The Belief in a Just World
In this collection I gather (mostly) psychological studies devoted to people’s fundamental belief that the world is just. This construct, it seems to me, quite strongly affects our perception of the world and, importantly, our reaction to ongoing events — especially when we start blaming others, guided implicitly by precisely this motive. The collection includes both curated works, which at some point I read carefully and can say something sensible about, and new works being published on the topic.

The Reproducibility Crisis in Psychology
We are used to treating science as a source of knowledge that can be trusted a priori. But is this really the case? How much can we trust the results of psychological studies when making important decisions about our mental health and well-being. This collection contains articles devoted to checking psychological experiments — how well they can be replicated. In doing so, I examine two independent cohorts of studies: the reproducibility of the experiments themselves within large independent studies, as well as the reproducibility of meta-analyses. The latter are especially relevant, since the media often refer specifically to their conclusions.

Narrative coherence in life stories
The essential papers that built our understanding of how people turn lived experience into coherent stories — and why that coherence matters for identity. From Linde's life stories as linguistic acts, through McAdams' narrative identity framework, to Habermas and Bluck's developmental account of the life story — this collection traces how the field learned to see personality not as a set of traits, but as a story being told.
