Organizational Commitment Profiles and Employee Well-Being: Exploratory and Confirmatory Latent Profile Analyses Open
Organizational commitment scholars generally agree that there are three components of organizational commitment: affective commitment (emotional attachment to one’s organization), normative commitment (sense of loyalty or obligation to rem…
The Negative Symptom Inventory-Psychosis Risk (NSI-PR): Psychometric Validation of the Final 11-Item Version Open
Background and Hypotheses The lack of psychometrically validated assessment tools designed specifically to assess negative symptoms in individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis represents a significant barrier to the early iden…

Undergraduate Lay Theories of Abilities: Mindset, universality, and brilliance beliefs uniquely predict undergraduate educational outcomes Open
This article presents a new measure of Science and Math undergraduates’ mindset beliefs: the Undergraduate Lay Theories of Abilities survey. The authors find that mindset, brilliance, and universality are distinct and empirically discrimin…
Development and Validation of the Mentoring in Undergraduate Research Survey Open
Here we present the development and initial validation of the Mentoring in Undergraduate Research Survey (MURS) as a measure of a range of mentoring experienced by undergraduate science researchers. We drafted items based on qualitative re…
Exploring the structure of fearlessness using self‐report measures Open
Objective The present study examined the hierarchical structure of self‐reported fearlessness and compared this structure to external criterion measures. Background Fearlessness is often discussed in relation to clinical and personality re…
Van Til et al. (in press). Exploring the structure of fearlessness using self-report measures Open
Fearlessness is often discussed in relation to clinical and personality research. However, there is a paucity of research focusing on its empirical structure, in particular with self-report measures. The present study examined the hierarch…
Development of a measure of aggressive behavior expectancies in adults: The Aggression Expectancy Questionnaire Open
According to sociocognitive theories, aggression is learned and elicited through a series of cognitive processes, such as expectancies, or the various consequences that an individual considers more or less likely following aggressive behav…
Development and Validation of the Negative Symptom Inventory-Psychosis Risk Open
Background and Hypotheses Early identification and prevention of psychosis is limited by the availability of tools designed to assess negative symptoms in those at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR). To address this critical need, a mu…
Neurodiversity in the workplace: Considering neuroatypicality as a form of diversity Open
Estimates suggest as much as 17% of the US workforce may be neuroatypical, a term used to describe individuals whose neurological functioning is at the tail ends of the distribution of naturally occurring variation. Although the neuroatypi…

Undergraduate Lay Theories of Abilities: Mindset, universality, and brilliance beliefs uniquely predict undergraduate educational outcomes Open
Students’ beliefs about the nature of their abilities (collectively called “lay theories”) affect their motivations, behaviors, and academic success. Lay theories include beliefs about the potential to improve intelligence (mindset), who (…
Structural brain differences do not mediate the relations between sex and personality or psychopathology Open
Introduction Males and females tend to exhibit small but reliable differences in personality traits and indices of psychopathology that are relatively stable over time and across cultures. Previous work suggests that sex differences in bra…
An empirically based power primer for laboratory aggression research Open
Recent reviews suggest that, like much of the psychological literature, research studies using laboratory aggression paradigms tend to be underpowered to reliably locate commonly observed effect sizes (e.g., r = ~.10–.20, Cohen's d = ~0.20…
MUPPscore: An R script for expected a posteriori scoring of multi-unidimensional pairwise preference items Open
In this manual, we present a flexible and freely available tool for obtaining latent trait scores from multi-unidimensional pairwise preference (MUPP) tests: An R script named MUPPscore. The development of the MUPPscore script provides a s…
Searching high and low for replicable associations between brain morphometry and personality Open
Please see posted pre-registration on the main project page.
Investigating the neural substrates of Antagonistic Externalizing and social-cognitive Theory of Mind: an fMRI examination of functional activity and synchrony Open
Recently developed quantitative models of psychopathology (i.e., Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology) identify an Antagonistic Externalizing spectrum that captures the psychological disposition toward criminal and antisocial behavior.…
Does it matter where you’re helpful? Organizational citizenship behavior from work and home. Open
Organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) are commonly studied in the organizational and occupational health literature, yet, current OCB measures inherently assume individuals are performing these behaviors while physically at work. How…
Understanding job satisfaction in the causal attitude network (CAN) model. Open
Job satisfaction researchers typically assume a tripartite model, suggesting evaluations of the job are explained by latent cognitive and affective factors. However, in the attitudes literature, connectionist theorists view attitudes as em…
Cortical morphometry of the five-factor model of personality: findings from the Human Connectome Project full sample Open
This study is a replication of an existing large study (N = 507) on the surface-based morphometric correlates of five-factor model (FFM) personality traits. The same methods were used as the original study in another large sample drawn fro…
Personality traits share overlapping neuroanatomical correlates with internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Open
Although personality traits have been linked to internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, the extent to which these traits and psychopathological phenotypes share a common neuroanatomical structure is unclear. To address this gap, w…
Examining hypothesized curvilinear and interactive relations between psychopathic traits and externalizing problems in an offender sample using item response-based analysis Open
Fearless Dominance (FD) generally manifests null to small relations with externalizing problems, leading some researchers to propose alternative paths by which FD may relate to these problems. The current study provides a test of two possi…
A conditional threshold hypothesis for creative achievement: On the interaction between intelligence and openness. Open
Theoretical perspectives on creativity have suggested that intelligence is necessary but not sufficient for creative behavior. Known as the threshold hypothesis, this idea has generated both controversy and confusion since Guilford (1967) …
The relation between narcissism and laboratory aggression is not contingent on environmental cues of competition. Open
Narcissism has been robustly linked to self-report and lab-based measures of aggression. However, less is known about the role that a competitive context may play in the relations found between narcissism and aggression as measured in beha…
The Modified Gambling Motivation Scale: Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Links With Problem Gambling Open
The Gambling Motivation Scale (GMS), a scale based on self-determination theory, consists of seven motivations: to learn the game, to feel competent, to experience excitement, to socialize, to feel important, to win money, and to continue …
Item response theory scoring and the detection of curvilinear relationships. Open
Psychologists are increasingly positing theories of behavior that suggest psychological constructs are curvilinearly related to outcomes. However, results from empirical tests for such curvilinear relations have been mixed. We propose that…

Placing Job Characteristics in Context: Cross-Temporal Meta-Analysis of Changes in Job Characteristics Since 1975 Open
Despite frequent references to “the changing nature of work,” little empirical research has investigated proposed changes in work context perceptions. To address this gap, this study uses a cross-temporal meta-analysis to examine changes i…
