Cross-validating the Couple Resilience Inventory with individuals in LGBTQ relationships in Singapore: Insights from a mixed-methods approach
The Couple Resilience Inventory (CRI) was first developed by relationship researchers to assess the strategies that intimate couples use to cope with stressful life events. To date, the inventory has not been cross-validated in non-Western societies. A mixed-methods approach was used to examine the relevance, reliability, and validity of the CRI with individuals in LGBTQ relationships purposively sampled from Singapore’s LGBTQ community. In the q…
From thrill seekers to social creatures: Dimensions of curiosity differentially predict video game preferences and behaviours
Research has shown that curiosity leads to improved performance in formal activities (e.g. school and work). However, there is an underappreciation of the motivating role that curiosity plays in more recreational activities, such as video gaming. Moreover, curiosity has historically been conceptualised in various ways, presenting a challenge when choosing a measure of curiosity. Using an updated curiosity framework (Five-Dimensional Curiosity Sca…
Anxious attachment to God and scrupulosity mediate the negative effects of uncertainty on well-being among believers
Past research has shown that scrupulosity inconsistently mediates the otherwise positive relationship between religiosity and well-being, while uncertainty and God-related attachment anxiety have also been shown to influence these processes. The present study sought to experimentally examine the effects of uncertainty on well-being, with anxious attachment to God and scrupulosity functioning as mediators of this process. Participants (N = 301) wh…
From pixels to isolation: Exploring the relationship between technological addiction, depression, hikikomori risk factors, and hikikomori tendencies among young adults
The present study examined the relationships between technological addiction, depression, and Hikikomori tendencies, aiming to establish a directional model that explores their connections with Hikikomori risk factors. In two studies (Study 1: cross-sectional, N = 182; Study 2: quasi-experimental, N = 141), we found that technological addiction, depression, and Hikikomori risk factors were positively correlated with Hikikomori tendencies among yo…
Social Media Influence on Emerging Adults’ Prosocial Behavior: A Systematic Review
Early Parenting Interactions and First-Time Mothers’ Postnatal Depression and Parental Competence
Objectives: Schema Therapy, an approach that integrates cognitive-behavioural and attachment principles, helps us understand the impact of early interactions with caregivers on adult mental health. These early interactions can be assessed through Schema Therapy-informed tools; however, these tools have yet to be used with a postnatal population, which represents a period of vulnerability for new mothers. Therefore, the present study aimed to eval…
Effects of Mortality Salience and Religion on Aggression
The current study aimed to examine the effects of mortality salience (MS) and religion on aggression. Participants were 120 students (58.3% females; 73.3% with religion) from a private university in Singapore. They were randomly assigned to either the MS condition or the control condition, asked to remember a time when they were deeply hurt or offended by a person, and provided an opportunity for revenge by sticking pins into a voodoo doll that r…
Self-transcendence through self-inhibition: God primes reduce self-accessibility
This article reports 7 studies showing that God primes inhibit self-concept accessibility. Study 1A provided the first supportive evidence using undergraduate samples. Study 1B replicated the findings using working adult participants. Study 2A to 2C showed that the inhibitory effect of the God concept on implicit self-concepts was not due to concepts related to love, power, hope, religion, devil, and father. Study 3 found the same inhibitory effe…
The relationship between Hikikomori risk factors and social withdrawal tendencies among emerging adults—An exploratory study of Hikikomori in Singapore
The current research findings serve as a basis for future Hikikomori research in Singapore
The Effect of Supernatural Priming on Cheating Behaviour
Research has shown that the mental activation of concepts related to supernatural agents (e.g., God, ghost) is capable of altering one's moral behaviours. Based on the supernatural monitoring hypothesis, two experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of priming on cheating behaviour using undergraduate participants from Singapore. The results of the first experiment showed that participants who were primed with the concepts of God and g…
On the importance of trust in interpersonal attraction from attitude similarity
Trust has been identified as a key factor in relationship development and appreciation of group members. However, trust has not been previously considered as a reason for attitude similarity to result in attraction. Thus, in the current research, the authors investigated trust as a key component of attraction based on attitude similarity. Trust was shown to significantly mediate attitude similarity effects on attraction when measured alone (Exper…
