Although global crises cause a subjective perception of threats, which consequently mitigates subjective well-being, the level of life satisfaction remains high among Russians. The aim of the study was to examine the role of social beliefs in life satisfaction among supporters of equal/unequal income distribution. The current study tested a model in which social beliefs (belief in a dangerous world, belief in a competitive world) were included as predictors of life satisfaction, support for equal/unequal income distribution – as a moderator, and socio-demographic characteristics – as control variables. 1123 participants from Russia (47% men, 53% women) aged 18 to 76 (M = 35.97, SD = 11.47) took part in the study. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires on belief in a dangerous world, belief in a competitive world, support for equal or unequal income distribution, and a question measuring the level of life satisfaction. Moderation analysis showed that belief in a dangerous world made a negative contribution to life satisfaction, while support for unequal income distribution made a positive contribution. In the sample of lowincome respondents, support for unequal income distribution reduced the negative effect of belief in a dangerous world on life satisfaction, whereas support for equal income distribution reduced the negative effect of belief in a competitive world.

Introduction:
While self-referential attention is thought to enhance interoceptive sensitivity, its effect on cardiac modulation of corticospinal excitability remains unexplored. This pilot study investigated how viewing one’s own face (self-face processing) modulates the cardiac-phase coupling of motor output and whether this heart-brain coupling depends on interoceptive accuracy (heartbeat perception).
Methods:
In 15 healthy adults, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were ...

As such, they are increasingly popular in both academic and commercial research.
