Team Success: Aligning Means with Objectives
In corporations, sports, and academia, people often face challenges they cannot handle alone. In such cases, selecting the right team is crucial. Tatiana Mayskaya, Associate Professor at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences and the International College of Economics and Finance, together with colleagues from foreign universities, examined team characteristics and found that less diverse teams are better suited to objectives where a high average performance is important, whereas more diverse teams are preferable when avoiding failure is critical. The paper has been published in Economic Theory.

Economists Propose More Effective Approach to Reducing Smoking
Economists at HSE University have examined how smokers respond to changes in cigarette prices. When tobacco prices increase, cigarette consumption does not always decline. In fact, spending on tobacco may even rise: according to the researchers, a 1% decrease in cigarette affordability leads to a 0.28% increase in per capita tobacco expenditure. The findings suggest that to reduce smoking rates, tobacco prices must rise faster than household incomes. The study has been published in Voprosy Statistiki.

Prove them wrong: Do professional athletes perform better when facing their former clubs?

Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics. 2022. Vol. 98. Article 101879.
Assanskiy A., Shaposhnikov D., Tylkin I., Vasiliev G.

In this paper, we investigated the influence of competition with a former employer on employees’ performance by examining how athletes in team sports play against their former clubs. Using the data on individual players’ performances in multiple seasons of the NBA, NHL, and major European soccer leagues, we constructed several PPML and OLS models to estimate the effect. Professional athletes executed more offensive actions against their former teams. Basketball players scored more points by making more shots but did not improve their accuracy. Ice hockey players, along with footballers in the English Premier League, also shot more. The effect strengthens in the away matches. In addition, the performance improvement is particularly apparent when athletes accumulated insufficient playing time in the former team, or accepted a wage reduction when transferring, or were waived. This study provides evidence that elite basketball, ice hockey, and soccer players perform better against their former clubs.

While psychoanalysis has richly described resistance as a defense against painful affect and threats to internal object relations, the process-level dynamics through which resistance persists over time have remained incompletely articulated.

Personality as attribution: Report-based traits and the problem of what personality research measures
Shchebetenko S., / Series PsyArXiv "PsyArXiv". 2026.
Personality psychology owes much of its cumulative success to self- and informant-report assessment. Report-based trait constructs are reliable, replicable, predictive, and useful for organising a wide range of findings. This paper argues that their success should be understood not only methodologically, but also theoretically. I propose the attributional model of personality reporting, according to which self- and informant-reported traits are ...

Shared environment, shared mechanisms: comparing pathways to mental health outcomes among indigenous youth and youth with other ethnic backgrounds
Букина А. А., Eritsyan K., Antonova N. et al., Frontiers in Psychology 2026
Background:  Numerous studies have shown that indigenous populations experience poorer health outcomes compared to people with other backgrounds. However, the interpretation of these disparities remains challenging due to differences in living conditions and social environments, as well as by potential measurement-related biases. Little is known about whether the underlying mechanisms of mental health outcomes differ between ...

Cognitive Distortions Are Not Logical Errors: A Conceptual Clarification
Denisova V., Petrović N., Journal of Rational - Emotive and Cognitive - Behavior Therapy 2026 Vol. 44 No. 35 P. 1–16
Cognitive distortions are routinely described in cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and rational-emotive behavior (REBT) therapies as “errors in logic” or “illogical thinking.” While this terminology is pedagogically convenient, it often obscures a crucial conceptual distinction between violations of logical inference and problems related to the justification, scope, or evaluative force of belief content. In this paper, we do not ...

The Temporal Flow of Interaction: Interpersonal Synchronization and Alliance Perception Across Session Parts

Interpersonal synchrony is increasingly conceptualized not as a static marker of rapport but as a dynamic, context-sensitive process that fluctuates across interactional phases to serve distinct relational functions. This study examined whether movement synchrony—absolute, non-absolute, client-leading, and counsellor-leading—was associated with therapeutic alliance in naturally occurring counselling sessions. Twenty-seven video recordings were analysed using motion energy ...
