Be fearless: Positive affect as a mediator between venturesomeness and self-efficacy in future entrepreneurs and managers
ConclusionThe present study provides new evidence that heightened venturesomeness is related to higher levels of positive affect, self-assurance and joviality. Venturesomeness, therefore, may strengthen self-efficacy in young people during entrepreneurship-related education, and positive emotions may lead to an aware use of resources, including self-efficacy. These results may stimulate young people to be brave and to try new experiences.RésuméIntroduction et objectifsLa connaissance de ses propres capacités, la personnalité et les différents états d’affect chez les entrepreneurs et les managers sont des facteurs i...

Validation studies of the Paranoia Checklist (Portuguese version) in mixed sample of patients and healthy controls

Computerized Cognitive Tests (CCT) in elderly: A psychometric review
ConclusionThere are only a few papers published with well-structured psychometric data (reliability and validity).

Do procedures really matter when rewards are more important? A Pakistani perspective on the effects of distributive and procedural justice on employee behaviors
ConclusionThe findings suggest that workers in an underdeveloped economy like Pakistan may be more concerned with fairness in the distribution of rewards than procedural fairness. Therefore, in such context, procedures may be less likely to reduce negative consequences of unfair reward distribution.RésuméIntroductionLes chercheurs conviennent que la justice procédurale et la justice distributive interagissent de sorte qu’une grande équité procédurale réduit les conséquences négatives de l’injustice distributive.ObjectifsNotre objectif était de tester l’hypothèse selon laquelle les employés au Pakistan (c...

ConclusionsThe data suggest that the Self-Discrepancy Scale is a valid measure of self-discrepancies and a valuable predictor of emotional vulnerability, especially with regards to abstract global judgments of discrepancies and of discrepancy induced distress. It is concluded that the Self-Discrepancy Scale offers a valuable help in clinical settings.RésuméIntroductionLes écarts des sois (les distances entre le soi perçu et les sois idéal ou socialement prescrit) sont très souvent présents dans les situations de détresse psychologique. Cependant, on manque d’un outil clinique évaluant ces écarts.ObjectifExplore...

Linking cheating in school and corruption
ConclusionThese results suggest that GDP per capita as an economy-related background variable and in-group collectivism as a societal value have independent effect on collaborative cheating and perceived corruption and these broader background variables can diminish the strong link between collaborative cheating and perceived corruption.RésuméIntroductionDes travaux antérieurs (2009) ont montré l’existence d’une corrélation entre le favoritisme à l’égard de l’ingroup en lien avec le niveau de collectivisme du pays et le niveau de corruption. Néanmoins aucun travaux précédent à notre connaissance n’a fa...
