TL;DR: An improved instrument, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), has been derived from the Oxford happiness inventory (OHI), which comprises 29 items, each involving the selection of one of four options that are different for each item.

TL;DR: This paper developed a self-report measure of sensation seeking, a dispositional risk factor for various problem behaviors, and administered the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS) to more than 7000 adolescents.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study of university students found that stress was associated with depression, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation among those high in emotional perception compared to others.

TL;DR: In this article, a biologically predicated model of these two personality factors, relating them to serotonergic and dopaminergic function, and they label them Stability (Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) and Plasticity (Extraversion and Openness).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between self-efficacy and symptoms of affective disorders in a large sample of normal adolescents (n =596) and found that low levels of selfefficacy generally were accompanied by high levels of trait anxiety/neuroticism, anxiety disorders symptoms, and depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: Pennebaker et al. as discussed by the authors examined the relationship between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction using a modified version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale and found that only the Clarity sub-scale accounted for further variance in life satisfaction not accounted for by positive and negative affect.

TL;DR: A meta-analytic review of studies on religion and the Five Factor Model revealed that, in addition to Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, religiosity (today?) is related to extraversion.

TL;DR: The authors examined whether and how McCrae and Costa's Big Five personality dimensions (N, E, O, A, and C) are associated with stress and coping processes, including cognitive appraisals, subjective reactions, use of coping strategies, and task performance.

TL;DR: Mayer et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and adolescent tobacco and alcohol use (TAU) and found that adolescents with high EI may possess a greater mental ability to read others well and detect unwanted peer pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested a new perspective on J. A Gray's Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) which postulates that the behavioural inhibition system and the behavioural approach system (BAS) exert two separate effects on behaviour: (1) facilitatory (BIS−punishment, BAS−reward), and (2) antagonistic(BIS −reward, BAS −punishment).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify determinants of road user behaviour and accident involvement with the aim of developing effective accident countermeasures. But the role of personality in risk research still remains debatable and unclear.

TL;DR: The authors showed that overt narcissists report higher self-esteem and higher satisfaction with life than covert narcissists, and that selfesteem consistently mediated the associations between both types of narcissism and happiness, whereas self deception did not.

TL;DR: This paper explored the construct and incremental validity of the short 13 item version of Antonovsky's sense of coherence scale (SOC-13) using a community-based sample (N=439).

TL;DR: In this article, the role extraversion plays in influencing the utilization of social support and how this support might then subsequently influence extraverts' and introverts' differential experience of stress.

TL;DR: Hewitt et al. as mentioned in this paper found that self-oriented perfectionism was significantly associated with depression and anxiety, whereas socially prescribed perfectionism is significantly correlated with depression, anxiety, social stress, anger-suppression, and outwardly directed anger.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tried to identify variables that are differently related to social dominance orientation (SDO) and authoritarianism, and found that SDO represents a more modern kind of prejudice than authoritarianism.

TL;DR: In this article, multivariate genetic analyses were applied to the six facets defining each of the five personality domains (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) assessed by Costa and McCrae's Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R).

TL;DR: In this article, a sample of 222 subjects was administered the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and six typologies were considered: definitely morning, moderately morning, intermediate-morning, intermediatemorning, moderate morning, moderate evening, and definitely evening.

TL;DR: In this article, a sample of 683 university students, smoking, consumption of alcohol and drugs, and risky sexual behaviour were examined among eight types of personality factors, including neuroticism, extraversion, and conscientiousness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship among parenting experiences, adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism and depression proneness in a group of 261 college students and found that harsh and perfectionistic parenting lead to maladaptively perfectionism which, in turn, leads to depression.

TL;DR: For instance, Epstein et al. as discussed by the authors found that individual differences in participants' normative-statistical versus heuristic responses to judgmental tasks requiring the assessment of chances for the next event in a sequence were correlated positively with rational thinking style, and negatively with experiential-intuitive thinking style.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between personality traits and aspects of job satisfaction, and concluded that personality does not have a strong or consistent influence either on what individuals perceive as important in their work environment or on their levels of satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the relationship between different patterns of perfectionistic dimensions and sport-related competitive anxiety and self-confidence, for elite athletes with different self-esteem strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the divergent validity of Bar-On's EQ-i as compared to the General Adult Mental Ability scale (GAMA), a measure of fluid intelligence.

TL;DR: The authors explored the inter-relationships of the personality inventories of three structural models of personality: the Big Three, the Big Five, and the alternate five, and Goldberg's bipolar adjectives were added.

TL;DR: Kruger et al. as discussed by the authors showed that research from the other side of the scientific divide, namely the correlational approach (which focuses on individual differences), provides a very different perspective for people's views of their own intellectual abilities and knowledge.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the correlations between general ability and major personality traits and found that traits classifiable as adaptive in terms of personal and social adjustment have positive correlations with general ability, whilst maladaptive traits have negative correlations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a self-report measure, the Preferences Scale, to remedy deficiencies in existing scale content and format, and collected data from university students in six countries and found that the psychometric properties of the Preferences scale are adequate and comparable with an established morningness instrument, the Composite Scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between sensitivity on Gray's personality dimensions (behavioral inhibition and behavioral approach systems) and cue elicited craving was studied, and it was found that Behavioural Approach System (BAS) sensitivity was related to both desire and negative reinforcement aspects of alcohol craving.

TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between perceived parental characteristics and perfectionism in both men and women from two ethnic groups and found that harsh and authoritarian parenting styles were related to maladaptive, but not adaptive, components of perfectionism.
