ObjectiveTheories about within‐person (WP) variation are often tested using between‐person (BP) research, despite the well‐established fact that results may not generalize across levels of analysis. One possible explanation is vague theories that do not specify which level of analysis is of interest. We illustrate such a case using the construct of self‐compassion.

Does believing that “effort doesn't pay” in society shape how people view dishonest‐illegal transgressions? Across five studies, we show that when people view societal success as non‐meritocratic—that is, more dependent on luck and circumstances than on hard work—they are more lenient in their moral judgements of dishonest‐illegal transgressions. Perceiving society as non‐meritocratic predicted greater

Acting impulsively when “upset”: Examining associations among negative urgency, undifferentiated negative affect, and impulsivity using momentary and experimental methods Journal of Personality (IF 5.429) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Sarah E. Racine, Ege Bicaker, Vittoria Trolio, Sean P. Lane
IntroductionNegative urgency is a personality pathway toward impulsive behavior that increases risk for transdiagnostic psychopathology. Limited research supports the core tenant of urgency theory, that is, that individuals with high trait negative urgency act more impulsive when experiencing increased negative emotion. We hypothesized that it may not be negative emotion intensity, but difficulty in

Exploring the origins of identity fusion: Shared emotional experience activates fusion with the group over time British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 6.92) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Jon Zabala, Alexandra Vázquez, Susana Conejero, Aitziber Pascual
Identity fusion is a visceral feeling of oneness with a group, known to strongly motivate extreme pro‐group behaviour. However, the evidence on its causes is currently limited, primarily due to the prevalence of cross‐sectional research. To address this gap, this study analysed the evolution of fusion in response to a massive collective ritual, Korrika—a race in support of the Basque language—, over

The genetic underpinnings of right‐wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation explain political attitudes beyond Big Five personality Journal of Personality (IF 5.429) Pub Date : 2024-02-22 Thomas Haarklau Kleppesto, Nikolai Olavi Czajkowski, Jennifer Sheehy‐Skeffington, Olav Vassend, Espen Roysamb, Nikolai Haahjem Eftedal, Jonas R. Kunst, Eivind Ystrom, Lotte Thomsen
ObjectivePolitical attitudes are predicted by the key ideological variables of right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO), as well as some of the Big Five personality traits. Past research indicates that personality and ideological traits are correlated for genetic reasons. A question that has yet to be tested concerns whether the genetic variation underlying the ideological
