TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined associations of trust in government regarding COVID-19 control with recommended health behaviours and prosocial behaviours and found that higher trust in the government was associated with higher adoption of health and pro-social behaviors.

TL;DR: That higher country-level narcissism was more common in less developed countries, whereas sex differences in narcissism were larger in more developed societies, is more consistent with evolutionary than social role models.

TL;DR: The metric level of invariance offers the possibility of comparing correlates and predictors of positive mental functioning across countries; however, the comparison of the levels of mental health across countries is not possible due to lack of scalar invariance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report a survey conducted across 56 societies (N = 58,641), and tested pre-registered hypotheses about how age relates to perceived personal costs during the pandemic, prosocial COVID-19 responses, and support for behavioral regulations (e.g., mandatory quarantine, vaccination).

TL;DR: The results confirmed the measurement invariance of the DTDD across participants’ sex in all world regions, with men scoring higher than women on all traits (except for psychopathy in Asia, where the difference was not significant).
