At the within-person level, higher daily boredom was related to lower daily life satisfaction. Moreover, daily meaning in life significantly mediated this within-person association, such that greater daily boredom predicted lower daily meaning in life, which in turn predicted lower daily life satisfaction.

Its prevalence and social acceptance exhibit substantial variation across cultural contexts. Cultural belief systems, such as honor culture and ambivalent sexism, have been identified as significant factors shaping gender roles and attitudes toward violence in intimate relationships. However, the intersection of honor culture, ambivalent sexism, and IPV victimization remains underexplored in cross-cultural research. The current study examines country and gender differences in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) victimization, honor culture, and ambivalent sexism through a cross-cultural comparison of Italian and Turkish university students. A battery of self-report measures was administered to 1249 Italian and Turkish university students aged 18-25 (55.7% female, 44.3% male). A 2 × 2 MANOVA was conducted to assess the effects of gender and country on IPV victimization, honor concerns, and ambivalent sexism. Results showed no significant main effect of gender on IPV victimization. However, a significant main effect of culture emerged: univariate analyzes revealed that Turkish students reported higher levels of IPV victimization compared to their Italian peers (p < 0.001). Significant gender and country differences were also found in honor concerns, with a gender × culture interaction indicating that patterns of honor endorsement varied across countries. Moreover, Turkish males and females reported higher levels of both benevolent and hostile sexism compared to their Italian counterparts. These findings underscore the relevance of both gender and cultural context on experiences and attitudes related to IPV, honor, and sexism. The results support and extend previous research, highlighting the importance of incorporating cultural variables when addressing intimate partner violence.

Using original survey data from 1293 Swedish citizens analyzed with structural equation modeling, we examined whether anti-vaccination attitudes accounted for associations between contrarian worldviews (e.g., conspiracy mentality, climate change denial), political orientations (e.g., right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation), psychological dispositions (e.g., need for cognitive closure, need to belong), and demographic factors with COVID-19 vaccination refusal in Sweden. Contrarian worldviews were strongly associated with higher anti-vaccination attitudes, which were in turn associated with higher likelihood of vaccination refusal. Political orientation variables contributed little unique explanatory value beyond contrarian worldviews. A small indirect effect emerged for social dominance orientation, though all direct associations between political orientation and vaccination outcomes were nonsignificant. Psychological dispositions demonstrated differentiated patterns, with need for cognitive closure and need to belong showing direct associations with vaccination refusal, and anxiety positively associated with anti-vaccination attitudes.

Understanding their behavior, particularly their defending behaviors, is crucial to mitigate the phenomenon and its negative effects. While prior studies have explored factors influencing these responses, further research is needed to understand how these factors interact within robust theoretical frameworks. To address this gap, this study examined adolescents' defending behaviors to cyberhate through three psychological theories: (1) the Theory of Normative Social Behavior (TNSB; social norms); (2) Social Learning Theory (SLT; social norms, self-efficacy, prior victimization and perpetration experiences, and motivators such as the need for online popularity); and (3) the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; attitude towards helping, perceived control, subjective norms and intention to help). A total of 2539 Spanish secondary school students (49.1% boys, 49.2% girls, and 1.7% others) aged 11-18 years (M = 14.07, SD = 1.39) participated filling a self-reported survey. Three structural equation models were estimated to test the specific variables of each theoretical framework while controlling for gender and age. Results revealed that all three models significantly explained defensive behaviors. Across the models, explained variance reached up to 50.8%. The most relevant factors were subjective norms, injunctive norms from friends, family, and teachers, and perceived self-efficacy. Girls and younger students were more likely to react defensively. This study represents a clear advance in the understanding of defensive behavior in the face of cyberhate, both in a theoretical and practical framework and thus contributes to optimizing the holistic approach to this emerging phenomenon in virtual contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":21435,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148685762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, theoretical and empirical studies on intensity, particularly in the vocal domain, remain limited. Furthermore, research on the effects of emotional dimensions (e.g., arousal, valence, and basicness) on intensity ratings remains sparse. This study investigates cross-cultural intensity ratings using the Demo (Dutch) and Koremo (Korean) corpora, each based on eight actors vocalizing eight emotions by pronouncing a pseudo-sentence. Both corpora were rated on intensity by Dutch and Korean listeners. The first goal is to examine the presence of in-group bias in intensity ratings across all responses and correct responses. The second goal is to assess the relative contributions of arousal, valence, and basicness to intensity ratings across all responses and correct responses. To achieve these goals, we conducted an intensity-rating experiment in which all participants rated the intensity of each emotion they perceived on a 4-point scale (1 = low intensity; 4 = high intensity). Participants consisted of 31 native Dutch listeners and 24 native Korean listeners, none of whom had prior knowledge of the other group's culture or language. Our results corroborate earlier findings and shed new light on intensity ratings of vocal emotions. First, contrary to previous findings, we did not find an in-group bias in intensity ratings, such that neither listener group gave higher ratings to emotions produced in their native language than in the unknown language. Second, intensity ratings were higher for high-arousal than for low-arousal emotions, for negative than for positive emotions, and for basic than for non-basic emotions. Notably, intensity ratings are more strongly correlated with arousal and basicness than valence, supporting earlier findings that high-arousal emotions are characterized by increased intensity. Despite the significant effects of arousal, valence, and basicness on intensity ratings, these dimensions do not yield a successful dichotomy of emotions in terms of intensity, since some emotions violate the general patterns of intensity ratings based on these three dimensions. Additionally, intensity ratings were higher for correct than incorrect responses. Together, these findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of intensity in vocal emotion across cultures. Instead of an in-group bias, listeners tended to rate specific emotions as more intense, even when expressed in a non-native language. Although intensity ratings were affected by arousal, valence, and basicness, none of these dimensions provided a strict dichotomy of the eight emotions in intensity, since intensity ratings for certain emotions cannot be reliably predicted from the general patterns.

We focus on conspiracy, paranormal, pseudoscientific, religious, and pseudo-profound (\"bullshit\") beliefs and examine whether their covariance structure is best captured by a common factor plus residual domain-specific factors. Using a nationally representative Russian sample (N = 1268), we modeled the five belief domains with competing confirmatory factor analysis models. We compared one-factor, correlated factors, higher order, and bifactor specifications, with the bifactor model prespecified as the focal test of the dimensionality hypothesis. We then related the general and domain-specific factors to cognitive and motivational antecedents. A prespecified bifactor solution, in which a general factor explained about half of the common variance while specific factors captured residual domain structure, provided the best fit. Conventional domain scores may systematically confound the general liability with domain-specific variance, potentially distorting cross-domain comparisons and inferences about domain-specific antecedents. Some cognitive and motivational antecedents emerged as central correlates of the general factor, whereas conspiracy, religious, pseudoscientific, paranormal, and pseudo-profound beliefs each showed distinct additional profiles. The findings support a dimensional view of epistemically unfounded beliefs anchored in a common cognitive-motivational architecture. We discuss the general factor as potentially reflecting an evolved predisposition favoring Type I errors (the \"smoke detector principle\") and archaic magical thinking, plausibly implemented at the proximate level in low-dimensional psychological \"conceptual spaces\" that align heterogeneous beliefs along a shared axis of receptivity to epistemically unfounded claims.
