The Normative Judgment Test of Honesty-Humility: An Implicit Instrument for Organizational Contexts

Dan Asfar, Janneke K. Oostrom, Mark Van Vugt, Marise Born

Summary: Implicit instruments have great potential in assessing traits, motives, and attitudes in organizational contexts. The Normative Judgment Test-Honesty-Humility (NJT-HH) is a partially-structured attitude measure that showed positive correlations with Honesty-Humility and no significant relationships with other HEXACO traits. NJT-HH scores were also positively correlated with PSAM scores of honesty and unrelated to PSAMs of dissimilar constructs. Additionally, NJT-HH scores were negatively related to counterproductive work behavior and positively related to organizational citizenship behavior and task performance, explaining unique variance beyond Honesty-Humility and other HEXACO traits. These findings provide initial evidence supporting the practical value of the NJT-HH in organizational contexts.

Forensic neuropsychiatric aspects of epilepsy

Roy G. Beran, Manish A. Fozdar

Summary: Automatisms in epilepsy can be classified as either "sane" or "insane", where the former is caused by external factors and the latter is inherent to the individual. Claiming automatism in a criminal case requires careful evaluation of the behavior exhibited and questioning its intentional nature. Contrary to popular belief, epilepsy itself is not associated with increased violence, as supported by epidemiological research.

Self-compassionate reflective writing for affect regulation in Australian perinatal women

Bronwyn M. Angus, Lauren L. Saling, Robyn L. Moffitt

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a brief online self-compassionate reflective writing task on affect regulation among perinatal women in Australia. The results showed that post-intervention, participants had higher scores in state self-compassion and intention to engage in self-care behavior, and lower scores in negative affect. Furthermore, participants found the task helpful due to factors such as the written format, change in perspective, dedicated time for reflection, improved mood, and practicing self-kindness. These findings suggest that self-compassionate reflective writing can be a brief and accessible psychosocial approach that promotes healthy emotion regulation and coping among perinatal women.
