ejop: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called ejop.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Self; Participants; Health; Life; Work; People; Personality; Model; Children; Group; Scale; Relationship; Students; Humor; Europe; Memory; Women; Satisfaction; Development; Family; Social; Factor; Items; Use; Effect; Depression; School; Task; Time; Identity; Performance; Learning; Gender; Anxiety; Stress; Adolescents; Analysis; Studies; Behavior; Emotions; Education; Theory; Experience; Effects; Patients; Esteem; Differences; Information; Behaviour; Individuals; Psychological; Meaning; Symptoms; Body; Therapy; Attitudes; Values; Conflict; Culture; Creativity; World; Data; Condition; Process; Traits; Activity; Knowledge; Level; Aggression; Emotion; Scores; Relationships; Disorder; Book; Conference; Representations; Event; Human; Sex; Sample; Regulation; Perception; Identification; Assessment; Measurement; Orientation; Belief; Structure; Leadership; Years; Science; Philosophy; Valence; Ejop; Cognition; Client; Issues; Brain; Greek; Neuroticism; Psychoanalysis; Schizophrenia; Teacher; Society; Interest; Trauma; Trust; Forgiveness; Beatrice; Author; Association; Sciences; Altruism; Patient; Marinoff; Case; Evil; Iceepsy; Professor; Solidarity; Moscow; Proposals; Istanbul; Hong; Specialization; Oslo; Glass; Hecker; Judge; Interviews; Konstadina

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Understanding the Association Between Humor and Emotional Distress: The Role of Light and Dark Humor in Predicting Depression, Anxiety, and Stress by Dionigi, Alberto; Duradoni, Mirko; Vagnoli, Laura (2023) - Moreover, previous studies showed how personality traits represent the best predictors of psychological well-being while humor styles added only a small portion of explained variance (Jovanovic, 2011). Again, Páez et al. (2013) investigated the incremental validity of humor styles in predicting happiness and psychological well-being, showing that, after controlling for personality traits, only two humor styles (self-enhancing and self-defeating) remained significant predictors of the two variables, adding only 2% of explained variance to the model.

• A Darker Shade of Love: Machiavellianism and Positive Assortative Mating Based on Romantic Ideals by Ináncsi, Tamás; Láng, András; Bereczkei, Tamás (2016) - Without formulating any particular hypothesis, we also wanted to reveal, if there were any latent dimensions (‘personality types’) underlying romantic partner personality traits and self-reported Machiavellianism. We also used principal component analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation to reveal complex ‘personality types’ of ideal romantic partners that might be associated with Machiavellianism.

• Job demands, job control, social support and self-efficacy beliefs as determinants of burnout among physical education teachers by Brouwers, André; Tomic, Welko; Boluijt, Huibrecht (2011) - Indeed, the opposite is true: teacher burnout is examined among heterogeneous groups of teachers, irrespective of the subject they teach. Social support, workload, and control A number of studies have found that perceived lack of social support from colleagues, i.e. a lack of friendship and assistance, may be an important element in teacher burnout (Brownell & Pajares, 1997; Burke, Greenglass, & Schwarzer, 1996; Burke, Shearer, & Deszca, 1984; Dignam & West, 1988; Punch & Tuettemann, 1990; Ross, Altmaier, & Russell, 1989; Schwab, Jackson, & Schuler, 1984).

• How Internal Political Efficacy Translates Political Knowledge Into Political Participation by Reichert, Frank (2016) - It argues that political knowledge raises internal political efficacy and thereby indirectly increases the chance that a citizen will participate in politics. The results of mediated multiple regression analyses yield evidence that political knowledge indeed translates into internal political efficacy, thus it affects political participation of various kinds indirectly.

• The German Version of the Humor Styles Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties and Overlap With Other Styles of Humor by Ruch, Willibald; Heintz, Sonja (2016) - Do they evaluate humor differently; for example, do men regard aggressive humor styles as less detrimental to others than women do? Although the HSQ is currently the most frequently employed approach to humor styles, Wolfgang Schmidt-Hidding already presented eight comic styles (whereby “comic” broadly referred to humor) in 1963, which he derived from literature analyses.

• Narrative Inquiry: An Interview With Michael Bamberg by Bamberg, Michael; Demuth, Carolin (2016) - Carolin Demuth: So, if narrative identity is something that is constructed in everyday interaction, and you contest the notion that there is something like a core inner self that we can get to, are we then not merely rhetorical per- formers, is there nothing inside of us that is a self or identity? And this is, I think, where discussions could take place that we did not get into today: what are differences between ‘identity’, ‘narrative identity’ and ‘forming a narrative sense of self’?

• Personality, Humor Styles and Happiness: Happy People Have Positive Humor Styles by Ford, Thomas E.; Lappi, Shaun K.; Holden, Christopher J. (2016) - Thus, it appears that engaging in positive humor styles, perhaps especially a self-enhancing humor style, might be an instrumental strategy by which people attain happiness. Based on the premise that personality traits relate to happiness instrumen- tally, through an active pursuit of positive experiences, we hypothesized that the relationship between the four “happy personality traits” and happiness is mediated by positive humor styles.

• Perceptions of Close Relationship Through the Machiavellians´ Dark Glasses: Negativity, Distrust, Self-Protection Against Risk and Dissatisfaction by Ináncsi, Tamás; Pilinszki, Attila; Paál, Tünde; Láng, András (2018) - Self-Protection correlates positively with negative partner and relationship attitudes (IQSNEG, PNSDNEG) and negatively with satisfaction and trust in both sexes. While it only applies to men with high levels of Machiavellianism, it is still a suggestive finding that negative partner attitudes (IQSNEG) are positively correlated to the quality of alternative partners, which means that in parallel with increasing devaluation of the qualities of their partners, Machiavellian men attribute greater significance to alternative partners.

• Twins Assessing Their Own and Parental Intelligence: Examining the Raters’ Agreement and the Effect of Raters’ and Targets’ Gender by Bratko, Denis; Pocrnić, Martina; Butković, Ana (2020) - As far as we know, none of the previous studies of parental intelligence estimates have included two raters from the same family and this is the first study of parents' intelligence estimation where sample consists of twin pairs. Therefore, we expect that behavioural genetic model fitting of parental intelligence estimates would, in addition to always present non-shared environmental influence (E), reflect shared environmental influence (C) which primarily comes from the exposure to the target’s behaviour and from the availability of the relevant cues which are used to estimate parental intelligence.

• The Upsides and Downsides of High Self-Control: Evidence for Effects of Similarity and Situation Dependency by Röseler, Lukas; Ebert, Jacqueline; Schütz, Astrid; Baumeister, Roy (2021) - Thus, there is an assumption that people will act in selfish and reward- or lust-oriented ways (e.g., the selfish­ ness hypothesis of ego depletion; Banker, Ainsworth, Baumeister, Ariely, & Vohs, 2017) when no superordinate entity is present to exert control over them (e.g., Hobbes & Brooke, 1651/2017).

The Role of Psychological Capital, Perceived Learning From an Entrepreneurship Education Program, Emotions and Their Relationships by Chevalier, Séverine; Calmé, Isabelle; Coillot, Hélène; Le Rudulier, Karine; Fouquereau, Evelyne (2022) - Following the same line, it has been suggested that an entrepreneurship education program is first and foremost a way for students to test their aptitude for an entrepreneurial career (Von Graevenitz et al., 2010), and that entrepreneurial education programs should give students a more realistic view both of themselves and of what it takes to be an entrepreneur (Oosterbeek, van Praag, & Ijsselstein, 2010).

• Affective Reactions to Difference and their Impact on Discrimination and Self-Disclosure at Work: A Social Identity Perspective by Kakarika, Maria (2012) - According to this theory, dissimilarity appears to be a situation that causes a specific affective state, since different characteristics shape an individual’s identity and are associated with the need to psychologically belong or feel close to social groups, in order to enhance self-esteem (Tajfel, 1982; Turner, 1982). However, past research has not extensively tied this literature to perceived discrimination and mostly focused on cognitions and prejudices at the workplace (e.g. Dovidio & Gaertner, 2000; Frazer & Wiersma, 2001; Trentham & Larwood, 1998).

For example, conversion disorder patients utilize the high prevalence of organic illnesses and physical injuries which were present prior to their disorder (e.g., Blanchard & Hersen, 1976; Jones, 1980; Merskey & Buhrich, 1975) to strengthen the belief that their symptoms are caused by biological factors (see also Stone & Sharpe, 2006).

• The Conceptualization, Measurement, and Role of Humor as a Character Strength in Positive Psychology by Edwards, Kim R.; Martin, Rod A. (2014) - This notion is supported by a considerable amount of subsequent research indicating that (1) the four humor styles together account for more variance in well-being than did the earlier self-report humor scales and (2) the negative styles (especially self-defeating humor) add to the variance explained by positive humor styles (e.g., Cann & Etzel, 2008; Cann, Stilwell, & Taku, 2010; Kuiper, Grimshaw, Leite, & Kirsh, 2004; Martin, 2007).

• A Cue for Rational Reasoning: Introducing a Reference Point in Cognitive Reflection Tasks by Damnjanović, Kaja; Novković, Vera; Pavlović, Irena; Ilić, Sandra; Pantelić, Slobodan (2019) - We hypothesized that: a) adding the reference point to the CRT tasks would increase the average number of correct answers, while it would decrease the number of heuristic answers, compared to the standard version of the CRT without an added reference point; b) the reaction time would be shorter for standard tasks than for the tasks with a reference point (Alós-Ferrer et al., 2016); c) the standard tasks would be accompanied by a higher estimation on the metacognitive self-assessment scale, while the self-confidence score would be lower on the tasks containing a reference point (Primi et al., 2016; Thompson & Morsanyi, 2012). However, while the ‘pig-salesman’ task with an RP did produce a spike in correct answers, compared to its conventional counterpart, the reference point did not make a difference in the prevalence of heuristic answers.

• Negative Valence Effect in Affective Forecasting: The Unique Impact of the Valence Among Dispositional and Contextual Factors for Certain Life Events by Christophe, Virginie; Hansenne, Michel (2021) - For example, people could overestimate how happy they will be after positive events such as getting promoted and how sad they will feel after negative events, such as the loss of a match/ election by a favorite sports team or political candidate. Figure 1 reveals that in contrast to the classical pattern of intensity bias showing an underestimation of the predicted level of emotional satisfaction for negative events and an overestimation for positive events, the direction of the prediction error tends to be an underestimation of the predicted level of emotional satisfaction in both positive and negative conditions.

• The Impact of Reminiscence on Autobiographical Memory, Cognition and Psychological Well-Being in Healthy Older Adults by Allen, Andrew P.; Doyle, Caoilainn; Roche, Richard A. P. (2020) - Autobiographical memory interacts closely with our sense of self (e.g. Conway & Pleydell-Pearce, 2000; Prebble, Addis, & Tippett, 2013), and reminiscence about autobiographical memory may serve a number of functions in healthy ageing, such as building intimacy with others or communicating advice (Cappeliez, O’Rourke, & Chaudhury, 2005). One study that did examine reminiscence and autobiographical memory in healthy older adults tested the effects of both oral reminiscence and autobiographical writing (de Medeiros, Mosby, Hanley, Pedraza, & Brandt, 2011); their results suggested a lack of change in autobiographical memory performance.

• Availability and use of weapons in the neighbourhood as risk factors for criminal offending among prison inmates in Nigeria by Salaam, Abeeb Olufemi (2010) - Psychologists have also argued that the sight of weapons could stimulate aggression through classical conditioning processes resulting from the learned associations involv ing aggressive acts and weapon use (for a review, see Turner, Simons, Berkowitz, & Frodi, 1977). Adopting the quantitative analysis, the computed outcomes predict the effects of weapon availability as potential risk factors to criminal offending among this group.

• Women’s subjective experiences of food and eating on the island of the ‘Mediterranean diet’ by Triliva, Sofia (2010) - This subgroup described in very vivid and distinct voices the tensions in managing time, making choices for their families and coping with the diverse food ‗pressures‘ and ‗tensions‘, echoing the literature on the time pressures, sacrifices and food choice and preparation challenges (Blake et al., 2009; Devine et al., 2006; Devine, et al., 1999). It is interesting to underline that these women did not focus explicitly and at length on the pressures to follow traditional roles, food choices, habits, social markers and ceremonies, yet did express embodied tension, stress, and emotional turmoil. Keywords: age; behavior; bisogni; body; devine; diet; eating; experiences; food; group; journal; nutrition; participants; women
• CBM-I Training and Its Effect on Interpretations of Intent, Facial Expressions, Attention and Aggressive Behavior by AlMoghrabi, Nouran; Franken, Ingmar H. A.; Mayer, Birgit; van der Schoot , Menno; Huijding, Jorg (2021) - While the negative training would increase hostile attribution bias from pre-to post treatment relative to a neutral training, and increase self-reported aggression; 2) the positive training would lead to heightened attention to the facial expression of the harm-doer (i.e., adaptive cue that would help disambiguate the situation in a pro-social way), while the negative training would lead to heightened attention to the negative outcome of the situation (i.e., maladaptive cue that would help disambiguate the situation in a hostile way), and 3) the positive training would increase pro-social interpretation bias of facial expressions from pre-to post treatment relative to the neutral training, whereas the negative training would increase hostile interpretation bias of facial expressions relative to the neutral training. Thus, further research is needed to explore the effects of interpretation bias training on reducing aggressive behavior in a clinical sample.

• The Prevalence of and Motivation for Drug and Alcohol Use among Black African Minorities in England by Salaam, Abeeb Olufemi (2009) - Although the results suggest a low level of illicit drug use, a significant number of the participants admitted to alcohol use. It should be highlighted that the present study was designed to predict motivation for illicit drug and alcohol use, but this proved difficult because the overwhelming majority of the respondents did not report illicit drug use, hence the study is restricted to predicting motivating factors for alcohol use instead.

• Effects of Task Demands in the Auditory Attentional Blink by Gerritsen, Cory; Slawinski, Elzbieta; Eagle, David (2006) - Furthermore, it has been observed that when no spatial shift is required between T and P viewing in visual blink tasks, stimuli immediately following T in the sequence are often spared from the effects of the blink (for a summary, see Visser, Zuvic, Bischof & diLollo, 1999). This phenomenon, called “lag one sparing” (Potter et al., 1998), has not been observed in auditory tasks. Keywords: aab; attentional; blink; participants; sounds; stimuli; target; task

• Investigating new Ways to Study Adolescent Moral Competence by Podolskiy, Oleg (2005) - Assuming that adequate orientation in moral situations is the basis of morally competent behavior, we can assert that such competence would be realized in a case when the participant is able for objectivation of such situation and features of moral situation, to analyze it, and consequently plan and carry out certain behaviors. On the other hand, George Lind states that moral competence can not be observed or measured by looking at an isolated act (or same acts) of moral behavior, Rather, valuable judgments of a person’s moral dispositions can only be made when we can observe the whole pattern of different reactions to a variety of moral situations (Lind, 2003).

• The Development of the Brief Social Desirability Scale (BSDS) by Haghighat, Rahman (2007) - Though neither Segal nor Farina have looked at the above from a social desirability point of view, their findings support the idea that people tend to resort to social desirability in their responses to sensitive questions. Other items such as “there have been occasions when I felt like smashing things” are unsuitable for use in people with schizophrenia with a history of agitation as an affirmatory response to such questions (taken as evidence of a lack of social desirability) is more likely in people who tend to be habitually stimulated or agitated, and so liable to acting out and outbursts.

• Making up History: False Memories of Fake News Stories by Polage, Danielle C. (2012) - Further, the experiment tested whether false stories that were familiar would result in the creation of a false memory of having heard the story outside of the experiment. Discussion Results from the current study show that exposure to false stories increased the perceived plausibility and truthfulness of those stories.

• Unconscious Plagiarism in Recall: Attribution to the Self, but not for Self-Relevant Reasons by Perfect, Timothy J.; Stark, Louisa-Jayne (2012) - Results In each study, there were three dependent measures: level of correct recall of own ideas, plagiarism of other’s ideas in the recall-own task, and plagiarism of ideas in the generate-new task. Thus, when participants try to recall an original idea they may rely on records of generative processes as a cue to source, and so confuse original ideas with improved ideas.

• Deliberately Retrieved Negative Memories Can Improve Mood Beyond the Intention to Do So by Nourkova, Veronika V.; Gofman, Alena A. (2022) - In other words, after a deliberate experience of negative autobiographical memories, we tested the prediction that participants would enjoy the present moment more than before. Conclusions This experimental study is the first to examine whether negative autobiographical memories serve as a counterpart to positive ones in emotion regulation.

• Automatic Influences of Priming on Prosocial Behavior by Scaffidi Abbate, Costanza; Ruggieri, Stefano; Boca, Stefano (2013) - In addition, unlike most research on priming helping behavior, in which participants were given the explicit goal of engaging in the behavior that was affected by the priming manipulation (Garcia et al., 2002; Greitemeyer, 2009; Nelson & Norton, 2005; Pichon et al., 2007), in the second study we measured a spontaneous behavior triggered by priming. In light of this assumption, it could be interesting to observe whether cognitive load decreased helping behavior.

• The Double Edge Sword of “High Potential” Expectations by Kotlyar, Igor (2013) - These results indicate that, in the positive feedback condition, labeling subjects as high-potential and, thus, as- signing to them high performance expectations increased their expectations of their future performance, but also reduced their feelings of satisfaction with their performance, as compared to non-high potentials. Third, future research should consider strategies for informing individuals of their potential and for communicating higher performance expectations that do not lead to a drop in satisfaction and commitment Europe's Journal of Psychology 2013, Vol. 9(3), 581–596 doi:10.5964/ejop.v9i3.620 The Double Edge Sword of “High Potential” Expectations 592 http://www.psychopen.eu/ following poor performance feedback.

• Confidant Relations in Italy by Isaacs, Jenny; Soglian, Francesca; Hoffman, Edward (2015) - Unlike other areas of study (e.g., childhood friendships, romantic relationships), the area of adult confidant relationships has not benefited from a history of rich descriptive analysis. Gender and the Confidant Relationship Results from a recent study of confidant relations among Brazilians (Hoffman et al., 2012) indicated that women were more likely than men to report having a current confidant, with both sexes being significantly more likely to have a female rather than a male as their primary confidant.

• “Does Community Make Any Sense?” A Semantic Analysis of the Term “Community” Among Albanian Immigrants and Italian Majority Residents by Mannarini, Terri; Rochira, Alessia (2014) - Ultimately, community psy- chologists (Rappaport, 1995) have suggested that sense of community is a community narrative and emphasized the importance of shared collective narratives in building communities, i.e., sense of belonging, feelings of inter- connection and cohesion. Second, in line with a cultural approach to collective processes, we assumed that sense of community is a context-dependent shared narrative (i.e., a social representation) whose particular meanings vary across diverse Europe's Journal of Psychology 2014, Vol. 10(4), 672–693 doi:10.5964/ejop.v10i4.788 Meaning of Community Among Immigrants and Native-Born Italians 676 http://www.psychopen.eu/ groups.

• Physical Aggression and Facial Expression Identification by Taylor, Alisdair James Gordon; Jose, Maria (2014) - Relative to low physically aggressive participants, high physically aggressive participants were more likely to mistake non-angry facial expressions as being angry facial expressions (misattribution errors), supporting the idea of a hostile predisposition. Recent studies have shown aggressive individuals exhibit biases when processing angry facial expressions across different paradigms, (e.g., Bertsch, Böhnke, Kruk, & Naumann, 2009; van Honk, Tuiten, de Haan, van den Hout, & Stam, 2001; Zhang & Liu, 2011).

• A Case-Series Evaluation of a Brief, Psycho-Social Approach Intended for the Prevention of Relapse in Psychosis by Brett, Petrina; Sorensen, John; Priest, Helena (2014) - While it is not possible to assume a direct causal relationship between treatment intervention and results, the stability of the measures at baseline, the immediacy of change following the intervention, and the relatively large magnitude of change observed contribute to the argument that the intervention was responsible for the change. Many psychosocial approaches to relapse prevention have been described and evaluated, including psycho- education about pharmacological treatments (Herz et al., 2000; Weiden & Glazer, 1997); cognitive-behavioural therapy (Garety et al., 2008; Wykes, Steel, Everitt, & Tarrier, 2008); family interventions (Álvarez-Jiménez, Parker, Hetrick, McGorry, & Gleeson, 2011; Keywords: bhs; change; control; follow; hopelessness; intervention; journal; m =; month follow; participants; prevention; psychology; psychosis; relapse; results; satisfaction; schizophrenia; week; week follow

• The influence on perceptions of truthfulness of the emotional expressions shown when talking about failure by David, Shlomo; Hareli, Shlomo; Hess, Ursula (2015) - Specifically, when observers interpret emotion expressions they tend to consider not only the physical changes in the face (such as the corners of the lips being turned up in a smile), but also the knowledge that they have about the person and the situation (Kirouac & Hess, 1999). Main effects of answer type, F(2,258) = 9.08, p < .0001, ηp 2 = .07, and emotion expression, F(2,258) = 8.53, p < .0001, ηp 2 = .06, emerged.

• Disadvantageous Deck Selection in the Iowa Gambling Task: The Effect of Cognitive Load by Hawthorne, Melissa J.; Pierce, Benton H. (2015) - Huizenga et al. found that participants who relied solely on loss frequency favored Decks B and D, whereas participants who considered probabilistic loss as an additional factor tended to develop a preference for Deck D over Deck B as the task pro- gressed. Huizenga et al. (2007) found that participants who focused on loss frequency demonstrated a preference for Decks B and D. However, Cassotti et al. (2011) found that although children and adolescents developed a bias toward selecting Deck B, there was no preference for Deck D.

• Testing the Reliability of Anchoring Susceptibility Scores by Weber, Lucia; Röseler, Lukas (2025) - A probable reason for this pattern of results is that anchoring susceptibility has not been measured reliably in these studies, making it impossible to find significant correlations with other constructs. So far, evaluations have indicated that different ways of computing anchoring susceptibility actually lead to scores with different reliabilities.

• Effects of Individual Differences and Job Characteristics on the Psychological Health of Italian Nurses by Zurlo, Maria Clelia; Vallone, Federica; Smith, Andrew P. (2018) - Nursing research focused on the comparison between Italian and UK healthcare contexts has highlighted that Italian nurses reported significantly higher levels of disorganisation and lack of skill-set of staff than UK nurses (Glazer & Gyurak, 2008). Moreover, considering that the DRIVE model, which has been developed in the UK, has not been previously tested in a sample of Italian nurses, and in order to adequately benefit from its application, the present study also aims at assessing, in a cross-cultural perspective, similarities and differences between Italian and UK nurses, comparing results from the present study with those emerged from the original application of the DRIVE Model in UK nurses (Mark & Smith, 2012b).

• Defining Quality of Life: A Wild-Goose Chase? by Barcaccia, Barbara; Esposito, Giuseppe; Matarese, Maria; Bertolaso, Marta; Elvira, Marta; De Marinis, Maria Grazia (2013) - In order to better understand the difficulties in providing a shared definition of QoL concept, it is useful to record when and how the history of Quality of Life kicked off, and its domino effect on almost every field of human existence. In truth, ethical consequences stem from different QoL definitions: Health professionals often make quality of life judgments when making decisions about the care of patients and their perspective on expected quality of life is the crucial factor in deciding whether treatment for a life-threatening condition will be administered or not (Addington-Hall & Kalra, 2001).

• The Prevalence of Sexual Violence Perpetration in Sexual Minority Men: A Secondary Analysis of Systematic Review Data by Anderson, RaeAnn E.; Kuhn, Sara K.; Vitale, Amanda M.; Ciampaglia, Alyssa M.; Silver, Kristin E. (2022) - Results: To our surprise, we could not analyze sexual perpetration prevalence rates in sexual minority men using the systematic review data due to absence of reported data across all 77 independent samples including over 5,500 male participants. We did find a positive relationship between recency of publication and the inclusion of sexual minority men, r(76) = .24, p = .03, and that most authors/co-authors were women (72%).

• Intention to Remain at Work Until Legal Retirement Age: A Comparative Analysis Among Different Age Subgroups of Employees by Hellemans, Catherine; Closon, Caroline (2013) - From the 70s, the use of this mechanism has become common in Belgium: it has been seen as a way for struggling businesses to reduce their workforce without significant social conflict by offering an elegant way to older workers to leave their company and the labour market. As mentioned in Schalk et al. (2010), companies “have to rely increasingly on the knowledge, skills, and experience of older workers while the available workforce is shrinking considerably” (p. 77).

• Moral Dilemmas and Existential Issues Encountered Both in Psychotherapy and Philosophical Counseling Practices by Popescu, Beatrice A. (2015) - Lydia Amir tries to delimit herself from this view, stating that “most people come to philosophical counseling in order to solve some predicament, usually after also having un- dergone psychological counseling” (Amir, 2004a, p. 2), urging philosophical counseling practitioners to claim “complete independence from psychology” (Amir, 2004a, p. 7).

• Sour Fruits on the Trail: Renewing Phenomenological Practice by De Monticelli, Roberta; Simionescu-Panait, Andrei (2015) - A criticism of pure and practical reason, questioning and rejecting the main tenet of Kantianism, i.e. the gaps between data and apriori, experiences and norms, phenomena and noumena, cognition and duty, resuming the reject of all these dualisms by the very notion of material apriori: such is Husserlian phenomenology in the eye of his founder himself (Husserl, 1956b). Not a single word about the tragic meaning of Husserl picture of philosophers as “Funktionäre der Menschheit”, officials of humanity – as written by a man who had just been deprived of his role of public official, that is of his venia legendi, the power to teach, by his own university, with the approval of his former student, Martin Heidegger.

• Are There Similar or Divergent Transitions to Adulthood in a Mediterranean Context? A Cross-National Comparison of Italy and Spain by Pace, Ugo; Cacioppo, Marco; Lo Cascio, Valentina; Guzzo, Giovanni; Passanisi, Alessia (2016) - Hence, this axis represents the interiorization of secure attachment models in developmental processes and satisfaction for different domains of life, as opposed to interiorization of insecure attachment models in devel- opmental processes and low satisfaction for different domains of life. Conversely, the Spain profile is characterized by categories high in satisfaction for different domains of life, good in individuation processes, and good in interiorization of secure attachment models.

• North/South Differences Among Italian Emerging Adults Regarding Criteria Deemed Important for Adulthood and Life Satisfaction by Piumatti, Giovanni; Garro, Maria; Pipitone, Laura; Di Vita, Angela Maria; Rabaglietti, Emanuela (2016) - In this current scenario, Italian young adults have more time to experiment with different life possibilities and as a result experience an extended period of transition known as emerging adulthood (Arnett & Tanner, 2006). The construct of emerging adulthood is embedded in socio-cultural contexts that delay adult responsibilities, often through extended post-secondary education (Arnett & Galambos, 2003).

• Living Creatively, In and Through Institutions by Zittoun, Tania (2016) - From a sociocultural psychological perspective, which emphasized the semiotic, material and temporal nature of the sociocultural environment (Valsiner, 2014), we could say that institutions are temporarily solidified meanings and patterns of interactions, which are usually crystallized in different forms: materiality (as the walls of a school), semiotic constructions (as written regulation or textbooks) or ideal or communicational constructions, such as Europe's Journal of Psychology 2016, Vol. 12(1), 1–11 doi:10.5964/ejop.v12i1.1133 Living Creatively, In and Through Institutions 2 http://www.psychopen.eu/ social representations.

• The Effect of Mortality Salience and Type of Life on Personality Evaluation by Gordillo, Fernando; Mestas, Lilia; Arana, José M.; Pérez, Miguel Ángel; Escotto, Eduardo Alejandro (2017) - Role of consciousness and accessibility of death-related thoughts in mortality salience effects. This effect could be explained in terms of a process of rationalization that would allow the idea of one’s own death to be removed from one’s consciousness through attributional processes (“that happened to her because she was emotionally less stable and responsible than me”).

• Compassionate Love for a Romantic Partner Across the Adult Life Span by Neto, Félix; Wilks, Daniela C. (2017) - In the present work we considered global satisfaction and two specific life domains, namely satisfaction with love life and satisfaction with sex life. Other studies have documented that satisfaction with love life is linked to happiness and satisfaction with sex life (Apt, Hurlbert, Pierce, & White, 1996; Neto, 2012a).

Keywords: easterlin; growth; happiness; life
• Conceptual Referents, Personality Traits and Income-Happiness Relationship: An Empirical Investigation by Hussain, Dilwar (2017) - Abstract One of the ongoing debates in social indicator and subjective well-being research is concerned with the weak relationship between objective (such as income) and subjective indicators of well-being (such as life satisfaction). This study suggests that income seems to have a significant influence on life satisfaction for some people (especially with outer oriented referents) and insignificant influence for other people (especially holding inner oriented referents).

• The Centrality of Events Scale for Italian Adolescents: Integrating Traumatic Experience Into One’s Identity and Its Relation to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptomatology by Ionio, Chiara; Mascheroni, Eleonora; Di Blasio, Paola (2018) - A further next step will be to explore whether different traumatic events (for example, being sexually assaulted, child neglect and maltreatment, the death of a parent, etc.) are central to adolescents’ life story, to their personal identity, and to the attribution of meaning to other personal life events in the same or in different ways. For example, males may generally split the negative effect of a stressful experience into each of its components, while females may have more difficulties in marking the different effects that traumatic events may have had on their life stories.

The significance of moral democratic competence for life in schools and civil society As many studies have shown, moral democratic competence plays a key role in the building and maintenance of civil society: It seems that the development of this competence plays an important part in cooperative, pro-social behavior and in the ability to deal with conflict and to make decisions36.

• Addiction, Passion, or Confusion? New Theoretical Insights on Exercise Addiction Research From the Case Study of a Female Body Builder by Szabo, Attila (2018) - Indeed, studies on exercise addiction assess a level of risk for disordered exercise behaviour, characterized by lack of control and negative personal consequences. Although she was susceptible to exercise addiction, attained high scores on obsessive passion, exhibited more than four symptoms on the DSM list, she exhibited no signs of loss of control and she mainly reported positive experiences associated with her exercise behaviour.

• Family Acculturation in Host and Immigrant Couples: Dyadic Research in an Italian Context by Rania, Nadia; Migliorini, Laura; Rebora, Stefania (2018) - In the literature, family acculturation has been conceptualized as a long-term process, during which family members are integrated into the host society (Berry, 2005; Carranza & Turner, 2003). Re- searchers of family acculturation in particular have studied child-parent relationships (Dinh & Nguyen, 2006; Kim, Chen, Li, Huang, & Moon, 2009; Tardif-Williams & Fisher, 2009), adolescent-parent relationships (Martinez, 2006; Smokowski, Rose, & Bacallao, 2008), acculturation stress (Hurwich-Reiss & Gudiño, 2015), second generations (Sabatier & Berry, 2008), family outcomes of acculturation in relation to children (Phinney, Kim-Jo, Osorio, & Vilhjalmsdottir, 2005; Phinney, Ong, & Madden, 2000) and the acculturation gap.

• Associations Between Materialism, Gratitude, and Well-Being in Children of Overseas Filipino Workers by Bernardo, Allan B. I.; Tan-Mansukhani, Roseann; Daganzo, Mary Angeline A. (2018) - Both positive and negative affect are also frequently used as measurements of well-being in materialism research, and both measures of affective well-being having strong and consistent associations with materialism in the meta-analy- sis (Dittmar et al., 2014). The results indicate that some values that contribute to the well-being of OFW children may actually be diminished in the experience of OFW children who are more materialistic.

• Psychobiography as a method. The revival of studying lives: New perspectives in personality and creativity research by Kőváry, Zoltán (2011) - However, in the second half of the last century the nomothetic approach – which studies and formulates the general or universal laws - became hegemonic within personality psychology and, as a consequence, psychoanalytic and personological traditions were relegated in the background, rendering psychobiography an „out of favor” method for decades (Barenbaum & Winter, 2003; Runyan, 1997). Dilthey, through his disciple Eduard Spranger strongly influenced Gordon Allport, the pioneer of idiographic approach in personality psychology, who worked as a postdoc scholar in Germany in 1923 with Spranger (Barenbaum & Winter, 2003).

• The Process Of Dreaming, Communication And A Bit Of Psycho-Analysis (Part 1) by Toplean, Adela (2005) - In his endeavour to approach and explain the remembering process, didn’t Socrates speak to Simmias about that “reservoir” of feelings, ideas and old knowledge that our soul learnt in his extremely long experience of humankind which can (and has to) be produced in the light of consciousness through a sort of anamnesis using – what we now call – the free association process ? Ey, on the other hand, in spite of his following a Freudian-related tradition, points out: “what we take as being the self-consciousness and structure of the living presence-field actually implies the unconscious in the very constitution of our consciousness as well as in the self-construction of the Ego” (Ey, the quoted work, p. 319), our being-conscious unfolds “within an environment founded on everlasting comings and goings between consciousness and the unconscious” (ibid., p. 320).

• You Are the Real Terrorist and We Are Just Your Puppet: Using Individual and Group Factors to Explain Indonesian Muslims’ Attributions of Causes of Terrorism by Mashuri, Ali; Akhrani, Lusy Asa; Zaduqisti, Esti (2016) - The individual factor of Islamic fundamentalism, which has to do with Muslims’ belief in the literal interpretation of and strict guidelines to Islamic doctrines, indirectly predicted both external attribution and internal attribution of terrorism as hypothesized, via the extent to which Muslims perceived the West as posing a symbolic threat, but not a realistic threat to Islamic existence. Uncertainty avoidance, a cultural dimension that describes the extent to which people view clear instructions as a pivotal source of concern to deal with societal problems, also significantly increased perceived symbolic threat and realistic threat, and this cultural dimension mediated the effect of Islamic fundamentalism on each of the intergroup threats.

Those that have surveyed students about bullying tend to use small samples and are from the US (e.g., Young-Jones, Fursa, Byrket, & Sly, 2015), Turkey (e.g., Doğruer & Yaratan, 2014), or ask a slightly younger population than university students (Byrne, Dooley, Fitzgerald, & Dolphin, 2016).

• Updating Ebbinghaus on the Science of Memory by Newman, Eryn J.; Loftus, Elizabeth F. (2012) - We now know for instance, that when people remember trauma too well, they can experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) where they are haunted by memories of a traumatic event via flashbacks, nightmares, and intense physical reactions such as elevated heart rate when they encounter Europe's Journal of Psychology 2012, Vol. 8(2), 209–216 doi:10.5964/ejop.v8i2.453 Updating Ebbinghaus on the Science of Memory 210 http://www.psychopen.eu/ reminders of the traumatic event (APA, 1994).

• Active Use of the Natural Environment for Emotion Regulation by Johnsen, Svein Åge Kjøs; Rydstedt, Leif W. (2013) - Attention restoration theory states that exposure to natural environments will restore cognitive function (Kaplan & Berman, 2010; Kaplan & Kaplan, 1989). The use of favourite places for self-regulation is highly similar to the use of nature for emotion regulation, and one experimental study showed positive effects (on restorative experiences) of prescribing visits to a favourite place once per day, although only one third of the visits in this study were to natural environments (Korpela & Ylén, 2009).

• Café Philosophique with Lou Marinoff by Marinoff, Lou; Popescu, Beatrice (2013) - Regardless of acronyms fashion (also extensively used in corporate world), what prompted you to create your own scheme, with a name so inspiring? Lou Marinoff: The blunt truth is that HarperCollins, the American publisher of Plato Not Prozac, insisted that I come up with a “method” and an acronym in order to make philosophical counseling more “user-friendly” for an American readership. I have come to believe that while many people can and do benefit from philosophical counseling, it is not a panacea and may never attract as many people as does psychological counseling.

• Sibling Relation, Ethnic Prejudice, Direct and Indirect Contact: There is a Connection? by Alfieri, Sara; Marta, Elena (2015) - In this article, we present research based on the known theory of direct contact hypothesis (Allport, 1954; Williams, 1947) and in- direct contact (Wright, Aron, McLaughlin-Volpe, & Ropp, 1997) applied to the sibling relationship. Our hypotheses are a) that young people with friends in the outgroup will report lower prejudice levels (direct contact), as will young people who have older or younger siblings with friends in the outgroup (indirect contact); b) that other forms of contact such as having classmates/coworkers, neighbours, or employees are not effective in reducing either direct or indirect prejudice.

• Does Existential Flexibility Associate With Individuals’ Acceptance of Inequality? A Study Relating Existential Questing to Values and to Prejudice by Miglietta, Anna; Rizzo, Marco; Testa, Silvia; Gattino, Silvia (2023) - GFE “encompasses prejudices toward different groups that are, within a stable structure, substantially interrelated over a period of time even though the level of approval can vary across time, cultures, and individuals” (Zick et al., 2008, p. 364). GFE is powered by a core consisting of devaluing attitudes that are predicted in turn by support for an ideology of inequality (Küpper & Zick, 2014; Zick et al., 2008).

• General and Domain-Specific Contributions to Creative Ideation and Creative Performance by An, Donggun; Runco, Mark A. (2016) - Support for general creativity was inferred from significant correlations among creativity measures in diverse domains (e.g., Hocevar, 1976) and from a significant relationship between general (divergent thinking test) and specific creativity measures (e.g., Plucker, 1999). It makes sense that Domain-Specific Creative Activity is associated with General Creative Ideation and Activity—after all, they are all about creativity, and general components of creativity could contribute to domain specific creativity, even Europe's Journal of Psychology 2016, Vol. 12(4), 523–532 doi:10.5964/ejop.v12i4.1132 Predicting Creative Performance 528 http://www.psychopen.eu/ if they are not redundant.

• How Personality Traits Predict Design-Driven Consumer Choices by Myszkowski, Nils; Storme, Martin (2012) - Individual differences in the significance that consumers hold for the visual aestheticism of the design of products may also be measured more explicitly by self-report scales, especially the Centrality of Visual Product Aesthetics scale (Bloch et al., 2003), which differentiates valuing design in choosing products (“Value”), skillfully evaluating product designs (“Acumen”), and feeling the urge to buy products with superior designs (“Response”). The subscale “Acumen” measures the extent to which an individual skillfully assesses design in products (e.g. “Being able to see subtle differences in product designs is one skill that I have developed over time.”).

• A Review and Critique of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Etiologies by Hertler, Steven Charles (2014) - Obsessive personality traits were associated with “significantly lower copy organization scores” and slower performance during the recall phase (Aycicegi-Dinn et al., 2009, p. 601). Psychoanalytic theories anachronistically maintain that obsessive personality is familially forged.

• The Effects of Attractiveness and Status on Personality Evaluation by Tartaglia, Stefano; Rollero, Chiara (2015) - Concerning Target gender, in a cross cultural study McCrae and Terracciano (2005) found that different traits related to Openness personality factor have different relations with target gender (i.e. men are higher in Openness to ideas whereas women in Openness to feelings). Contrary to what was expected, target status did not have any effect. Keywords: attractiveness; effect; evaluation; gender; journal; personality; psychology; status; targets; women
• Paradoxical Personality and Academic Achievement in College Students From Buenos Aires by Freiberg Hoffmann, Agustín; Fernández Liporace, María Mercedes (2015) - When teaching strategies match students personality traits, academic achievement will improve, since learning processes could be enhanced (Crozier, 2001). Europe's Journal of Psychology 2015, Vol. 11(4), 597–618 doi:10.5964/ejop.v11i4.898 Paradoxical Personality in College Students 600 http://www.psychopen.eu/ Additionally, some studies reported the positive influence of several traits observed in creative students on aca- demic achievement – flexibility and openness to experience, efficacy, independence, cognitive control, integrity, honesty, intuition, acceptance of authority, self-confidence, curiosity, concern about other people and disciplined imagination (e.g. Campos & González, 1993; de Acedo Baquedano & de Acedo Lizarraga, 2012; Dollinger, Palaskonis, & Pearson, 2004; Runco & McGarva, 2013; Silvia, Nusbaum, Berg, Martin, & O’Connor, 2009; Sternberg, 2006).

• The Meaning of Voices in Understanding and Treating Psychosis: Moving Towards Intervention Informed by Collaborative Formulation by Lonergan, Aoife (2017) - Examining both the important biological and psychosocial factors influencing psychosis may lead to improved understanding and interventions for voice hearers. In contrast, two RCT studies of group CBT for voice hearers found no significant effect of treatment on severity of symptoms (Barrowclough et al., 2006; Wykes et al., 2005). Keywords: hearing; journal; meaning; model; psychology; psychosis; schizophrenia; therapy; voices
• A Cognitive Distortions and Deficits Model of Suicide Ideation by Fazakas-DeHoog, Laura L.; Rnic, Katerina; Dozois, David J. A. (2017) - While it has limitations, the cognitive distortions and cognitive deficits model has important implications for suicidology research and for the assessment and treatment of suicide ideation. Discussion The primary goal of the current study was to assess the integrity of the proposed cognitive distortions and cognitive deficits model of suicidal thinking. Keywords: beck; deficits; distortions; hopelessness; ideation; journal; model; problem; psychology; research; solving; study; suicide; suicide ideation
• Is Rumination a Risk and a Protective Factor? by Harding, Kaitlin A.; Mezulis, Amy (2017) - Positive rumination and brooding may exert dual effects on PA and NA as part of this affect amplification process, with positive rumination amplifying PA while diminishing NA and brooding amplifying NA while diminishing PA. This finding suggested that the impact of positive rumination may be specific to anhedonia, with greater positive rumination predicting fewer anhedonic depressive symptoms but not predicting the excess of negative affect and associated symptoms that comprise depressive disorders.

• The Flow Engine Framework: A Cognitive Model of Optimal Human Experience by Šimleša, Milija; Guegan, Jérôme; Blanchard, Edouard; Tarpin-Bernard, Franck; Buisine, Stéphanie (2018) - Firstly, we believe that flow experience arises from the combination of favorable contextual factors (preconditions) and activation of specific cognitive functions (attentional and motivational processes) likely to mediate and/or moderate flow process. Research has shown a significant relationship between flow experiences and mindfulness (e.g., Wright, Sadlo, & Stew, 2006).

• Testing Intergroup Threat Theory: Realistic and Symbolic Threats, Religiosity and Gender as Predictors of Prejudice by Makashvili, Ana; Vardanashvili, Irina; Javakhishvili, Nino (2018) - On the other hand, realistic threats involve more rational responses in general, such as seeking information about an out-group and negotiating with it (Stephan et al., 2009), which might account for why religiosity – a less rational phenomenon positively related to likewise less pragmatic phenomena such as rigid morality, conventionality, the need for closure (see Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003) and supernatural beliefs (Oliver & Wood, 2014) – takes over realistic threat in explaining prejudice. Economically powerful out-groups or people with diseases might elicit realistic threats (Stephan et al., 2005), while socially marginalized out-groups, such as homosexuals (Haddock, Zanna, & Esses, 1993) and sects (Stephan et al., 2009), engender symbolic threats.

• Mediating Processes in the Relations of Parental Monitoring and School Climate With Cyberbullying: The Role of Moral Disengagement by Bartolo, Maria Giuseppina; Palermiti, Anna Lisa; Servidio, Rocco; Musso, Pasquale; Costabile, Angela (2019) - However, although research has quite consistently found an inverse relation between positive school climate and cyberbullying (e.g., Hinduja & Patchin, 2012), more studies are needed to clearly determine the specific components of school climate which are related to cyberbullying experiences. Based on a recent work of Acosta et al. (2018), we conceptualized positive school climate as a multidimension- al construct including positive peer relationships, good teacher behaviors, rule fairness and clarity, and school engagement to achievement.

• Energy-Saving Behaviours in Workplaces: Application of an Extended Model of the Theory of Planned Behaviour by Canova, Luigina; Manganelli, Anna Maria (2020) - In his meta-analysis, Klöckner (2013) noted that roughly 40% of all papers published in the environmental-psychological field had used the TPB as their basic theoretical framework, and analysing 56 different data sets with a variety of environmental behaviours showed that inten- tions, PBC, and habits were identified as direct predictors of behaviour. A comprehensive model of the psychology of environmental behaviour a meta-analysis. Keywords: attitude; behaviours; energy; habit; intention; journal; model; pbc; psychology; saving; tpb
• Predictors of Positive and Negative Risk-Taking in Adolescents and Young Adults: Similarities and Differences by Fryt, Joanna; Szczygieł, Monika (2021) - Such a finding suggests that it is chosen for exploration and personal growth, and that people who take positive risks look for rewards in the social world, in a socially accepted way. Also, if social and academic domains predominate among examples of positive risk-taking, we can overestimate the role of social or academic competence in choosing positive risks. Keywords: ambiguity; domain; model; predictors; risk; taking
• A Critique of the IQ / Achievement Discrepancy Model for Identifying Specific Learning Disabilities by Restori, Albert F.; Katz, Gary S.; Lee, Howard B. (2009) - In discussing the unreliability of the discrepancy approach, Shepard (1980) proposed that students be administered at-least four separate combinations of IQ and achievement tests in order to derive a reliable estimate of the student’s discrepancy score. However, this procedure would take school psychologists up to 12 hours of testing just on IQ and achievement tests, which does not have much practical appeal. Keywords: achievement; children; disabilities; discrepancy; education; intelligence; learning; model; school; sld
• Psych-Aetiology Graph (PAG) by Al Mualla, Saoud (2009) - This model has been used in the formulation of client conditions as it is holistic and takes into account all the factors which may play a part in their disorders. As can be seen from these two examples, each condition and each patient will have different PAG with different ‘hits’ and ‘lifts’. Keywords: aetiology; client; factors; graph; model; pag; psych
• Criminal Attitudes, Recidivistic Behaviour, and the Mediating Role of Associations with Criminal Friends: An Empirical Investigation within a Prison Sample of Violent Offenders by Boduszek, Daniel; Hyland, Philip; Pedziszczak, Jacek; Kielkiewicz, Krzysztof (2012) - Differential Association Theory which explains the development of criminal behaviour as a result of a variety of association with other individuals who possess criminal attitudes and engage in criminal behaviours and the learning theories of criminality or delinquency (Akers, 1985; Akers et al., 1979) which describe the central role played by criminal associates in an individual’s learning of how to commit criminal acts. Abstract Previous studies suggested a significant interaction between criminal attitudes, associations with criminal friends, and criminal behaviour. Keywords: associates; associations; attitudes; behaviour; friends; model; psychology; recidivism
• Validation of Dimensionality of Affect Intensity using the Hindi Version of the Emotional Intensity Scale by Pandey, Rakesh; Saxena, Prachi (2012) - However, the observation that some items loaded on factors other than that which they belonged to (or loaded on both factors) puts a caveat on the factorial purity of the EIS-H, particularly the factorial purity of the positive affect intensity factor as it was found to be composed of both positive (14 items) and negative (3 items) affect intensity items. However, the study pointed out the possibility of splitting the negative affect intensity factor into two components - the frustration/anger and a non-anger component.

• Transactional Analysis seen by a critical parent eye: Crossed transactions, reality or graphic illusion? Parallel communication by Attila, Vandra (2006) - The distinction between real complementary (cooperative) transactions and false complementary (parallel) transactions can be made on both (classical and rotated) models, representing cooperative transactions as double sense arrows, and parallel transactions as parallel, contrary simple sense arrows. We can find many transactions, which on the classical representation are represented by not-crossing arrows, but they are not cooperative ones, they are typical game transactions: „Youngsters of today…” “When we were of their age…” is a typical P↔P (CP↔CP) complementary transaction (time-spending).

• Exploring Spontaneous Imitation in Infancy: A Three Generation Inter-Familial Study by Kokkinaki, Theano; Vitalaki, Elena (2013) - Descriptive comparisons provide evidence that the developmental trajectories of infant imitative behavior did not differ significantly between the mother-infant pairs of Groups 1 and 2 and the mother-infant pairs of Group 1 and grandmother-infant pairs of Group 2 across the age range of this study, although infant imitations in the mother- infant interactions of Group 2 showed a non-significant increasing trend at 9.5 months. Both comparisons provided evidence of similar frequency of imitative exchanges and developmental trajectories of infant imitations, but also differences in the structure of imitation, the kinds of imitated behaviors and the temporal patterns of imitative components.

• An Integrated Framework Involving Enactive Learning Experiences, Mastery Goals, and Academic Engagement-Disengagement by Phan, Huy P. (2014) - Abstract Situating within the 2 × 2 model of achievement goals, this short-term study examined the central roles of tasks values, mastery-approach and mastery-avoidance goals, and academic engagement and disengagement in students’ future achievement outcome in mathematics. Situating within the framework of achievement goals other theoretical constructs, similarly, also account for the overall variance of academic learning – for example, academic engagement-disengagement (Martin & Dowson, 2009; Martin, Malmberg, & Liem, 2010; Suárez-Orozco, Pimentel, & Martin, 2009) and task values (Eccles, 2005; Hulleman, Durik, Schweigert, & Harackiewicz, 2008).

• National Identification and Collective Emotions as Predictors of Pro-Social Attitudes Toward Islamic Minority Groups in Indonesia by Mashuri, Ali; Zaduqisti, Esti (2014) - Such predicaments take form in, for example, the nationwide banning for Ahmadis and Shiites to practice their faith publicly and displacement of these members of Islamic minority groups to isolated areas after the de- struction of their mosques, houses, and schools (Budiman, 2013; Hermawan, 2013). Another observation in this study that national identification correlates positively with collective pride and collective guilt confirms the rationale of ‘group identity lens model’ (Turner & Reynolds, 2001).

• Examining Method Effect of Synonym and Antonym Test in Verbal Abilities Measure by Widhiarso, Wahyu; Haryanta, - (2015) - Abstract Many researchers have assumed that different methods could be substituted to measure the same attributes in assessment. For this reason, different instruments that measure the same construct (e.g., self-esteem)—such as Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Inventory and Copper- smith’s Self-Esteem Inventory—could be perceived as different methods for measuring self-esteem.

• Mothers and Fathers in NICU: The Impact of Preterm Birth on Parental Distress by Ionio, Chiara; Colombo, Caterina; Brazzoduro, Valeria; Mascheroni, Eleonora; Confalonieri, Emanuela; Castoldi, Francesca; Lista, Gianluca (2016) - Until the Nineties, prema- turity was defined on the basis of birth weight, however, in recent years gestational age has been considered as the main indicator of physical and neurological maturation of preterm babies (Sansavini & Faldella, 2013). The appearance of preterm babies is perceived as less physically attractive than the features of full-terms: they are immature and show less infantile facial features (Goldberg & DiVitto, 2002; Hildebrandt & Fitzgerald, 1979; Hoffenkamp et al., 2012).

• Materiality and Cognitive Development: Contemporary Debates and Empirical Studies in Early Childhood by Alessandroni, Nicolás; Ferreira, Juliene Madureira (2024) - Within this literature, cognition is conceptualized in terms of dynamic interactions between agents and their environments (Gallagher, 2020; Kiverstein & Rietveld, 2021; Newen et al., 2018), while cognitive development is viewed as the incremental enaction of practical skills (e.g., Nonaka & Goldfield, 2018; Travieso et al., 2020; Yakhlef & Rietveld, 2020), habits (e.g., Brinck & Reddy, 2020; Sheets-Johnstone, 2014), recurrent forms of material engagement (e.g., Alessandroni, 2021, 2023; Aston, 2020, 2022; Malafouris, 2019, 2020; Prezioso & Alessandroni, 2023), as well as expectations, anticipations, coordinations, and potentials for behaviour that unfold across various timescales (e.g., Adolph, 2019; Ossmy & Adolph, 2020).

To sum up, in light of the empirically weak (supported only by cross-sectional and longitudinal, but not cross-sequential data), yet “often cited 4th grade slump in creativity test scores” (Torrance, 1968, p. 195), the necessity of conducting cross-sequential studies becomes apparent.

• Training of Attention in Children With Low Arithmetical Achievement by Guarnera, Maria; D’Amico, Antonella (2014) - Even if the results of different studies are sometimes inconsistent with regard to the functioning of verbal short term memory (see Raghubar, Barnes, & Hecht, 2010, for a review), there is a general agreement about the relationship between children’s arithmetical skills and their performance in visuo-spatial tasks (D’Amico & Guarnera, 2005; McLean & Hitch, 1999) and working memory tasks involving central executive abilities. Indeed, many studies demonstrated that children with Arithmetical Learning Disabilities (ALD) do not always show difficulties in working memory tasks requiring lower executive resources, such as backward word span tasks or digit span tasks (D’Amico & Guarnera, 2005; Fuchs et al., 2008; Passolunghi & Cornoldi, 2008; Reuhkala, 2001; Siegel & Ryan, 1989; Swanson & Beebe-Frankenberger, 2004; van der Sluis, van der Leij, & de Jong, 2005), while they more consistently fail in tasks, such as the listening span task and the counting span task, requiring specific executive processes such as inhibitory control, updating, and attention switching, in line with models of working memory that focus on the importance of attentional control (e.g., Engle, 2002).

• Facial Expressions and Ability to Recognize Emotions From Eyes or Mouth in Children by Guarnera, Maria; Hichy, Zira; Cascio, Maura I.; Carrubba, Stefano (2015) - Other studies have reported that there are few interesting changes in facial emotion recognition occurring after the age of 7 (Kirouac, Doré, & Gosselin, 1985) or 10 (Tremblay, Kirouac, & Doré, 1987). This result can be linked to cognitive development too: facial emotion recognition gradually improves throughout normal development, so a poor accuracy in recognizing facial expressions such as surprise, sadness, and neutral could be related to the age of the group.

• Validation of a Newly Developed Instrument Establishing Links Between Motivation and Academic Hardiness by Kamtsios, Spiridon; Karagiannopoulou, Evangelia (2016) - From the conceptual meaning of the nine factors of the question- naire we can hypothesize that the mechanism whereby this beneficial effect takes place seems to involve the tendency of high academic hardiness children to: (a) View school life events (e.g. failure) as less stressful (e.g. factor 7 & 9), (2) Cope effectively with these events (e.g. factor 2), (3) Avoid excessive psychological arousal and be aware of their feelings (factor 5) and (4) Pursue positive practices (e.g. factor 2 & 6). High academic hardiness children appear more aware for the reason they experience the unpleasant situation.

• Clinical judgement in violence risk assessment by Murray, Jennifer; Thomson, Mary E. (2010) - However, while the impact of group processes on decision making in violence risk assessment would appear to be extremely relevant within a clinical setting due to the increasing tendency for clinicians to conduct violence risk assessments in groups (Croskerry, 2005), research of this nature (that is, the exploration of social salience/subgroup categorization on group decision making) has largely not been empirically applied to the field of clinical decision making in violence risk assessment. In addition, the present article has highlighted the need for a greater focus on the ways in which risk assessment and management could be improved and informed through more targeted research investigating the actual process of violence risk assessment (e.g., Elbogen, 2002), and the need for research investigating the possible social effects of multi- disciplinary group decision making, and the impact of cognitive heuristics and biases on the accuracy and efficacy of violence risk assessments.

• The Theory of Planned Behavior and the Social Identity Approach: A New Look at Group Processes and Social Norms in the Context of Student Binge Drinking by Willis, Loren; Lee, Eunro; Reynolds, Katherine J.; Klik, Kathleen A. (2020) - Adopting a controlled statistical analysis, the hypothesized model expands the theory of planned behavior’s current conceptualization of group norms and considers how the behavioral content of a specific group, with group identification, impacts binge drinking behavior (N = 551 university students). In the current study, a possible extension of the TPB is proposed with respect to further emphasis on the social identity approach and group norms.

• Is there a decline in verbal working memory over age? by van den Noort, Maurits; Haverkort, Marco; Bosch, Peggy; Hugdahl, Kenneth (2006) - Many aging theories also predict larger age-related effects for working memory span than for short-term memory span. 3) Theories focusing on coordinative task requirements (e.g., Mayr & Kliegl, 1993), predict larger age differences in working memory span than in short-term memory span, because working memory tasks require the coordination of concurrent storage and processing demands, which is a demand absent in short-term memory tasks.

• Therapy Beyond Modernity – Interview with Dr. Richard House by Popescu, Beatrice (2005) - I am sorry about that reaction – for my overriding concern in the book is to pose searching, counter-intuitive questions about therapy, the honest and fearless engagement with which can only strengthen, rather than undermine or subvert, therapy practice.

• Semiotic mediation, psychological development process and social representations: towards a theoretical and methodological integration by Fávero, Maria Helena (2007) - Social representations and personal paradigms Given this, we can move on: in the final analysis, this active human being constructs, in his/her interaction with social representations and given sociocultural practices, what we have called, as in the post-modern approach of Young (1997), the personal paradigm, which, while not isolated from the collective, preserves the unique and particular individual identity of the subject, if we consider the notion of internalisation as transformation, as mentioned above. He therefore defends a dialectical relationship between individual and society (see Feffer, 1990), such that the classical dichotomies of mind / body, individual / collective, thought / language and cognition / emotion lose their meaning: Human society as we known it could not exist without minds and selves, since all its most characteristic features presuppose the possession of minds and selves by its individual members; but its individuals members would not possess mind and selves if these had not arisen within or emerged out of human social process in its lower stage of development – those stages at which it was merely a resultant of, and wholly dependent upon, the physiological differentiation and demands of individual organisms implicated in it (Mead, 1992, p. 227) Keywords: analysis; development; group; individual; interaction; mediation; mind; press; processes; psychology; representations; social; speech; subject

• Prevalence, symptomatology, and risk factors for depression among high school students in Saudi Arabia by Abdel-Fattah, Moataz M.; Asal, Abdel-Rahman A. (2006) - Comparable findings have been reported by others; the 1986 study of Minnesota high school students revealed that 39 percent suffer from mild to severe depression and nine percent of high school students are severely depressed.19 The lifetime prevalence of major depression in adolescents and young adults (15—24 years of age) in the United States general population has been reported as 20.6% for females and 10.5% for males (Kessler et al., 1998).20 Cubis (1989) reported that Around 20 per cent of young people suffer from depressed mood, with up to 43 per cent reporting feeling sad for at least two weeks in the past year.21 Lewinsohn, Rohde et al (1998) found that approximately 28% of adolescents will have experienced a major depressive episode by age 19 (35% of young women and 19% of young men).22 Another epidemiological study has reported that up to 8.3% of adolescents in the US suffer from depression.5 An NIMH-sponsored study of 9 to 17-year-olds have estimated that the prevalence of any depression is more than 6% in a 6-month-period, with 4.9% having major depression.23 Also, epidemiological utility and characteristics of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were examined in a sample of 304 non-clinical adolescents in Indian schools and revealed that 22.4% of school going girls and 12.8% of school going boys had depression of various grades.24 Rutter, (1986a), suggest a variety of explanations for increasing prevalence of depression at adolescence age and that increasing level may be genetically determined and these genes triggered at late childhood or adolescence.25 In accordance with Jimerson et al who indicated that single risk factors can rarely be conceived as resulting in depressive outcomes. The magnitude of child and adolescent depression is clearly a major mental health problem.5 There have been several efforts to improve the early detection of depression and to develop programs to prevent and treat it as soon as possible.8 This study was undertaken to find out prevalence and pattern of depression among secondary school students in Saudi Arabia as well as to clarify the degree to which stressful life events lead to depression.

(2010) - The prevalence of sexist humor in popular culture and its disguise as benign amusement or ―just a joke‖ give it potential to cultivate distress and harassment for women and to facilitate tolerance of sexism and discriminatory behavior among men. Thus, understanding the social consequences of sexist humor is a critical project for research in social psychology.

• Humor, an Antidote to Life’s Incongruities by Ilie, Alexandra (2006) - Sometimes you can challenge maladaptive humor with healthy forms of humor. Nowadays we come across both healthy forms of humor and maladaptive ones (teasing, putting other people down, sarcasm, boorish humor). Keywords: humor; john; morreall
• On the Gift of Humor by Berger, Arthur Asa (2008) - That is, mirthful humor has a remarkable therapeutic value that is connected to our survival, psychologically as well as physically. On the Gift of Humor Arthur Asa Berger Human beings were given many gifts when we were created, such as imagination, inventiveness, and reason, but I often think the greatest gift was a sense of humor. Keywords: humor
• Why We Laugh and What Makes Us Laugh: 'The Enigma of Humor' by Berger, Arthur Asa (2013) - There are four competing theories that explain humor, each of which argues that all humor is based on: superiority, incongruity, cognitive problems in processing humor and psychoanalytic perspectives (such as masked aggression). The most widely accepted theory of humor is the “incongruity” theory which argues that humor is based on the difference between what we expect and what we get. Keywords: humor; incongruity; joke; laughter
• Humorous Coping and Serious Reappraisal: Short-Term and Longer-Term Effects by Samson, Andrea C.; Glassco, Alana L.; Lee, Ihno A.; Gross, James J. (2014) - We hypothesized that in the short-term, humorous coping would lead to greater increases in positive emotion and decreases in negative emotion than serious re- appraisal. In addition, we expect these effects to persist over time and therefore hypothesize that humorous coping, compared to serious reappraisal, would lead to greater increases in positive emotion and greater decreases in negative emotion in the longer-term.

• What Are You Laughing at? A Comprehensive Guide to the Comedic Event by Martin, Rod A. (2014) - However, he defines comedy in much the same way that contemporary humor scholars refer to humor: as an umbrella term used to describe all forms of funny, amusing, or laughter-evoking phenomena. Various theories, for example, have tried to explain all of humor in terms of aggression, superiority, relief, incongruity, surprise, disgust, or subver- sion.

• Europe’s New Identity: The Refugee Crisis and the Rise of Nationalism by Postelnicescu, Claudia (2016) - Europe is nowadays at a crossroad, divided between the need to remain faithful to its core democratic values and freedoms, maintaining an area of freedom and justice and the need to protect its citizens against the new terrorism and the rise of nationalistic leaders and parties that require less Europe and more power back to the nation states.

• Conservation Motivation, Social Equality and Left-Right Ideological Preferences in Western and Eastern Europe by Hadarics, Márton (2017) - In accordance with the results of former studies presented above, we assumed that in Western Europe conservation motivation is related to rightist ideological preferences, partly mediated by anti-equality beliefs regarding both cultural and economic issues. On the other hand, while the direction of the relationship between economic egalitarianism and left-right ideological preferences was the same in the CEE sample as in the Western European sample (bE-Eu = -.340; S.E. = .047; p < .001), there was no significant relationship between cultural-intergroup egalitarianism and personal ideological preferences within the CEE sample (bE-Eu = .178; S.E. = .116; p = .124).

• Cross-Cultural Variation in Political Leadership Styles by Paramova, Petia; Blumberg, Herbert (2017) - Avolio and Bass (1988) and Bass and Avolio (1990) presented a more elaborate transformational leadership theory—the Full Range Model—wherein transformational leadership style is contrasted with transactional and passive/avoidant styles. The inclusion of political leader MLQ (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) self-ratings from direct leader assessment, the assessment of the transformational, transactional and passive avoidant leadership frequency data and the examination of the effects of variables such as culture might allow for more complete knowledge of political leadership style.

• Psychological Well-Being, Multiple Identities, and Discrimination Among First and Second Generation Immigrant Muslims by Giuliani, Cristina; Tagliabue, Semira; Regalia, Camillo (2018) - These include socio-demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, age at the time of immigration, length of stay in the host country, generation of immigration), post-migration variables (e.g., acculturation factors, religious identity), and social contextual variables (e.g., perceived discrimination). Notably, religious identity has been rarely included in studies that explore heritage (ethnic) or mainstream (national) cultural orientations (Verkuyten et al., 2012; Verkuyten & Yildiz, 2007), yet it should be included to understand the extent to which different dimensions of identity are likely to differently affect well-being.

• Why Is Working Memory Performance Unstable? A Review of 21 Factors by Blasiman, Rachael N.; Was, Christopher A. (2018) - Musical Training Musical training has also been investigated for its beneficial effect on WM task performance (Besson, Schön, Moreno, Santos, & Magne, 2007; Williamon & Egner, 2004). Specifically, we review previous work on the influence of intelligence, gender, age, personality, mental illnesses/ medical conditions, dieting, craving, stress/anxiety, emotion/motivation, stereotype threat, temperature, mindfulness training, practice, bilingualism, musical training, altitude/hypoxia, sleep, exercise, diet, psychoactive substances, and brain stimulation on WM performance.

• Irrational Beliefs by Žeželj, Iris; Lazarević, Ljiljana B. (2019) - In addition to Ethos of Conflict (Bar-Tal, 2007) and basic social attitudes (Saucier, 2013), which are already found to be important ingredients in unwillingness to recon- cile, the authors introduce the Conspiracy Mentality, i.e. the proneness to conspiracy beliefs (Bruder et al., 2013), as an important factor hindering reconciliation and facilitating prolongation of intergroup conflict. This effect, however, was stronger in the group of skeptics than in the group of believers, probably because conspiracy beliefs are socially stigmatized.

• Hitchcock’s Conscious Use of Freud’s Unconscious by Sandis, Constantine (2009) - Alfred Hitchcock, in interview21 Scripted by Joseph Stefano (from the novel by Robert Bloch), Psycho is chiefly remembered for its notorious shower scene rather than for any association with psychoanalysis, yet it is the most Freudian of all Hitchcock’s films. Alfred Hitchcock in interview38 Frequently asked about his obsession with the theme of innocent men accused, Hitchcock would volunteer constantly mutating versions of the above - most likely apocryphal – story.

• Bringing down the Wall by Enache, Andreea (2005) - The dilemma was mainly between whether I should bore you with or try to raise your interests in our frustrations, for, as you can easily imagine, such a pursuit as the one of making up a scientific psychological journal intended for the whole European research area cannot stem up but from some great disappointment; or, I could focus on the positive side of our attempt: that of rejecting the victim’s position and creating a space that will provide us with the external instruments for building up a community of people dedicated to scientific psychology and its best practices. What I can say is that we want this journal to be a starting point for communication and collaboration between students and professionals activating or interested in scientific psychology in Europe , and we see in this project a very good chance for developing and participating in a process that has already started: that of creating and enforcing the European research area. Keywords: europe
• Is there a European Identity? by Dittrich van Weringh, Kathinka (2005) - The EU member states agreed to introduce a cultural component into the binding European treaty of Maastricht in 1991; they consequently allowed a small- far too small- European budget for culture and education; they have decided not to let culture and the arts fall prey to international market forces in the WTO negotiations (which means that there is still a fixed book price, or a reduced VAT on cultural goods – measures that are unfortunately not yet introduced in Central and Eastern Europe); they are beginning to realise that the creative cultural and artistic potential of Europe is not only vital for social cohesion but is also a crucial element for Europe `s competitiveness in our globalised world; it dawns on them that the official European Neighbourhood Policy and the emerging European foreign policy need a stronger cultural component. This shared belief was decisive when people and peoples peacefully abolished dictatorships in all parts of Europe, right wing ones, such as in Spain, Portugal and Greece, Soviet left wing ones as in Central and Eastern Europe.

• The French Vision of Europe from Victor Hugo’s United States of Europe to the No to the Constitution by Viegnes, Michel (2005) - Similarly, we could say that the French always had « a certain idea of Europe », that is a French idea, to be more precise. We can notice these days, following the 60th anniversary of the United Nations, that Hugo primarily justifies the idea of union of European states by the need to preserve peace, as the ONU Charter did in 1946; Europe should first be a space without war, its genius should imagine nonviolent solutions for unavoidable litigation.

• Cultural Models Shaping Stalking From a Content Analysis of Italian Newspapers by Caputo, Andrea (2013) - If we consider such processes as simultaneously present, then we understand the high risk of violence escalation in stalking behaviour (Baldry & Roia, 2011), which can result in murder as an extreme act to establish control over the victim’s life. Indeed, the analysis of the press discourse on stalking seems to offer a stereotypical portrait of women, mainly depicted as social victims or weak wives/partners, subjected to male dominance.

• Improvement of working memory performance by training is not transferable by Corbin, Lucie; Camos, Valérie (2011) - Moreover, in the literature, the claim that the strategy does not influence WM task performance is primarily supported by the fact that the processing task occurs too quickly, and the participants have no time to develop any strategy. Therefore, Barrouillet and collaborators have developed a new paradigm to systematically explore the functioning of WM using WM span tasks that were not self- paced, as traditional tasks, but computer-paced (Barrouillet et al., 2004; Barrouillet, Bernardin, Portrat, & Camos, 2007; Camos, Lagner, Barrouillet, 2009; Vergauwe, Barrouillet and Camos, 2010).

• Memory for emotional events: The accuracy of central and peripheral details by Lanciano, Tiziana; Curci, Antonietta (2011) - Overview and hypotheses As can be seen from the aforementioned, empirical research concerning the accuracy of emotional memory details has reached controversial and debatable results. The strength of the present study is to explore the accuracy of emotional memory details in a natural but controlled context, whereas previous reserch work has mainly focused on the induction of an emotional state in an experimental setting and, then on the assessment of a performance memory tasks (Reisberg & Huer, 1992; Christianson, 1992).

• From the Collective Unconscious to the Narrative Unconscious: Re-Imagining the Sources of Selfhood by Freeman, Mark (2016) - Rather, it is a region of what I have referred to as “deep history” and, in turn, “deep identity” (see Freeman, 2010a, 2010b) and is thus an inevitable fusion of our own contemporaneous experience, which is itself mediated, and those more distant mediations that derive from without. The Burden of the Past In order to round out the picture I have been painting in this essay, I want briefly to turn to one last case, one that deals not only with the ways in which one’s deep history is constitutive of one’s identity but the ways in which one may be implicated by a history far removed—in time if not in feeling—from one’s own life.

• The Effects of Maltreatment in Childhood on Working Memory Capacity in Adulthood by Dodaj, Arta; Krajina, Marijana; Sesar, Kristina; Šimić, Nataša (2017) - Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between different forms of child maltreatment (physical and psychological abuse, neglect and witnessing family violence) and working memory difficulties (working memory capacity for verbal and numeric information, executive functioning and attention ability), and hence determine the predictive value of different forms of maltreatment on different memory types. The correlation analysis of the results suggests that all forms of maltreatment are significantly related to all the examined forms of difficulties in working memory capacity, whereby the correlation is highest for total working memory capacity and difficulties in the recall of verbal information.

• Experimental Investigation Examining the Effects of Acute Exercise on Implicit Memory Function by Loprinzi, Paul D.; Gilbert, Morgan; Robinson, Gina; Dickerson, Briahna (2019) - Minimal research, however, has examined whether acute exercise is associated with implicit memory, which was the purpose of this study.

• At the Roots of Product Placement: The Mere Exposure Effect by Ruggieri, Stefano; Boca, Stefano (2013) - Brand exposure lasted from about one to about two minutes (at times brand exposures partially overlapped each other). These conclusions are in line with those of Auty and Lewis (2004), Law and Braun (2000), and van Reijmersdal, Neijens, and Smit (2007), who showed that brand placement effects on brand choice were unrelated to memory.

• Are Differences Between Men and Women in Rotated Pattern Recognition Due to the Use of Different Cognitive Strategies? by Brandner, Catherine; Devaud, Cédric (2013) - Although men exhibited a greater ability to recognize target stimuli that had been viewed during the learning phase than women, no gender difference was observed in the ability to recognize stimuli viewed only during the discrim- ination phase. Abstract A recursive hypothesis suggests that gender differences in spatial abilities, including mental rotation tasks, are the result of differences in the strategies that men and women use to process information.

• Mental Models for the Negation of Conjunctions and Disjunctions by Macbeth, Guillermo; Razumiejczyk, Eugenia; Crivello, María del Carmen; Bolzán, Claudia; Pereyra Girardi, Carolina Iris; Campitelli, Guillermo (2014) - This is because previous studies found differences in performance between concrete and abstract material in a variety of reasoning tasks (Wason & Johnson-Laird, 1972). About this issue Gilhooly (2005) proposed a gen- eral conjecture that predicts simpler processing strategies as reasoning tasks become more complex (Stupple, Ball, & Ellis, 2013).

• Theory of Mind Development in Adolescence and Early Adulthood: The Growing Complexity of Recursive Thinking Ability by Valle, Annalisa; Massaro, Davide; Castelli, Ilaria; Marchetti, Antonella (2015) - Working memory is correlated with total recursive thinking, whereas performance on the linguistic comprehension task is related to third level recursive thinking in both theory of mind tasks. The study of theory of mind in adolescence and early adulthood constitutes a methodological challenge, because it requires the creation of new theory of mind tasks in order to capture age differences (Henry et al., 2013; Moran, 2013).

• Womb envy and Western society: On the devaluation of nurturing in psychotherapy and society by Semmelhack, Diana; Ende, Larry; Farrell, Karen; Pojas, Julieanne (2011) - The imagery of baptism, according to Ruether (1983), …combines male womb envy with womb negation (p. 144). On the devaluation of nurturing in psychotherapy and society Diana Semmelhack Larry Ende Midwestern University Psychotherapist Karen Farrell Midwestern University Julieanne Pojas Midwestern University Abstract Our purposes in part I of the essay are: 1) to suggest that womb envy has been a significant element in the formation of our culture (in the context of the traditions of Judaism, Roman Catholicism, and Islam), and 2) to make more evident the presence and the significance of the devaluation of nurturing in our society, in part by linking this devaluation of nurturing to its history in the phenomenon of womb envy.

• Bystander Reactions to Workplace Incivility: The Role of Gender and Discrimination Claims by Sinclair, Samantha (2021) - That is, whether men and women receive different levels of support in the case of gender discrimination attributions per se, or if there is a gender bias regardless of the co-worker’s attributions, which could be the case if women are regarded as victims in general (regardless of context). More specifically, the question is whether co-workers will evoke stronger reactions and helping intentions when they attribute being belittled by another co-worker to gender discrimination.

• Coming to Terms With Permanent Involuntary Childlessness: A Phenomenological Analysis of Bulletin Board Postings by Malik, Sumaira H.; Coulson, Neil S. (2013) - Furthermore, research reveals that online infertility support communities can offer many of the therapeutic and self-help processes that occur in face-to-face support networks and can create a strong sense of camaraderie among participants (Malik & Coulson, 2010a). The benefits of accessing online infertility support communities have been shown to be experienced by both individuals who actively post messages to online communities as well as those individuals who simply access the community to read messages posted by others (Malik & Coulson, 2011).

• Dyadic Empathy, Dyadic Coping, and Relationship Satisfaction: A Dyadic Model by Levesque, Christine; Lafontaine, Marie-France; Caron, Angela; Flesch, Jamie Lyn; Bjornson, Sophie (2014) - Moreover, results indicated that both forms of one’s own dyadic empathy were related to greater one’s own dyadic coping and greater one’s own relationship satisfaction for men and women. Moreover, we expected that both one’s own and the partner’s dyadic coping processes would mediate the association between one’s own dyadic empathy and relationship satisfaction.

• Exploring Identity in Muslim Moroccan and Pakistani Immigrant Women by Giuliani, Cristina; Tagliabue, Semira (2015) - Moreover, the levels of participation of women in the workforce are different for Mo- roccan and Pakistani communities: while 22% of Moroccan women are part of the Italian labor market, the same is true for only 3% of Pakistani women (Centro Studi e Ricerche [IDOS], 2014). All women had a low level of education (for the most part no schooling, or schooling through the first grade); Moroccan women were employed full-time or part-time in unskilled jobs, while Pakistani women were homemakers.

• Linguistic Markers of Processing Trauma Experience in Women’s Written Narratives During Different Breast Cancer Phases: Implications for Clinical Interventions by Martino, Maria Luisa; Onorato, Raffaella; Freda, Maria Francesca (2015) - Tools and Procedures Within the greater panorama of expressive writing, we used the expressive writing technique (written emotional disclosure) as the model proposed earlier (Martino, Onorato, D’Oriano, & Freda, 2013; Pennebaker, Facchin, & Margola, 2010), which is used in the context of breast cancer traumatic experiences (Low, Stanton, & Danoff- Burg, 2006; Stanton et al., 2002). In ob- servational terms, we can read an interesting dynamic: a steady increase in the use of negative emotion words in the group receiving chemotherapy (the means were 3.52, 7.72, and 8.09, respectively, for T1, T2, and T3) compared with the biological therapy group, which showed an increasing trend at T2 and decreased again at T3 (5.98, 8.63, and 6.82, respectively, for T1, T2, and T3).

• Parent – Adolescent Communication and Delinquency: A Comparative study in Kolkata, India. by Moitra, Tanusree; Mukherjee, Indrani (2012) - For example, if parent adolescent communication is indifferent or negative, children are likely to encounter greater difficulties when growing up. Studies on parent adolescent communication reported that parental communication has a strong relationship to the well-being of the adolescent (Greenberg, Siegel, & Leitch, 1983), and the lack of closeness with parents (Kandel & Davies, 1982; Parker, Tupling, & Brown, 1979) or a lower level of parental influence (Chrispin, 1998) correlates with a higher degree of behavioral problems in adolescents.

• Freud’s Conceptualization of the Social World: Psychology Recapitulating Sociology or Sociology Recapitulating Psychology? by Stea, Jonathan N. (2012) - For example, I will not touch upon Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (Freud, 1921/1991c), which is concerned with interpersonal (cf., Being In Love and Hypnosis) and micro-group level processes (cf., Two Artificial Groups: The Church and The Army), nor will I discuss Moses and Monotheism (Freud, 1939/1964b), which is primarily concerned with leadership and does not offer anything new with respect to Freud‟s social theory (Wallace, 1977). The paper also embeds the development of Freud‟s social theory within its historical context by discussing the impact of various evolutionary, philosophical, and life event influences.

• The Role of Organisational Innovation in Corporations by Zuecker, Helgo (2006) - For economic organisations the most essential issue is not to follow management fashion trends but to choose for one management style that corresponds to the profile of the enterprise [STEVENS, 2001]. In the beginning of the master-course “Intercultural Management” the following question emerged: What capacities and competencies are needed to open new economic perspectives for CEEC on the long run?

• Moral Dilemma Discussion Revisited – The Konstanz Method by Lind, Georg (2005) - The method of moral dilemma discussion is well-founded in the philosophy of education and in psychological and educational research, and its effects have been thoroughly analyzed in well-designed studies (Higgins, 1980; Leming, 1985; Lockwood, 1978; Lind, 2002). Educative moral dilemmas are not so real that they kill of moral-democratic learning, but real enough that they cause the individual to develop his or her cognitive-affective capacities (Lind, 2003; http://www.uni-konstanz.de/ag-moral/ ). Keywords: development; dilemma; discussion; learning; lind; method
• The Value Structure in Socioeconomically Less Developed European Countries Still Remains an Ellipse by Strack, Micha; Dobewall, Henrik (2012) - The mean importance of growth vs. protection values was not used in the studies of Fontaine et al. (2008) and Bilsky et al. (2011), but both authors discussed the lesser importance of growth values on the cultural level as an explanation for the within countries’ value structure. On the one hand, a lack of socioeconomic development directly relates to lower mean importance of growth values for citizens of such countries (Schwartz & Sagie, 2000; Davidov et al., 2012), and lower country values of intellectual autonomy (Schwartz 2006b, 2011).

• Material Culture: Still ‘Terra Incognita’ for Psychology Today? by Moro, Christiane (2015) - Although over the past decades culture can be said to have re-entered psychology, one can only be puzzled by the fact that material culture did not receive the same attention and has been neglected by both ‘mainstream’ and cultural-historical traditions. In psychology, on-going scientific work is being undertaken to unpack the role of material culture for the developing subject and the way in which it elicits and transforms his/her psychological processes in a dialectical movement of appropriation and transformation of culture through innovation.

• Migration Status, Familial Risk for Mental Disorder, and Schizotypal Personality Traits by van der Stelt, Odin; Boubakri, Dounia; Feltzer, Max (2013) - One factor that has received much scientific interest is migration or ethnic minority status.1Markedly raised incidence rates of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders have been observed in several migrant groups, as compared to “native” nonmigrant groups, in various countries, including the USA (Bresnahan et al., 2007; Cowan, Weber, Fisher, Bedno, & Niebuhr, 2011; Ødegaard, 1932), the United Kingdom (Coid et al., 2008; Fearon et al., 2006), Denmark (Cantor-Graae, Pedersen, McNeil, & Mortensen, 2003), and the Netherlands (Selten et al., 2001; Selten, Laan, Kupka, Smeets, & van Os, 2012; Veling, Selten, Mackenbach, & Hoek, 2007; Veling, Selten, Susser, Laan, Mackenbach, & Hoek, 2007). Therefore, we sought to determine, first, whether Moroccan migrants, who are at increased risk for psychotic disorders, as well as for mood disorders (Selten et al., 2001, 2012; Veling, Selten, Mackenbach, et al., 2007; Veling, Selten, Susser, et al., 2007), would show elevated, more pathological levels of schizotypal traits as compared to a Dutch nonmigrant group.

• Motivational and Ideological Underpinnings of Welfare Preferences in Eastern and Western Europe by Hadarics, Márton (2016) - In this system, there had been little chance for true social solidarity to evolve, because according to the social perception, it was the responsibility solely of the regime to ensure the well-being of the whole society, and social welfare was not perceived as a result of cooperation among different social groups. In our study we investigated the motivational and ideological correlates of the approval of welfare services in postsocialist Central Eastern andWestern Europe.

Alone, ideation is a weak predictor of attempts (Jollant et al., 2011; Marzuk et al., 2005).

• Perception and Expression of Emotional Suffering in Cancer Patients: The Role of Somatic Depressive Symptoms by Binaschi, Luca; Castelli, Lorys; Varetto, Antonella; Leombruni, Paolo; Torta, Riccardo (2013) - The question of somatic symptoms becomes very important for the comorbidity between mood depression and somatic diseases, when physical symptoms demonstrate both somatic and emotional pathogenesis, as is the case with pain and fatigue in oncological patients (Duddu, Isaac, & Chaturvedi, 2003). The relevance of somatic symptoms of mood depression is also related to the question of systemic disease (Torta, 2002): the pathogenesis of a mood disorder is due not only to neurotransmitter imbalance, but also to broader modifications in immune and hormonal systems (such as increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and cortisol).

• Nation States and Cultural Diversity by Enache, Andreea (2005) - Therefore, I had to adjust my schemes of analysis to the very complex objects that I want to deal with in order to sustain the idea that nation states are an obstacle for co-existent cultural diversities. I will insist on this, for I find it crucial for the understanding of the stake of this discourse: nation states have been the most prominent producers of cultural diversity at a time when cultures had very strict, almost material borders, and when they were in the almost absolute possession of the state and nation that had engendered them.

This hypothesis does not remain consequence-less: it ultimately says that social identity is built on the reality of common traits, attitudes, behaviors or beliefs.

• The Rise of Ethics Fundamentalism in the UK: A Warning to Europe by Barry, John (2006) - This opinion has been reinforced by the recent review of UK RECs which has advised that they should not judge the scientific merit of research proposals; this should be left to experts in the field of research being proposed (Department of Health, 2005).

• Psychology in the Post-Truth Era by Glăveanu, Vlad Petre (2017) - This is all the more important in relation to social media and in view of the kind of informational literacy that should be developed in new (and old) generations of users. Given the particular challenges associated with living and working in an age of ‘post-truth politics’, we have been and continue to welcome manuscripts – including the proposal of special editions – that address pressing societal issues such as current uses of social media, inequality and social justice, migration and multiculturalism, terrorism, democracy and democratic values, protest and civic participation, climate change and environmental concerns, political behaviour and the psychology of human rights, among others.

• Applying decision making theory to clinical judgements in violence risk assessment by Murray, Jennifer; Thomson, Mary E. (2010) - This ‘illusion of validity’ is highly applicable to violence risk assessment: as clinicians involved in violence risk assessment are often required to predict the likelihood of an offender committing future crimes, the clinician’s confidence in his or her own decisions must be reasonably high, for both moral and ethical reasons. 150-171 www.ejop.org Applying decision making theory to clinical judgements in violence risk assessment Jennifer Murray Glasgow Caledonian University Dr. Mary E.

• Massive modularity? The relationship between context-relevance, information encapsulation and functional specialization by Varvatsoulias, George (2010) - Social contract versions of this task explain that human mind includes inferential functions at detecting cheaters (Stone et al., 2002); a social contract version of this task could be: If you mow the lawn I will pay you a fiver (Eysenck & Keane, 2003). This is because human mind recognizes the reciprocal nature of social exchange by possessing specialized reasoning dedicated to the detection of cheaters (Trivers, 1971; Cosmides, 1985).

• Improving Temporal Consistency of Preferences: The Influence of Mental Construal by Aydin, Asli Elif (2018) - In accordance with that Van Kerckhove et al. (2015) proposed that looking down to process proximal stimuli, which is connected with low construal levels, creates more consistent preferences than looking up to process distant stimuli, which is connected with high construal levels.

• Anger as a moderator of the relationships between attachment, dyadic adjustment, and childhood victimization in physically violent spouses by Bélanger, Claude; Brisebois, Hélène (2010) - As noted in the results section, a number of variables found to be correlated with husband violence in previous work did not show a direct link in our analyses, especially in the case of physical violence (for instance, childhood witnessing of violence). Follow-up regression analyses conducted to examine individual interaction terms, presented in Table 5, showed that anger repression interacts significantly with a number of variables to predict husband physical violence.

• New Mobilities and Psychology: Why are We Still Not on the Move? by Glăveanu, Vlad (2020) - Yet, in fact, the scope for cross-fertilisation is much wider, considering a more detailed description of new mobilities themes: • “the corporeal travel of people for work, leisure, family life, pleasure, migration and escape, organised in terms of contrasting time-space patterns ranging from daily commuting to once-in-a-lifetime exile; • the physical movement of objects include food and water to producers, consumers and retailers; as well as the sending and receiving of presents and souvenirs; • the imaginative travel effected through the images of places and peoples appearing on and moving across multiple print and visual media and which then construct and reconstruct visions of place, travel and consumption; • virtual travel often in real time transcending geographical and social distance and forming and reforming multiple communities at-a-distance; • communicative travel through person-to-person messages via personal messages, postcards, texts, letters, telegraph, telephone, fax and mobile” (Urry, 2011, pp. 4-5).

• The Case of Neuman’s “Computational Cultural Psychology”: An Innovative Theoretical Proposal and Welcomed Toolbox Advancements by De Luca Picione, Raffaele (2014) - Unlike the general idea of “computational social science”, computational cultural psychology focuses on the way the humanmind is mediated through sign systems, and the way this mediation may be studied through computational tools and new data repositories. Neuman warns more than once that human interpretation is irreplaceable, so computational cultural psychology is a rigorous, meticulous attempt to introduce powerful tools into a systematic analysis interpreting and understanding meaning-making processes.

Finally, it is important to determine whether psychological meanings ascribed to ED symptoms predict treatment evolution and outcome because differential treatment responses might be expected depending on specific meanings attributed to ED.

• Chôra: Creation and Pathology. An Inquiry into the Origins of Illness and Human Response by Isar, Nicoletta (2009) - But chôra was both the paradigm of creation, and the space of human creation itself, because she was both embedded within the confines of the cosmos, as well as of the human body.

• Emotional and instrumental aggressiveness and body weight loss by Paradis, Sébastien; Ramirez, J. Martin; Cabanac, Michel (2007) - This lower influence of body weight loss on the aggressive acts of stronger intensity may be explained by its relation to strong moral beliefs, unlikely to be influenced by the mood (Ramirez, 1993). Thus, being more mood-related, hostile aggressiveness is likely to be more sensitive to the effect on mood of physiological changes, such as body weight loss.

• Psychotherapy of ultra-orthodox Jews in Israel – A qualitative assessment of conflicts and reconciliations by Hess, Esther; Pitariu, Horia (2011) - Ultra-orthodox religious education in general educates to restraint in all spheres of life. But the oddity of this self-observable fact – that the conscience may have twists and powers that seem inexplicable in terms of conscious awareness and recall of early life – also occurs frequently in people from non-religious backgrounds”. Spero (1981), Case (1997), and Sieve (1999) have written about counter- transference with religious subjects; Marx and Spray (1972), Weisbord (1982,) Houts & Graham (1986), and Giglio (1993) have written about the effect of differences in religious perceptions between therapists and subjects; and Erlanger (1988), Cohen (1994), Greenberg (2001), Irvine (2003) and Novis Deutch (2010) have written about Psychotherapy of ultra-orthodox Jews in Israel 504 the way in which religious therapists handle the conflict of values between the religious and the professional worlds.

• Metacognitive Therapy. The CBT Distinctive Features Series by Popescu, Beatrice (2009) - In MCT, detached mindfulness refers to how individuals respond to mental events: worries, intrusive images, negative thoughts and memories, it involves discontinuation of any further cognitive or coping response to thoughts.

• Interview with Yvonne Bates by Popescu, Beatrice; Enache, Andreea (2005) - Clients who have been brave enough to put such concerns in books and articles, or in media discussions, tend to have been met with very defensive attitudes by therapy writers and representatives of professional bodies. In recent years, I must say I have been most influenced by client writers such as Anna Sands, Rosie Alexander, Marie Hellewell and Natalie Simpson, who have raised such brave and powerful critiques of therapy and really forced me to re-evaluate everything I took for granted about the intrinsic goodness of the endeavour.

• Cultural Psychology: A Once and Future Discipline by Glăveanu, Vlad (2007) - Cole’s original approach has led him to challenge at least three “false” contradictions in cultural psychology: material vs. ideal, genetic evolution vs. cultural evolution and modularity vs. context. In order to fully appreciate his new standpoint, Cole describes (Chapters 1 and 2) the vast array of contradictory positions that seemed intrinsic to the understanding of cultural psychology: culture is generally recognized as important but almost ignored in empirical research, cross-cultural studies are performed but their methodology is contested, experimentation is the favourite method of science but its application to cultural psychology is doubtful, knowledge is universal (Platon) but culturally embedded (Herodotus).

Book Review of “The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition” by de Saint-Laurent, Constance (2015) - Is it possible, then, that great apes simply do not want to collaborate with the experimenter yet would be able to do so? Tomasello’s final assumption is that the necessary and only condition for the apparition of cultural evolution is the emergence of theory of mind, as they both depend on socialisation. In 1999, Michael To- masello presented in his book ‘The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition’ more than ten years of research he did on the subject, comparing young children’s cognition and the abilities of great apes.

• The Degree of Uncertainty Avoidance Present in Croatian and American Undergraduate Students; a Comparative Analysis by Matic, Jennifer L. (2006) - The logic here is that, in high uncertainty avoidance cultures, individuals will NOT believe that the rules should ever be broken; conversely, in low uncertainty avoidance cultures, individuals will believe that, given the right situation, it is acceptable for employees to break the rules. Again, we see that high uncertainty avoidance cultures will value the stability of the job, and will tend to avoid the uncertainty involved in changing jobs.
