Individualism–collectivism (I-C), the most widely researched cultural dimension, is often equated with Hofstede’s pioneering nation scores. Concerns are growing about these scores’ validity, but subsequent research has not produced a widely accepted alternative. Here, we offer a refined theoretical conceptualization of I-C, we systematically reevaluate the validity of Hofstede’s I-C scores, and we report the ...

Contemporary theories of emotion emphasize the dual role of emotions as both personal
experiences and communicative signals during social interactions. However, the impact of
macro-level societal structures on emotional expression remains underexplored. This study
investigates the expression-experience discrepancy for self-reported emotions across nations,
focusing on how societal development relates to this discrepancy, which captures expressivity.
Using meta-analysis and multilevel modeling ...

The classical theory of platforms describes user dependency on digital ecosystems as a
rational economic choice: users stay because it is convenient and switching is costly. But what happens
when there is nowhere to switch — not because alternatives are less convenient, but because the state
has eliminated them? This article introduces the concept of “sovereign lock-in” to ...

We examined how language affects moral judgments in a non-WEIRD population. Tanzanian
participants (N = 103) evaluated utilitarian agents in moral dilemmas, either in native Chagga or
foreign Swahili. Agents were rated significantly more moral and braver when evaluated in a
foreign language. Bravery predicted morality more strongly in the foreign language than in the
native language. Indirect sacrifices ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...
