- Recent evidence indicates an elevated risk of suicidal ideation for undergraduate nursing students. This research was designed to enhance the understanding of suicidal ideation in nursing students by investigating the relationships between problem-solving skills, perceived stress, hardiness, and suicidal ideation, with the possibility of hardiness acting as a moderator in the relationships between problem-solving skills appraisal and perceived stress with suicidal ideation. A multi-stage cluster random sample of Malaysian nursing undergraduate students (N = 204) completed self-report questionnaires. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that poor problem-solving skills, greater levels of perceived stress, and low levels of hardiness predicted greater levels of suicidal ideation. Also, hardiness emerged as a moderator in the links between problem-solving skills appraisal and perceived stress with suicidal ideation. The findings incrementally improve our understanding about the importance of hardiness as a moderator in explaining how problem-solving skills and perceived stress affect suicidal ideation. The results of this study are obtained from Malaysian nursing students and possible generalization to other populations should be verified by further studies.

Mine is bigger than yours! narcissism predicts biases in perceived head size
- 2019

In: Studia psychologica (Bratislava). - : Institute of Experimental Psychology, Centre of Social and Psychological Sciences, Slovak Academy of Sciences. - 0039-3320 .- 2585-8815. ; 61:4, s. 245-257

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The expression big headed is often used to describe narcissists, however is it possible that this term signals a bias in how narcissists perceive themselves? We tested whether narcissistic traits predicted biases in the estimated size and weight of specific body parts, including head circumference and brain weight. In two questionnaire-based studies, participants estimated the size or weight of parts of their body. In Study 1 (n = 316), we found that the Leadership/Authority facet of narcissism significantly predicted greater estimates of head circumference in men, but lower estimates of head circumference in women. In Study 2 (n = 275), we found that when a sexspecific average head circumference was not provided, Leadership/Authority predicted greater estimates of head circumference overall. We present evidence that narcissism predicts biases in estimated head size and brain weight, but that the precise nature of these biases is dependent on the provided frame of reference for body size. These results are discussed with reference to within-sex competitive strategies, perceived intelligence and stereotypes for male and female attractiveness.

Measuring emotional intelligence : perception of affective content in art
- 2004
-
In: Studia psychologica (Bratislava). - Bratislava : Slovak academy of sciences. - 0039-3320. ; 46:3, s. 195-202
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- One important aspect of emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive the emotional qualities in a variety of stimuli. The aim of this study was to examine the possibility to measure the ability of perceiving emotions and moods in art. Sixty pastel paintings were selected and estimated on 151 descriptors of affective states. A factor analysis based on the painter's ratings of the affective states resulted in three factors: negative affection, positive affection and activation. Loadings on these three factors together with test-retest reliabilities permitted a reduction to 12 pictures and 20 descriptors. High agreement was obtained between the painter's ratings and the ratings of twelve art experts. The importance of developing a test of emotion perception based on art work is discussed.
