TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between two personality measures, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the five-factor NEO-PI.

TL;DR: The Internal, Personal and Situational Attributions Questionnaire (IPSAQ) as discussed by the authors was developed to assess causal locus, and was found to be adequately reliable in a group of normal subjects.

TL;DR: The purpose of the present study is to compare Cloninger’s 7 factor model with Eysenck”s 3 and Zuckerman“s 5 factor models by correlating the scales developed to measure the traits with the clinical data and biological correlates of the new scales.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the reliability and validity of the psychopathy checklist-Revised: Screening Version (PCL-R:SV) in a sample of 75 male and 75 female university students.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of 56 studies were included adding up to a total number of 98 effect size estimates for measures of coping, symptom reporting, and negative affect.

TL;DR: This paper found that high impulsive adolescents and young adults are at considerable risk of personal injury and present a potential source of injury to others, and suggested that self-report questionnaires of impulsiveness might prove useful in the early identification of these high risk individuals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared 61 patients with social phobia and 39 community volunteers with no anxiety disorder on the Frost, Marten, Lahart and Rosenblate's (1990) Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS).

TL;DR: The strongest risk indicators for sexual coercion were psychopathy (as assessed by an early history of behavior problems), sensation-seeking, self-perceived mating success, and an extensive history of uncommitted sexual relationships.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between identity orientation and decisional strategies was investigated and it was found that information-oriented individuals reportedly engaged in systematic, vigilant decisional practices whereas diffuse/avoidant-oriented subjects resorted to maladaptive decision-al strategies including procrastination, avoidance, and excuse making.

TL;DR: This paper found that creativity, primary process cognition, extraversion, and psychoticism are interrelated, and the common train linking them together may be disinhibition, but neither potential creativity nor primary process content were significantly correlated with either psychoticism or openness to experience.

TL;DR: The authors found that high socially prescribed perfectionism was associated with a variety of psychosocial adjustment problems, including greater loneliness, shyness, and fear of negative evaluation, and lower levels of social self-esteem.

TL;DR: The results of two studies into the "Big Five" personality factors associated with interpersonal violence and vandalism/theft are reported in this paper, and the results are discussed with reference to previous research into the personality correlates to delinquency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of future anxiety (FA) as a personality characteristic and present the 29-item measurement scale (FAS) with reliability indices for the English and Polish versions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the link between affect intensity and indices of coping styles and negative mood regulation expectancies, and found that high affect intensity is associated with a negative coping orientation when emotional distress is experienced.

TL;DR: In this article, an individual-differences approach to social competence was presented, where people generated a large number of operational indicators of social competence and the dimensions that underlie those indicators were then determined.

TL;DR: In an examination of factors associated with delinquent behaviour of adolescent school children, questionnaires were administered to students (N = 763) between the ages of 13 and 17 years attending a large co-educational high school in Australia as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the psychological characteristics of 62 prison inmates who claimed to have made a false confession during a police interview, were compared with those of other inmates, and the results showed that the ‘false confessors’ were significantly more antisocial in their personality, compliant and emotionally labile, than the other inmates and had lower selfdeception and other-deception scores.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-report questionnaire with four indicators was developed for measuring SBI (frequency of perceived injustice, intensity of anger following injustice, intrusiveness of thoughts about unjust events, punitivity towards the victimizer).

TL;DR: In this paper, three studies examined the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and its psychopathological correlates, and the results provided support for the view that the CFQ taps daily cognitive routines that are undermined by anxiety and depression.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that subjects who score highly on the psychoticism scale of the EPQ would perform better on the creativity tasks compared with low-P scorers, and this difference was statistically significant.

TL;DR: The authors examined psychometric properties of scores derived from calibration curves (overconfidence, calibration, resolution, and slope) and an analogue of overconfidence that is based on a post-test estimate of the proportion of correctly solved items.

TL;DR: Several items of the Sensation Seeking Scale which had become dated or irrelevant to current generations were modified, but some investigators are apparently unaware of these modifications as discussed by the authors, which has no description of specific activities.

TL;DR: In this article, two models of the factor structure underlying the variables of Jackson's (Personality Research Form Manual, 1984) Personality Research Form (PRF) were evaluated and it was concluded that at least six factors are needed to account for behavior consistencies at the highest level of the personality hierarchy.

TL;DR: Amendments to the Age-Universal I-E scale, used to measure intrinsic and extrinsic orientations toward religion, are proposed to facilitate the scales' use among both religious and non-religious samples.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the psychometric properties of the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) with 539 incarcerated male offenders and found that the BIDR has utility in the measurement of socially desirable responding with offenders.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the connection between self-focused attention and self-consciousness on the one hand and blushing propensity, fear of blushing and frequency on the other hand, and found that blushing frequency was unrelated to public selfconsciousness and self focused attention.

TL;DR: In this paper, a card format and a single-trial format of a standard color-word Stroop and an emotional Stroop (i.e. spider words) were administered to a normal sample and re-administered after 3 months.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the possible links between anxiety and procrastination, and found that trait measures and self-report measures of dilatory behavior and state anxiety were obtained.
