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.

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

Background:
Delay discounting refers to the tendency to choose sooner, smaller rewards over larger, later rewards. Many previous studies link this tendency positively to reward sensitivity, yet the specific mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. Reward sensitivity may relate to delay discounting through at least three possible pathways: increased sensitivity to reward size, increased sensitivity ...

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Introduction:
As cities continue to grow, access to natural environments is becoming more limited, contributing to increased stress levels in urban populations. Panoramic 360° videos provide a creative and scalable means of simulating natural environments, potentially reducing stress in city residents under controlled settings. Here, we examined whether short immersive experiences in different urban environments support ...

Letter recognition is assumed to involve several levels of analysis, including coarse tuning for category and novelty and more fine tuning for specific features, related to letter orientation. We employed an oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) paradigm with magnetoencephalography (Elekta VectorView, 306 sensors) to study neural discrimination responses in the source space. Using contrasts ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...

Embodied and embedded cognition (EEC) theory proposes that language and cognitive development emerge from bodily interactions with the environment, yet empirical tests of this claim in clinical developmental populations remain rare. This mini-review synthesizes behavioral, electrophysiological, and structural neuroimaging evidence from children with serious early motor disorders—obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis multiplex congenita—which restrict ...

In psychology, people's assessment of conditional statements "if--then", agreement and disagreement with them is actively studied. This assessment of people who are not specialists in the field of logic often differs greatly from its requirements, especially if the reality observed by a person to one degree or another contradicts a formally correct logical conclusion. In ...

Evolutionary theorizing predicts that parenthood is associated with higher hedonic wellbeing (experiencing more positive and fewer negative emotions), higher eudaimonic wellbeing (experiencing greater meaning in life), and greater life satisfaction. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed a dataset comprising 5,556 participants drawn from 10 different nations. We found a small positive effect of parenthood on ...

The study of subjective well-being remains a central topic in contemporary psychology, reflecting a sustained scholarly interest in the factors that contribute to individuals’ positive life evaluations. While socio-demographic and economic determinants are well-established, research increasingly focuses on relational variables, particularly the quality of intimate bonds.
