TL;DR: Hofstede et al. as discussed by the authors explored the relationship between the economic, religious and ethical values of Mexico and China and concluded that these different ethical-religious approaches affecting the economic performance of both nations are the result of a historical process involving the gradual development and social acceptance of ethical and religious values.
Abstract: Spanish Abstract: Este articulo explora la relacion entre desempeno economico y la conformacion de los valores eticos y religiosos en el caso de China y Mexico. El articulo parte de la propuesta de las dimensiones culturales de Hofstede, G., Hofstede, G. J. y Minkov, M. (2010) quienes afirman que ambos paises son similares en multiples factores, pero que muestran fuertes diferencias en las dimensiones de Indulgencia, Pragmatismo e Incertidumbre, variables determinantes en los aspectos economicos como la propension a ahorrar, actitudes empresariales y motivacion hacia proyectos de corto o largo plazo. Nosotros sugerimos que estas diferencias culturales tienen su origen en la conformacion de los valores eticos y religiosos de ambos paises. Asi, en este articulo se analiza la conformacion del catolicismo y del confucianismo como sustento de los valores que inciden en el desempeno economico. La religion en Mexico es acerca de una relacion de Dios con el hombre basada en la promesa de un futuro mejor en una vida mas alla de esta vida. En el pensamiento chino, producto de una vision pragmatica moldeada por sistemas filosoficos como el confucionismo, el hombre es el centro de la existencia por lo que se busca pensar en acciones para el aqui y ahora. Este articulo concluye que estas diferencias de enfoque eticas-religiosas que inciden en el desempeno economico de China y Mexico son resultado de un proceso historico de larga duracion que en un caso significo la ruptura y en el otro la continuidad de culturas milenarias.English Abstract: This article explores the relationship between the economic, religious and ethical values of Mexico and China. The article is based on the cultural dimensions of Hofstede et. al (2010), and the authors argue that although both countries are similar in many ways, they show strong differences in the dimensions of Indulgence, Pragmatism and Uncertainty. These variables impact economic areas such as savings and entrepreneurship as well as disposition towards short-term or long-term outlook. We suggest that these cultural differences have their origin in the ethical and religious values of both countries, and this article therefore discusses the formation of Catholicism and Confucianism as the basis of the values influencing economic performance. Religion in Mexico is about a relationship with God based on the promise of a better future in the afterlife, while in Chinese thought, (the product of a pragmatic vision shaped by philosophical systems such as Confucianism as well as by different religions), the human being is the center of existence and acts for the present good. This article concludes that these different ethical-religious approaches affecting the economic performance of both nations are the result of a historical process involving the gradual development and social acceptance of ethical and religious values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural equivalence of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) across 26 samples from 24 countries (N = 12,200) was assessed.
Abstract: In this article, we assess the structural equivalence of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) across 26 samples from 24 countries (N = 12,200). The ZTPI is proven to be a valid and reliable index of individual differences in time perspective across five temporal categories: Past Negative, Past Positive, Present Fatalistic, Present Hedonistic, and Future. We obtained evidence for invariance of 36 items (out of 56) and also the five-factor structure of ZTPI across 23 countries. The short ZTPI scales are reliable for country-level analysis, whereas we recommend the use of the full scales for individual-level analysis. The short version of ZTPI will further promote integration of research in the time perspective domain in relation to many different psycho-social processes.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors examined the concept of humility among chief executive officers and the process through which it is connected to integration in the top management team (TMT) and middle managers' responses.
Abstract: In this article, we examine the concept of humility among chief executive officers (CEOs) and the process through which it is connected to integration in the top management team (TMT) and middle managers’ responses. We develop and validate a comprehensive measure of humility using multiple samples and then test a multilevel model of how CEOs’ humility links to the processes of top and middle managers. Our methodology involves survey data gathered twice from 328 TMT members and 645 middle managers in 63 private companies in China. We find CEO humility to be positively associated with empowering leadership behaviors, which in turn correlates with TMT integration. TMT integration then positively relates to middle managers’ perception of having an empowering organizational climate, which is then associated with their work engagement, affective commitment, and job performance. Findings confirm our hypotheses based on social information processing theory: humble CEOs connect to top and middle managers through c...

TL;DR: Investigation of gender differences in three facets of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory revealed that observed gender differences were not explained by measurement bias and thus can be interpreted as true sex differences.
Abstract: Despite the widely held belief that men are more narcissistic than women, there has been no systematic review to establish the magnitude, variability across measures and settings, and stability over time of this gender difference. Drawing on the biosocial approach to social role theory, a meta-analysis performed for Study 1 found that men tended to be more narcissistic than women (d = .26; k = 355 studies; N = 470,846). This gender difference remained stable in U.S. college student cohorts over time (from 1990 to 2013) and across different age groups. Study 1 also investigated gender differences in three facets of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) to reveal that the narcissism gender difference is driven by the Exploitative/Entitlement facet (d = .29; k = 44 studies; N = 44,108) and Leadership/Authority facet (d = .20; k = 40 studies; N = 44,739); whereas the gender difference in Grandiose/Exhibitionism (d = .04; k = 39 studies; N = 42,460) was much smaller. We further investigated a less-studied form of narcissism called vulnerable narcissism—which is marked by low self-esteem, neuroticism, and introversion—to find that (in contrast to the more commonly studied form of narcissism found in the DSM and the NPI) men and women did not differ on vulnerable narcissism (d = −.04; k = 42 studies; N = 46,735). Study 2 used item response theory to rule out the possibility that measurement bias accounts for observed gender differences in the three facets of the NPI (N = 19,001). Results revealed that observed gender differences were not explained by measurement bias and thus can be interpreted as true sex differences. Discussion focuses on the implications for the biosocial construction model of gender differences, for the etiology of narcissism, for clinical applications, and for the role of narcissism in helping to explain gender differences in leadership and aggressive behavior. Readers are warned against overapplying small effect sizes to perpetuate gender stereotypes.

TL;DR: The authors explored several types of school contexts (institutional, community, socio-cultural, political, economic, school improvement) and what they have learned about how they shape school leadership practice and found that the need to contextualize leadership highlights deficiencies in modal research.
Abstract: Research on educational leadership and management has resulted in the accumulation of increasingly persuasive findings concerning the impact school leadership can have on school performance. Indeed, there is a growing consensus that there exists a generic set of leadership practices (e.g. goal setting, developing people) which must be adapted to meet the needs and constraints that describe different school contexts. However, to date, researchers have yet to develop a theory or report comprehensive findings on this challenge. This paper explores several types of school contexts (institutional, community, socio-cultural, political, economic, school improvement) and what we have learned about how they shape school leadership practice. The analysis leads to several conclusions and recommendations. First, it affirms, elaborates and extends the assertion made by scholars of the importance of examining leadership in context. Second, the need to contextualize leadership highlights deficiencies in modal research m...

TL;DR: A new 7-dimensional model of self-reported ways of being independent or interdependent is developed and validated across cultures and will allow future researchers to test more accurately the implications of cultural models of selfhood for psychological processes in diverse ecocultural contexts.
Abstract: Markus and Kitayama’s (1991) theory of independent and interdependent self-construals had a major influence on social, personality, and developmental psychology by highlighting the role of culture in psychological processes. However, research has relied excessively on contrasts between North American and East Asian samples, and commonly used self-report measures of independence and interdependence frequently fail to show predicted cultural differences. We revisited the conceptualization and measurement of independent and interdependent self-construals in 2 large-scale multinational surveys, using improved methods for cross-cultural research. We developed (Study 1: N = 2924 students in 16 nations) and validated across cultures (Study 2: N = 7279 adults from 55 cultural groups in 33 nations) a new 7-dimensional model of self-reported ways of being independent or interdependent. Patterns of global variation support some of Markus and Kitayama’s predictions, but a simple contrast between independence and interdependence does not adequately capture the diverse models of selfhood that prevail in different world regions. Cultural groups emphasize different ways of being both independent and interdependent, depending on individualism-collectivism, national socioeconomic development, and religious heritage. Our 7-dimensional model will allow future researchers to test more accurately the implications of cultural models of selfhood for psychological processes in diverse ecocultural contexts.
