Organizational Soundscapes and the Sonicity of Voices: The Power of the ‘Sounds’ that Carry ‘Words’

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 2305-2331, September 2026.
Abstract Organizations are soundscapes – they resonate with sounds and particularly the sounds of voices.

Competitive Interfacial Partitioning in Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide Self‐Assembly: A Coarse‐Grained Study Across Deep Eutectic Solvents

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Martini coarse‐grained simulations probe solvent–surfactant interactions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in choline chloride‐based deep eutectic solvents containing glycerol or urea.

Mentalizing and Attachment From Infancy to Young Adulthood: Insights From the Metera Adoption Study

open access: yesPersonality and Mental Health, Volume 20, Issue 3, August 2026.

open access: yesPersonality and Mental Health, Volume 20, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Since its origins in recent diagnostic perspectives, the concept of personality functioning has been exclusively defined as a general factor of personality (pathology). Researchers have justified this definition by appealing to descriptive empirical findings (e.g., positive correlations among various personality disorder indicators) or ...

Assumptions and Consequences of Different Conceptualizations of Personality Functioning

open access: yesPersonality and Mental Health, Volume 20, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Personality functioning (PF) is the defining criterion for personality disorder in contemporary diagnosis and a popular topic in research. However, research and dialogue on PF has been uneven and often ideologically driven, in part because semantic differences are often conflated with substantive differences in the way PF is conceptualized ...

Psychoanalytic Theories Do Not Support a Unidimensional View of Personality Functioning

open access: yesPersonality and Mental Health, Volume 20, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary researchers tend to invoke psychoanalytic theories to support the view of personality functioning as a “unitary capacity” involving “psychological maturity.” In this piece, I argue against this false equivalence by raising three points.
