Research suggests that higher extraversion often benefits individuals at work, yet findings at the team level are mixed. The “extravert ideal”—the belief that extraversion is inherently advantageous—can bias teams toward privileging highly extraverted members, marginalizing those lower in extraversion and limiting diverse contributions. This concern is salient in South Korea, where hiring practices have favored extraverted candidates, and is echoed in Western contexts that link extraversion to leadership potential (Cain, 2012). Drawing on the categorization–elaboration model, we argue that high procedural justice mitigates such biases by ensuring fair participation, allowing diverse perspectives to be elaborated and integrated. From this perspective, extraversion diversity—rather than homogeneity—enhances team creativity. Using a multisource, multiwave survey of 84 South Korean teams, we find support for these predictions and highlight the need for inclusive climates that leverage extraversion diversity rather than reinforcing the extravert ideal.

Sustainable consumption practices can drive environmental and societal benefits. One way of steering consumers in a desired direction is through the social proof principle, which posits that consumers are more inclined to exhibit a target behavior if they believe that many others already engage in said behavior. We conducted an online experiment (N = 376; US sample) to test whether reliance on social proof (vs. control) increases consumers' pro-environmental responses, and whether trait conscientiousness moderates this interplay. All included social proof messages outperformed the control condition, regardless of whether they were based on majority (vs. minority) information or dynamic (vs. static) social norms. Additionally, the social proof effect was particularly pronounced among consumers scoring low (vs. high) in trait conscientiousness, with these consumers typically exhibiting the least pro-environmental behaviors according to previous research. Taken together, the current findings carry important implications regarding ways to tackle climate change.

Despite established evidence that problematic short-form video use contributes to poor sleep quality, the mutual relationship between problematic short-form video use and insomnia symptoms remains underexplored. In this longitudinal study, we used a cross-lagged network model to examine this reciprocal relationship. A total of 6691 Chinese college students (45.11 % male) completed surveys measuring demographic information, problematic short-form video use, and insomnia symptoms at two time points spaced three months apart. Our results indicated that problematic short-form video use at T1 was related to higher insomnia at T2. Notably, the association from insomnia to problematic short-form video use appeared stronger than the association in the opposite direction. Specially, out-expected influence and and bridge-expected influence shared two common core nodes, namely, “daytime mood” and “daytime body functions”. Additionally, out-expected influence had one unique node: “sleep onset”, while bridge-expected influence featured a distinct unique node: “daytime sleepiness”. Meanwhile, the four nodes with the highest in-expected influence scores were “anxious without video”, “relieving isolated”, “relieving lonely”, and “reduced efficiency”, suggesting these symptoms were particularly receptive to influenced from other nodes in the network. Targeted interventions addressing core and bridging symptoms may effectively break this reciprocal cycle between problematic short-form video use and insomnia.

Introduction
Imposter phenomenology, often colloquially referred to as “imposter syndrome,” describes the feeling of inadequacy and intellectual phoniness experienced by some high achieving individuals. We hypothesized that imposterism would be correlated with perfectionism, but this effect would differ by subtype of perfectionism.
Methods
We recruited a sample of 278 undergraduate students from the University of Pennsylvania. Perfectionism was measured with the Big Three Perfectionism Scale. Imposterism was measured with the Clance Imposter Scale, and factor analysis was used to identify three previously identified factors of discounting one's success, luck, and feeling like a fraud.
Results
Imposterism was positively correlated with overall perfectionism. We found a significant interaction between imposterism and subtype of perfectionism, where imposterism was positively correlated with rigid and self-critical perfectionism, but not with narcissistic perfectionism. The discount latent factor of imposterism was specifically negatively correlated with narcissistic perfectionism.
Conclusions
Imposterism and perfectionism are closely related constructs, but the subtypes of rigid and self-critical perfectionism are more closely related to imposterism, while narcissistic perfectionism appears to have a null or inverse relationship.

Theoretical accounts of gaslighting suggest that certain personality traits (e.g., Big Five, motives) can pose a risk for experiencing gaslighting while others may serve as protective factors (e.g., self-esteem, well-being). To facilitate systematic analyses, we developed a new context-free measure of gaslighting experience, the Gaslighting Behavior Experience Questionnaire (GBEQ), validated in two cross-sectional studies (N = 222, N = 513), using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Findings indicate that gaslighting is a cross-context phenomenon, occurring most frequently in romantic relationships and possibly persisting for several years. The GBEQ further enabled examination of a broad range of psychological consequences (e.g., reduced well-being and self-esteem, anxiety), underscoring the significance of gaslighting for mental health. Neuroticism/Negative Emotionality and Fear (e.g., of rejection, failure, loss of control/emotional contact) consistently emerged as risk factors, whereas self-esteem served as a protective factor. Group comparisons also showed that women report gaslighting experiences more often than men. Overall, these findings highlight that personality plays an important role and should be considered when providing information for public institutions and developing interventions for those affected.
煤气灯的理论解释表明,某些人格特征(如五大人格、动机)可能会对煤气灯的体验构成风险,而其他人格特征可能会成为保护因素(如自尊、幸福感)。为了便于系统分析,我们开发了一种新的无上下文煤气灯体验测量方法——煤气灯行为体验问卷(GBEQ),并在两项横断面研究(N = 222, N = 513)中使用探索性和验证性因素分析进行验证。研究结果表明,煤气灯是一种跨情境现象,最常发生在恋爱关系中,并可能持续数年。GBEQ进一步能够检查广泛的心理后果(例如,幸福感和自尊心下降、焦虑),强调煤气灯对心理健康的重要性。神经质/消极情绪和恐惧(例如,对拒绝、失败、失去控制/情感接触)一直是风险因素,而自尊则是保护因素。群体比较还显示,女性报告煤气灯经历的频率高于男性。总的来说,这些发现强调了个性在为公共机构提供信息和为受影响的人制定干预措施时应考虑的重要作用。

Studies of sadism and psychopathy commonly evince strong positive associations between the constructs and similar patterns of association with other variables. These findings have led scholars to question whether sadism is a unique trait or is redundant with psychopathy. Evidence has been provided on both sides of this debate, but most of this evidence relies on traditional measurement models and thus favors aggregate-level associations over item-level slopes. To this end we applied random item slope regression towards the examination of the redundancy of these constructs. Results of our study (N = 1267) indicated that random item slopes existed between sadism and each of the facets of psychopathy with many components of sadism evincing null or negative slopes with the facets of psychopathy. Most strikingly, the physical sadism items demonstrated consistently negative slopes with the psychopathy facets excepting the criminal tendencies facet. We conclude that sadism and psychopathy are related, but empirically distinct constructs and offer suggestions for the theoretical development of sadism to help differentiate it further as a construct.

This study examined whether time perspectives moderate the relationship between neuroticism and procrastination. A convenience sample of 232 adults (Mage = 38.4, 72.41 % women) completed self-report measures of neuroticism (NEO Five-Factor Inventory), procrastination (Pure Procrastination Scale), and time perspectives (Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory). As expected, neuroticism was positively associated with procrastination. Importantly, several time perspectives moderated this association. Specifically, a Past-Positive orientation buffered, whereas Past-Negative and Present-Fatalistic perspectives amplified the link between neuroticism and procrastination. Similarly, individuals with a more imbalanced temporal profile showed a stronger neuroticism–procrastination link, while those with more balanced profiles were less vulnerable. In contrast, Future and Present-Hedonistic perspectives did not moderate the relationship, though Future orientation was a robust negative predictor of procrastination across the sample. These findings suggest that procrastination is not solely a trait-based vulnerability but reflects interactions between personality and time-related cognitive-emotional patterns. Given that temporal orientations are modifiable through intervention, targeting maladaptive time perspectives may support efforts to mitigate procrastination in those prone to negative affectivity.

Alcohol use is driven not only by environmental cues but also by individual differences in motivational style. Recent work has demonstrated how memory cues can reduce subsequent desire for alcohol, yet it remains unclear how personality traits shape this effect. To address this, we recruited male and female participants (N = 169) who completed the behavioural inhibition/approach system (BIS/BAS) scales and were then cued to recall either a previous alcohol drinking episode and estimate the number of alcohol calories consumed (Alcohol Cue, AC) or a control (Neutral Cue, NC). They then rated their desire for alcohol (DAQ). Findings revealed lower desire for those in the AC compared to NC group and separately, a positive association between alcohol desire and BAS and particularly BAS-Drive. We further found that a measure of residual BAS (BAS less BIS) was positively related to desire but did not moderate the effect of memory cue. These findings suggest that being reminded of a previous drinking episode can exert a modest but consistent influence on alcohol desire.

With advancements in technology, smartphones have permeated every household, becoming indispensable tools for daily life. However, the abuse of smartphones can lead to Problematic Smartphone Use, which may give rise to other negative outcomes. Despite the abundance of research in this field, few studies have examined the impact of region-specific social-psychological problems on problematic smartphone use. To address this gap, the present study employed a 14-day intensive longitudinal design to investigate the dynamic relationship between rest intolerance, which is a social-psychological problem that highly promoted in East Asia, and problematic smartphone use, while further exploring the mechanisms underlying this relationship based on Compensatory Internet Use Theory. Results showed that rest intolerance positively predicted both participants' self-reported Mobile Phone Addiction Index and objectively measured Screen Time. Furthermore, the study revealed the mediating role of anxiety in this relationship. These findings offer significant theoretical and practical implications for the field.
