TL;DR: A more definitive methodological approach to the topic has evolved in recent years, emphasizing prospective designs, well-validated measures of personality, and unambiguous health outcomes as mentioned in this paper, which is increasingly based on more detailed, physiologically plausible models of the possible mechanisms linking personality and health.

TL;DR: The authors investigated interpersonal perception in Internet chat rooms and found that judges in group interactions tended to like the targets less and viewed them less favorably across all personality traits than did judges in one-on-one interactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how examination of persons suffering from amnesia and autism can shed light on the way in which knowledge about self is represented in memory, and conclude that the mind may have learning systems that are specialized both for acquiring and retrieving information about one's own personality.

TL;DR: The authors found that adolescents' self-ratings were found to moderately agree with mothers' ratings of their children's personalities, suggesting the potential utility of using other-reports of preadolescent personality but also the appropriateness of using self-reports.

TL;DR: This article explored motivational differences in the perception of social obligations by respondents from individualist versus collectivist cultures and found that Latinos expressed a greater desire (i.e., greater perceived "want" to engage in these "should" behaviors compared to Anglos.

TL;DR: Personality psychology has made striking advances in the past two decades, demonstrating the importance of individual differences in a wide variety of life domains Longitudinal studies of adult development contributed to these advances by revealing the stability of personality traits even in the face of changing life circumstances as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The authors found that shyness is more prevalent among East Asians than among those of European heritage and concluded that the ethnic difference is maximal for classroom participation and the latter situation combines several key contributing factors to Asian shyness.

TL;DR: This paper found no relationship between first-born status and Surgency, conscientiousness, or emotional stability in a sample of young adults, including full genetic siblings and mixed (half-, step-, or adoptive) siblings.

TL;DR: The interplay of personality and psychopathology has been of substantial interest since the beginning of medicine and continues to be a clinically significant yet highly challenging focus of investigation as mentioned in this paper, however, the relationship of personality to mental health and psychopathologies within the aging population is only just beginning to be studied.

TL;DR: The Project Competence longitudinal study as discussed by the authors found that childhood personality differences predicted adaptation at all three time periods and also changes in adaptation over time, and features of adult personality were presaged by childhood adaptation, and in some cases childhood adaptation predicted the course of personality development.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to determine whether impoverished personality judgments of job candidates would be yielded by interviewers who conduct telephone interviews in comparison to face-to-face interviews due to the telephone interviews' inherent lack of crucial nonverbal communication.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive lifespan model of personality is proposed that is based in developmental systems theory and integrates processes and structures within a level-of-analysis framework, and it is argued that personality is most clearly revealed in later life and that this model allows examination of personality from both nomothetic and idiographic perspectives.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential relationship between timing performance and general fluid intelligence and found that brain mechanisms specifically involved in discriminations of extremely brief intervals represent a sensitive indicator of general fluid Intelligence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze longitudinal-epidemiological data on personality and criminal behavior and find that personality measures and measures of criminal behavior can be conceived of as indicators of a latent, stable propensity to act in an unconstrained manner.
