Gendered Self-Views Across 62 Countries
Social role theory posits that binary gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in less egalitarian countries, reflecting these countries’ more pronounced sex-based power divisions. Conversely, evolutionary and self-construal theorists suggest that gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in more egalitarian countries, reflecting the greater autonomy support and flexible self-construction processes present in these countrie…

Psychometric Properties and Correlates of Precarious Manhood Beliefs in 62 Nations
Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of gender equality and human development. Using data …
Relationship satisfaction in cohabiting university students
The increase in cohabitation among university student population raises questions about how satisfied students are within the relationships. However, little information is documented about the contributing factors to relationship satisfaction in cohabiting university student population. In order to fill this gap, we examine the role of duration of cohabitation, loneliness dimensions (family, social and romantic) on relationship satisfaction among…
Emotional intelligence dimensions in facets of aggressive behaviour among school adolescents
This study investigated whether emotional intelligence (EI) dimensions influenced aggression self-perceptions in school adolescents. South African adolescents (N = 440; 49% males; mean age = 16.77 years, SD = 1.42 years) completed measures of EI (perception of emotion, managing own emotion, managing others’ emotions, and utilisation of emotion) and of aggression (verbal, physical, and emotional). We computed multivariate analysis of variance to p…

Abuse of alcohol is one of the risk-taking behaviours that is prominent among adolescents in secondary schools despite global awareness on misuse and adverse effects of psychoactive substances in human body. The study investigates age, home-based involvement, school-based involvement and home–school communication as predictors of alcohol use among secondary school students. In a school-based cross-sectional approach, a convenience sample of 323 (…
Emotional intelligence and mental health
We investigated emotional intelligence (EI) influences on mental health indicators among first-year university students. Three hundred first-year students (females = 50%; age range = 16 to 40 years, mean age = 20.10, SD = 2.28) participated in the study. The participants completed surveys on EI dimensions (well-being, self-control, emotionality, and sociability) and mental health indicators (somatic symptoms, anxiety, social dysfunction, and depr…

The students took the Westside Test Anxiety Scale (Driscoll, 2004) and the Academic Self-confidence Scale (Jones, 2001). Data were analysed to predict performance impairment and intrusive worry from academic self-confid…

The study separately examined gender and class level differences in sexual compulsivity and determined the contributions of loneliness and internet addiction in explaining sexual compulsivity among secondary school students. A convenience sample of 311 male and female secondary school students with age range of 13–21 years (M = 15.61, SD = 1.63) completed a cross sectional survey that comprised demographic information and measures of loneliness, …

Psychosocial factors predicting risky sexual behaviour among long distance truck drivers in Lagos, Nigeria
Long distance truck drivers (LDTDs) have been identified as one of the groups at higher risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Understanding how certain social and psychological variables that have a strong theoretical basis contribute to sexual risk behaviour will guide in the implementation process of HIV risk-reduction intervention in the trucking population. In line with the conceptualisation of Information, Motivation and Beh…
Modelling self-assessed vulnerability to HIV and its associated factors in a HIV-burdened country
