TL;DR: This paper found that women's perceptions align precisely with men's mate preferences: women perceive men to be attracted to cues to lordosis behavior in short-term but not long-term contexts, and women are attracted to an intermediate angle of lumbar curvature independent of mating context.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the associations between the Dark Triad personality (DTP), the Light Triad (LTP), and pro-environmental behavior (PEB), and the mediating roles of value orientations (biospheric, egoistic, and altruistic values) in these relationships.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated whether facets account for greater variance in conflict management than factors and whether differences in facet-level predictors contribute to greater differentiation between conflict management styles in light of evidence that some styles are not empirically distinguishable.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that openness is positively related to episodic memory performance across all age groups. But conscientiousness was weakly associated with episodic memories in young people but not in middle-aged or older adults.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the role of personality traits in interpreting assessment and found that high-neuroticism novice interpreters were more likely to overestimate the probability and severity of perceived problems than professional interpreters.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated if explicit motives are associated with the propensity to initiate negotiations and concluded that explicit motives and traits should not be used interchangeably and that traits and explicit motives might have complementary effects on negotiation initiation.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors considered the possibility that personality leads to certain love styles which then lead to social rejection in the forms of low self-esteem and high loneliness, and showed that these personality traits may be associated with problematic love styles, which in turn lead to more social rejection.

TL;DR: In this article , a comprehensive literature search identified 60 studies (147 effect sizes; 16,955 participants) that met inclusion criteria, and data were analysed using inverse-variance weighted random effects meta-analysis.

TL;DR: This article explored the effect of family functioning on secondary vocation students' problematic behavior, and the mediating role of hope and the moderating roles of perceived social support (PSS).

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the contribution of each of these four levels of connectedness in determining pro-environmental behaviours (PEB) and found that connectedness to nature was the strongest mediator and predictor in the model.
