OBJECTIVE Modern military missions place numerous demands on service members, including tactical, personal, and cultural challenges. The purpose of this study was to explore how domains of multicultural personality (cultural empathy, open-mindedness, social initiative, emotional stability, and flexibility) and combat exposure relate to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in service members. ...

Multicultural experience is considered to be beneficial, but it remains a difficult construct to measure. We tested the validity of a new assessment tool, the Multicultural Experiences Questionnaire (MEQ), using an undergraduate sample (N 164), and examined the relation of multicultural experience to moral judgment, closedmindedness, growth, and fixed mindsets. We expected that greater multicul...

The current study investigated the relationship between mother–child interaction quality and infants’ ability to interpret actions as goal-directed at 7 months in a sample of 37 dyads. Interaction quality was assessed in a free play interaction using two distinct methods: one assessed the overall affective quality (emotional availability), and one focused on the mother’s proclivity to treat her...

Participants rated themselves or others on traits reflecting risk and immunity from persuasion (e.g., weakand strong-mindedness) and need for cognition (NFC). They then rated ho...

Two agents are like-minded when their beliefs are equal once conditioned on knowledge of both of their types.

A key advantage o...

Against a long tradition of childhood realism (Piaget, 1929), A. S. Lillard and J. H. Flavell (1990) found that 3-year-olds prefer to characterize people by their mental states (beliefs, desires, emotions) than by their visible behaviors. In this exploratory study, we extend this finding to a new cohort of 3-year-olds, examine how these preferences change from 3-4 years, and explore relationshi...

Praised for its revolutionary technique and studied for its perplexing imagery, Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait has remained a riddle since the 19th century. Completed in 1434 in Bruges, the work showcases a skilled use of oil paints and impressively realistic details. More famous and perhaps more important, however, than van Eyck’s technique are the two figures and the objects which decorate...
