“…These findings tell us about the determining influence of sociocultural factors, including closeness of cultural identities with host societies (of which confession and/or religion are some of the aspects). Similar conclusions were also reached by Volodko [14] and Brycz [15].…”

This paper studies the relationships between religion and migration in modern-day Ukraine. We focus on Ukraine's numerous churches and their attitude toward the phenomenon of emigration, their relevant activities with regard to the outward migration from the country, and the migration experiences and intentions of the believers. We find that the Greek Catholic Church has put special attention on the emigration phenomenon in its social doctrine, while the doctrines of other churches have been less elaborate, both in general terms and with regard to the issue of external migration in particular. Moreover, we demonstrate that worshippers belonging to the different churches have very similar growing concerns about the negative effects of Ukraine's economic development-social divide and unemployment in particular.

“…As mothers are still the primary caregivers in Poland (Plomien, 2009), they are likely to be particularly affected by the lack of formal support. In addition, the rapid growth of individualistic values in Poland (Brycz et al, 2015) has led to a decrease in the informal support that mothers of previous generations could rely on in a more collectivist society. For example, there has been a decline in the number of grandparents involved in caring for their grandchildren in Poland in recent years (Kotowska et al, 2016).…”

In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when one holds egalitarian values and raising a child in a country characterized by a high level of gender equality in other areas, increases mothers’ psychological distress in the specific area of parenting. Multilevel modeling analyses computed among 11,538 mothers from 40 countries confirmed this prediction: high egalitarian values at the individual level and high gender equality at the societal level are associated with higher burnout levels in mothers. The associations hold beyond differences in sociodemographic characteristics at the individual level and beyond economic disparities at the societal level. These findings show the importance of egalitarian values and gender equality and their paradoxical effect when inequalities are still present in specific areas as parenting. This study reveals the crucial need to act not only at the micro level but also at the macro level to promote gender equality in parenting and prevent parental burnout.

“…In addition, those from collectivist cultures were less likely to overestimate their future prosocial behaviors [47,48] and were more accurate when forecasting their own behavior [49]. Respondents from collectivist countries including Vietnam, Japan, China, and India in comparison to individualist countries like the Unites States, England, and Spain showed greater levels of insight into their own biases [50].…”

Sociocultural Orientation and Perceived Utility of Base Rates in Self and Social Judgments of Cyber Risk

Despite ground-breaking technological advances, scientists still have difficulty patching one of the most threatening bugs in the cyber world: human error. Individuals constitute a unique vulnerability in cybersecurity because they systematically make errors when perceiving their own risk. Specifically, individuals underestimate their own susceptibility to cyber-attacks. Among the most common ways companies seek to improve security is presenting clients and employees with base rate information on the prevalence of cyber threats and the likelihood of the general population to succumb to them. This strategy is intended to increase the accuracy with which clients and employees assess their threat levels. However, outcomes typically fall short of this goal. We review the differential use of base rate information as a cognitive and motivational bias that contributes to forecasting errors and accuracy in self and social risk assessment. We also examine two dimensions of sociocultural orientation: individualism-collectivism and tightness-looseness-and their potential influence on the use of base rate information. We discuss implications for interventions that could mitigate the threat of cyber-attacks
