The aim of this study was to elucidate the psychological dynamics of marital relationships, which are among the most significant structures of society. The purpose of research was to examine the mediating roles of borderline and narcissistic personality traits in the relationship between object relations and marital adjustment, relationship satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction. The study group consisted of adult individuals aged 18 and older. Of the total 809 participants, 407 (50.3%) are female and 402 (49.7%) are male, all of whom are married. 320 participants are in the 18-30 age range, 318 are in the 31-45 age range, and 171 are 45 years old and above. Marriage Adjustment Scale, Relationship Satisfaction Scale (RSS), Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale (GRSS) Female-Male Form, Bell Object Relations and Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI), Borderline Personality Inventory, and Narcissistic Personality Inventory were used as data collection instruments in the study. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27 program. Pearson Correlation Test and Process Macro 4.2 analysis methods were used. According to the research findings, a negative relationship was found between object relations and relationship satisfaction, marital adjustment, and sexual satisfaction. A positive relationship was identified between object relations and borderline and narcissistic personality traits. Furthermore, negative relationships were found between borderline and narcissistic personality traits and marital adjustment, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction. Finally, the mediation analyses conducted within the framework of the main purpose of the research, determined that object relations significantly predicted relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, and marital adjustment, borderline and narcissistic personality traits partially mediated this relationship. Thus, the proposed model was supported.

The present study was undertaken to understand the impact of some selected affective factors on the students' achievement in science at the secondary level. Data were collected from 1134 students of class X using stratified random sampling using strata of school types, with 532 boys and 602 girls from 34 schools of Aizawl district of Mizoram, a north-eastern state of India. An attempt was done to predict the students' science achievement through affective factors. For this purpose the regression equation has been established. Linear and multiple regression analysis indicated that the selected affective factors of scientific temper, science motivation, science anxiety, and emotional stability of students accounted for some amount of variance explained in achievement in science of students both individually and in combination, however, the explained variance is significant. Results indicated that the selected affective factors explained approximately 18% of the variance in the predicted variable of student's achievement in science. Although this variance is low but indeed has a significant impact on student's achievement in science subject. Prediction of student science achievement helps the teachers develop an understanding of students' requirements for a favorable affective classroom environment. Based on these findings, conclusions can be drawn for incorporating emotional elements in science teaching and learning processes.

This study aimed at identifying the factors of cyberbullying among the basic stage students in the City of Al-Ain from the perspective of their parents. The study used the descriptive analytical approach in order to achieve the study objectives. The study sample consisted of 129 parents of the basic stage students who were chosen in the random way of sampling. The researcher used the electronic questionnaire as a tool for collecting data from the sample individuals, which consisted of two parts; the first part included the demographic data, and the second part consisted of 17 questions about the subject matter. The results revealed that the main reasons leading to cyberbullying are: lack of parental control; the negative impact of media on children; the low level of commitment to manners and values in our society; the prevalence of violence; and the cyberbullying, where the bully could be a victim of another bully. The results also emphasised that cyberbullying could be the reason for many psychological problems, such as depression, stress and anxiety as well as social problems, such as alienation and lack of social relationships, and in addition to academic problems, such as low academic achievement among students. Based on the results, the authors recommend: to enhance the role of the family and school in instilling good manners in our children; to insert different activities in the school curriculum to distract their attention from the bad content of the social communication methods; to invest the children's free time in developing their talent, practicing sports and different activities; and to keep them as far as possible from the virtual world.

Циљ истраживања био је да испитамо да лисе на основу појединих особина личности, објашњене преко модела личности Великих пет плус два (неуротицизам, екстраверзија, савесност, агресивност, отвореност према искуству, позитивна и негативна валенца), може предвидети доживљај наде (коју је дефинисао Снајдер) и задовољство животом (који је дефинисао Пенезић), код младих на Косову и Метохији. Узорак је чинило 195 студената (61 мушких и 134 женских испитаника), различитих факултета Универзитета у Приштини са привременим седиштем у Косовској Митровици, просечне старости АС=21,5, СД=2,08. Инструменти коришћени у истраживању су: Инвентар личности Великих пет плус два, Скала наде и Скала задовољства животом. Резултати регресионе анализе показују да особине личности објашњавају 37,5% варијансе наде, а из групе предикторских варијабли су се издвојиле истрајност, као аспект савесности, и супериорност као аспект позитивне валенце. Особине личности објашњавају 59,2% варијансе задовољства животом, а као предикторске варијабле су се издвојиле депресивност и негативни афекат као аспекти неуротицизма, позитиван афекат као аспект екстраверзије и супериорност као аспект позитивне валенце. Када су особе истрајне, издржљиве, организоване и сигурне у себе, биће способне да планирају пут до жељеног циља без обзира на могуће препреке. Када су особе оптимистичне, ведре, активне и самопоуздане, показиваће веће задовољство својим животом. Кључне речи: особине личности, нада, задовољство животом, млади. Након што су психолошка истраживања дуго била усмерена на испитивање неповољних стања, односно, бавила су се варијаблама које нису повезане са срећом, јавила се потреба за испитивањем "позитивне психологије" УДК 159.

This study was designed to explore sex, age, and personality differences in the way working people rated their own work competencies. A total of 723 working adults (mainly from Europe and the Middle East) completed a questionnaire which measured respondents self-assessed work competencies, self-rated intelligence, creativity, humor and ability to learn, core selfevaluations, and Big Five personality traits. Males rated themselves significantly higher than females on four competencies (Leading and Deciding; Analyzing and Interpreting, Creating and Conceptualizing; and Enterprising and Performing). Factor analysis revealed one overall factor. Regressing the total competency rating onto demography (age and sex), core selfevaluations, and the Big Five showed a clear interpretable pattern. Older, stable, open, conscientious, extraverts tended to rate themselves highest on overall competency. Extraverted males rated their creativity and sense of humor highest. Core self-evaluations added little incremental validity over the Big Five. Personal ratings of competence are a function of sex and personality which may systematically relate to actual competency behaviors.

This paper discusses a question constantly in the spotlight of the pedagogical theory, namely -how does the education act in the process of accepting of certain values and value orientations in the development of the personality. For the modern pedagogy it has always been important the issue how can a subject accept the educational requirements posed by the society, and also to create a conscious attitude towards them and build his/her own individuality. In this sense, very often in both psychology and pedagogy the processes and the terms of interiorization and internalization become a topic of interest. The values are most often seen as general and hierarchically organized characteristics of the individual (dispositions) or the group (elements of the social awareness) formed under the influence of the historic and current social and individual factors. The values are formed by social learning and in the individual they develop abilities of evaluating the actions and the relations as good or bad, and connected with this are the feelings of repulsion towards the bad and affection towards the good as well as the strive that what has been perceived as good to be realized with the one's own action. This seemingly clear definition of the values and value orientateons abounds in many dilemmas and unexplained issues, such as: are the values a traditional or modern category, an absolute or a relative one, objective or subjective. The problem becomes more complicated when it comes to the development of abilities and will for accepting, or assimilation, when the act of education ought to be confirmed with the act of mutual adaptation of the objective and the subjective, i.e. the objective and the personal.

In the contemporary wave of digital transformation, the implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) has become a pivotal undertaking for numerous nations. However, amidst this technological advancement, a critical facet deserving heightened attention is the security and privacy of these electronic health systems. Regrettably, this crucial concern often finds itself eclipsed by other aspects of digitalization. Consequently, these oversight lapses create vulnerabilities within the EHR framework, leaving them open and exposed to an array of malicious cyber intrusions. In response to this pressing issue, our study delves into a comprehensive evaluation of security measures within the ambit of African digital health strategies. Remarkably, among the number of approximately 42 nations that have embarked on digital health strategy formulation, a mere 2 countries have taken cognizance of the imperative to integrate robust security and privacy policies into their healthcare-oriented digital transformation initiatives. In light of this disconcerting revelation, we present an actionable roadmap that endeavours to fortify EHR security, aligning with the progressive "shift-left" paradigm. By advocating for the proactive integration of security measures from the inception of EHR development, we strive to curtail vulnerabilities and enhance the This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution International 4.0 License.

Concept analysis of dispositional humility in professionals and expanding the understanding of the concept in a multidisciplinary primary care environment: A mixed methods study

2025

Catering to users’ need is one of the main pillars of Human-Computer Interaction. In this study, we explore user differentiation as a way to improve data visualisation interaction by focusing on personality. We focus on the personality trait of conscientiousness which reflects people’s tendency to be more organized, attentive to detail and diligent. We explore how conscientiousness shapes user experience towards InfoVis, by relating it with user task efficiency, task efficacy, perceived ease-of-use, perceived usefulness and preference. With the final goal of understanding how conscientiousness shapes user behaviour in the domain of information visualisation, our work creates a set of design features and explores their impact on users upon their validation.

This study explored whether or how three variables-personality traits, analytical/holistic scores, and genre-interact in EFL writing assessment. Thirty one randomly selected Iranian EFL teachers completed a NEO-FFI personality traits inventory, prior to scoring four sample writings in four different genres (namely; argumentative, cause/effect, opinion [advantage/disadvantage], and descriptive)based on a scoring rubric, developed by Jacobs, Zingraf, . Applying Pearson-correlation analysis, no significant relationship was observed between the raters' traits and the holistic scores assigned to each genre; however, significant correlations were found between analytic scores given to each individual component of scoring rubric and the raters' traits. Making raters aware of their personality traits can direct them to find out sources of their biases, and their tendencies to respond in certain ways to texts.

Personality is the characteristic set of an individual's behavioral and emotional patterns that evolve from biological and environmental factors. The recognition of personality profiles is crucial in making human-computer interaction (HCI) applications realistic, more focused, and user friendly. The ability to recognize personality using neuroscientific data underpins the neurobiological basis of personality. This paper aims to automatically recognize personality, combining scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) and machine learning techniques. As the resting state EEG has not so far been proven efficient for predicting personality, we used EEG recordings elicited during emotion processing. This study was based on data from the AMIGOS dataset reflecting the response of 37 healthy participants. Brain networks and graph theoretical parameters were extracted from cleaned EEG signals, while each trait score was dichotomized into low-and high-level using the k-means algorithm. A feature selection algorithm was used afterwards to reduce the feature-set size to the best 10 features to describe each trait separately. Support vector machines (SVM) were finally employed to classify each instance. Our method achieved a classification accuracy of 83.8% for extraversion, 86.5% for agreeableness, 83.8% for conscientiousness, 83.8% for neuroticism, and 73% for openness.

Our study focuses on the impact of systematic entrepreneurship training comprising both active and passive learning activities on entrepreneurial alertness and efficacy among adolescent youth. Reports from a two-wave online survey among 328 students from five secondary schools (aged 13-16 years; 34.8% male and 65.2% female) reveal that those who went through entrepreneurship training (treatment group, N = 142) had significantly higher entrepreneurial alertness and efficacy levels compared to those who did not go through training (control group, N = 186). We also find that even with gender effects accounted for, the higher entrepreneurial alertness and efficacy levels in the treatment group are due in part to both passive and active/hands-on elements of the program. Our study offers direct evidence that conducting entrepreneurship training programs among secondary school students could be an effective means to enhance entrepreneurial competencies among the youth. Specifically, our findings highlight the value of entrepreneurial training in improving age-appropriate competencies of entrepreneurial alertness and efficacy.

The present study compared the fit of several IRT models to two personality assessment instruments. Data from 13,059 individuals responding to the US-English version of the Fifth Edition of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) and 1,770 individuals responding to Goldberg's 50 item Big Five Personality measure were analyzed. Various issues pertaining to the fit of the IRT models to personality data were considered. We examined two of the most popular parametric models designed for dichotomously scored items (i.e., the two-and three-parameter logistic models) and a parametric model for polytomous items (Samejima's graded response model). Also examined were Levine's nonparametric maximum likelihood formula scoring models for dichotomous and polytomous data, which were previously found to provide good fits to several cognitive ability tests . The two-and threeparameter logistic models fit some scales reasonably well but not others; the graded response model generally did not fit well. The nonparametric formula scoring models provided the best fit of the models considered. Several implications of these findings for personality measurement and personnel selection were described. We greatly appreciate the help of Michael Levine on providing his insightful comments on drafts of this article have substantially improved its quality.

The trait theory of leadership is advanced by a joint investigation of the mediating role of (a) leadership self-efficacy (LSE ϭ leader's perceived capabilities to perform leader roles) in linking neuroticism, extraversion, and conscientiousness with leader effectiveness and (b) the moderating role of job demands and job autonomy in influencing the mediation. Using K. J. Preacher, D. D. Rucker, and A. F. Hayes' (2007) moderated mediation framework, the authors tested the model (over a 2-year period) with matched data from 394 military leaders and their supervisors. Results showed that LSE mediated the relationships for neuroticism, extraversion, and conscientiousness with leader effectiveness. Moderated mediation analyses further revealed that LSE mediated the relationships for (a) all 3 personality variables for only those leaders with low job demands; (b) neuroticism and conscientiousness for only those leaders with high job autonomy; and (c) extraversion, regardless of a leader's level of job autonomy. Results underscore the importance of accounting for leaders' situational contexts when examining the relationships between personality, LSE, and effectiveness.

This study investigated whether occupational therapy students' emotional intelligence and personality traits are predictive of specific aspects of their fieldwork performance. A total of 114 second and third year undergraduate occupational therapy students (86.6% response rate) completed the Genos Emotional Intelligence Inventory (Genos EI) and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Fieldwork performance scores were obtained from the Student Practice Evaluation Form Revised (SPEF-R). Linear regressions were completed with the SPEF-R domains being the dependent variables and the Genos EI and TIPI factors being the independent variables. Regression analysis results revealed that the Genos EI subscales of Emotional Management of Others (EMO), Emotional Awareness of Others (EAO), Emotional Expression (EEX) and Emotional Reasoning (ERE) were significant predictors of various domains of students' fieldwork performance. EAO and ERE were significant predictors of students' Communication Skills accounting for 4.6% of its variance. EMO, EAO, EEX and ERE were significant predictors of students' Documentation Skills explaining 6.8% of its variance. EMO was a significant predictor of students' Professional Behaviour accounting for 3.2% of its variance. No TIPI factors were found to be significant predictors of the SPEF-R domains. Occupational therapy students' emotional intelligence was a significant predictor of components of their fieldwork performance while students' personality traits were not. The convenience sampling approach used, small sample size recruited and potential issue of social desirability of the self-reported Genos EI and TIPI data are acknowledged as study limitations. It is recommended that other studies be completed to investigate if any other relevant constructs or factors are predictive of occupational therapy students' fieldwork performance.

The relationships were analyzed among emotional intelligence (EI), personality traits, and psychological well-being in undergraduates. In addition, the predictive capacity of EI and personality traits was analyzed. Results showed that low scores in neuroticism and high scores in extraversion are the dimensions of personality most related to all the psychological well-being scales, and also the best predictors of psychological well-being. Furthermore, high scores in clarity and emotional repair were found to be two consistent predictors for all the scales of psychological well-being, after controlling for personality factors. These results confirm the prognostic significance for EI on psychological well-being.

One of the main focuses of police psychology is the psychological assessment of
potential officers. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate how useful the NEOPI inventory and its variants are in the recruitment of police officers.
A systematic review of the literature using Google Scholar, PsycNet and
ScienceDirect databases was conducted. Key phrases such as “Big Five” and “police
officer” or “NEO-PI” and “public safety officer” were identified and analyzed to filter
the material.
Based on the studies using the application of the NEO-PI test in the recruitment of
police officers, they provide significant data for psychological well-being, adaptability
to work, and professional integrity.
MEDICUS No. 9, ISSUE 1/ 2025 31
The use of the NEO-PI in the selection process of police candidates provides
meaningful data to police structures and other law enforcement agencies about

While the current motto when leading employees from different cultures is that one size does not fit all, researchers have of late indicated that globalization promotes the interaction and thus adaptation of cultures to a global culture. We therefore explore the key question whether culturally hybrid personalities have emerged referring to the big five personality traits (extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience) collected among the working population (in the context of the International Social Survey Program). We propose a clustering of nations based on personality traits and analyze whether these socalled employee motivation dispositional drivers can be summarized into the cultural clusters developed in past research. Our results indicate that there are still seven clusters of different personalities rather than one top layer of global personality or culture; nonetheless, new "culturally hybrid" personality clusters have emerged, especially among the European cultures.

Strong arguments exist that the sub-disciplines of Information Systems (IS) and Computer Science (CS) can be meaningfully distinguished, and the literature indicates that teams in which there are variety of personalities and divergent career interests are more likely to successfully complete computing projects. This paper set out to identify differences in terms of personality and career objectives between those entering universities with the intention of pursuing a career in CS and those intending to study IS. First-year students from South African tertiary institutions in 2010 and 2012 were studied in terms of self-reported personality factors (using the Five Factor Model as frame of analysis) as well as perceived environmental factors associated with career choice. Surprisingly, the only persistent significant difference found was that IS students consider well-paid employment as soon as possible after graduating to be more important than CS students do. In terms of the other fac...

Background. The interactive effect of personal factors and social factors upon suicide risk is unclear. We conducted prospective cohort study to investigate whether the impact of the economic crisis in 1997-1998 upon suicide risk differed according to Neuroticism and Psychoticism personality traits. Methods. The Miyagi Cohort Study in Japan with a follow-up for 19 years from 1990 to 2008 has 29 432 subjects aged 40-64 years at baseline who completed a questionnaire about various health habits and the Japanese version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire -Revised Short Form in 1990. Results. The suicide mortality rate increased from 4.6 per 100 000 person-years before 1998 to 27.8 after 1998. Although both Neuroticism and Psychoticism were significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality during the whole period from 1990 to 2008, the impact of the economic crisis upon suicide risk differed between the Neuroticism and Psychoticism personality traits. Compared with the lowest category, the hazard ratios (HRs) for the highest Neuroticism increased from 0.66 before 1998 to 2.45 after 1998. On the other hand, the HRs for the highest Psychoticism decreased from 7.85 before 1998 to 2.05 after 1998. Conclusions. The impact of the 1997-1998 economic crisis upon suicide risk differed according to personality. Suicide risk increased among these with higher Neuroticism after the economic crisis, but this was not the case for other personality subscales.

Happiness and personality are closely related, like hand in glove. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and happiness among undergraduates in Malaysia. Using a convenient sampling method, 130 students of five academic programs from Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia completed the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) and NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). Correlation analysis, multiple regression and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. Results showed that happiness scores were positively and significantly correlated (P < 0.001) with those on Openness to experience (r = 0.243), Conscientiousness (r = 0.609), Extraversion (r = 0.446), Agreeableness (r = 0.391), but were negatively correlated with Neuroticism (r = -0.166, P > 0.05). Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism accounted for 48.2% of variance in predicting happiness. ANOVA results also showed that there was a statistically significant difference in happiness among respondents with different levels of Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Openness to experience. University Student Affair and Academic Affair Departments of the university should organise initiatives that could identify students' personality traits as this has a bearing on their happiness and hence their performance. Relevant activities need to be organised to enhance students' well-being. This is among the first papers that investigates the relationship between happiness and personality among non-medical undergraduates in Malaysia using OHQ and NEO-FFI.

Character Computing consists of not only personality trait recognition, but also correlation among these traits. Tons of research has been conducted in this area. Various factors like demographics, sentiment, gender, LIWC, and others have been taken into account in order to understand human personality. In this paper, we have concentrated on the factors that could be obtained from available data using Natural Language Processing. It has been observed that the most successful personality trait prediction models are highly dependent on NLP techniques. Researchers across the globe have used different kinds of machine learning and deep learning techniques to automate this process. Different combinations of factors lead the research in different directions. We have presented a comparative study among those experiments and tried to derive a direction for future development.

The importance of quickly assessing personality traits in many studies prompted the development of brief scales such as the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), a measure of five personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness). In the current study, we present the Portuguese version of TIPI and examine its psychometric properties, based on a sample of 333 Portuguese adults aged 18 to 65 years. The results revealed reliability coefficients similar to the original version (α = 0.39-0.72), very good 4-week test-retest reliability ( = 81, s > 0.71), expected factorial structure, high convergent validity with the Big-Five Inventory (s > 0.60), and correlations with self-esteem, affect, and aggressiveness similar to those found with standard measures of personality traits. Overall, our findings suggest that the Portuguese TIPI is a reliable and valid alternative to longer measures: it offers a promising tool for research conte...

The circumplexity of Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) and the interpersonal circle (IPC) were evaluated in a large adult sample. SASB exhibits elliptical structure, whereas multiple measures of the IPC exhibit circumplex structure. SASB results were replicated in a sample of psychiatric inpatients. Structural relations between the IPC and SASB indicate one common dimension (affiliation). Structural relations between SASB and the five-factor model (FFM) of personality indicate SASB has both convergent relations with all FFM dimensions and unique aspects of personality description captured by the autonomy dimension. SASB introject is related to Neuroticism and Conscientiousness. Autonomy-taking is related to Openness. Autonomy-granting was unrelated to the IPC or FFM. Integration of SASB, IPC, and FFM models identifies new dimensions of personality description and articulates the interpersonal influence of "noninterpersonal" traits. As pointed out, circular representations of human nature can be traced from ancient astrology and philosophy to Leonardo da Vinci to contemporary representations of interpersonal behavior. The centrality of circular (i.e., circumplex) structural models for the study of personality is evident in the recent publication of two major compendiums of research and theory . Regardless of conceptual focus, all circumplex models must meet several geometric assumptions. In order of increasing specificity, these are (a) differences among variables are reducible to differences in two dimensions, (b) all variables have equal projections (the constant radius property), and (c) discretely measured variables are uniformly distributed along the circle's circumference (the equal-spacing property; . The advantages of circumplexity include the application of both continuous measurement and geometric classification of persons and constructs (e.g.,

When the relationship between ageing and changes in personality traits is considered, it is important to know how they are influenced by biological and environmental factors. The present study examined the relationships between various factors associated with the effect of ageing on personality traits, including structural changes of the brain and environmental factors such as education. We recruited 41 healthy subjects. We administered the NEO Five-Factor Inventory to assess personality factors. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed, and regional grey matter (GM) volumes were obtained. We identified associations in the correlation analysis of age, cerebral GM volume, years of education, and the personality trait of openness. Path analysis was used to estimate the relationships among these factors. The path analysis model of age, GM volume, years of education, and the personality trait of openness revealed that age has an indirect negative association with openness through GM vol...

Postural control is a term used to describe how the central nervous system regulates sensory information from other systems to produce adequate motor output to maintain a controlled, upright posture. Emotions (fear, anxiety) and thus personality type can affect the strategy of body control. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of personality on postural control. Thirty-three healthy individuals participated in this study. The big-five model was used to examine personality traits. Each participant performed four different standing tasks (one and both legs standing with eyes open (eo) and closed (ec): 2eo, 2ec, 1eo, 1ec). We showed that the dominant personality traits in the study group were extraversion and agreeableness. There were significantly low negative associations between nonlinear parameters and personality traits. A moderate correlation was noted for the 1eo trial between Openness and the Lyapunov exponent. In conclusion, nonlinear measures provide a possible link betwee...

Purpose: This research employs Aaker's brand personality framework to explore the interrelationships between social network platform brand personality and attitude, motivations, behavioural intention, and behaviour. Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative data were collected from three samples of social network (Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube) users via online self-administered surveys. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that some personality traits positively relate to attitudes (excitement for Facebook and LinkedIn; sincerity for YouTube). Excitement was positively related to all motivations for Facebook and LinkedIn and one for YouTube. The paper provides insights into how social network users perceive the brand personality of social network platforms. Originality/value: The paper brings new insights into social networks as brands, contributing new knowledge into the role of brand personality in the social media realm.

Purpose. Sensational interests (e.g. an interest in the occult or the methods of violence) in mentally disordered offenders are claimed to signify greater risk of psychopathology, but evidence to support this view is slight.Methods. The relationships between self‐reported DSM‐IV personality disorder (PD), general personality traits and sensational interests were examined in 155 of 167 consecutively referred offenders to a forensic psychology service. The subscales of the PD and personality trait measures were reduced to the four basic PD/trait dimensions (asocial, antisocial, anxious and anankastic) using confirmatory factor analysis.Results. Those high on the ‘antisocial’ factor (which was primarily defined by low Agreeableness, low Conscientiousness, and substantial elements of Paranoid, Antisocial and Borderline PD) were more interested in ‘violent‐occult’ and militaristic topics.Conclusions. The aspects of the antisocial factor primarily associated with an interest in sensationa...

Personality traits have been shown to be associated with longevity and healthy aging. In order to discover novel genetic modifiers associated with personality traits as related with longevity, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on personality factors assessed by NEO-five-factor inventory in individuals enrolled in the Long Life Family Study (LLFS), a study of 583 families (N up to 4595) with clustering for longevity in the United States and Denmark. Three SNPs, in almost perfect LD, associated with agreeableness reached genome-wide significance (p < 10 -8 ) and replicated in an additional sample of 1279 LLFS subjects, although one (rs9650241) failed to replicate and the other two were not available in two independent replication cohorts, the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging and the New England Centenarian Study. Based on 10,000,000 permutations, the empirical p-value of 2 × 10 -7 was observed for the genome-wide significant SNPs. Seventeen SNPs that reached marginal statistical significance in the two previous GWASs (p-value <10 -4 and 10 -5 ), were also marginally significantly associated in this study (p-value <0.05), although none of the associations passed the Bonferroni correction. In addition, we tested age-by-SNP interactions and found some significant associations. Since scores of personality traits in LLFS subjects change in the oldest ages, and genetic factors outweigh environmental factors to achieve extreme ages, these age-by-SNP interactions could be a proxy for complex gene-gene interactions affecting personality traits and longevity.

The problem of drug addiction is growing day by day in Pakistani youth. Previous studies on drug addictions highlighted that drug addicts have different personality traits and level of stress, anxiety and depression as compared to the non addicts. Objective: To get the deep understanding of the personality traits, psychological discomfort, and Locus of control among drug and non-drug users. Methods: For this purpose, a sample of 200 participants, drug abusers (n=100) and non-drug users(n=100) of the same age, were taken from the general population and various rehabilitation facilities in Islamabad and Rawalpindi by using three reliable scales: The TIPI Questionnaire, the DASS-21, and the Locus of Control Questionnaire were administered to the selected sample. The core findings of the study were interpreted in terms of descriptive, correlation and t–test analysis. Results: The study findings demonstrate a statistically significant difference between drug and non-drug users in extrave...

This study aims to discover the relationship between extrovert students' and their writing ability at the university level. The study was conducted from March to April 2023 at the Jinarakkhita Buddhist College Bandar Lampung. The population of the research was the second-semester Buddhist Education Department students in the academic year 2022-2023. The researchers used a rubric score to analyze and measure the students' recount text writing ability before and after treatment. The data were collected by administering essay writing pre-tests and post-tests. The data were collected from a writing test used to assess students' writing abilities, and a series of analyses were performed, beginning with examining the reliability of the questionnaire and the association between the score and students' personalities. The result showed increased pre-test and post-test average scores from 49.9 to 65.1. In addition, this study found that second-semester students' writing abilities have improved due to the use of communication skill-based writing instruction (CSBWI) to promote extrovert students' as they are more expressive in conducting ideas.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the determinants of adherence in the EFFORT-D (EFFect Of Running Therapy) study in a specialised mental health care hospital setting. Methods: Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) were given treatment as usual and half were randomised to an exercise intervention. Adherence was measured at 3 months (T3) and 6 months (T6) and was defined as participation in the overall study protocol (total n ¼ 42, adhered n ¼ 28) or intervention (total n ¼ 24, adhered n ¼ 9). Potential determinants were age, BMI, tobacco and alcohol use, severity of depression, anxiety, fitness (VO 2 max kg À1 and Wmax kg À1 ) and personality traits at baseline. ANOVA, Chi-square tests and block-wise logistic regression were performed, and reliability of the scales was determined. Results: Numbers were found too low for analyses on smoking, drinking and anxiety. Higher agreeableness was significantly associated with better adherence to the overall study protocol (OR 1.2; p ¼ 0.03; 95% CI: 1.01-1.4) and severity of depression was negatively associated with adherence in the intervention group (OR 0.70; p ¼ 0.046;95% CI: 0.49-0.99). Conclusions: To adhere to a study protocol involving exercise or to a clinical exercise programme, MDD patients need substantial personal support. Measurement of personality traits and the severity of depression as potential predictors of adherence could be considered for this purpose. Adherence to exercise and study protocols in a randomised controlled trial was low Patients with severe major depressive disorder need substantial personal support Measurement of personality traits could be considered ARTICLE HISTORY

The present study aims to explore the nature of age and sex differences in personality constructs throughout the young adulthood; particularly differences on personality traits and interpersonal problems, on the basis of the five-factor model and the interpersonal circumplex model. The sample consisted of 514 participants from Turkey, 257 of whom were male, and 257 were female whose ages varied from 18 to 35 (M = 24.92). To strengthen the study results, participants in the sample were individually matched on both sex and age; so that there were same number of females and males at the same age. Results indicated that men were stronger in terms of openness and hostile-dominance, whereas women were stronger in neuroticism and agreeableness traits. Regarding age differences, conscientiousness had a significant increasing pattern whereas hostile-dominance had a significant decreasing pattern with aging throughout young adulthood. Implications of the findings were discussed in line with the literature considering stability versus change debate, and gender issues in personality within a cultural and developmental context. Keywords Sex . Age difference . Young adulthood . Personality . Interpersonal problems Interest in the paradigm of personality has been growing, and leading to comprehensive investigations in various aspects of both normal and abnormal personality. Numerous models proposed to explain personality and personality psychopathology, among which the dimensional models mounted considerable progress (e.g., Big Five, Interpersonal Circumplex, Trait Model of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Personality construct have been examined in different contexts, and in relation to various factors; such as the effect of maturation, gender, and interpersonal, social, and cultural factors on personality traits (e.g., ). Nevertheless, there has been continuing debates on personality change across the lifespan, differential findings across the cultures, and a growing promotion of further research within the framework of dimensional models of personality (e.g., DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association 2013;. The current study aims to investigate age and sex differences throughout young adulthood in personality traits and interpersonal behaviors. Two well-established dimensional models of personality, namely Big Five Model of Personality and Interpersonal Circumplex Models, grounded the framework of this study . Since socially prescribed roles and values are closely related to sex and age-based differences in personality traits and interpersonal interactions (e.g., Eagly and Wood 1991), this

Anonymity has been considered one of the constructs that differentiate traditional bullying from cyberbullying; however, few published studies have actually tested how and why anonymity influences cyberbullying behavior longitudinally. We posit that aggressor-perceived anonymity predicts cyberbullying behavior and positive attitudes toward cyberbullying. Additionally, positive cyberbullying attitudes would mediate aggressor-perceived anonymity and cyberbullying behavior. The current study used a 4-wave longitudinal design over the course of one academic year on college-aged participants (N ϭ 146 [at Wave 1]; average age ϭ 19.21). Specifically, participants completed measures of anonymity, cyberbullying attitudes, and cyberbullying behavior 4 times approximately every 2 months. Results using path analysis showed (a) strong stability over time for the variables and (b) several mediated paths between Wave 1 anonymity and Waves 3 and 4 cyberbullying behaviors through Wave 2 cyberbullying attitudes. These results remained using both maximum likelihood estimation and bootstrapping techniques. Overall, the results showed that aggressor-perceived anonymity is an important risk factor for later cyberbullying behavior.

An empirical study examining differences in personality traits between musicians and non-musicians employing the differential approach was conducted on Macedonian sample. The sample itself consisted of 629 respondents in total, including 288 musicians with ongoing (music high-school or university music students) or completed (university degree in music) musical education, and the control sample of 341 non-musicians with mirrored age structure (non-music high-school or university students, as well as non-music university degree holders from different fields). Individual differences were tested employing four measuring tools: 16PF (by R. Cattell, revised version, 1993), EPQ (by H. Eysenck, 1975) and NEO PI-R (by Costa& McCrae, 1990) personality inventories, as well as FRT i.e. Figure reasoning test (by J. Daniels, 1962, Yugoslavian revised version known as TRL, 1983) as a measure of general intellectual ability.Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) based statistical data processi...

An empirical differential study examining differences in personality traits and general intellectual ability among three different age-based groups of classical musicians (students attending a music high school, music university students and senior professionals with university degree in music) was conducted on Macedonian sample (288 respondents in total). Individual differences were tested employing four measuring instruments: 16PF, EPQ and NEO PI-R personality inventories, as well as the FRT (TRL) as an IQ test. A differential (one-way ANOVA) approach based statistical data processing indicated several major differences in personality traits, but not in general intelligence among the groups. High school students proved to be more extroverted and more uncompromising, but also less conscientious and with lesser imagination than adults, while university students showed proneness to fantasy, unconventionality and appreciation of art and beauty more than others. Overall, the university students scored more or less somewhere between the high-school students and the adult musicians on a vast majority of measured traits, which suggests the existence of specific developmental line of the differential traits, alongside the age, experience and musicianship growth.

This study seeks to identifY personality characteristics including intellectual inclination, personality and creative-thinking ability of a group of graduate student teachers who, on their own volition, opted to take an initialization course in Gifted Education as one of the electives leading to a Postgraduate Diploma in Education-Secondary (PGDE-S) at the National Institute of Education, Singapore. The control group consisted of PGDE-S student teachers who chose another elective. Personality attributes of the subjects, like extraversion-introversion, sensing-thinking, thinking-feeling and judgmentperception, were captured using the "Myers-Bnggs Type Indicator (Form G)", while the degree of creative thinking was assessed using the "How Do You Think?" inventory. Results of two independent ttests indicated that the mean creative thinking score and the mean overall results for the experimental group were significantly higher than the controls. Also, more subjects in the experimental group were extraverted, intuitive and thinking. This study serves as a prototype for the systematic identification of graduate student teachers to teach the academically gifted in Singapore.

There are few works in literature that study the relationship between tourist destination image and tourist destination personality. The present study starting from the relationship between image and personality tries to analyze how this relationship can strengthen the identification of tourists with the destination itself and consequently behavioral responses. The results will highlight a strong impact of image on some personality traits of the destination and how these personality traits have an effect on the the effective, ideal, social and social ideal destination self congruity and on the intentions of return and word of mouth. The work ends with a discussion on the theoretical and managerial implications in terms of destination branding strategies.

The manner in which one acts or behaves in response to environment, person or stimulus that is external or internal, covert or overt and voluntary or involuntary is the behavior of an individual. Behavior is determined by his or her personality (is the set of psychological traits and mechanisms with the individual that are organized and relatively enduring and that influences his or her interactions with, and adaptation to, the intra psychic, physical ,and social environments). Personality is determined by various factors, these factors are examined by different researchers and psychologists, various models came out of it, Big Five-Factor Model (Costa & Mc Crae,1995 ) is one among them .An individual possessing specific traits behave specially in the society. Individuals moving towards people and society when they are in need are performing prosocial behavior (refers to acts that are positively valued by society).In our culture helping others is socially valued. Thus helpful responses are a form of prosocial behavior. Empirical work has been done to examine the relationship of prosocial behavior and personality traits. This paper presents the theoretical review of the relationship between prosocial behavior and Big Five-Factor Model of Personality, from last fifteen years.

This study was designed to investigate how college students' personality characteristics relate to their choice of instructional delivery (online or face-to-face) and whether this choice mediates the relationship between personality and academic performance. One hundred eighty-eight undergraduate students were given a choice between taking the same general education course online or faceto-face. Students completed the Big Five Inventory (BFI) upon the conclusion of this course. Using a Bayesian regression course modeling framework, we found that Conscientiousness and Agreeableness were related to the choice of instructional delivery. Students scoring higher on Conscientiousness and lower on Agreeableness tended to choose the online environment. Conscientiousness also was a direct predictor of academic achievement regardless of the course environment. These results suggest that in order to find the best fit between student and the learning environment, it is important to identify personality characteristics indicative of success in online and traditional face-to-face courses to help students to become more efficient learners and assist faculty in designing quality courses to meet students' needs.
