Does the language we speak shape the way we think? The present research concentrated on the impact of grammatical gender on cognition and examined the persistence of the grammatical gender effect by (a) concentrating on German, a three-gendered language, for which previous results have been inconsistent, (b) statistically controlling for common alt...
Son preference is widespread in India and deep-rooted in its history. It is
a matter of concern because it produces an imbalanced juvenile sex ratio. There are
far fewer girls than boys. The fi gures vary greatly among the Indian states suggesting
a major north-south gradient in son preference accompanied by a minor westeast
gradient. The aim of th...

Is the use of music in everyday life a culturally universal phenomenon? And do the functions served by music contribute to the development of music preferences regardless of the listener's cultural background? The present study explored similarities and dissimilarities in the functions of music listening and their relationship to music preferences...
In intercultural research, bias is sometimes introduced when a methodological approach that was mostly developed within one of the cultures (usually the Western one) is chosen. Instead of identifying and controlling such bias after data collection and during analysis, eliminating and minimizing bias during planning and while conducting the research...

Academic dishonesty has serious consequences for human lives, social values, and economy. The main aim of the study was to explore a model of relations between personal and cultural variables and academic dishonesty. The participants in the study were N = 2,586 individuals from nine countries (Pakistan, Israel, Italy, India, the USA, Peru, Romania,...
Employee silence, the withholding of work-related ideas, questions, or concerns from someone who could effect change, has been proposed to hamper individual and collective learning as well as the detection of errors and unethical behaviors in many areas of the world. To facilitate cross-cultural research, we validated an instrument measuring four e...
Background: Certain behaviours have been observed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as
buying and storing a lot of basic food and necessities, or hours spent obsessing over the virus. This research aims to
assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of the people living in Mizoram, a small north-eastern state
in India,...

Mathematics anxiety (MA) has a debilitating impact on learning, achievement, mental health, and the future career life of students. Though MA is a popular research theme, there is little agreement among researchers regarding the cross-cultural effect of gender. The purpose of this paper was to explore the perceived MA differences among males and fe...
Background: Recent alarming increase in breast cancer, especially in younger women, has been attributed
to the increasing usage of mobile cellular phones and their placement in contact with the body especially the
breast region. The bio-effects of high frequency electromagnetic radiations accompanied by thermal damage
to the tissues play an importa...
This project involves more than 30 researchers from 25 countries in more than 15 languages. This is a brief presentation highlighting current phase of data collection with the measures we've been using and overall data collection sites and expected sample sizes. I've also provided some brief expected results or anticipated findings. I am still Data...
The Breast Size Satisfaction Survey (BSSS) was established to assess women’s breast size dissatisfaction and breasted experiences from a cross-national perspective. A total of 18,541 women were recruited from 61 research sites across 40 nations and completed measures of current-ideal breast size discrepancy, as well as measures of theorised anteced...
Sexual abuse is a serious problem that cannot be solved solely by responding to abuse after it has been perpetrated. The incidents of sexual abuse in adolescents occur commonly in high schools. Generally, adolescents who could not develop assertiveness tend to be victims and turn out to be aggressive. The study sample consisted of 120 adolescent gi...
Background: To address the issue of ATR astigmatism in patients who undergo temporal manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) surgery. Aim: The aim is to find out whether an incision that is made parallel to the limbus (curvilinear) while doing temporal MSICS can reduce the preexisting against-the-rule astigmatism (ATR). Settings and Design:...
Background: The aim of the current study was to compare the maternal and fetal outcomes of emergency and
elective caesarean deliveries.
Methods: A prospective case comparative study was conducted at the Government Maternity Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Puducherry, from August 2005 to July 2006.
Results: A total of 301 caesare...
The purpose of the study was to investigate the health effects of children of alcoholics and the role of self-esteem. A sample of 400 COAs (Male = 201; Female = 199) was identified with the help of community workers using a snowball sampling technique by audit questionnaire. The result of the study showed that the health effects of COA had a signif...

In this study, we assessed cross-cultural differences in the extent to which general emotional intelligence is linked to life satisfaction and analyzed mediators of this relationship. We used data from an individualistic culture (Germany) and a collectivistic culture (India) and had university students respond to self-report measures of life satisf...

The Body Image in Nature Survey (BINS) is currently seeking international collaborators who would like to be involved in the project. For more information, please email viren.swami@aru.ac.uk.
The BINS is an international, collaborative project with the primary aim of examining cross-sectional associations between nature exposure and positive body image across different world regions. By involving researchers from multiple sites across the globe, the BINS will produce one of the largest datasets examining the impact of nature exposure across countries. In so doing, the BINS will be able to help determine the extent to which nature exposure is reliably associated with more positive body image. The BINS is led by Prof Viren Swami (Anglia Ruskin University and Perdana University), Prof Stefan Stieger (Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences), Prof Ulrich S. Tran and Prof Martin Voracek (University of Vienna). The project commenced in late 2020, with all data collection expected to be completed by December 2021.
The aim of the project is to Translate and adaptation of Panic Buying Scale in Different Indian languages such as
Hindi
Tamil
Kannada
Malayalam
Marathi
,Telugu
The tool has been translated into Indian languages and the data collection process is on
We have collected nearly 750 to 1000 responses in each language
Goal:
The primary objective of this study is to assess the cross-cultural validity of the FFiCD by examining its measurement invariance across nine countries from four continents: Belgium, Burkina Faso, Canada, France, India, Spain, Switzerland, Togo and the United States. Specifically, we aimed to test whether a) the FFiCD factor structure is equivalent across countries (configural invariance), b) its latent factors are defined by the same items equally across countries (metric invariance), and c) identical test scores for individuals from different cultures indicate equal levels of maladaptive personality traits (scalar invariance).
The FFiCD was initially developed in English and has since been translated in several languages including Spanish (Aluja et al., 2021; Sorrel et al., in press), but not French. In fact, to our knowledge, there is currently no instrument available to assess ICD-11 maladaptive personality traits among French-speaking individuals. Therefore, a complementary aim of this study was to produce and validate a French and translation of the FFiCD.
We also wished to provide additional validity evidence for the FFiCD by assessing: a) its convergent validity with the Big Five dimensions, and b) its criterion validity in relation to self-reported mental disorder diagnoses and consulting.
