Magdalena Żemojtel-Piotrowska

Magdalena Żemojtel-Piotrowska is a Professor at the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University. Her research focuses on cross-cultural psychology, political self-enhancement (particularly narcissism and entitlement), subjective well-being, and beliefs about the social world. She has contributed extensively to understanding the psychological mechanisms underlying cultural differences, pandemic-related behaviors, and the interplay between personality traits and societal attitudes.

Her work integrates quantitative methodologies with cross-cultural perspectives, analyzing constructs such as the Dark Triad, collective narcissism, and spiritual transcendence. Key areas include measurement invariance of psychological scales across cultures, the role of entitlement in interpersonal dynamics, and the psychological impacts of global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Publications highlight themes such as narcissism’s relationship with war attitudes, psychedelic use, and pandemic stress responses. She collaborates internationally, evidenced by her 59 publications and h-index scores of 17 (Scopus) and 19 (Web of Science). Her research emphasizes validating psychological theories across diverse populations while addressing contemporary societal challenges.

Dr. Żemojtel-Piotrowska maintains an active academic presence through her institutional homepage and ORCID profile, emphasizing accessible communication via email. Her contributions bridge theoretical psychology with applied research, offering insights into how cultural, personality, and value systems shape human behavior globally.
