TLDR
Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality, showing substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors.Abstract:
Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality. As in a previous study of self-reports (McCrae & Costa, 1985b), adjective factors of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness-antagonism, and conscientiousness-undirectedness were identified in an analysis of 738 peer ratings of 275 adult subjects. Intraclass correlations among raters, ranging from .30 to .65, and correlations between mean peer ratings and self-reports, from .25 to .62, showed substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors. Similar results were seen in analyses of scales from the NEO Personality Inventory. Items from the adjective factors were used as guides in a discussion of the nature of the five factors. These data reinforce recent appeals for the adoption of the five-factor model in personality research and assessment.read more

TL;DR: A collective intelligence factor characterizes group performance approximately as well for online groups as for face-to-face groups; and surprisingly, the ToM measure is equally predictive of collective intelligence in both face- to-face and online groups, even though the online groups communicate only via text and never see each other at all.

LSD enhances suggestibility in healthy volunteers
Robin L. Carhart-Harris,Mendel Kaelen,Matthew G. Whalley,Mark Bolstridge,Amanda Feilding,David J. Nutt +5 more
TL;DR: Enhanced suggestibility under LSD may have implications for its use as an adjunct to psychotherapy, where suggestibility plays a major role, and the results imply that individuals with high trait conscientiousness are especially sensitive to the suggestibility-enhancing effects of LSD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispositional affect and work-related stress.
TL;DR: The authors found that Trait positive affectivity did not attenuate relationships between work stressors and either subjective or objective stress outcomes, and that NA did not measure a factor in common with measures of subjective strain.

Personality and Assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the acquired meaning of stimuli and on the situation as perceived, viewing the individual as a cognitive-affective being who construes, interprets, and transforms the stimulus in a dynamic reciprocal interaction with the social world.
