The aim of the present study was to analyze the link between the five moral codes proposed in the Moral Foundations Theory and moral judgement of disparagement humor. We presented racist, sexist, homophobic, religion-disparaging and neutral jokes to a group of 108 participants, asking them whether they found laughing at a particular joke moral or i...
Background
To limit the rapid spread of COVID‐19, countries have asked their citizens to stay at home. As a result, demographic and cultural factors related to home life have become especially relevant to predict population well‐being during isolation. This pre‐registered worldwide study analyses the relationship between the number of adults and ch...
Two preregistered studies (N = 679) tested the links between women’s gender identity and their amusement with sexist jokes targeting men. We hypothesized that the interaction between the strength (i.e., level of in-group identification) and contents (traditional/progressive) of women’s gender identity would be associated with their amusement with j...
Given the ubiquitous nature of love, numerous theories have been proposed to explain its existence. One such theory refers to love as a commitment device, suggesting that romantic love evolved to foster commitment between partners and enhance their reproductive success. In the present study, we investigated this hypothesis using a large-scale sampl...
In this on-line study of adult women (N = 145), we performed a series of moderation analyses, including women’s self-reported gender in-group identification as moderator, their traditional/progressive identity contents as predictors, ambivalent sexism targeted at men and attitudes toward male and female conforming and non-conforming gender roles as...
Objective: Vaccines are an effective means to reduce the spread of diseases, but they are sometimes met with hesitancy that needs to be understood. Method: In this study, we analyzed data from a large, cross-country survey conducted between June and August 2021 in 43 countries (N = 15,740) to investigate the roles of trust in government and science...
Background: The timing of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) suggests that hormonal fluctuations are a key component in its pathogenesis. Unfortunately, women with PMS cannot be distinguished from asymptomatic women regarding biological markers. Research suggests that increased susceptibility to hormonal changes among women with PMS may be explained by th...
In two preregistered studies, we examined the links between women’s gender identity and their amusement with sexist (both hostile and benevolent) jokes targeted at men. In Study 1 (n = 531), we hypothesized that the interaction between the strength and contents of women’s gender identity would be associated with their amusement with jokes targeted...

The diagnosis of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) poses a challenge for clinicians due to the overdiagnosis of retrospective methods and overlapping symptoms with depression. The present study utilized an Item Response Theory analysis to examine the predictive utility of the Premenstrual Symptom Screening Tool...
The COVIDiSTRESS global survey collects data on early human responses to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic from 173 429 respondents in 48 countries. The open science study was co-designed by an international consortium of researchers to investigate how psychological responses differ across countries and cultures, and how this has impacted behaviour, copin...

Wprowadzenie. Objawy zespołu napięcia przedmiesiączkowego utrudniają, a często uniemożliwiają kobietom codzienne funkcjonowanie na wielu płaszczyznach. Czynnikiem, który może wspierać je w radzeniu sobie z dolegliwościami, jest akceptująca i wspierająca postawa ze strony otoczenia, szczególnie ze strony osób znaczących, w tym partnera. Dotychczasow...

W artykule zaprezentowano przegląd wybranych badań nad agresją werbalną i agresywnymi formami humoru obserwowanymi w środowiskach wychowawczych i edukacyjnych. Badania te uwzględniają ak...
Celem przeprowadzonych badań było porównanie osób z wrodzoną i nabytą niepełnosprawnością ruchową pod kątem strukturalnych wymiarów poczucia tożsamości oraz stopnia akceptacji własnej choroby (niepełnosprawności). Analizy dotyczyły również związków tych wymiarów ze stopniem akceptacji choroby, zarówno ogółem, jak i w porównywanych podgrupach. W int...
Questions
Question (1)
Let's say there is a questionnaire in which some items are about peer relationships and some about romantic relationships. Consequently, participants who are not in a romantic relationship at the time of surveying are instructed to leave the 'romantic' items blank, thus creating missing data. Would you consider the data MNAR (missing not at random) or MAR (missing at random) in this particular case?
