The development and validation of a Multidimensional Perceived Work Ability Scale.
We describe the development and validation of the Multidimensional Perceived Work Ability Scale (M-PWAS), comprising four dimensions: physical, cognitive, interpersonal, and emotional. In line with Hinkin’s (1998) approach to scale validation, we use four samples (total N = 1,152) to establish the M-PWAS as a reliable and valid measure of PWA. Through an iterative item generation and review process, we found evidence for content validity. Furthermore, each subscale demonstrated high internal consistency and factorial validity, and analysis of the PWA nomological network demonstrated evidence for convergent and discrimina...

The “in between”.
Families, Systems, & Health, Vol 42(1), Mar 2024, 135-136; doi:10.1037/fsh0000819When the authors were 12 and 14 years old, their worlds shifted suddenly without warning or consent, and bifurcated our lives into “a before” and “an after.” They were both diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and found themselves in an “in between” space—young but not healthy, sick but not dying, treatments but not cures, intestines swollen and bleeding but appearing fine on the outside, in every sense the definition: an invisible illness. Their own chronic illness experiences helped to shape our pursuit of careers in...

Processing of fearful faces exhibits characteristics of subcortical functions.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Vol 153(5), May 2024, 1374-1387; doi:10.1037/xge0001568A subcortical pathway is thought to have evolved to facilitate fear information transmission, but direct evidence for its existence in humans is lacking. In recent years, rapid, preattentive, and preconscious fear processing has been demonstrated, providing indirect support for the existence of the subcortical pathway by challenging the necessity of canonical cortical pathways in fear processing. However, direct support also requires evidence for the involvement of subcortical regions in fear processing. To address this issu...

Judging robot ability: How people form implicit and explicit impressions of robot competence.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Vol 153(5), May 2024, 1309-1335; doi:10.1037/xge0001548Robots’ proliferation throughout society offers many opportunities and conveniences. However, our ability to effectively employ these machines relies heavily on our perceptions of their competence. In six studies (N = 2,660), participants played a competitive game with a robot to learn about its capabilities. After the learning experience, we measured explicit and implicit competence impressions to investigate how they reflected the learning experience. We observed two distinct dissociations between people’s implicit and...

Unconscious prioritization for face-to-face people.
This study presents a new form of unconscious integration based on the facingness between two individuals. Using a breaking continuous flash suppression paradigm, Experiments 1–3 found that two facing human heads got a privilege in breaking into awareness compared to nonfacing pairs. Experiments 4 and 5 demonstrated that the breakthrough difference between facing and nonfacing pairs could not be attributed to low-level or mid-level factors. Experiments 6, 7a, and 7b showed that the unconscious priority of facing pairs was significantly diminished when the holistic processing of the two agents was disrupted. Experiments 8...

Equality and efficiency shape cooperation in multiple-public-goods provision problems.
We examined how people manage such decision conflicts in five preregistered experiments (N = 900) that confronted participants with two public goods that varied in efficiency and (in)equality of returns. People cooperated more on the comparatively efficient public good and on the equal-return (vs. unequal-return) public good (Experiment 1), yet when the unequal-returns public good was also the most efficient, individuals cooperated comparatively more on this unequal-but-efficient public good when they themselves benefitted the most from inequality (Experiments 2–4). Low beneficiaries largely ignored public goods efficien...

Efficiency neglect: Why people are pessimistic about the effects of increasing population.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Vol 153(5), May 2024, 1213-1225; doi:10.1037/xge0001569In six studies, we find evidence of efficiency neglect: when thinking about the effects of population growth, people intuitively focus on increased demand while neglecting the changes in production efficiency that occur alongside, and often in response to, increased demand. In other words, people tend to think of others solely as consumers, rather than as consumers as well as producers. Efficiency neglect leads to beliefs that the real costs of some consumer goods are rising when they are actually decreasing and may contribu...

So much for plain language: An analysis of the accessibility of U.S. federal laws over time.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Vol 153(5), May 2024, 1153-1164; doi:10.1037/xge0001572Over the last 50 years, there have been efforts on behalf of the U.S. government to simplify legal documents for society at large. However, there has been no systematic evaluation of how effective these efforts—collectively referred to as the “plain-language movement”—have been. Here we report the results of a large-scale longitudinal corpus analysis (n ≈ 225 million words), in which we compared every law passed by congress with a comparably sized sample of English texts from four different baseline genres publishe...

Understanding the assessment of the will to die and its link with hastened death requests: Findings from a systematic review.
European Psychologist, Vol 29(1), 2024, 43-54; doi:10.1027/1016-9040/a000522Understanding the will to die in patients with a serious and incurable disease is essential due to its complexity and potential connection with requests for hastened death. This systematic review aimed to identify any new assessment tools developed since 2016 to evaluate the will to die and determine if there is a relationship with the growing legalization of hastened death processes. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines, and out of 1,588 initially identified studies, 33 were selected for analysis. Within this review, 12 assessment tools were ...

Assessment of play in preschool-age: A systematic review.
European Psychologist, Vol 29(1), 2024, 27-42; doi:10.1027/1016-9040/a000520The construct of play lacks a universal and consensual definition, due to its inherent complexity. It is during childhood play is fundamental to the development of cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language skills. Therefore, it is pertinent to conduct research on play in preschool age, seeking to identify predictors of development and methods to assess the specific components that make up the different dimensions of play. The evaluation of preschool play, using valid and reliable instruments, supports the construction of intervention pro...

Psychodrama: Comprehensive review of the effectiveness of psychodrama in sexual abuse trauma.
This study presents an overview of Psychodrama and the Role Reversal technique, as well as its effectiveness, especially in the treatment of trauma, in particular, trauma resulting from sexual abuse. For this study, we searched the main international databases. We have discovered that psychodrama can serve as a highly effective intervention model for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. However, our primary finding emphasizes the necessity for additional research regarding the efficacy of Psychodrama and its Role-reversal technique specifically for victims of sexual abuse.
