Our study on relations between darkntraits and intimate partner cyberviolence on @psypost.bsky.social 👇

It’s not just dark traits — it’s how people cope that explains health outcomes Secondary psychopathy emerged as the strongest risk factor, while narcissistic admiration and primary psychopathy showed protective patterns The key mechanism 👉 emotion-oriented coping doi.org/10.1002/ijop...

More research from our students! How gender and relationship status shape real, ideal, and false self-presentation on social media? 👉Single women reported more impression-management oriented self-presentation compared to women in a relationship

Proud to mentor Kristina Puzović and her study presented at the conference Empowering Potential for Preventive Activities in the Community in Osijek It’s always rewarding to support young researchers as they develop ideas, refine methods and gain confidence in sharing their work

Our paper is out!📄 Are men and women equally likely to engage in cyber intimate partner violence? How dark traits help explain who is more likely to perpetrate this violence? Full text: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/R5MGT...

Thanks to YouthDMH COST Action and my host, Esra, for the opportunity to expand my knowledge and skills in conducting a systematic review

The first YouTube podcast ISSID INSIGHTS highlights our research published in #PAID @elsevierconnect.bsky.social. We applied a newly developed procedure based on network analysis to evaluate measurement invariance of the Short Dark Triad across 14 cultures 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=g241...

Finally arrived! I would like to thank the big international team from 14 countries and members of #TRIBES #COSTAction for pull this out, and this is only the beginning of our joint work.

Ready for ISSID conference, see you in Vienna!

🚨New paper alert! We explored the network invariance of Short Dark Triad across 14 cultures using novel approach based on exploratory graph analysis. 🌎Unique features of each trait are universal, but others (revenge, entitlement) vary doi.org/10.1016/j.pa... @atomashevic.bsky.social

🆕Just published! The Machiavellian Approach and Avoidance Questionnaire gets a deeper look—validated across Germany, Canada, UK, Serbia with 1,800+ participants Findings challenge the boundary between Machiavellianism and psychopathy 👀 📄 doi.org/10.1080/0022...

🚨 New publication in Sexual Abuse We explored psychometric properties of two instruments for measuring rape myth acceptance 📊 IRMA-S-2022 for deeper insights into the subcategories of rape myths 📊 newly developed brief 9-item RMQ-S 📖 doi.org/10.1177/1079...

Our study in PsyPost 👇 We found interesting results and debunked the myth of the Dark Empath

🧠 Great talk by @simine.com on "Where are the self-correcting mechanisms in science?" at the 27th Bujas Psychology Days conference in Zagreb. Thought-provoking and timely! Can't wait to hear more about the SPPSPSSPP project.

My students will be presenting our work at the 27th Bujas Days in Zagreb! We developed a scale measuring attitudes toward obesity – excited to share it!

Full professor – level unlocked! 🎓🚀 All the latest versions of papers, R syntax warnings, late-night marathons through seminar papers and tests, desk rejects, reviewers asking you to prove God, and a never-ending supply of coffee to get here

🚨Check our new paper! Parental dark traits shape parenting and adolescent behavior, but in Serbia's more traditional culture, context like poverty and past trauma adds a surprising twist. Great collaboration with Lauren Ferguson, Kostas Papageorgiou, and Tayler Truhan 🤝

I am exited to propose and lead cross-national research on the individual and social factors of religious-based cyberbullying within @orbitcostaction.bsky.social Stay tuned!

🚨New method in studying old relations! 🚨 Are Dark Triad traits differently related to self-reported and task-performance domains of emotional functioning? 👇 t.co/Wxi9MdrMWW Thanks to Beata Grabovac and @atomashevic.bsky.social for the fruitful collaboration

🧠🧬New paper alert! Our twin study reveals that personality traits and executive functions share strong genetic roots. Some facets from Openness & Conscientiousness show the highest genetic links, highlighting the need for a more nuanced approach. 👇 rdcu.be/d8ejM

Men consistently score higher on Machiavellianism than women, but this gap widens in more gender-equal countries because women’s scores decrease, while men’s scores remain stable regardless of societal gender… #GenderEquality #WomenEmpowerment #Machiavellianism #SocialPsychology #PersonalityTraits

🎉Thrilled to share our new paper! We tested cross-national validity of the Machiavellian Approach and Avoidance Questionnaire (MAAQ) across Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, and Serbia 👇 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
