Guilt and Depressive Symptoms
Background: Perinatal loss is a painful and often invisible experience that deeply challenges mental and emotional health, with lasting impact on those who endure it. Method: This study assessed guilt, depressive symptoms, and self-compassion in portuguese women after perinatal loss, considering timing of the loss. The mediating effect of self-compassion on guilt and depressive symptoms was also examined, as well as the relationships between vari…
Sexism in University Teaching
this research’s objective was to investigate whether the evaluation of the professional performance of university professors (variable operationalized as perceived fairness of the grade received) is influenced by the independent variables: (a) participant’s gender, (b) professor’s gender, (c) type of major that they teach, and (d) and the grade given to the students by professors. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 (N = 384), with a predictive-c…
The Intergroup Time Bias and Its Implications for Medical Healthcare
The Intergroup Time Bias (ITB) is an unobtrusive yet impactful form of discrimination, characterized by the unequal allocation of time, favoring White individuals compared to Black individuals. This biased time allocation has significant implications for racial inequities in critical social domains, including healthcare. Across three studies, we demonstrate the ITB as a pervasive factor contributing to racial healthcare disparities. Study 1 ( N =…
Construção e Validação da Escala sobre a Percepção do Abuso Psicológico contra a Parceira (Epapp)
O abuso psicológico entre casais, por ser uma violência sutil, às vezes não é percebido como uma violência propriamente dita. Este trabalho objetivou desenvolver uma escala sobre a percepção do abuso psicológico na parceira. Para tanto, foram realizados dois estudos. O Estudo 1 contou com 184 participantes, em sua maioria do sexo feminino (56,9%) e com média de idade de 25,3 anos (DP=6,70; amplitude de 18 a 62 anos), e verificou a estrutura fator…
Discrimination against suspected Islamic terrorists
This research investigates discrimination against suspected Islamic terrorists based on tolerance for the use of torture. This research is justified by the need to identify how intergroup and ideological factors combine to express discrimination. Two experimental studies were conducted with a between‐subjects design. Study 1 ( N = 282) analysed the terrorist threat against the ingroup and the nationality of torturers with respect to support for t…
Moral Expansiveness Around the World
What are the things that we think matter morally, and how do societal factors influence this? To date, research has explored several individual-level and historical factors that influence the size of our ‘moral circles.' There has, however, been less attention focused on which societal factors play a role. We present the first multi-national exploration of moral expansiveness—that is, the size of people’s moral circles across countries. We found …
Multinational data show that conspiracy beliefs are associated with the perception (and reality) of poor national economic performance
While a great deal is known about the individual difference factors associated with conspiracy beliefs, much less is known about the country‐level factors that shape people's willingness to believe conspiracy theories. In the current article we discuss the possibility that willingness to believe conspiracy theories might be shaped by the perception (and reality) of poor economic performance at the national level. To test this notion, we surveyed …
“But she was drunk”
Various studies have been demonstrating the importance of patriarchal values in the structuring of society, especially with regard to sexual violence against women, pointing out that women themselves are still blamed for the violence that they suffer. The work presented here falls within this context and analyzes how the social representations of university students about women victims of sexual violence are structured (Study 1; N = 288) and how …
Conflito com a lei e sexismo
El objetivo de este estudio es investigar cómo adolescentes, privadas de libertad, perciben la situación de conflicto con la ley y el sexismo. Participaron cuatro adolescentes que cumplían medida socioeducativa de privación de libertad en Sergipe (Brasil). Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas, interpretadas mediante análisis de contenido temático. Surgieron dos categorías: "diferencias de género en la infracción: la transgresión como carac…
Validation of the revised Belief in a Just World Scale based on Popular Sayings
The development of measures that assess individual differences in the Belief in a Just World plays an important role in advancing research in this area. The intent of this article was to validate a new version of the Belief in a Just World Scale based on Popular Sayings (BJWPS), proposing that this measure may be an alternative to the original scale. For this, two studies were developed: Study 1 (N=160) aimed to presenting psychometric evidence f…
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 …

Inquéritos policiais
Neste trabalho, de cunho descritivo-exploratório, analisamos inquéritos policiais abertos na Delegacia Especializada de Atendimento à Mulher (DEAM) de um município do Nordeste Brasileiro buscando investigar as configurações que a violência contra a mulher pode assumir. Analisamos 100 inquéritos dos anos de 2015, 2016 e 2017 (N=300). Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise textual realizada com auxílio do Software IRAMUTEQ. Em síntese, os re…
Materialist and post-materialist concerns and the wish for a strong leader in 27 countries
There is evidence that democracies are under threat around the world while the quest for strong leaders is increasing. Although the causes of these developments are complex and multifaceted, here we focus on one factor: the extent to which citizens express materialist and post-materialist concerns. We explore whether objective higher levels of democracy are differentially associated with materialist and post-materialist concerns and, in turn, whe…
Influence of right-wing authoritarianism and the values proposed by Schwartz on the perception of psychological abuse as gender violence
Psychological abuse in relationships is an extremely important social problem and has serious consequences for the victims. The vast majority of women who have suffered from physical violence have also been victims of psychological violence. There is a line of research that seeks to analyse the role played by certain ideologies in the way the different forms of violence against women are perceived. This study analyses the relationship between rig…
Regaining In-Group Continuity in Times of Anxiety About the Group's Future
Collective nostalgia for the good old days of the country thrives across the world. However, little is known about the social psychological dynamics of this collective emotion across cultures. We predicted that collective nostalgia is triggered by collective angst as it helps people to restore a sense of in-group continuity via stronger in-group belonging and out-group rejection (in the form of opposition to immigrants). Based on a sample (N = 5,…
Microsociología del estigma
Pese a su presencia temprana en las sociedades humanas, el estudio del estigma desde las ciencias sociales se inicia a mediados del siglo XX, constituyendo la definición de Erving Goffman del estigma como un atributo profundamente desacreditador dentro de una interacción social particular, una de las primeras aproximaciones al estudio sistemático y formal de este concepto. A diferencia de muchos autores contemporaneos, Goffman identifica oportuna…
Cultural Values Moderate the Impact of Relative Deprivation
Relative deprivation (RD) is the judgment that one or one's ingroup is worse off compared with some relevant standard coupled with feelings of dissatisfaction, anger, and resentment. RD predicts a wide range of outcomes, but it is unclear whether this relationship is moderated by national cultural differences. Therefore, in the first study, we used national assessments of individual-collectivism and power distance to code 303 effect sizes from 31…
Evidence of factorial validity and accuracy of attitudes in mental health scale
This study gathered evidence of factorial validity and internal consistency of the Attitudes in Mental Health Scale. Two studies were performed. A total of 404 college students, including women (69.6%) with a mean age of 24 years (Standard Deviation = 5.67), participated in Study 1. A total of 396 college students, including females (69.9%) with a mean age of 23 years (Standard Deviation = 5.41), participated in Study 2. In the first study, an ex…
Being oneself through time
Self-continuity – the sense that one’s past, present, and future are meaningfully connected – is considered a defining feature of personal identity. However, bases of self-continuity may depend on cultural beliefs about personhood. In multilevel analyses of data from 7287 adults from 55 cultural groups in 33 nations, we tested a new tripartite theoretical model of bases of self-continuity. As expected, perceptions of stability, sense of narrative…
Racial discrimination and belief in a just world
Beyond the ‘east–west’ dichotomy
Markus and Kitayama's (1991) theory of independent and interdependent self-construals had a major influence on social, personality, and developmental psychology by highlighting the role of culture in psychological processes. However, research has relied excessively on contrasts between North American and East Asian samples, and commonly used self-report measures of independence and interdependence frequently fail to show predicted cultural differ…
The legitimizing role of accent on discrimination against immigrants
This article analyses the influence of accent on discrimination against immigrants by examining the hypothesis that accent leads to discrimination only in more prejudiced individuals, merely because people speaking with a native accent are perceived to be better qualified than those whose accent is non‐standard. In Study 1 ( N = 71), we found that only prejudiced individuals use accent to discriminate against immigrants. In Study 2 ( N = 124), we…
Bem-Estar Subjetivo e Burnout em Cadetes Militares
Este trabalho tem por objetivo testar a hipótese de que a autoeficácia atua como mediador entre o bem-estar subjetivo e o burnout. Participaram 228 cadetes, com idade média de 24 anos (DP = 0,85), sendo 148 policiais e 80 bombeiros. As análises de regressão demonstram que as variáveis do bem-estar subjetivo, principalmente a vitalidade subjetiva e os afetos negativos, predizem significativamente o burnout e suas subdimensões. As análises de media…
Self-efficacy as a mediator of the relationship between subjective well-being and general health of military cadets

Culture and the distinctiveness motive
The motive to attain a distinctive identity is sometimes thought to be stronger in, or even specific to, those socialized into individualistic cultures. Using data from 4,751 participants in 21 cultural groups (18 nations and 3 regions), we tested this prediction against our alternative view that culture would moderate the ways in which people achieve feelings of distinctiveness, rather than influence the strength of their motivation to do so. We…

Contextualism as an Important Facet of Individualism-Collectivism
Beliefs about personhood are understood to be a defining feature of individualism-collectivism (I-C), but they have been insufficiently explored, given the emphasis of research on values and self-construals. We propose the construct of contextualism, referring to beliefs about the importance of context in understanding people, as a facet of cultural collectivism. A brief measure was developed and refined across 19 nations (Study 1: N = 5,241), sh…
