The primary aim of our study was to examine the role of COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs in predicting outcomes that could potentially worsen the course of the pandemic: preventive behavior, vaccination intentions and willingness to share COVID-19 related opinions. Structural equation modeling was performed on a Slovenian sample (N = 490). Analysis showed that COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs predicted all three health-related outcomes when sociodemographic variables were controlled for. Further, a perceived coronavirus threat was identified as an important mediating factor between conspiracy beliefs, preventive behavior and vaccination intentions. Conspiracy beliefs were also positively associated with age, female gender, religiosity, and share of COVID-19 information from social media, while they were negatively associated with level of education. The results suggest that COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs may be an important barrier to achieving pandemic management goals and highlight some risk factors for their occurrence.

The present study corroborates the role of personality in predicting adherence to containment measures in the Visegrád Four countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) with a total sample of N = 7463 participants. The Big-five traits predicted compliance both directly and indirectly, via concerns over coronavirus and trust in organizations. Openness, Conscientiousness, and Extraversion predicted compliance positively, while Neuroticism and Agreeableness negatively. Furthermore, the effect was mediated by corona concerns. Although Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Conscientiousness predicted compliance negatively, the mediating role of trust was corroborated only for Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism and the effect size was smaller. The implications are that personality could be considered an important factor in compliant behavior even in an "extreme" situation such as a pandemic, and that this effect is also indirect via concerns over coronavirus and trust in institutions (although to a much lesser degree). The findings might help practitioners tailor effective messages in times of pandemic.

The purpose of this paper is to present a new model of social inhibition (a) conceptualised as a dual structured construct including shyness and modesty, and (b) showing the complexity and diversity of these two social inhibition forms across various domains of psychosocial functioning (i.e., self-image, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural). Locating these two forms of social inhibition within the space of the Circumplex of Personality Metatraits enabled us to identify conceptually adjacent constructs to social inhibition and put the latter into a broad personality context. Through supplementary meta-analyses of the relations of shyness and modesty with the Big Five personality traits, we confront our theoretical proposition with existing empirical findings. Our paper implies that social inhibition might be successfully treated as a psychosocial disposition with two related and shared core elements, but distinct and differentially targeted forms—more neurotic and dysfunctional shyness and more agreeable and adaptive modesty.

Zaburzenie osobowości z pogranicza (borderline) jest jednym z najbardziej rozpowszechnionych zaburzeń, a jednocześnie dość problematycznym w diagnozie, na co wskazywały kolejne edycje DSM i ICD. Od dawna wykazywano heterogeniczność osobowości borderline. Zasadniczo pokazywano ją przy pomocy dwóch uzupełniających się podejść: (1) skoncentrowanego na zmiennych, gdzie wyodrębniano czynniki oraz (2) skoncentrowanego na osobach, w którym identyfikowano typy jako konfiguracje zmiennych. W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowany jest przegląd literatury na temat zróżnicowania osobowości borderline w obu podejściach. Zidentyfikowanych zostało 37 modeli borderline, w tym 12, w których stosowano podejście skoncentrowane na zmiennych i 25 – podejście skoncentrowane na osobach. W modelach tych wyodrębnione zostały pojedyncze jednostki znaczeniowe, którymi autorzy posługiwali się do opisu osobowości borderline. Łącznie wyróżniono 59 takich jednostek, które następnie zostały połączone w 11 grup spójnych znaczeniowo.

Powstanie zespołów mobilnych wiąże się z reformą psychiatrycznej opieki zdrowotnej i zmianie modelu leczenia z udzielania opieki w dużych szpitalach psychiatrycznych na rzecz działań realizowanych na poziomie społeczności lokalnej. Zespoły mobilne uzupełniają model podstawowy o usługi docierające do osób, które bez ich wsparcia mogłyby nie uzyskać pomocy, przez co są bardzo istotnym i innowacyjnym elementem środowiskowego modelu opieki psychiatrycznej, pełniącym wiodącą rolę w procesie zdrowienia osób z doświadczeniem kryzysu psychicznego. Głównym celem działalności zespołów mobilnych jest mobilizowanie osób z doświadczeniem kryzysu psychicznego do rozwiązywania swoich problemów w sytuacjach, w których jest to możliwe i osiągalne. W artykule przedstawiono kontekst historyczno-kulturowy wraz z rolą zespołów mobilnych w opiece psychiatrycznej. Przedstawiono korzyści płynące z udzielenia pomocy bezpośrednio w środowisku klienta oraz scharakteryzowano zadania zespołów mobilnych oraz ich współpracę z otoczeniem społecznym i asystentami zdrowienia.

This research’s primary purpose was to explore the prevalence of the impostor syndrome and its associated factors among 130 Romanian psychology students (M = 21.77 years, SD = 3.51, 84.6% females). Our results indicate that 56.15% of the study participants experienced high and intense impostor syndrome aspects. More specifically, students who perceived themselves as impostors presented high levels of psychological distress and procrastination. We also explored the link between moral identity and the impostor syndrome and found that students who experienced the syndrome ascribe higher importance to moral values than non-impostors. We tested a prediction model for the impostor syndrome, using depression, anxiety, procrastination, moral self, moral integrity, and several demographic variables as predictors (i.e., age, gender, study year, and living area). Our prediction model explained 33.9% of the impostor syndrome’s variance. Finally, we tested two moderation models concerning the relationship between the impostor syndrome, procrastination, anxiety, and depression. The results suggest that the relationship between procrastination and anxiety was moderated by impostor syndrome. We discuss the importance of these findings in designing effective intervention strategies to fight students’ impostor syndrome.

The study deals with the psychometric characteristics of the Czech versions of Academic and Social Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC) questionnaires. Self-report data were collected in a sample of 618 university students aged between 19 and 30 years. McDonald’s omega coefficient was used for reliability estimation; construct validity was tested by confirmatory factor analysis and principal component analysis. Criterion validity was tested in a series of regression analyses. The instruments showed adequate reliability, ranging from 0.73 to 0.84 for Academic SOC and from 0.70 to 0.79 for Social SOC scales. Confirmatory factor analysis did not corroborate the original model proposed by Geldhof et al. (2012), except for the Loss-Based Selection factor. Post-hoc exploratory principal component analysis further supported these results. It turned out that the items were clustered according to different criteria compared to the original dimensions. Our results are in line with more recent findings, pointing to differences in the structure and employment of SOC strategies in young and older adults. We recommend that the Academic and Social SOC are revised in accordance with these recent findings and other methodological considerations.

We investigated the relation between emotional reactivity measured by Perth Emotional Reactivity Scale – Short Form (PERS-S) and trust in fictitious news stories on crime. In Study 1 we found on a sample of 508 older adults (M = 70.6 years) that their general positive and negative emotional reactivity was associated with trust in the presented misinformation, experienced negative emotions elicited by the news stories and willingness to share the news. For young adults in Study 2 (N = 186; M = 21.7) there was a weaker association between emotional reactivity and trust in misinformation, which involved only negative emotional reactivity. For both samples, trust in fictitious news stories was associated with trust in traditional and new media. There was no association between trust in fictitious news stories and the amount of news consumption and Internet use. Based on our findings, the focus on emotion control and critical reading seems to be important in the fight against misinformation.
