Showing papers in "Personality and Individual Differences in 2003"

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored links between emotional intelligence, measured as a set of abilities, and personality traits, as well as the contribution of both to the perceived quality of one's interpersonal relationships.

TL;DR: In this paper, a short self-report emotional intelligence (EI) measure was completed by a sample of 354 students, who also completed a range of affective and personality measures.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the literature on just world beliefs (BJW) and updated two previous reviews Lerner & Miller (1978), Furnham & Proctor (1989) and identified four broad areas of development were identified.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis contains the correlations of 121 studies examining the relation between procrastination and personality variables, motives, affect, and performance, and the largest negative effect sizes were found in relation to conscientiousness and self-efficacy, while the largest positive relation was found with self-handicapping.

TL;DR: The role of intelligence and motivation in predicting academic success is well established as discussed by the authors, however, evidence is mixed concerning the role of personality traits in predicting such success, with only two personality traits yielding significant zero-order correlations with eventual undergraduate success with Openness to experience and Agreeableness being positively associated with final grades.

TL;DR: One hundred and eleven individuals completed the NEO Five Factor Inventory along with three measures of subjective well-being, the Oxford Happiness Inventory, the Depression-Happiness Scale, and the Satisfaction With Life Scale as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a direct effects and buffering model was tested in relation to cognitive hardiness and coping for general health and psychological functioning, and the results supported a direct effect model of the relationship between life stress and psychological health.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined correlations and causes of happiness and depression among adolescents and found that extraversion was significantly correlated with positive affect, negative affect, depression, and happiness.

TL;DR: In this article, two studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that trait anger is related to trait behavioral approach sensitivity (BAS) at the simple correlation level, and statistically controlling for general negative affect, which correlates with both anger and BIS, revealed that BAS and not BIS related to anger.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the Big Five factors in late childhood through self-report as well as parent and teacher ratings of elementary and junior high school children and found that these factors showed a high degree of congruence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided validation for Whiteside and Lynam's UPPS model and tested some of the specific hypotheses offered by Whiteside et al. They found that the four personality traits were differentially related to various behaviors and forms of psychopathology consistent with many of Whiteside's predictions.

TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic achievement in college students, using both self-report and ability-based measures of EI, and found that EI is not a strong predictor of academic achievement regardless of the type of instrument used to measure it.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the roles of self-esteem and optimism in the relationship between psychosocial work stressors and well-being for a sample of Finnish employees (n=457).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on four studies aimed at testing Fisher's theoretical model, and establishing the validity and reliability of a new self-rating questionnaire (Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire; SWBQ), developed to reflect this model.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that the revised positive version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale had less overlap with a measure of depression, and both revised versions had fewer overlap with self-deception, whereas the reworded versions generally fit a one-factor model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to evaluate the magnitude of gender differences in verbal and visual-spatial functions and to correlate the results with a self-rating of these abilities in healthy men and women.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the relationship between perceived parenting styles, depersonalisation, anxiety and coping behaviour in a normal high school student sample (N=276) and found that perceived parental psychological pressure correlated positively with depersonality and trait anxiety among the adolescents, while perceived parental warmth was positively associated with active coping and negatively correlated with trait anxiety in the adolescents.

TL;DR: The authors integrated personality traits and personal values and found that personal values are influenced in predicted patterns by Openness/Intellect, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness as well as, more moderately, by Extraversion.

TL;DR: The authors used a hierarchical multiple regression analysis to study the relationship between general intelligence, Big Five personality constructs, and a measure of work drive in relation to course grade in an undergraduate psychology course for 175 students over a 5-year period.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the inclusion of all seven dimensions of personality in a taxonomy of personality is warranted, and that familial aggregation for the character dimensions could be entirely explained by additive gene action alone.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how rumination is related to different negative moods and whether rumination and negative mood may be independently associated with subjective sleep quality at a non-clinical level.

TL;DR: In this article, a total of 183 university students completed measures of attachment, social and emotional loneliness, and social skills, and found that social skills are related on several significant dimensions.

TL;DR: In this article, scales most used in anxiety and impulsivity assessment are studied and compared in order to provide some empirical clues that could help in the decision on which scale to use for the assessment of individual differences in anxiety.

TL;DR: The Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) as mentioned in this paper is a questionnaire for assessing self-esteem in Dutch school children, which has been shown to be a reliable and valid self-report measure for assessing children's selfesteem.

TL;DR: A new 13-item version of the Impact of Event Scale was adminstered to 9–14 year old children from Bosnia as part of a large epidemiological screening survey, showing the scale to have an identical underlying factor structure as when it was used with British children who experienced a single-incident trauma.

TL;DR: This article used a remote associates test (RAT) to measure creativity and deductive reasoning problems to measure analytic ability and found that RAT scores predicted ability to use peripheral cues, whereas scores on the deductive task did not.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between uncertainty and health was investigated by means of an experiment in which physiological arousal was measured during a period of experimentally-induced uncertainty, and it was shown that uncertainty response-emotional predicted increases in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure during anticipation prior to the occurrence of a possible threat of unknown intensity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theory encapsulating ecological attitude sets in two orthogonal higher-order factors: Utilisation (UT) and Preservation (PRE); and relate these to Eysenck's personality factors of Psychoticism (P), Extraversion (E) and Neuroticism (N) and to the associated “fake good” (L) Scale quantifying social desirability response set.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a new approach to test the sufficiency of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in understanding intentions to behave ecologically, based on two panel surveys, and explore whether the TPB should be extended into the moral domain by applying an aggregated, more reliable, and thus, more valid version of TPB.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mediational role of stress and health behaviors in the procrastination-illness relationship was examined, and it was hypothesized that in addition to stress, a behavioral pathway would be implicated, with poor weliness behaviors and delay in seeking treatment for health problems mediating the effects of procrastinations on health.
