In the Mind of the Beholder Dataset.

The file contains survey data from N = 911 participants. The 37 TCI-Items have been generated to measure individual differences on four temporal coping strategies: Impermanence focus, present centeredness, positive temporal refocussing, and negative temporal contrasting. The data has been analysed to develope the final 20-item version of the Temporal Coping Inventory. The file contains sociodemographic information, such as age, gender, education, but also biographical information (critical life events, acute level of distress), and a rough measure for time perspective.

There are three datasets corresponding to three experiments exploring the effects of environmental cues on prosociality. The authors focused on two overarching environmental factors: unpredictability, which represents the variability of extrinsic threats, and competition, which represents the relevance of others' relative performance to one's fitness. Method: In each experiment, participants were exposed to cues of unpredictability and/or competition before assessment of spontaneous prosocial behaviors (Studies 1 and 2) or prosocial judgments in dual-choice dilemmas (Study 3). We also took into account the interaction between the two environmental factors and two moderators, namely resource availability and prosocial thinking types. Main Results: unpredictable cues generally led to lower prosocial behaviors and fewer prosocial judgments (Studies 2 & 3). In contrast, competitive cues led to lower prosocial behaviors among individuals with resource disadvantages (Study 1), and when combined with unpredictable cues (Study 2), but also led to higher prosocial behaviors among individuals with resource advantages (Study 1) and more prosocial judgments in response to rational, utilitarian dilemmas (Study 3). Taken together, these results indicated that human prosociality is affected by environmental factors in predictable ways.

Data sets used for Study 1 and 3. In the present multi-sample mixed method study, we developed a novel assessment tool of youth wellbeing, the Multidimensional Wellbeing in Youth Scale (MWYS). In Study 1, an online survey study among Dutch-speaking adolescents and young adults (N = 339, Mage = 18.44 years, SD = 3.53, 79 % females) was conducted to inspect which initial MWYS-items were viewed as being important for their wellbeing. In Study 2, we co-evaluated the original MWYS-items and co-created new items with adolescents and young adults (N = 25) via focus groups. In Study 3, we examined the validity and reliability of the updated MWYS in a new sample of Dutch-speaking adolescents and young adults (N = 239, Mage = 19.68 years, SD = 4.40, 68 % females). Principal Components Analyses revealed five preliminary components of adolescent wellbeing: 1) having impact, purpose, and meaning; 2) dealing with stress and worry; 3) family relationships; 4) self-confidence; and 5) feeling respected, appreciated, and loved. These MWYS-components were related to other measures of mental health and wellbeing, and the MWYS showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. In conclusion, the MWYS was found to be a valid and reliable measure of youth wellbeing.
