In Study 2, N = 451 lesbians read about EPSS directed at lesbians, enacted verbal stigma (EVS) directed at lesbians, or a control text. State anxiety and state depression were assessed in both studies. In Study 3, the control text was tested for neutrality in a sample with diverse sexual orientations. In Studies 1 and 2, state depression in gay men and lesbians and state anxiety in gay men were significantly higher after reading about EPSS compared to the control condition, with small to moderate effect sizes. No associations were found between EVS and state symptoms. Study 3 found lower state anxiety after reading the control text, with a small effect size. It can be concluded that reading about EPSS directed at sexual minority individuals was associated with state depression. Future studies should replicate these findings and examine how long associations persist.

Therefore, we conducted a three-wave longitudinal study over 18 months among a sample of Chinese adolescents. Guided by the bioecological model of human development, the internal working model, and the broaden-and-build theory, we tested a serial mediation model of gratitude and life satisfaction in the parenting-grit link. A total of 660 adolescents (aged 11–15 years, mean age = 12.56 years, 46.51% girls) from Southern China responded to the paper-and-pencil questionnaire. Results supported the hypothesised serial mediating effect. That is, adolescents with positive parenting (indicated as more parental care, encouraging autonomy, and less control) tended to report higher levels of gratitude, which further promoted greater life satisfaction, and subsequently strengthened their grit levels. These findings highlight the role of gratitude and life satisfaction as joint mediating factors in the relationship between positive parenting and grit. Interventions focused on improving adolescents' grit that incorporate positive parenting practices could benefit from the approaches targeting parents' need-supportive behaviour and adolescents' psychological well-being.","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ijop.70074","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Music perception has been linked to emotion processing. Collective music making has been found to rely on responding to and sharing the emotions of others. Together, these notions suggest musicians may have more empathy, which constitutes the ability to experience and understand others' emotions. In the present study, we asked 25 professional musicians and 23 non-musicians to complete the Empathy Quotient (EQ), a self-report questionnaire of affective and cognitive empathy, and a performance measure of empathic accuracy (EA) that involved watching and listening to video clips of targets narrating emotional autobiographical events. EA was derived per participant per clip by correlating their ratings of how targets felt while talking with previously collected target ratings. While musicians scored higher on both EQ subscales, they did not differ significantly from non-musicians in EA, obtained using rich stimuli involving both auditory and visual information. Hence, while musicians rated themselves to be more empathetic, we found no objective evidence of a musician benefit in empathy. It remains possible that this may show in less information-rich or more music-based situations. Alternatively, factors other than musical training alone may play a role.","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ijop.70072","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hazardous environments in which resources are unreliable should prompt adoption of a “fast” life-history strategy in which short-term gains are favoured. The COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to examine whether an increase in existential threat as signalled by a shift in environmental status impacted people's decision making in LHT-relevant domains. In this online psychometric study (N = 274 individuals), we examined whether concerns about COVID-19 mediated the relationship between life-history strategy and the desire to have or have more children, and stockpiling food and household groceries. Contrasting results emerged. COVID-19 concern mediated the relationship between LHS and stockpiling food and household groceries but not LHS and reproduction. These findings highlight potential differences in decision consequences or the type of shift in environmental conditions needed to prompt particular responses.","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ijop.70082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, pretested resilience was not a significant predictor of posttested MIL. Study 2 involved a randomised controlled intervention with 131 adults using the meaning photography method. The photo-writing and photo-taking groups showed a significant increase in overall MIL after the 7-day intervention, which also has an interventional effect on resilience.

Moreover, the photo-writing group's total scores for MIL and resilience were significantly higher than those of the control group in the posttest. Meanwhile, the meaning experience posttest scores of the photo-taking group are significantly higher than the pretest; however, no significant difference was observed in the pre-and posttest scores for meaning-seeking in these three groups.

Both personality traits have been linked to deficits of frontal lobe executive self-regulation. The present study proposed that frontal dysfunction underlies the links of alexithymia and reward sensitivity with IA symptoms, while also assessing negative mood as another potential mediator. An online sample of 310 internet users aged 18–65 years completed measures of alexithymia, reward sensitivity, negative mood, and IA symptoms. The Frontal Systems Behaviour Scale (FrSBe) assessed signs of frontal dysfunction. Hierarchical regression controlling for demographic variables accounted for 52% of variance in IA symptoms; reward sensitivity, negative mood, and executive dysfunction were highly significant in the final model. Path analysis indicated that associations of alexithymia and reward sensitivity with IA symptoms were mediated by the FrSBe Executive Dysfunction subscale and negative mood.

A key factor in addressing this challenge is the level of acceptance in society of a multicultural ideology. An instrument to measure this concept has recently been revised into the Revised Multicultural Ideology Scale (MCI-r). Despite the urgency of adopting this broader ideology in Italy, no adaptation of the current scale has been made in the Italian context. To bridge this gap, our studies aim to adapt the MCI-r scale to the Italian context and assess its predictive validity on variables crucial for positive intergroup relations. We collected data from two distinct samples: one from Prolific (N = 301) and another from Sapienza University (N = 204). Using confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance, and convergent and discriminant validity analyses, we investigated the psychometric properties of the scale based on its recent validations in other societies. Furthermore, we tested its predictive validity concerning the quality of contact with migrants and political orientation. Our findings supported a four-factor solution and a higher-order dimension. Additionally, results supported the predictive validity of MCI-r and the superordinate dimension on positive contact with migrants and political orientations.","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ijop.70073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mean differences measured using multiple assessments displayed a similar pattern to cross-sectional differences with slightly diminished magnitudes.
