Brockmole Published: March 17, 2014 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0091880 Abstract There are a variety of reasons someone might engage in risky behaviors, such as perceived invulnerability to harm or a belief that negative outcomes are more likely for others than for oneself. However, these risk-taking biases are often measured at a decision-making level or from the developmental perspective. Here we assessed whether or not…

Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Angela Clarke , Pamela J. Meredith , Tanya A. Rose Published: June 15, 2020 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0234662 Abstract Introduction A growing body of evidence has demonstrated the importance of mentalization for adolescents’ psychosocial functioning; however, further research is needed to understand links between mentalization and other socio-cognitive factors. The aim of this quantitative, cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between a teen’s capacity to mentalize and three attachment-related factors: parent-teen trust, parent-teen communication, and parent-teen alienation….

Kruglanski, Marina Chernikova, Noa Schori-Eyal   Published: July 6, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0180420 Abstract Arrogant behavior is as old as human nature.

In this paper, we focused on a typical manifestation of arrogance: dismissive behavior. In particular, we explored the conditions under which a person who dismissed advice would be perceived as arrogant. We examined…

However, there are also reports on antagonistic traits—characterized by empathic deficit—bolstering immunity to stress. In the literature there is also inconclusive evidence regarding gender-related differences in resilience. In separate female and male subsamples we analyzed…

Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Song Wu, Jingyuan Liang, Jing Lin, Wei Cai Published: June 7, 2019 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0218076 Abstract Previous studies have found that high social class individuals are more dishonest than low social class ones. However, the underlying mechanism of this phenomenon is still unclear. The “ignoring negative consequences” hypothesis suggests that belonging to a high social class makes individuals ignore the negative consequences of dishonesty, whereas the “self-focused” hypothesis suggests that belonging to a high social class makes…

Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Mariela E. Jaffé , Rainer Greifeneder, Marc-André Reinhard Published: November 14, 2019 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0224526 Abstract Values, beliefs, and traits differ across individuals, and these concepts might impact whether individuals choose to engage in (dis)honest behavior. This project focuses on interindividual differences in Machiavellianism, which is defined as a tendency toward cynicism and manipulativeness, and the belief that the ends justify the means. We hypothesized that trait Machiavellianism would predict dishonest behavior. Furthermore, we speculated that some…
