TL;DR: In this article, the authors used item factor analyses and readability analyses to select new items from the remaining subset of Revised NEO Personality Inventory items, which showed modest improvements in reliability and factor structure, and equivalent validity.

TL;DR: The authors examined the role of trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) in academic performance and in deviant behavior at school on a sample of 650 pupils in British secondary education (mean age ≈16.5 years).

TL;DR: In this article, the transition from high school to university was used as the context for examining the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement, and the results showed that academic success was strongly associated with emotional intelligence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the discriminant, criterion and incremental validity of an ability measure of emotional intelligence (EI) and found that higher EI in males was associated with negative outcomes, including illegal drug and alcohol use, deviant behaviour, and poor relations with friends.

TL;DR: In this paper, a questionnaire consisting of three environmental knowledge scales and a conservation behavior measure was sent to 5000 randomly selected Swiss adults. A completed questionnaire was returned by 55% of them (N=2736).

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis review of studies on 21 samples from 15 countries (total N = 8551) using the Schwartz's model of values in order to investigate how religiosity is related to the importance attributed to values was conducted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared varying models of the perfectionism construct using the best known measures of perfectionism, and found that maladaptive evaluative concerns was more strongly associated with depression, anxiety, stress, and test taking anxiety.

TL;DR: In this article, the construct and criterion-related validity of an ability-based measure of EI (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2000b) were examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the factorial and content validity of Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being (SPWB) in a sample of psychology students (N=233).

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between students' approaches to learning, as measured by a short-form of Entwistle and Tait's (1995) Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory (RASI), the Big Five personality factors, measured by Cattell's 16PFi, and the background variables of age, gender and prior educational achievement and academic performance was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared men and women in terms of the extent to which they use specific cognitive emotion regulation strategies in response to the experience of life stress and whether the use of these strategies is related to the reporting of depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: The relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement in high school was examined in this paper, where students attending a high school in Huntsville, Alabama completed the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i:YV) at the end of the academic year and matched with students' academic records for the year.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a framework that essentially requires measuring behavior more generally, based on a theory of goal-directed performance, and tested a set of 50 behaviors by simultaneously applying a one and a six-dimensional Rasch-type model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of psychopathic individuals to process facial emotional expressions was investigated with a set of facial expressions depicting six emotions: happy, surprised, disgusted, angry, sad and fearful.

TL;DR: This article investigated the effect on the scale's psychometric properties of reversing some items and adding some new items and found that the use of item reversals and additional items did not improve the EI scale's internal reliability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the factor structure and short-term temporal stability of the Revised Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaire (Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000) and found that the scale provided a reliable and replicable dual factor self-report measure of adult romantic attachment.

TL;DR: This paper investigated the relationship between child anxiety, parental anxiety, and perceived current parental rearing practices, using a multiple informants approach, that is, by aggregating the perception of the child, parent and partner on parental re-aring behaviors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested hypotheses about the relationship between attachment orientations and emotional intelligence, measured as a set of abilities (perception, facilitation, understanding and management of emotion).

TL;DR: In this article, celebrity attachment was investigated in a sample of 191 British adolescents between the ages of 11 and 16, using a shortened version of the Celebrity Attitude Scale and found that high emotional autonomy was a significant predictor of celebrity interest, as well as high attachment to peers and low attachment to parents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the associations between the personality variables of the five-factor model and close relationship variables (love styles, relationship satisfaction, and intimacy) and found that neuroticism was negatively associated with and predictive of satisfaction and intimacy.

TL;DR: This paper explored the relation between individual decision-making styles as measured by the General Decision-making Style (GDMS) test, developed by Scott and Bruce (1995), and some mental abilities theoretically related to decision making.

TL;DR: This paper measured emotional intelligence, extraversion and agreeableness correlated moderately with total Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) (p. 6) and reported that extraversion was correlated with total trait meta-mood scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the construct validity of EI by examining its relations to cognitive ability and the Big Five personality dimensions of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness.

TL;DR: The authors explored the associations and interactions between social rank (submissive behaviour and social comparison), shame, rumination and depression, and found that social rank and shame are highly related and that both shame and social rank are significantly correlated with rumination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the role of personality traits in predicting success in professional rugby league and found that players playing at the highest level of rugby league had significantly higher mental toughness.

TL;DR: The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) as discussed by the authors was administered to 2105 high school students in Hong Kong and the results showed that the higher-order factors were completely redundant with the first-order factor of significant other support which appeared to measure both friends and family support.

TL;DR: This article used item factor analysis to identify four dimensions of perceived emotional intelligence, leading to the construction of four corresponding empirical scales, including positive utilisation and emotional appraisal, followed by empathic sensitivity and positive regulation.

TL;DR: This article evaluated the relation between visual and verbal working memory; state, trait, and math anxiety; gender; and applied and basic math performance in 100 adults and found that math anxiety was the strongest predictor of both applied and Basic math performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the correlations between personality traits and intelligence were examined in an in-depth examination of correlations between, and factor structure of, measured intelligence and personality scales chosen to measure the dimensions of Openness and need for achievement.
