We conducted three studies examining the reliability, factor structure, and validity of Multidimensional Dispositional Greed Assessment (MDGA) scores with samples of undergraduate college students. The MDGA is an instrument developed to measure adults’ levels of dispositional greed. In study 1 (test-retest reliability; N = 150), we assessed the stability of MDGA scores over time. In study 2, we examined the stability and factor structure of the 20-item MDGA (confirmatory factor analysis; N = 2,178), and measurement invariance across demographic groups (multiple group confirmatory factor analysis) among a sample of undergraduate college students in the United States. In study 3 (multiple linear regression; N = 486), we investigated evidence of concurrent validity through measuring the relationship between MDGA and Dispositional Greed Scale scores. Through these studies, we identified evidence for good test–retest reliability for MDGA total and subscale scores. The results also provided evidence for measurement invariance of MDGA items across gender and race/ethnicity groups. Lastly, we found evidence for concurrent validity of MDGA through identifying large positive predictive relationship between MDGA and DGS total scores, while there was a weaker positive correlation with the MDGA’s more unique factor, retention motivation. We provide an overview of the implications of this study, and suggest potential areas of future research.

Having limited access to effective emotion regulation (ER) strategies, a construct commonly measured using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004), has been found to be strongly linked with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). However, the mechanisms that explain this association need more in-depth exploration. In this study, we investigated whether a cognitive mechanism (low self-perceived resilience) and/or a behavioral mechanism (insufficient repertoire of strategies used to resist NSSI) explained the association between limited access to ER strategies and the likelihood of recent (past-month) NSSI. Research questions were explored in a sample of 922 university students with a lifetime NSSI history (83.3% female). Study variables were measured using self-report questionnaires. Controlling for anxiety/depression, a path analytic model revealed that only low self-perceived resilience mediated the association between limited access to ER strategies and past-month NSSI. Participants who endorsed having limited access to ER strategies unexpectedly reported a higher number of coping strategies to resist NSSI. The results support the relevance of exploring resiliency beliefs in the association between ER capability and NSSI.

This study applied the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT) to Korean artists and explored whether job insecurity and economic constraints sequentially predicted decent work and how they were related to decent work through the mediators of living a calling and career adaptability. A sample of 252 artists in Korea was used for structural equation modeling. According to the findings, job insecurity and economic constraints predicted decent work, whereas living a calling and career adaptability were sequentially mediated in the path of job insecurity, leading to decent work. Additionally, they revealed that job insecurity and economic constraints significantly impacted decent work and living a calling and career adaptability can be considered protective factors in the career development process of Korean artists. Considering that COVID-19 has made it more difficult for artists to develop their careers, conducting research that applies the PWT to artists can have practical implications at the counseling psychology and policy levels.

New artificial intelligence (AI) powered technologies such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT model, intelligent decision support systems, and autonomous robots are transforming decision making leading to the increased prevalence of decision intelligence in organizations. This paper explores the relationship between decision intelligence, job characteristics, meaningful work, and employees’ intentions to leave the organization or turnover intentions. The research model is based on robust theoretical foundations and was tested with data collected from a survey on Prolific. The study utilizes PLS SEM (partial least squares structural equation modeling) method to test the hypotheses. Three categories of model fit indices are used to assess the final model. The results interpreted from direct effects revealed a positive relationship between decision intelligence and intention to leave. Nevertheless, the mediation analysis within the path model demonstrated that this relationship transformed into a negative one when mediated by job characteristics and meaningful work. In its conclusion, the paper discusses research findings, addresses limitations, and underscores contributions, thus paving the path for integrating decision intelligence into academic literature and industry practices.

The objectives of this study were to (1) demonstrate differences in the most common measures of interoceptive attention based on correlations with theoretically relevant emotional constructs, and (2) explore the interoceptive mechanisms contributing to health anxiety. Participants were 327 adults from the general population who completed a series of questionnaires on an online survey tool called Qualtrics. Associations among variables were ana-lyzed using simple correlations and a hierarchical multiple regression. The two most common measures of interoceptive attention were statistically unrelated to each other and had opposite patterns of relationships with measures of worry, health anxiety, and alexithymia. Results from a regression analysis suggest that an interoceptive profile of “high interoceptive attention” and “low interoceptive accuracy” is most predictive of health anxiety. Results suggest that there are “adaptive” and “maladaptive” forms of interoceptive attention that are captured by different measures of interoceptive attention. Researchers should choose measures of interoceptive attention carefully based on their own unique research needs. Findings about the interoceptive correlates of health anxiety may have implications for treatment of illness anxiety disorder.

Understanding and accepting others who are racially and ethnically different from oneself (i.e. ethnocultural empathy) facilitates connectedness. Although levels of ethnocultural empathy differ across racial and ethnic groups, whether the interpersonal meaning of ethnocultural empathy also differs is less clear. One way of examining this is by using the interpersonal circumplex (IPC), which locates the interpersonal valence of psychological constructs across interpersonal space defined in terms of warmth and dominance. In this study we examined how ethnocultural empathy projected across the IPC both in general and for different racial and ethnic groups in a sample of U.S. residents (N = 443) using a bootstrapped structural summary method. Results suggest that ethnocultural empathy generally represents interpersonal warmth across people of all racial groups; however, for the Native American group, ethnocultural empathy also includes an element of interpersonal dominance. Further, ethnocultural empathy has a comparatively less warm project for people who identify as Latiné. These findings clarify the interpersonal nature of ethnocultural empathy and have implications for how people connect respectfully despite their differences.

Despite the advances in studies conducted among healthcare professionals to explore the impact of the pandemic on their mental health, a large population still continues to display COVID-19 related psychological complaints. There has been recent awareness of moral injury related guilt and shame among doctors and nurses. However, the factors associated with moral injury have not received much attention, due to which the issue still persists. This study aims to explore the role of guilt-shame proneness, and locus of control in predicting moral injury among healthcare professionals. MISS-HP, PGI Locus of Control, and GASP scales were administered to a sample of 806 healthcare professionals. Pearson correlation coefficient indicated a significant positive relationship between moral injury and guilt-shame proneness, as well as the locus of control. Regression analysis indicated a significant role of guilt-shame proneness and locus of control in predicting moral injury. In conclusion, while studying moral injury, it becomes equally important to consider these factors to understand the concept better.

Child vulnerability has been a very serious problem in Africa, including Ethiopia, despite rich stock of social capital resources and efforts from child-affiliated institutions to handle the problem. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of social capital variables and institutional support on vulnerable children’s emotional and behavioral adjustment (E/BA) in Ethiopia. A correlational research design was employed to investigate the relationships among variables. A total of 250 vulnerable children were randomly selected and filled adapted scales/questionnaires of the study. Independent t-test, correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression were utilized to analyze the collected data through SPSS version 20. The findings show that social capital variables and institutional support have significant negative association with vulnerable children’s E/BA. All the variables jointly explained 31.7% of the variances of E/BA, where institutional support and peer social capital were significant unique contributors. These results suggest that children with high perceived social capital resources and institutional support reported lower emotional and behavioral problems, which led to better adjustment. Finally, children’s demographic variables have insignificant correlation and predictive roles on vulnerable children’s E/BA. Social capital variables and institutional support show significant negative association with, and predict a significant proportion of emotional and behavioral adjustment problems of vulnerable children. The result suggests that any child protection practices for vulnerable children need to consider these social capital resources and strengthen them through appropriate interventions in order to improve the wellbeing of such children and ensure the sustainability of their care.
在非洲，包括埃塞俄比亚，儿童易受伤害一直是一个非常严重的问题，尽管社会资本资源丰富，儿童附属机构也在努力处理这一问题。因此，本研究旨在探讨社会资本变量和制度支持在埃塞俄比亚弱势儿童情绪和行为适应(E/BA)中的作用。采用相关研究设计探讨变量间的关系。随机抽取250名弱势儿童填写本研究的相应量表/问卷。采用独立t检验、相关检验、分层多元回归等方法，通过SPSS version 20对收集到的数据进行分析。研究发现，社会资本变量和制度支持与弱势儿童的E/BA呈显著负相关。所有变量共同解释了E/BA的31.7%的方差，其中制度支持和同伴社会资本是显著的独特贡献者。这些结果表明，高社会资本资源感知和制度支持的儿童情绪和行为问题较低，适应能力较强。最后，儿童人口统计变量对易感儿童E/BA的相关和预测作用不显著。社会资本变量和制度支持与弱势儿童情绪和行为适应问题呈显著负相关，并能显著预测弱势儿童的情绪和行为适应问题。结果表明，任何针对弱势儿童的儿童保护实践都需要考虑这些社会资本资源，并通过适当的干预措施加强这些资源，以改善这些儿童的福祉，并确保对他们的照顾的可持续性。

The goal of sustainable marketing remains mainstreaming consumer behavior change towards better and healthier products. This study examined the nexus between organic food adoption behavior and perceived consumer longevity in a post-peak COVID-19 period in Zimbabwe. The proposed model is grounded in the theory of planned behavior and the expectancy-disconfirmation paradigm. Organic food consumers in the upmarket suburbs in Harare were targeted. Using convenience sampling, a structured and person administered questionnaire, 256 valid responses were collected in a cross-sectional survey. Structural Equation Modelling in AMOS was used to analyse the survey data. The positive influence of green attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on green adoption intentions was confirmed. Further, the results also revealed that green behavioral intentions positively affected organic food adoption behavior. The findings were also confirmatory of the positive impact of green adoption behavior on perceived consumer longevity (p < 0.05). The study concludes that green attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control significantly influence consumer intentions to adopt organic foods and their subsequent adoption behavior. More importantly, green adoption behavior has a significant impact on perceived consumer longevity in organic food markets. Therefore, to enhance long-term organic food consumption behavior, organic food marketers should leverage their embedded pro-health benefits that positively correlate with consumer perceptions of good health and longevity.

Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) is a relatively new diagnosis, characterized by an abrupt and dramatic onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder, together with neuropsychiatric symptoms. The study aimed to understand the experience of living with PANS from the perspective of children with the diagnosis. The study employed semi-structured interviews with nine children, aged 10–18 years old, with a diagnosis of PANS. An inductive qualitative content analysis approach was used as a guide for analysis of data. The analysis identified three main categories: (1) “Suffering” reflects the aversive emotional, cognitive, and physical experiences of PANS, and its negative consequences on life; (2) “Powerlessness” reflects a lack of control, difficulties involved with predicting and managing the symptoms, not having words to describe one’s needs, and experiencing a lack of understanding from healthcare providers; and (3) “Being encouraged” entails experiences of finding support and encouragement by receiving flexible treatments, adjusted to the person one is, and having someone who does not give up. The conclusions are that PANS has major negative consequences for the children’s well-being, and they experience limited possibilities to manage the symptoms. Flexible and personally adjusted treatments, and caregivers who are a stable source of support, are empowering.
