  • Effects of Psychological Distance on Mental Abstraction: A Registered Report of Four Tests of Construal-Level Theory

    Open AccessSofia Calderon, Erik Mac Giolla et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Methods and Practices…2026

    Construal-level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: Things perceived as less probable (likelihood) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about more abstractly. In this international multilab study, we tested four basic hypotheses derived from core assumptions of CLT and explore pote…

  • A new measure of regulatory focus: Preventing measurement error by promoting best validation practices

    Open AccessPaul T Fuglestad, Sarah Volz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2025Cited by: 1References: 54

    OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND: The goals of this project were to improve our understanding of chronic regulatory focus constructs and to provide researchers with a measure that adequately assesses the constructs, can distinguish individual differences effectively across the range of the constructs, and is appropriate for use in diverse populations. METHOD: Employing best practices in construct validation, we developed the International Personality Ite…

  • Self-administered mindfulness interventions reduce stress in a large, randomized controlled multi-site study

    Open AccessAlessandro Sparacio, Hans I Jzerman et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2024References: 40

    Mindfulness witnessed a substantial popularity surge in the past decade, especially as digitally self-administered interventions became available at relatively low costs. Yet, it is uncertain whether they effectively help reduce stress. In a preregistered (OSF https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/UF4JZ; retrospective registration at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06308744) multi-site study (nsites = 37, nparticipants = 2,239, 70.4% women, Mage = 22.4, s.d.age …

  • Self-monitoring, status, and balance of power in romantic relationships

    Paul T Fuglestad, Dominique LevertARTICLESelf and Identity2021

    Self-monitoring theory proposes that people higher in self-monitoring are motivated by gaining status, whereas those lower in self-monitoring are motivated by establishing equal status bonds. These propositions were tested in an experimental study of romantic relationships. Participants completed the Self-Monitoring Scale and were randomly assigned to imagine themselves in one of six relationships which varied in balance of power and partner stat…

  • Protective and acquisitive self-monitoring differences in attachment anxiety and avoidance

    Paul T Fuglestad, Christopher Leone et al.ARTICLESelf and Identity2019

    The purpose of the investigation was to examine how different self-monitoring orientations would manifest in interpersonal relationship functioning. Protective, but not acquisitive, self-monitoring was expected to be associated with greater attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. Participants completed the Self-Monitoring Scale and the Adult Attachment Questionnaire with respect to romantic partners (Studies 1a, 1b) and the Experiences in Cl…

  • Regulatory Focus, Proximity to Goal Weight, and Weight Loss Maintenance

    Paul T Fuglestad, Alexander J Rothman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Health Behavior2015

    Regulatory focus and proximity to goal weight moderated intervention effectiveness. Maintenance may be enhanced by tailoring treatments to regulatory focus and goal weight (eg, prevention-focused people far from their goals may need extra weight-loss support before focusing on maintenance)

  • Balance of power and influence in relationships: The role of self-monitoring

    Open AccessClifton M Oyamot, Paul T Fuglestad et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2010Cited by: 8References: 38

    The present investigation examines how self-monitoring relates to (i) perceived balance of power and influence in close relationships and (ii) the association between perceived power balances and relationship quality. Two hundred twenty-seven participants (M = 19 years; 164 women, 63 men) completed the 18-item Self-monitoring Scale, measures of perceived balance of power and influence in their romantic relationships, and measures of relationship …
