Social networking usage is one of the most popular online activity today. The social media platforms are a great way and get to know and connect people. With the advent of internet and increasing use of internet technology huge amount of data are being uploaded to the internet today. Through the recent advancement in technology and access of mobile phones and internet with images have become widespread over social media. Users pick their choice of profile pictures; they post their daily routines on the social media platforms through text or images. Their choice of profile pictures and the type of image they post can be highly related to their personality. The purpose of this study is to develop a system which can predict a person's personality based on social media user details. The Big Five Model is the personality model used in this research. This method that integrates image features of user profile picture and analyze the personality traits of individual user. Currently, the lack of existing system to analyze and monitor the user's personality based on image is not being addressed. The goal of this study is to identify the way and extent to which differences in personality, measured using the Big Five model, are related to the choice of profile images. This provides a consistent reduction of a prediction error with respect to personality traits for each model. The results succeeded to outperform the models with the root mean square error ratio of 0.017.

The authors explored personality dimensions of World of Warcraft (WoW) players and
examined the differences between the 44-item personality measure Big Five Inventory
(BFI) and WoW players. The BFI measures personality traits based on the five broad
domains of openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
The authors focused on the specifics of participant’s primary play style (player versus
player [PVP], player versus environment [PVE], or role-playing [RP]), specialization of
the character (tank, healer, damage), character race (13 races), character class (11
classes), and gender as it relates to the BFI personality elements. A total of 1,210 WoW
players, 18 years of age, participated in the study dispersed over 188 WoW realms.
The author’s findings, based on multivariate statistical analysis (MANOVA), establish
a connection between personality characteristics of the BFI and the style of play of the
participants. Gender differences among agreeableness, openness, and neuroticism were
also found, which was consistent with past research (Costa, Terracciano, & McCrae,
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 2001; 81: 322–331; Schmitt, Realo,
Voracek, & Allik, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 2008; 94: 168–182).
No statistical differences were found among other areas of interest including specialization
of the character, character race, and character class. In addition, there was no
support found for antisocial behavior or aggressiveness from personality scores of
WoW players when compared with suggested markers of antisocial personality factors
(Markey & Markey, Review of General Psychology 2010; 14, 82–91).

This research integrates personality management with conflict management and examines the relationship between interpersonal conflict and personality types selected from Big Five model. In general, personality dimensions (extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism) were related to interpersonal conflict. The study was aimed to uncover the moderating role of personalities to reduce conflict. The study was cross sectional and survey research design was used. Correlation, regression
and moderation were applied to analyze the impact of personality traits on interpersonal conflict and their moderating nature. The moderating role of personality is identified as results are significant for conscientiousness and neuroticism whereas insignificant for extraversion.

We tested whether there exist differences in the personality traits of anime fans who cosplay as compared to non-cosplaying anime fans. With regard to the Big Five personality traits, cosplayers scored higher than non-cosplayers on extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. In contrast, non-cosplayers scored higher on emotional stability. The results are discussed with regard to existing research on the personality traits of actors, creativity, and parasocial relationships.

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las relaciones entre los Cinco Grandes factores de la personalidad y las preferencias vocacionales en estudiantes de segundo ciclo de ESO. También se pretende conocer qué grupos vocacionales son mayoritarios y se analizan las diferencias en preferencias vocacionales y personalidad en función del sexo. Para todo ello se utilizó un diseño exploratorio, descriptivo y correlacional y la prueba t-student. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 112 estudiantes de dos institutos públicos de la provincia de Alicante, con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y los 17 años. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el test de personalidad BFQ-NA y el SAV-R. Los resultados mostraron relaciones significativas entre el factor Apertura y el interés humanístico y científico-tecnológico, entre Extraversión y las áreas deportiva y de seguridad y entre Inestabilidad Emocional y los ámbitos psicopedagógico y sociojurídico. También se encontró que las áreas vocacionales preferidas por las mujeres son la psicopedagógica y la biosanitaria y que los hombres se decantan por la deportiva y las fuerzas de seguridad. La Inestabilidad Emocional es el único factor de personalidad en el que se hallaron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres, siendo ellas quienes presentan una mayor inestabilidad.

Drawing from the models of contemporary personality psychology, this qualitative study analyses the characters of Greek mythological heroes as depicted in Homer's Illiad. First, it summarizes the current personality research as well as what psychodiagnostic methods there are for measuring different personality variables. In the next part, the authors describe the procedure they used for the verification of historical and intercultural validity of the personality models outlined earlier. Here they also present the results of their analysis with the conclusion that ancient Greek accounts testify to the universality of human nature throughout ages and cultures. At this point, the study also shows the hypothesized personality profiles of two major heroes, Achilles and Agamemnon. The following part of the article is dedicated to yet another psychological discourse: specifically how and why their motives and behavioural tendencies might cause clashes in their interaction, and also what occupational options they would probably face nowadays. Interdisciplinary in its nature, the paper finishes with the implications of the results for philosophy.

This article develops a comprehensive philosophy-of-science for personality psychology that goes far beyond the scope of the lexical approaches, assessment methods, and trait concepts that currently prevail. One of the field’s most important guiding scientific assumptions, the lexical hypothesis, is analysed from meta-theoretical viewpoints to reveal that it explicitly describes two sets of phenomena that must be clearly differentiated: 1) lexical repertoires and the representations that they encode and 2) the kinds of phenomena that are represented. Thus far, personality psychologists largely explored only the former, but have seriously neglected studying the latter. Meta-theoretical analyses of these different kinds of phenomena and their distinct natures, commonalities, differences, and interrelations reveal that personality psychology’s focus on lexical approaches, assessment methods, and trait concepts entails a) erroneous meta-theoretical assumptions about what the phenomena being studied actually are, and thus how they can be analysed and interpreted, b) that contemporary personality psychology is largely based on everyday psychological knowledge, and c) a fundamental circularity in the scientific explanations used in trait psychology. These findings seriously challenge the widespread assumptions about the causal and universal status of the phenomena described by prominent personality models. The current state of knowledge about the lexical hypothesis is reviewed, and implications for personality psychology are discussed. Ten desiderata for future research are outlined to overcome the current paradigmatic fixations that are substantially hampering intellectual innovation and progress in the field.

Life satisfaction of an educator is very important for his quality work in the context of early and preschool education. Given the importance of this topic and its neglect in the existing scientific research, the aim of this study was to analyze the life satisfaction of preschool teachers and the effects of personality traits on their life satisfaction mediated by burnout. Considering previous research, a direct effect of extraversion and neuroticism on life satisfaction was expected and effects of these personality traits were expected to be mediated by professional burnout. 295 preschool teachers have been examined (4 of which were males) from all parts of Croatia, with the average age of 37 years. Self-rating scales tested three variables: Life Satisfaction Scale, Big Five Inventory and Maslach’s Burnout Inventory. The results showed significant direct effects of extraversion and neuroticism on preschool teachers’ life satisfaction, confirming the findings of previous studies. Besides the direct effects, extraversion has an indirect positive effect on life satisfaction by reducing emotional exhaustion, while neuroticism has an indirect negative effect on life satisfaction by increasing the emotional exhaustion and perception of reduced personal accomplishment. Openness and conscientiousness have only indirect positive effects on life satisfaction by decreasing a diminishing sense of reduced personal achievement. Depersonalization showed no significant independent contribution to the explanation of life satisfaction, independent of the other predictors' (personality) or mediating variables. These findings are analyzed in the context of the complexity of the examined variables and their relationships, and the importance of their further examination with regard to the role of preschool teachers in the process of early learning and teaching. Zadovoljstvo životom jednog odgojitelja vrlo je važno za njegov kvalitetan rad u kontekstu ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja. S obzirom na činjenicu da istraživanja na uzorcima odgojitelja uglavnom nisu bila ranije provođena, cilj je ovog rada bio analizirati zadovoljstvo životom odgojitelja te eventualne učinke osobina ličnosti na zadovoljstvo životom posredovane profesionalnim sagorijevanjem. Prema rezultatima se dosadašnjih istraživanja očekivao izravan učinak ekstraverzije i neuroticizma na zadovoljstvo životom te značajno posredovanje profesionalnog sagorijevanja na učinke ovih osobina ličnosti. Ispitano je 295 odgojitelja (od toga 4 muškog spola) iz cijele Hrvatske, prosječne dobi 37 godina. Tri varijable ispitane su upitnicima samoprocjene: Skalom zadovoljstva životom, Petofaktorskim upitnikom ličnosti i Maslachin upitnikom sagorijevanja. Rezultati su pokazali značajne izravne efekte ekstraverzije i neuroticizma na zadovoljstvo životom odgojitelja, što je potvrdilo nalaze dosadašnjih istraživanja. Osim izravnih efekata ekstraverzija ima i posredan pozitivan efekt na zadovoljstvo životom posredovan smanjenjem emocionalne iscrpljenosti, dok neuroticizam ima posredan negativan efekt na zadovoljstvo životom kroz povećanje emocionalne iscrpljenosti i percepciju smanjenoga osobnog postignuća. Otvorenost i savjesnost imaju samo posredne pozitivne efekte na zadovoljstvo životom umanjujući osjećaj smanjenoga osobnog postignuća. Depersonalizacija nije pokazala značajan samostalan doprinos objašnjenju zadovoljstva životom, neovisan o ostalim prediktorskim (ličnost) i medijacijskim varijablama. Utvrđeni su nalazi analizirani u kontekstu složenosti ispitanih varijabli i njihovih međusobnih odnosa, kao i važnosti njihova daljnjeg ispitivanja s obzirom na važnost uloge odgojitelja u procesu ranog učenja i poučavanja.

Relying on a recent re-conceptualization of psychosis proneness as a personality trait, its relations with the Big Five traits were investigated in a meta-analytic study. This reconceptualized trait – named Disintegration – is articulated as a broad, hierarchically organized, nine-faceted behavioral disposition. Disintegration is postulated to be a basic personality trait distinct from the Big Five traits. In accordance with this conceptualization, all the articles considered for this meta-analysis carry information on the relationship between Disintegration-like phenomena (referring to various aspects of symptomatology with prefix ‘schizo-’, both at the clinical and the
sub-clinical level), and at least one Big Five trait. The benchmark for assuming distinctness of the trait Disintegration was .40, based on the meta-analytically derived correlations found among the Big Five traits. By computing inverse sampling variance weighted mean correlation coefficients under a random-effects assumption, the following associations were found between Disintegration and N, E, O, A, and C, respectively: .24, −.27, 0, −.19, and −13. The differences in true correlations between the studies were substantial for each coefficient. Three variables were found to moderate Disintegration–personality correlations. The finding about the distinctness of Disintegration from other personality traits can have repercussions on the taxonomy of traits.

Taxonomic “personality” models are widely used in research and applied fields. This article applies the Transdisciplinary Philosophy-of-Science Paradigm for Research on Individuals (TPS-Paradigm) to scrutinise the three methodological steps that are required for developing comprehensive “personality” taxonomies: 1) the approaches used to select the phenomena and events to be studied, 2) the methods used to generate data about the selected phenomena and events and 3) the reduction principles used to extract the “most important” individual-specific variations for constructing “personality” taxonomies. Analyses of some currently popular taxonomies reveal frequent mismatches between the researchers’ explicit and implicit metatheories about “personality” and the abilities of previous methodologies to capture the particular kinds of phenomena toward which they are targeted. Serious deficiencies that preclude scientific quantifications are identified in standardised questionnaires, psychology’s established standard method of investigation. These mismatches and deficiencies derive from the lack of an explicit formulation and critical reflection on the philosophical and metatheoretical assumptions being made by scientists and from the established practice of radically matching the methodological tools to researchers’ preconceived ideas and to pre-existing statistical theories rather than to the particular phenomena and individuals under study. These findings raise serious doubts about the ability of previous taxonomies to appropriately and comprehensively reflect the phenomena towards which they are targeted and the structures of individual-specificity occurring in them. The article elaborates and illustrates with empirical examples methodological principles that allow researchers to appropriately meet the metatheoretical requirements and that are suitable for comprehensively exploring individuals' “personality”.

Scientists exploring individuals, as such scientists are individuals themselves and thus not independent from their objects of research, encounter profound challenges; in particular, high risks for anthropo-, ethno- and ego-centric biases and various fallacies in reasoning. The Transdisciplinary Philosophy-of-Science Paradigm for Research on Individuals (TPS-Paradigm) aims to tackle these challenges by exploring and making explicit the philosophical presuppositions that are being made and the metatheories and methodologies that are used in the field. This article introduces basic fundamentals of the TPS-Paradigm including the epistemological principle of complementarity and metatheoretical concepts for exploring individuals as living organisms. Centrally, the TPS-Paradigm considers three metatheoretical properties (spatial location in relation to individuals’ bodies, temporal extension, and physicality versus “non-physicality”) that can be conceived in different forms for various kinds of phenomena explored in individuals (morphology, physiology, behaviour, the psyche, semiotic representations, artificially modified outer appearances and contexts). These properties, as they determine the phenomena’s accessibility in everyday life and research, are used to elaborate philosophy-of-science foundations and to derive general methodological implications for the elementary problem of phenomenon-methodology matching and for scientific quantification of the various kinds of phenomena studied. On the basis of these foundations, the article explores the metatheories and methodologies that are used or needed to empirically study each given kind of phenomenon in individuals in general. Building on these general implications, the article derives special implications for exploring individuals’ “personality”, which the TPS-Paradigm conceives of as individual-specificity in all of the various kinds of phenomena studied in individuals.

Personality research has approached a salient consensus step due to widespread use of individual differences, converging on five big model factors with marketing concept. This paper clarifies a market mavenism psychology concept and relates market mavens with big five factor model. Market Mavens are consumer which have tendency to become especially involved in the marketplace. The purpose of this research is to contribute to identify prominent personality traits of market maven through big five model and attempts an in- depth investigation to provide guidance for manager so that they can more effectively appeal to consumers who possess this tendency. 146 questionnaires were distributed and have analyzed. Multiple linear regression is used to analyze the effects of five big model traits on market mavens dependent variable. As a result, Extraversion and Openness and Conscientiousness are the three significant characteristic which highlights in their personality traits. Theoretically, ...

There is ample evidence that morphological and social cues in a human face provide signals of human personality and behaviour. Previous studies have discovered associations between the features of artificial composite facial images and attributions of personality traits by human experts. We present new findings demonstrating the statistically significant prediction of a wider set of personality features (all the Big Five personality traits) for both men and women using real-life static facial images. Volunteer participants (N = 12,447) provided their face photographs (31,367 images) and completed a self-report measure of the Big Five traits. We trained a cascade of artificial neural networks (ANNs) on a large labelled dataset to predict self-reported Big Five scores. The highest correlations between observed and predicted personality scores were found for conscientiousness (0.360 for men and 0.335 for women) and the mean effect size was 0.243, exceeding the results obtained in prior studies using ‘selfies’. The findings strongly support the possibility of predicting multidimensional personality profiles from static facial images using ANNs trained on large labelled datasets. Future research could investigate the relative contribution of morphological features of the face and other characteristics of facial images to predicting personality.

The Townsend Personality Questionnaire (TPQ®) is developed for both personal as well as workplace development of people. Unlike most assessments that are based on theories of personality that have resulted from one particular psychologist's theory and opinion about human nature, the TPQ® is based on the Five-Factor model - a concept that it is founded on the idea that five main factors are necessary and sufficient for broadly describing human personality.
The TPQ® is based on language and the ‘natural’ systems that people use to understand one another. “… Language is the one ingredient that all theories have in common. So, it is from language itself, and not theories, that we must extract the source metaphor for describing personality” Howard & Howard, 2004.
The questionnaire was developed by Dr Gary C. Townsend of Skillworx Africa (Pty) Ltd.
The TPQ® is a shift from the old bi-modal distribution type, four dimensional models to a distinctly different and more scientifically appropriate model. This new paradigm involves:
• Five dimensions of personality
• A normal distribution of scores on these dimensions
• An emphasis on individual personality traits as opposed to type
• Preferences indicated by a strength of score
• A model based on experience, not theory
The data are grouped into five Personality Dimensions (Extraversion (E), Sociability (S), Constancy (C), Conscientiousness (Co), Originality (O)) and thirty facets. These dimensions represent the most common behavioural styles exhibited by people in general and are comprised of the typical behaviours (facets) constituting each dimension. In the TPQ® report, each dimension is defined and the data analysis on each facet is used to provide a targeted approach to personality style.

In three studies of fan communities we examined differences in the Big Five personality traits between fans’ personal and fan identities. In all three studies, self-identified furries completed a measure of the Big Five personality traits for both their personal and furry identity. In Study 1, furries were found to rate all five dimensions higher when referring to their furry (vs. personal) identity. In Study 2 we replicated these results and further found that the effect was not limited to furries: sport fans also reported different personality ratings when referring to their fan or personal identity. In Study 3, we again replicated the results while testing predictors of personality differences between salient identities. A path model showed that felt connection to one’s fandom identity predicted greater frequency of fandom identity salience, which, in turn, predicted greater personality disparity between identities. Taken together, the results suggest the role of the social identity perspective in explaining inconsistencies in personality.

The following study aims to verify whether psychosocial risk conditions determine a variation in personality traits. The sample consisted of 301 teachers, comprising 84 men (27.1%) and 217 women (72.9%). The Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ) was used to measure personality traits, while the Organizational and Psychosocial Risk Assessment (OPRA) questionnaire was used to measure psychosocial risk. The ANOVA results notice the change of BFQ traits. These are significant (Extraversion = 0.000; Agreeableness = 0.001; Neuroticism = 0.000; Openness = 0.017), with the exception of the Conscientiousness trait (Conscientiousness = 0.213). The research supports the approach of seeing personality as the result of the interaction between the individual and the environment; this position is also recognized by work-related stress literature. Stress conditions can lead to a change in the state of health and possibly determine the onset of work-related stress diseases. In the future, it would be useful to start a series of longitudinal studies to understand in greater detail the variability of personality traits due to changes in the Risk Index.

The Big Five Inventory (BFI) is a self-report measure designed to assess the high-order personality traits of Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, the BFI was translated from English into 28 languages and administered to 17,837 individuals from 56 nations. The resulting cross-cultural data set was used to address three main questions: Does the factor structure of the English BFI fully replicate across cultures? How valid are the BFI trait profiles of individual nations? And how are personality traits distributed throughout the world? The five-dimensional structure was robust across major regions of the world. Trait levels were related in predictable ways to self-esteem, sociosexuality, and national personality profiles. People from the geographic regions of South America and East Asia were significantly different in openness from those inhabiting other world regions. The discussion focu...

Assessment of the personalities of medical students not only aids the formulation of strategies for the best development of academic and clinical competencies but can also inform the process of selecting medical practitioners. The hypothesis tested was that medical students have distinct personality profiles that reflect the nature of the selection process. Two groups of French medical students were compared using the Big Five Inventory (BFI) to measure personality: an unselected group of Year 1 medical students (n = 1332; mean age 19.4 years ± 1.4; 68% females) and a group of academically successful Year 3 students (n = 403; mean age 21.3 ± 1.6; 65% female). The data collected further enabled comparisons in an international context where medical students were selected using different procedures. Year 3 French medical students, who represent only the top 15% of students initially admitted into the medical course, scored lower on two personality dimensions than the unselected Year 1 ...

A series of skills are more and more valued in the educational context than cognitive ones. The constructs of creativity and socio-emotional competencies are some of them and were the focus of the study. The aim was to investigate the relationship between both constructs in 362 students from the 3rd (n = 168) and 5th year (n = 194) of Elementary School. That sample was composed of 8 and 15-year-old students (M = 10.3; SD = 1.33) and 180 female, from 13 different municipal public schools in Pernambuco, Brazil. The students answered two creativity tests (figural and verbal) and another that assesses six socio-emotional competencies (openness to experiences, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, external locus of control, and neuroticism). The results indicated significant and positive correlations between figural creativity and three socio-emotional competencies (conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experiences, and locus of control) and between verbal creativity and two socio-emotional dimensions (conscientiousness and agreeableness). Although constructs have shown some commonality, the importance of stimulating both in the educational context is relevant, given the positive results related to these skills, considered essential in the 21st century.

This research conduct to test the role of conscientiousness and attitude towards traffic announcer point system explain safe ride intention. The method applied in this research was colleration quantitative method with attitude towards TAPS as mediator. Sample in this research were students in Brawijaya University as much as 129 students consist of Management, Psychology, Informatika Engineering, Electrical Engineering. Data analysis technique used in this research is the analysis of simple mediation technique Andrew F. Hayes (2013). The result found that the direct effect (b=0,340; p=0,001) becomes significant after include mediation effect or indirect effect (b=0,252; p=0,001) with c' coefficient become decrease b = 0,252 (c'<c) and p value =0,001. This result indicates that the attitude toward traffic announcer point system become partial mediator conscientiousness to explain safe ride intention. There are another factor who can be mediator between variabels in this research. Further discussion will be presented in this research.

By applying classifications and personality types which are set by personality theories, this paper describes personality traits which are deemed as necessary or at least as desirable for a person involved in the sales process. Recognition of the requested personality traits is shown in the selection process which all candidates for sales position in Tele2 Croatia must take. Due to the complexity of entire sales discipline, the evaluation process does not stop with the selection of the candidate. Sales representatives are rather exposed to further testing even after being hired in the company. Since personal development is so important, as well as development of further expertise, sales person constantly takes different trainings and workshops. Besides personal development of an individual, the goal of those workshops is gaining information on the candidate which is then used for further profiling of sales persons.

Using a new framework that includes entrepreneurship, professionalism and professionalism as different dimensions of subjective career space, we investigated whether different kinds of people are motivated towards entrepreneurial as compared to organizational leadership or specialized professional work-roles. Correlations from two samples of 396 and 272 undergraduates indicate personality traits have more similar relationships with both entrepreneurial and leadership than with professional work-role motivations. Specifically, while the Big Five personality traits, low risk aversion and proactive personality correlate with entrepreneurial and leadership motivations, high risk aversion correlate with the motivation for more vocationally-based, professional work. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicate that whether proactive personality and risk aversion add to the prediction of entrepreneurial, professional and leadership motivations beyond the Big Five depends on the Big Five measure used and sampling differences. Overall, this study fills a gap in the comparative appreciation of the role of traits in leadership and entrepreneurial emergence, which has resulted from the historic separation of both research fields, and has implications for the entrepreneurial and/or leadership development of professionals in organizations.

The Big Five Inventory (BFI) is a self-report measure designed to assess the high-order personality traits of Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, the BFI was translated from English into 28 languages and administered to 17,837 individuals from 56 nations. The resulting cross-cultural data set was used to address three main questions: Does the factor structure of the English BFI fully replicate across cultures? How valid are the BFI trait profiles of individual nations? And how are personality traits distributed throughout the world? The five-dimensional structure was robust across major regions of the world. Trait levels were related in predictable ways to self-esteem, sociosexuality, and national personality profiles. People from the geographic regions of South America and East Asia were significantly different in openness from those inhabiting other world regions. The discussion focu...

The popularity of social media has drawn the attention of researchers who have conducted cross-disciplinary studies examining the relationship between personality traits and behavior on social media. Most current work focuses on personality prediction analysis of English texts, but Indonesian has received scant attention. Therefore, this research aims to predict user's personalities based on Indonesian text from social media using machine learning techniques. This paper evaluates several machine learning techniques, including naive Bayes (NB), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), and support vector machine (SVM), based on semantic features including emotion, sentiment, and publicly available Twitter profile. We predict the personality based on the Big Five personality model, the most appropriate model for predicting user personality in social media. We examine the relationships between the semantic features and the Big Five personality dimensions. The experimental results indicate that the Big Five personality exhibit distinct emotional, sentimental, and social characteristics and that SVM outperformed NB and KNN for Indonesian. In addition, we observe several terms in Indonesian that specifically refer to each personality type, each of which has distinct emotional, sentimental, and social features.

Life satisfaction of an educator is very important for his quality work in the context of early and preschool education. Given the importance of this topic and its neglect in the existing scientific research, the aim of this study was to analyze the life satisfaction of preschool teachers and the effects of personality traits on their life satisfaction mediated by burnout. Considering previous research, a direct effect of extraversion and neuroticism on life satisfaction was expected and effects of these personality traits were expected to be mediated by professional burnout. 295 preschool teachers have been examined (4 of which were males) from all parts of Croatia, with the average age of 37 years. Self-rating scales tested three variables: Life Satisfaction Scale, Big Five Inventory and Maslach’s Burnout Inventory. The results showed significant direct effects of extraversion and neuroticism on preschool teachers’ life satisfaction, confirming the findings of previous studies. Be...
