TL;DR: The authors evaluated the emotional intelligence (EI) construct (the ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions), as measured by the Multi-Factor Emotional Intelligence Scale (MEIS), and found that EI was not related to IQ but was related, as expected, to specific personality measures (e.g., empathy) and to other criterion measures, including life satisfaction and relationship quality.

TL;DR: Schutte et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a theoretical distinction between trait and information-processing EI and showed that trait EI appertains to the greater personality realm whereas information processing EI is an attempt to chart new territory in the field of human mental ability.

TL;DR: In this article, the integration of intellectual ability, learning style, personality and achievement motivation as predictors of academic success in higher education in the Netherlands was investigated. But no positive association with academic success was detected for the meaning directed, reproduction directed and application directed learning style.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between affectivity and job satisfaction by cumulating research findings across studies and found that 10-25% of variance in job satisfaction could be due to individual differences in affectivity.

TL;DR: In an HIV prevention study, 2949 ninth-grade students in 17 high schools in two Midwestern U.S. cities were administered scales measuring sensation seeking and impulsive decision-making and their separate and combined relationships to a number of indicators of sexual risk-taking.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship of emotional intelligence, cognitive ability, and personality with academic achievement has been investigated using the EQ-i (total EQ-I score and five composite factor scores).

TL;DR: In this article, the psychometric and factor-analytic properties of the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS-C) were investigated in a Hong Kong Chinese adolescent sample.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested hypotheses about the potential benefits women might derive from engaging in one type of short-term mating (extra-pair liaisons) and the contexts in which they do so.

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of emotional intelligence was examined in relation to the latitude permitted for emotional expressiveness and adaptation to occupational culture in three groups of helping professionals: police officers, child care workers, and educators in mental health care.

TL;DR: Frost et al. as mentioned in this paper examined components of perfectionism and their relation to other personality constructs, based on data on the Frost et al., Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Brief Symptom Inventory, the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

TL;DR: This paper studied eight personality types (Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness) in a sample of 683 university students and found that those combining high Neuroticism with low conscientiousness showed high vulnerability to stress and poor coping.

TL;DR: This paper examined correlations among these measures in a large sample of Dutch school children (N=1011) and found that there was a strong correlation between the total anxiety scores of these instruments (r=0.89).

TL;DR: This paper analyzed the French oral interlanguage of 25 Flemish university students and related this to their EPI scores, finding that extravert bilinguals are more fluent than introvert bilingual, especially in interpersonal stressful situations.

TL;DR: Gilbert et al. as discussed by the authors explored how people feel (anxious vs angry) and attribute blame for criticism with the development of a new scale called the sensitivity to put-down scale, which was found to be associated with a number of psychopathology variables such as social anxiety, depression and shame.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of trait anxiety and defensiveness on the processing of threat were examined in a non-clinical sample (N=60), with each participant tested on both the modified Stroop colour-naming and dot probe tasks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore notions of task aversiveness across stages of personal projects and find that boredom, frustration and resentment emerge as PPA dimensions associated with task-aversiveness at each stage of project development.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors place drinking motives within the context of the Five-Factor Model of personality, and determine whether certain personality domains and facets of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) predict Enhancement, Coping, Social, and/or Conformity drinking motives from the Revised Drinking Motives Questionnaire (DMQ-R).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the interrelations between dimensions of perfectionism and measures of academic motivation and learning strategies in university students and found that self-oriented perfectionism was positively associated with self-efficacy for learning and performance, adaptive metacognitive and cognitive learning strategies, and effective resource management.

TL;DR: The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was adapted to the Estonian language by Kwan et al. as discussed by the authors, who found that global self-esteem can be best represented as a single dimension and the temporal stability of the ERSES was also very similar to the original version demonstrating an exponential decay over time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is an important attribute of female attractiveness and it is argued that a lower ratio is more attractive than a higher one.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between Openness to Experience and political ideology was tested in two adult samples, one in Belgium (N=100) and one in Poland (n=146).

TL;DR: The structure of virtue was investigated through the development and construct validation of the Virtues Scale (VS), a 140-item self-report measure of virtues as mentioned in this paper, which revealed four factors: Empathy, Order, Resourcefulness, and Serenity.

TL;DR: Carver et al. as discussed by the authors presented a re-analysis of the COPE questionnaire and found a clear three-factor structure involving rational, emotion-focused and avoidance coping, which was similar to other recent coping scales such as the Multidimensional Coping Inventory (MCI) and the Coping Styles Questionnaire (CSQ).

TL;DR: This article examined the utility of a Chinese version of the revised Life Orientation Test (CLOT-R) to measure optimism among Chinese students, the CLOT--R, the General Health Questionnaire, a physical symptom checklist and measures of constructs related to optimism were administered to a total of 404 Hong Kong and 328 mainland Chinese college students.

TL;DR: This paper examined the relationship between optimism and risk for job burnout in 225 working college students while also examining stress as a mediator, finding that optimism and stress were significantly correlated with risk for burnout.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to examine the performance of Cronbach's alpha as an index of reliability, and the results showed that alpha is influenced by factors other than the reliability of the items that comprise a scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between cognitive ability and MRI-measured brain volume and head size in a sample of adult male siblings recruited from the London, Ontario community in Canada was examined.
