Light and Dark core of personality and the adherence to COVID-19 containment measures: The roles of motivation and trust in government.
Article in Acta psychologica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between the Light and Dark Core of personality and self-reported adherence to COVID-19 containment measures. A gender-balanced representative sample of 600 Slovaks participated in the study. We formulated a mediation model, hypothesising that the relationship between Light and Dark Core and self-reported adherence is mediated by the motivation to comply with the measures. The results of structural equation modelling showed that self-reported adherence was positively related to the Light Core and this relationship was also mediated by motivation. The Dark Core, in turn, showed a negative relationship with the adherence, while no mediation was found. Importantly, the findings of both Light and Dark Core models remained robust after including trust in government. The present study contributes to theory by providing first results corroborating the existence of Light Core of personality. The findings of this study can also help to better shape the communications about containment measures to address both individuals with high levels of benevolent and malevolent traits.
