The anchoring effect belongs to one of the most extensively studied cognitive biases in judgment and has been shown to be robust in a variety of domains and conditions. This current study on 100 adolescents in Slovakia (aged 16 – 18, 62% females) investigates the role of the anchor relevance and the familiarity of products on one’s willingness-to-pay. The presence of the anchoring and adjustment heuristic has been confirmed in the Slovak cultural environment. The magnitude of the anchoring effect is not affected by previous experience with the product. However, the effect is higher when the anchors are relevant. By this, the effect was higher when the anchor was the price paid by other people, rather than when it was the result of obviously irrelevant mathematical operations.

The aim of this article is to mention the importance of psychology in economic research. It is done by presenting the laureates of the Nobel Prize in economics, who most incorporated psychology to economics. We divide their scientific contribution into three areas: decision theory, markets with asymmetric information and game theory.

Previous research has indicated that certain decision-making styles are associated with decision outcomes. This article focuses specifically on one area of decision outcomes – health-risk behaviour – and examines if decision-making styles explain the variance in risk behaviour over the Big Five factors. Five decision-making styles (rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous) and five types of risk behaviour (alcohol use, internet use, junk food consumption, cigarette smoking, condom use) were identified in 374 university students. The results differ among the types of risk behaviour, although generally, decision-making styles help to improve the models explaining risk behaviour in the case of alcohol use and problematic internet use with the avoidant and dependent styles having the most prominent role.

The first aim of this study was to explore how much variance in the health indicators, emotional well-being (EWB) and depressive symptoms (M-BDI) can be explained by a set of individual and psychosocial factors: gender, social support, self-regulation, perceived stress and resilience. Secondly, this study aimed to explore the indirect effect of perceived stress on mental health indicators through the resilience among university students. The final aim was to test whether this indirect effect is moderated by social support, or, in other words, whether it depends on the level of social support. 237 students from four universities in Eastern Slovakia took part in this study (79.4% females, all aged 18 – 35, mean age 19.94, SD = 1.54). The collection of the data was part of the SLiCE (Student Life Cohort in Europe) research project. This study extends previous research - based knowledge regarding the relationship between perceived stress, resilience and mental health indicators by using a comprehensive model to predict health indicators as well as through the exploration of the indirect effect that perceived stress has on mental health indicators. These findings suggest that students with a higher level of stress perception and lower level of resilience as well as lower social support were exposed to the risk of depressive symptoms development. This supports the importance of resilience enhancing especially among students with lower levels of social support under stressful life conditions. This study contributes to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of perceived stress and mental health by exploring the role of resilience and corroborates the importance of social support and resilience-based intervention. The main limitations of the present study were that all the data were obtained via self-report measures and through online data collection.

Past research has identified a number of stable characteristics affecting goal achievement. However, the role of inter-individual differences in the ways in which an individual reacts to (A) new information and (B) ambiguous situations during the pursuit of personal goals has been overlooked. In the present study (N = 245), we focused on the role of experiential and rational information processing styles (REI-40) and intolerance of uncertainty (IUS-12) in goal progress and crisis that can occur during goal-striving due to the accumulation of setbacks, known as an action crisis. It was found that intolerance of uncertainty predicted an action crisis. Furthermore, rational ability predicted goal progress indirectly, via a subjective assessment of goal attainability. Autonomous motivation did not play a mediating role in the present study, though. These findings extend previous results, which have focused on the role of individual differences in action crisis and highlight the role of intolerance of uncertainty as a potential risk factor for the development of action crisis.
