The character of the relationship between religiosity and resilience depends to a large extent on mediation and moderation mechanisms which rely on cognitive and emotional processes. Research conducted within hope theory and the broaden and build theory indicates that hope and affect can mediate and moderate this relationship. The present study explored whether the relationship of the religious meaning system with resilience in spouse caregivers of cancer patients can be mediated by hope and simultaneously moderated by positive and negative affect. A total of 241 spouse caregivers completed a set of questionnaires. The results revealed that hope mediated the relationship between the religious meaning system and resilience. Furthermore, positive affect but not negative affect moderated the indirect effect of the religious meaning system to resilience through hope.

Is framing of treatment options misleading? Maybe, but not because of a lower-bound reading.

J Med Ethics

December 2024

Philosophy and Religious Studies, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands

In a recent paper, Yeo argues that the framing of treatment options by physicians in the contexts of patient's decision-making conflicts with a physician's duty of disclosure. I argue that this conclusion is drawn too quickly, as it is questionable whether the empirical research on which Yeo relies is applicable to the framing of treatment options. This means that Yeo's main assumption is undermined, and we should hold off on concluding that the framing of treatment options is misleading.

Personality differences between birth order categories and across sibship sizes.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

January 2025

Department of Psychology, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N1N4, Canada.

We examined associations of self-reports on the HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised (HEXACO-PI-R) with birth order category and sibship size, controlling for participant sex and age. In a first sample ( > 700,000 online adults, mainly from English-speaking countries), Honesty-Humility and Agreeableness both showed the highest means for middle-borns, followed in order by last-borns (youngests), firstborns (oldests), and only children, with differences between middles and onlys of ≥ 0.20.
