductive binaries that equate support for abortion with empathy and opposition with moral deficiency. This study explores how prosocial personality traits (i.e., the Light Triad), religiosity, and political ideology interact in shaping stigmatizing attitudes toward abortion. A sample of 304 participants engaged in a survey from October to November 2024, completed m…
When sex goes to school: Parents’ conservative opposition to sexuality education
Understanding the social‐psychological mechanisms underlying parental attitudes toward school‐based sexuality education is increasingly important in polarized societies. Guided by the Dual Process Motivational (DPM) model, the current research examined how right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), and religiosity relate to opposition to school‐based sexuality education among Greek parents. Two studies were conducted w…

An online cross-sectional study was administered between September 2 and December 30, 2021. The sample comprised two hundred twenty-one respondents (Mage =38.22, SD = 2.75).

Social-Psychological Dynamics of Greek Women’s Attitudes to Abortion: Internalized Misogyny and Personal Belief in a Just World Moderate Religious Opposition to Abortion
Introduction The current study examined attitudes toward abortion among Greek women between March 2 and June 30, 2021, to give a more nuanced perspective of (a) the predictive value of conservatism (in political or religious terms) and (b) whether system-justifying factors (conceptualized as one’s sense of personal belief in a just world) and ingroup discrimination (conceptualized as internalized misogyny) influence how strongly political conserv…
Interplay of Personal Values and Politics in a Greek Context: Religiosity as a Moderator Between Reluctance Toward Casual Sexual Relationships and Ideological Conservatism
A model proposing that religiosity moderates the relationship between unwillingness to engage in uncommitted sexual relations (conceptualized as sociosexuality and attitudes toward infidelity) and conservative ideology (conceptualized as conservative values and political conservatism) was tested in two studies conducted in Greece. By employing both correlation analyses and moderation models, the current research provided evidence for the moderati…

In light of the current discussion concerning poly families’ rights, this study examined the motivational underpinnings of opposition to poly families.

Sexual prejudice as an institutional barrier to the social justice agenda in early childhood settings

The study included 122 early childhood educators working in the northern part of Greece. The School Prof…
Relations Between Authoritarianism, Just World Beliefs, and the Dark Triad Life Philosophy
This study examines whether latent biases about the world as a dangerous place lead to antisocial tendencies, suggesting that dark personality traits are not necessarily evil but condition-dependent solutions to analogous worldview perceptions. The application of this model indicates that the extent to which an individual exhibits dark personality traits is determined, in part, by their level of authoritarian ideology (i.e., high in RWA) and the …

Identifying Context-Related Socio-Cultural Predictors of Negative Attitudes Toward Polyamory

Two hundred and fifty parti…

Personality traits as predictors of sexual attitudes in a sample of Greek University students
Previous studies have shown the relation of dogmatism to political, religious and racial attitudes, but few have explored if this finding can be extended generally to sexual attitudes. This study explored if the findings can be extended to sexual attitudes by examining if religious fundamentalism, political conservatism, years of education, age and geographic immobility could predict (1) sexual attitudes and (2) early sexual experience. The sampl…
