Article Synopsis
- This research investigates how people's self-perceptions of agency and communion differ based on their socioeconomic status (SES), using data from 6 million individuals across 133 countries.
- Higher SES individuals generally see themselves as more agentic and slightly less communal, but these perceptions vary significantly by country.
- The study identifies three key national characteristics—religiosity, pathogen load, and income inequality—that influence these differences, suggesting they have important social implications.

- Students assess their academic strengths and weaknesses by comparing their performance in different subjects, which can influence their motivation and preferences towards specific domains, such as favoring English over math.* -

- The research involved middle and college students, showing that praise in verbal skills significantly enhanced their motivation in those areas without harming their motivation in math, suggesting that verbal beliefs might be more easily influenced by external feedback than math beliefs.*

We aimed to investigate prospective psychotherapists' bias in assessing their own facilitative interpersonal skills (FIS) and predictors of high self-assessments.

Therapists' demographic variables and self-concepts were assessed through self-report questionnaires, and their therapeutic skills were assessed with the German version of the "FIS" task.
