Perseverance, a measure of conscientiousness, is a valid predictor of achievement and truancy across the globe.
J Pers Soc Psychol
May 2024
Department of Psychology, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Is Conscientiousness a useful construct across cultures? Using the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment data, we examined whether perseverance, a measure of Conscientiousness, was related to achievement and truancy across 62 countries/regions ( > 470,000). We investigated whether these relationships were linear or curvilinear in nature and assessed the utility of item-level information. After establishing partial metric invariance of the perseverance measure across various countries/regions and cultural regions, our findings unveiled that perseverance consistently predicted both math achievement and truancy, with predominantly linear associations.

Can we separate factors influencing people's willingness to protest government corruption from factors to each socioecological context? Surprisingly little cross-cultural data exist on this important question.

Despite being a pan-cultural phenomenon, laughter is arguably the least understood behaviour deployed in social interaction. As well as being a response to humour, it has other important functions including promoting social affiliation, developing cooperation and regulating competitive behaviours. This multi-functional feature of laughter marks it as an adaptive behaviour central to facilitating social cohesion.

Neuroscience

City University of Hong Kong, Department of Biomedical Sciences, 31 To Yuen Street, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong. Electronic address:
Music is a curious example of a temporally patterned acoustic stimulus, and a compelling pan-cultural phenomenon. This review strives to bring some insights from decades of music psychology and sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) literature into the mainstream auditory domain, arguing that musical rhythm perception is shaped in important ways by temporal processing mechanisms in the brain. The feature that unites these disparate disciplines is an appreciation of the central importance of timing, sequencing, and anticipation.
