Acceptance research in the organizational sciences has shown that practicing acceptance can reduce anxiety and enhance performance at work. Our research aims to deepen understanding of these effects by considering how and when acceptance influences work anxiety and performance. We integrate cognitive resource allocation theory with workplace mindfulness and acceptance research to develop a model in

Transgender (trans) people comprise about 2 million members of the U.S. population. While these communities are blueprints for culture and liberation, they face an acute threat of interpersonal violence, including domestic violence (DV) by intimate partners and family. Trans people are especially susceptible to polyvictimization : experiencing multiple types of violence, often across multiple settings

Despite the availability of evidence-based treatments and related studies for depression and anxiety, there is a research gap regarding therapist-related unwanted events in psychotherapy. Conducting a systematic review is essential to address such gap. This review aimed to address (a) How were therapist-related unwanted events described and measured in the literature? (b) What were the themes for therapist-related

Gaslighting (manipulating perceptions and thoughts) is associated with worse health outcomes in adults, yet little is known about the association between gaslighting and other established domains of dating violence (i.e., cyber, verbal, physical, and sexual) nor the unique contribution of gaslighting to worse mental health in adolescents (ages 13–18 years). Drawing data from the Healthy Minds 2 study

This study investigates the prevalence, forms, and unique cultural manifestations of intimate partner violence (IPV) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in four Celtic nations (Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Wales) while recognizing differences due to gendered heteronormativity. The research involved a cross-sectional survey of 1,389 participants and in-depth

One of the most significant economic impacts of sexual and dating violence across the lifespan is housing insecurity and homelessness. However, research on the association between housing instability and interpersonal violence among college students is limited. As such, the purpose of this study is to better understand the association between sexual and dating violence victimization and housing security

Experience and exposure to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) are reported worldwide across various age groups. However, little is known about resilience and its associated factors, such as anger management and social integration, among the victims of IPV at universities in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Tanzania. We employed a cross-sectional design to examine 276 students (41.7% female;

Bystander intervention (BI) is an approach that has been used widely for addressing sexual and dating violence and has more recently been extended to other settings and types of harm, including workplace mistreatment. Understanding more about the opportunity to intervene—including the types of observed behaviors, who is observing them, and the frequency and breadth of those observations—is an important

The current discourse in the field of intimate partner violence is based mostly on the expectation that violence terminates the relationship and the partners separate to reconstruct their lives. This expectation is based on an either/or paradigm, which appears problematic given the reality of couples struggling with staying or leaving. This article examined the meanings couples attributed to remaining

Young adults provide sexual services, acts, or materials for pay or financial compensation (SSAMP), which include in-person (e.g., contact), virtual (e.g., videos), and material (e.g., underwear) forms. Whether and how university students provide SSAMP in the United States is not well understood primarily because of a lack of survey-based research using methodologically rigorous measures in university

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2020), over 1.5 million people identify as Pacific Islander, which establishes this group as one of the fastest growing cultural groups in the United States. However, this population remains underrepresented in discussions about mental health (Borrero et al., 2012) despite their overrepresentation in unaddressed mental health concerns (Seaton et al., 2019). Within

In times of changing labor markets and rapid technological development, individuals are repeatedly faced with career decision-making to manage frequent and complex transitions within and between learning and work. Thus, it is crucial to understand the dynamic process of career decision-making. Career decision-making models propose specific sequences of key aspects, such as actions of career exploration

“Slurs against masculinity” are insults that directly target a man’s traditional, heterosexual masculinity. Research has shown that men perceive these insults to be particularly offensive and likely to provoke physically aggressive responses (Saucier et al., 2015). We conducted two studies online with adult male participants (Study 1 N = 144 (84% White, mean age = 29.71, SD = 8.85) and Study 2 N =

Depression is a known risk after trauma exposure, but the nature of the trauma plays a role in the risk. Traumas that involve interpersonal aggression tend to be associated with poorer mental health outcomes. Identifying factors that influence the relationship between event type and depression may aid in the identification of modifiable risk factors to improve mental health outcomes in survivors of

Psychological abuse within intimate relationships is a highly prevalent subtype of intimate partner violence (IPV) that is frequently associated with other types of IPV such as sexual or physical violence. Psychological abuse can cause enduring harm, including the loss of agency and self-belief, and entrapment in a relationship. Previous measures of psychological abuse have been characterized by inconsistencies

Employees differ in their circadian preferences, which dictate the timing of activity and sleep during the day. Despite their relevance for daily fluctuations in energy and performance, research and practice indicate prevalent biases and misconceptions regarding circadian processes at work. Individuals seem to believe in the malleability of these circadian preferences, that earlier circadian preferences

Occupational accidents, injuries, and illnesses remain critical challenges for organizations, particularly in extreme contexts where unusual or atypical events occur. While organizational responses to extreme events have been widely studied, there is less research on how individuals appraise and respond to such events. This leaves us with insufficient evidence on the microfoundations of extreme events

Boundary theory posits boundary management tactics as specific behaviors. Yet, little is known about whether and why individuals use these tactics variably. Incorporating control theory and boundary theory, we conceptualized boundary management tactics intended to segment work from family (BMT) as dynamic, goal-directed behaviors adopted in response to a perceived work-family discrepancy (i.e., work-to-family

Coercive control (CC) is a severe and relentless form of domestic abuse whereby perpetrators often directly target and undermine women’s relationships with their children. A “conspiracy of silence” can surround the abuse, with mothers and children not speaking to each other about what has happened, which has been described as negatively impacting the mother–child relationship. Our understanding of

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is pervasive and has several negative consequences. However, IPV victims mostly do not disclose their victimization experiences to law enforcement agencies, and this attitude largely hinders their ability to receive needed treatment. The main purpose of the current study was to examine factors that impact IPV victims’ decisions to call the police about their victimization

Recent advancements in range restriction (RR) correction research suggest that Case V (Dahlke & Wiernik, 2020; Le et al., 2016) is one of the most accurate approaches to correct for (indirect) RR. However, researchers have had difficulty applying the Case V approach, especially in validation and meta-analytic (including validity generalization) studies, because of the lack of information regarding

In an effort to extend experiential learning theory to the team level, we develop and test a model capturing and explaining the relative effects of two alternative team learning-based interventions, namely, after-action reviews (AAR) and design thinking (DT; a team problem-solving approach which we argue can be repurposed as a team development intervention). Integrating experiential learning theory

This paper uses a descriptive behavioral analysis to present a study of the offending behavior of 34 serial rapists. All offenders were males adjudicated for committing sexual assaults upon two or more victims. Since no experimental control was feasible to be applied, an individual data analysis of the information contained in the offenders’ case files is made. The fundamental procedure consists of

Mounting evidence suggests that gun violence occurring within a community can affect community members even when they do not experience it firsthand. Building on this expanded view of exposure, the present study examined the effects of environmental exposure to gun violence—that is, living or attending school within 1,300 m of a past-year firearm homicide occurrence—on adolescents’ problem behaviors

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant issue in young adult relationships, with immediate and long-term health and well-being consequences. The factors contributing to IPV are complex and span from the level of individual neurobiology to the wider socioecological system. The interplay across these domains in predicting IPV has been understudied. We, therefore, aimed to examine the factors

Bullying is a social and health problem that requires appropriate interventions based on valid and fair evaluations of bullying experiences. The validity of interpretations of bullying victimization scores can be compromised by measurement artifacts or biases that may arise during the assessment process. Boys’ and girls’ bullying experiences could lead to differences in their response processes when

The present study examined the frequency and content of implicit questions asked to 6- to 17-year-olds during cross-examinations ( N = 122) of children in child sexual assault trials and analyzed how often they rebutted these questions. Through qualitative content analysis, we found that defense attorneys most commonly asked children implicit questions about: ulterior motives, coaching, being untruthful

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive global issue that disproportionately impacts women with disabilities, yet remains underexplored in many contexts. This study examines the prevalence and determinants of IPV among poor disabled women in Egypt, aiming to identify the key factors contributing to their heightened vulnerability. Specifically, it addresses the following questions: What are the

Leadership and historical narrative studies suggest that leaders strategically use history as a source of narratives to facilitate change. Yet the dynamic microprocess of how leaders craft and recraft their historical narratives to shift the organizational members' understanding of current reality and thereby facilitate change remains unexplored. Using the case of a Korean Buddhist temple that confronts

Employees, especially in the service sector, often work long hours exposed to background music that they have little control over because it is usually selected to enhance customer experience. How does this affect employees' daily work experience? This research focuses on how a misfit between the type of music employees need and the background music played in their workplace impacts their psychological

Sexual harassment bystander intervention (SHBI) has been deemed critical to addressing persistent incidents in the workplace, yet scholarly knowledge of this behavior remains sporadic and limited. To move this field of research forward, the present study departs from the traditional variable-centered approach and instead adopts a latent profile approach to answer three key questions: (1) Which combinations

We propose that Conservation of Resources theory can be applied through a gendered lens to understand how individual and socio-structural forces explain experiences of workers' financial hardships over a six-month period (N = 455). Using latent growth curve analysis, we analyzed how energy resources (income), personal resources (money management skills), gender, and the community's gender inequality

The present study aims to investigate the prevalence of various forms of verbal sexual abuse among students in higher education. Specifically, the study seeks to explore the linguistic features and types of utterances used in verbal sexual abuse and to examine how male and female students perceive such abuse. A mixed-methods design was employed, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches

Rape culture in higher education is a term used to describe an environment in which sexual violence is accepted or tolerated as part of campus life. Prior exploration of rape culture has largely focused on sexual violence among and against students, although limited work has examined perspectives of university employees. This qualitative study sought to further identify cultural norms and beliefs in

Human trafficking, encompassing sex trafficking and forced labor, is a global issue often linked with intimate partner violence (IPV). Existing support systems for these vulnerable populations remain insufficient. This study explores the pivotal role of salon professionals within communities as trusted figures, aiming to develop targeted programs that empower them to prevent and respond to violence

In Victoria, Australia, children who are reported to authorities to have experienced very recent sexual assault routinely undergo a forensic medical examination and receive psychosocial care. There is very little known about how children and their families experience this process and whether current practices are meeting their needs. This study seeks to understand these experiences by undertaking a

The way in which parents discuss children’s past emotional events with them is associated with various outcomes in children, such as emotion regulation skills and behavior problems. For children growing up with adverse experiences such as witnessing domestic violence, it is particularly important to understand the link between emotion dialogues and child functioning, because parents’ guidance in dialogues

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is a growing public health concern, with longitudinal studies linking it to a range of negative outcomes, including psychological distress and poor academic achievements. While the trauma model has been applied to other addictive behaviors, little is known about the relationship between childhood trauma, trauma-related symptoms, and IGD symptoms. This preliminary study

Many universities have implemented bystander training programs to prevent relationship violence and sexual assault. Such programs encourage students to engage in behaviors to prevent interpersonal violence (i.e., bystander behaviors) if they witness situations that seem likely to escalate to violence. Bystander behaviors, however, often result in consequences, both positive and negative, for those

A surprisingly consistent finding from the global health literature on physical intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) indicates that women self-report greater agreement with statements justifying IPVAW than men. This pattern has been interpreted as evidence of women’s internalization of inequitable gender norms and used to support the development of intervention programs that target harmful

Black women experience the highest mortality and morbidity resulting from intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization, yet there remains a dearth of culturally responsive interventions designed to meet their needs within the coordinated community response system. We employed the Theory of Help-Seeking Behavior to explicate the barriers that Black women experience when securing assistance from providers

The phenomenon of bullying/victimization affects millions of students globally and is associated with enduring consequences and internalizing problems for all the participants. Drawing upon Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, this study examines the moderating effects of individual attributes (gender and educational stage) and environmental factors (social support size and social support satisfaction)

Based on person-environment fit theory and using and advancing a latent modeling approach, this longitudinal study (eight measurement points, half-year time lags) reports on the association between demands-abilities fit and job satisfaction as well as turnover. Using demands and abilities in terms of applied work as a sample case, we tested for within-person associations between demand-ability congruence

To date, little is known about what interventions can help individuals attain leadership roles in organizations. To address this knowledge gap, we integrate insights from the communication and leadership literatures to test debate training as a novel intervention for leadership emergence. We propose that debate training can increase individuals' leadership emergence by fostering assertiveness-"an adaptive

The literature reveals the effectiveness of social sharing in unburdening stressed employees; however, the question of how the social sharing of stress in superior–subordinate dyads can affect supervisors' well-being remains unanswered. By integrating self-disclosure theory and conservation of resources theory, we develop a model to explore the influence of supervisors' daily social sharing of stress

The term "trauma" was originally used to describe only the most horrific experiences, but its meaning has expanded in both public and academic circles. This has led to concerns about potential risks associated with defining the term trauma more broadly. However, little research has examined whether the breadth of individuals' trauma beliefs affects their distress after exposure to a potentially traumatic

The primary focus on the overall higher risk for poor psychosocial and health outcomes has overshadowed inquiries into general psychological processes that might support the psychological well-being of transgender and nonbinary individuals (TNB). Using self-determination theory to assess basic psychological needs (BPN) satisfaction and recent findings about the importance of authenticity to TNB people

Leaders regularly experience identity threats that are potentially harmful to the enactment of their self-identity as leaders. Yet research into leader identity threat, particularly those that examine the lived experience of individual leaders in situ, is scarce. Drawing on social constructionism and identity discrepancy theories, we explore the leader identity threat experienced by emergency physicians

Gender-based violence, understood as the most extreme expression of asymmetric power relations based on gender, aims primarily to perpetuate inequalities, acting as a significant obstacle to progress toward equality. The psychological gender-based violence manifests as a prelude to a complex scenario of abuse within and outside heterosexual partner relationships and emerges as the main strategy of

Yao and Ma (2023) recently reviewed and reanalyzed 31 studies published in top-tier journals utilizing polynomial regression and response surface methods. Their work offers a useful holistic framework for how to test and categorize various forms of congruence; however, they ultimately advance cautionary conclusions about the extent to which 28 of the 31 studies provide "evidence of congruence" and

Our recent article on congruence research (Yao & Ma, 2023) advocated the need to adopt a holistic approach to studying congruence effects and to developing stronger congruence theories. Matta and Frank (2025) offered an insightful commentary on our article, highlighting theoretical and empirical/inferential concerns. These concerns include (a) whether the exact correspondence effect is the theoretical

Colonial mentality is one of the most damaging effects of colonization, where colonizers are perceived as superior to the colonized people's culture, society, and heritage (David & Okazaki, 2006a). In this study, we apply a postcolonial lens to the lived experiences of 205 Mexican-origin emerging adults in the United States (72% women) to examine the psychometric properties of a revised version of

While research with Black, Indigenous, and people of color trans and nonbinary (TNB) communities has increased over the last decade, there remains a dearth of research focusing on the unique within-culture influences on gender minority stress (GMS) and resilience experienced by Latinx TNB community members. In the present study, guided by interpretive phenomenological analysis, gender minority stress

Vocational interests are an important factor in individuals' career choice and development. However, current understanding about the vocational interests of sexual minorities is underdeveloped. Using data from 31,348 men and 59,715 women (N = 91,063) from 48 countries who self-identified as heterosexual, gay/lesbian, bisexual, or asexual, this study used a fine-grained approach to investigating the

Sexual misconduct perpetrated by faculty/staff in higher education can have severe and long-lasting impacts. This study reports on a survey of 1,768 current and former students in U.K. higher education carried out in 2018, of whom 734 had experienced at least one incident of sexual misconduct. Sexual misconduct was measured by questions on sexual conduct from faculty/staff that aimed to establish whether

Public perceptions of intimate partner homicide victims are influenced by how the news media frames incidents, often perpetuating gendered stereotypes. In particular, research has found that victim blaming is common in the reporting of intimate partner homicide. However, the way the public engages with news media has changed, as social media platforms allow audiences to engage in news creation by posting

Individuals facing intimate partner problems (IPP) often experience mental health issues, including suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Immigration status may increase risk due to the stress of acculturation and barriers to health care affecting immigrants. This study aims to identify patterns of risk factors among immigrants who died by suicide while experiencing IPP and explore variations in patterns
