TL;DR: The UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale as mentioned in this paper was developed to identify four distinct personality facets associated with impulsive-like behavior which were labeled urgency, lack of premeditation, pre-emption, and perseverance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CEMQ) has been constructed, measuring nine cognitive coping strategies people tend to use after having experienced negative life events, and a test-retest design was used to study the psychometric properties and relationships with measures of depression and anxiety among 547 high school youngsters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a set of studies that illustrate the main psychometrical characteristics of the sensitivity to punishment and sensitivity to reward questionnaire (SPSRQ) and the two scales of the questionnaire were developed by writing items to assess BIS and BAS functioning.

TL;DR: Schutte et al. as mentioned in this paper found that EI was reliably measured in adolescents, was higher for females than males, and was positively associated with skill at identifying emotional expressions, amount of social support, extent of satisfaction with social support and mood management behaviour.

TL;DR: The Anger Rumination Scale as mentioned in this paper was constructed to measure the tendency to focus attention on angry moods, recall past anger experiences, and think about the causes and consequences of anger episodes.

TL;DR: In this article, the validity and reliability of the Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire (BVAQ) were investigated by comparing results of psychometric analyses in three language groups.

TL;DR: In this article, a clarified account of global self-esteem as consisting of self-competence and self-liking is presented, along with a revised instrument designed to measure the two correlated dimensions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the empirical association between the apparently similar constructs of emotional intelligence and alexithymia was examined using latent variable analysis in a large community sample of adults (N=734).

TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of 634 female and 549 male, middle-aged participants in the Minnesota Twin-Family Study (MTFS) were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R, the Substance Abuse Module from the Composite International Diagnostic Interview, and a specially-designed interview for the assessment of antisocial personality disorder.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relations among personality traits (the Big-Five), demographics (age and gender) and risk-taking in an Italian sample of varying age levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the psychometric qualities of the Creative Experiences Questionnaire (CEQ), a brief 25-item self-report measure of fantasy proneness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between forgiving of self, forgiveness of others, and personality and general health measures, and found that failure to forgive others is accompanied by higher depression scores among men and women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the Self-report Psychopathy Scale (SRPS) with the PCL-R and found that the SRPS was significantly correlated with measures of substance abuse and criminal versatility.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on self-estimated intelligence can be found in this article, where the authors examine studies dating back over 50 years on lay theories of the nature and measurement of intelligence, and more recent research on sex and culture differences on self estimated intelligence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used scales based on both observed behaviors and atheoretical self-reports, and using these scales to determine procrastination's performance, mood, and personality correlates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a short empirical study has been made of the relationships between happiness as measured by the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI) and extraversion and emotional stability, finding that emotional stability was more strongly associated with happiness than extraversion, and accounted for more of the total variability in multiple regression.

TL;DR: This paper investigated the validity of the AQ-C in a sample of 12-14 year-old adolescents (N =155) and found that adolescents who classified themselves as securely attached displayed a higher quality of attachment than adolescents who classify themselves as insecurely (i.e. avoidantly or ambivalently) attached.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated some of the antecedents of procrastination (fear of failure, aversiveness of task, risk taking, rebellion against control, dependency, and difficulty making decisions) in terms of the five factors of personality (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness and Conscientiousness).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address a number of problems in Gray's account of the BIS and the Behavioural Approach System (BAS) that need to be tackled before we can conclude that cognitive accounts of personality should supersede, rather than complement, biologically-based ones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether certain "risky" drinking motives mediate the previously established relation between elevated anxiety sensitivity (AS) and increased drinking behavior in college student drinkers (n=109 women, 73 men).

TL;DR: In this article, a survey and field study evaluated predictions from state-trait theory applied to driving anger and found that trait driving anger correlated with crash-related conditions such as loss concentration, loss of vehicular control, and close calls.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that a substantial minority of the participants could be classified as happy introverts in terms of preference for solitude, relations with friends, and taking part in potentially introspective activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the construction and validation of a new scale for measuring styles of coping with uncertainty, entitled the Uncertainty Response Scale (URS), which measures emotional uncertainty, desire for change and cognitive uncertainty, all of which showed high internal (coefficient alpha) and re-test reliabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether there is a specific relationship between obsessive symptoms and disgust, independently of general psychological distress symptoms, and found that disgust elicited more obsessive-compulsive symptoms than anxiety and depression.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between sensation seeking and risk-taking behavior among adolescents and found that negative risk behavior correlates negatively with challenges from both school and parents, and a similar relationship exists between negative risk behaviour and social background.

TL;DR: The most frequently reported benefits of rumination were increasing self-awareness and understanding of the depression, and solving problems/preventing future mistakes as discussed by the authors, while participants with higher levels of self-reported rumination endorsed significantly more strongly the reasons for ruminating than participants with lower levels.

TL;DR: The authors explored the construct validity of learning style as operationalised in the Learning Styles Inventory (LSI) and its relationship with cognitive style as measured using the Cognitive Styles Analysis (CSA).

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between Emotional Stability (ES), Extraversion (E) and Subjective Well-Being (SWB) was tested against questionnaire data from 264 Norwegian folk high school students.

TL;DR: This paper found that men in a foraging society preferred high waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) compared to low WHR, and interpreted this as a preference for heavier women, which should be common where there is no risk of obesity.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted in an attempt to replicate previous findings regarding relations between personality domains in the five-factor model of personality and drinking motives, and to examine the potential mediating role of the internal drinking motives in explaining hypothesized relation between personality variables and drinking quantity/drinking problems.
