Two Decades Later – Are Psychological Samples Still WEIRD?
No full textPsychological science has long been critiqued for relying on samples drawn primarily from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. The present study examines the current state of this critique by integrating three lines of evaluation: national sample origins, demographic representativeness, and adherence to APA reporting standards. We analyzed all human subjects research published in 2024 in six leading psychology journals (k = 1,217) and compared their samples to previous reviews. While the proportion of U.S.-based samples continues to decline, U.S. participants remain vastly overrepresented (59% of samples in 2024), and recent declines appear to have slowed, dropping only 4 percentage points in the last decade. For demographic representativeness, we found substantial improvements in demographic reporting since 2014, but participants’ race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and education are still frequently omitted. For reporting standards, we evaluated compliance with Journal Article Reporting Standards–Race, Ethnicity, and Culture (JARS-REC; APA, 2023). We find wide variation across journals in adoption of practices, with some, such as including sample justifications, which are almost unanimously adopted, whereas others, such as conducting analyses of diversity, are much less common. Overall, our findings show that psychology still depends heavily on WEIRD samples, with only modest and uneven progress in inclusivity and transparency. By combining these three evaluations, we establish a holistic benchmark that can be used to systematically monitor change in these research practices in the future
Determining the longitudinal associations between suicidal ideation and biopsychosocial factors in early- to mid-adolescence: a prospective cohort study
No full textObjectives: To determine whether a biopsychosocial model of suicidality, specifically sleep, nutrition, physical exercise, mindfulness, social connectedness, lower socioeconomic status, and sex are uniquely associated with increased suicidal ideation, longitudinally over adolescence.
Design: Longitudinal, prospective cohort study.
Setting: A structured self-report questionnaire was collected as part of the Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study at the University of the Sunshine Coast's Thompson Institute, (Queensland, Australia) from July 2018 - January 2024.
Participants: 159 Australian adolescents (n=91 female; 68 male) aged 12 to 17 years.
Outcome measures: Self-reported suicidal ideation was measured longitudinally. Data were also collected on self-reported lifestyle factors (sleep, nutrition, physical exercise, mindfulness, social connectedness), psychological distress, socioeconomic status, and sex. All measures were collected at 4-monthly intervals for each participant for up to 5 years (maximum of 15 time points).
Results: Significant relationships were identified between increased suicidal ideation and poor sleep (odds ratio [OR] 2.6, 95% CI 1.4-4.6, p = .002), socioeconomic disadvantage (SES Quintile 1: OR 6.3 [95% CI, 1.8-21.8, p = .004; SES Quintile 2: OR 8.7, 95% CI 1.4-56.2, p = .022), psychological distress (OR 5.7, 95% CI 2.1-15.6, p = <.001) and eating habits (β -0.08, 95% CI -0.2--0.0).
Conclusions: Poor sleep, socioeconomic disadvantage, psychological distress and eating habits were all found to be significantly associated with increased adolescent suicidal ideation over time. These biopsychosocial factors should be considered in targeted interventions and policies for reducing adolescent suicidality. Further research should employ multilevel modelling to examine factor interactions and rigorously evaluate interventions targeting lifestyle factors and socioeconomic inequalities through randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental designs
Descriptive norms' influence on online donation behavior: From the perspective of norm-regulated responsibility
No full textPrevious studies usually hold the view that descriptive norms positively influence people's behavior. However, some studies also suggest that descriptive norms of prosocial behavior (e.g., pro-environmental behavior) could potentially reduce people's feelings of individual responsibility and, in turn, reduce personal norms and prosocial behavior intentions. This model suggests an inconsistent mediation model explaining descriptive norms' effect on prosocial behavior. Based on this theoretical model, this study proposes that descriptive norms may also negatively influence donation behavior through the mediation of ascription of responsibility. Therefore, this study first plans to replicate their results on the negative influence of descriptive norms on ascription of responsibility in the context of online donation behavior, which shares the features with pro-environmental behavior on its collectivity and prosociality. Second, this study plans to extend the model by adding response efficacy as another mechanism. Finally, this study aims to explore whether the user experience could affect the effects of descriptive norms because descriptive norms might not influence experienced users

Emotional similarity between personally-relevant photographs of negative world events
No full textThe meaning of our experiences is informed by their emotional tone, but to what extent judging that events evoke similar emotions (“emotional similarity”) determines our perception that these events are similar to each other overall? To investigate this question, in two experiments, we solicited judgments of the similarity between pairs of photographs of major real-world events on several dimensions, including their emotional and overall similarity. Ratings of the emotionality of single photographs were also collected. Participants in Experiment 2 completed questionnaires that quantified trait anxiety and depression. Explicit judgements of emotional similarity predicted judgements of overall similarity better than single-stimulus judgments, an important methodological point which should inform future studies of this construct. Our findings suggest that perceived emotional similarity is highly predictive of how similar stimuli are perceived to be overall. Despite the high correlation among the facets of similarity between stimuli, emotional similarity had a unique explanatory power. Depression severity decreased the perceived similarity. Because this relationship was unexpected we analysed two existing datasets where participants with a diagnosis of depression were compared to non-depressed controls. Our findings suggest that depression may sharpen the representation of negative experiences, exaggerating, rather than diminishing, the differences between them

The Innovation in Education Theory, introduced by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad in 2022, emphasizes the importance of innovation in the education system to address rapid challenges and changes. The theory is rooted in the need for new methods and approaches in education that can enhance learning effectiveness and overcome traditional barriers. In a rapidly changing world, innovation is key to ensuring that education remains relevant and capable of preparing students for the future.
This theory defines innovation in education as the application of new ideas, methods, and technologies to enhance the teaching and learning process. The fundamental concept of the theory is that innovation is not just about introducing new technologies but also about leveraging changes to create more effective, inclusive, and engaging learning environments. Educational innovation involves various aspects, including curriculum design, teaching methods, and the use of digital technologies.
The phenomenon underlying this theory is the rapid changes in technology, the economy, and labor market demands, which require the education system to adapt and evolve. For instance, advancements in information and communication technologies have transformed how information is accessed and delivered, necessitating new approaches to teaching and learning. This phenomenon shows that traditional approaches in education may no longer suffice to meet modern needs.
The principles of the Innovation in Education Theory involve several key steps. First, it is essential to identify the needs and challenges faced by the education system. Second, designing and implementing innovative strategies that can address these challenges and enhance learning effectiveness is crucial. Third, using feedback and reflection to continually improve the approaches used.

Life Integration Theory, introduced by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad in 2022, aims to understand how individuals can harmoniously and balancedly integrate various aspects of their lives. Amid the increasing demands of work, family, and personal life, it is essential to find effective ways to achieve healthy balance and integration. This theory provides guidelines on achieving an optimal balance between work, family, and personal life.
The theory defines life integration as the ability to align various roles and responsibilities in life harmoniously and balancedly. The core concept is that a balanced life is not only crucial for individual well-being but also for better performance and productivity. The theory emphasizes the importance of flexibility, clear priorities, and effective time management strategies.
This theory is based on the phenomenon that many individuals often feel overwhelmed by the demands of different aspects of their lives, leading to stress, fatigue, and dissatisfaction. For example, a professional who routinely works overtime may feel they have insufficient time for family and personal activities, negatively impacting their mental and physical health. This phenomenon suggests that a more holistic and integrated approach is needed to achieve better balance in life.
The working principles of Life Integration Theory involve several key steps. First, it is essential to understand and identify priorities and goals across various life aspects. Second, developing time management and planning strategies that allow individuals to allocate their time and energy effectively among different roles and responsibilities is crucial. Third, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to adjust plans and strategies based on emerging changes and needs is vital. The theory also emphasizes the importance of social support and a supportive environment to help individuals achieve better life integration.
Key indicators of this theory include individuals' satisfaction levels with their life balance, stress and fatigue levels, and performance and productivity across their various roles. Other indicators include the quality of personal and professional relationships, the ability to achieve personal and professional goals, and overall mental and physical well-being. These indicators can be measured through surveys, interviews, and well-being data analysis. These indicators help evaluate how well life integration improves individual well-being and performance.
Operational variables of Life Integration Theory include measuring life balance levels, the effectiveness of time management strategies, and the quality of relationships across various life aspects. These variables can be measured through surveys, self-assessments, and well-being data analysis. This data provides insights into how individuals manage different aspects of their lives and how interventions can be designed to improve life integration.
This theory can be applied in various fields such as Human Resource Management (HRM), Psychology, Education, Social Communication, and Health. In HRM, this theory helps develop programs that support employees' work-life balance and enhance productivity. In Psychology, this theory is useful for understanding how life integration can support mental and emotional well-being. In Education, this theory supports developing curricula that promote life balance among students and staff. In Social Communication, this theory guides strategies to raise awareness about the importance of life integration. In Health, this theory helps design programs that support a healthy lifestyle and work-life balance.
The success of applying this theory is determined by several key factors. Support from leaders and an organizational culture that promotes life balance is crucial. Additionally, having adequate resources to develop and implement life integration programs is a key factor. Success is also influenced by the ability to utilize feedback and adjust strategies based on evaluation results and individual needs.
Implementing this theory requires a structured and ongoing approach. The first step is identifying the needs and barriers in achieving life integration and developing appropriate programs. Effective strategies include providing education on the importance of life balance, developing policies that support work flexibility, and creating mechanisms for feedback and evaluation. Continuous evaluation and strategy adjustments based on stakeholder feedback are essential for long-term success.
Challenges in applying this theory include resistance to change, a lack of understanding of the importance of life integration, and limited resources to develop and implement life integration programs. However, with strong support from leaders and a supportive organizational culture, along with ongoing education, these challenges can be overcome. Success also depends on creating an environment that supports active engagement and effective life integration management and the ability to manage disruptions and barriers that may arise in the life integration process.
Life Integration Theory emphasizes the importance of balance and integration in achieving optimal well-being and performance. This theory provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and facilitating life integration across various fields. With proper application, this theory can help individuals and organizations improve their ability to manage life balance, better face challenges, and create a positive impact on performance and well-being.
