Leader workaholism and subordinates' psychological distress: The moderating role of justice climate
This study investigated the direct relationship between leader workaholism and subordinates' psychological distress. Drawing on substitutes for leadership theory, it also assessed the buffering effects of procedural, interactional, and distributive justice climates in this relationship. Data from an online survey of 40 leaders and 200 subordinate employees revealed a positive correlation between leader workaholism and subordinates' psychological distress. However, the procedural and interactional justice climates negatively moderated this relationship, whereas the distributive justice climate did not. This disparity may re...

Heart rate variability and psychological health: The key role of trait emotional awareness

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStudies have shown that Trait Emotional Awareness (TEA) - the ability to recognize one's emotions - and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) are both negatively associated with psychological disorders. Although these studies imply that TEA is related to HRV and may explain the association between HRV and psychological disorders, there is limited research investigating this implication. Such investigation is essential to illuminate the psychophysiological processes linked to psychological disorders. The present study aims t...

Fostering inclusivity: The impact of cosmopolitan orientation and European attachment on attitudes toward non-Western immigrants
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 25;246:104290. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104290. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper examines the impact of different types of national and European identity-glorification and attachment-on attitudes toward diverse outgroups, centering on the role of cosmopolitan orientation as a mediator. In Study 1 (N = 342), both national and European attachments positively correlated with cosmopolitan orientation, subsequently influencing attitudes toward non-Western international students. Notably, national and European glorification also significantly impacted attitudes but in a negative manner, wi...

Volunteering intentions during social crises: The role of considering the welfare of others and consequences of own behavior
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 25;246:104289. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104289. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the current paper, we investigate how people with experience with volunteering in their lifetime intend to engage in hypothetical crisis volunteering in the future. We took into account two types of hypothetical social crises: a pandemic and a refugee crisis. We suggest that individual differences in considering the welfare of others (social value orientation) and consideration of future/immediate consequences play a role in the volunteer responses to crises. We also control for the willingness to volunteer in t...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmployees' innovative behaviors (EIB) play a crucial role in driving enterprises' innovation and enabling them to adapt to the complex business environment. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of proactive personality in EIB, whereby a mediating effect of work-related flow is proposed in this relationship. The moderating effect of organizational innovation climate is also examined on the indirect of proactive personality on EIB through work-related flow. With purposive sampling, a questionnaire survey ...

'Interesting' or 'boring': Modifying the implicit association task to measure implicit fire interest in an adolescent community sample
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 25;246:104294. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104294. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe efficacy of explicit measures in assessing fire interest is often compromised by social desirability biases, presenting a challenge for early intervention programs aimed at preventing firesetting behaviour. The current study aimed to validate a novel fire interest Implicit Association Task (IAT), as a more reliable measure of implicit fire interest in adolescents. An Australian community adolescent sample of 85 participants, aged 10-17 (M = 13.65, SD = 1.81), completed a series of questionnaires, and the novel ...

Separating spatial representations from polarity encoding in the processing of number and sequence stimuli in a four-way classification task
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 25;246:104287. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104287. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough the SNARC effect in the processing of most magnitude stimuli and sequence stimuli has been reported for the past 30 years, it remains unclear whether this effect is caused by the spatial representation or polarity encoding of stimuli. In the present study, we designed five experiments using a four-way classification task to evaluate the ability of spatial representation theory and polarity encoding theory to explain the SNARC effect in the processing of number and sequence stimuli. In all five experiments ...

The long-term association between exposure to wartime bombing earlier in life and post-traumatic stress later in life among today's older Vietnamese population
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 25;246:104293. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104293. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis analysis examines the relationship between exposure to American wartime bombardments earlier in life and later-life PTSD among current surviving Vietnamese aged 59+. It also assesses whether the relationship varies by military status during the war - formal military, informal military, or civilian - and whether associations are explained by exposure to violence and malevolent conditions. Data link survey responses from the 2018 Vietnam Health and Aging Study to provincial-wide level bombing intensity using U.S...
