TL;DR: Analyses across and within cultures confirmed the intended factor structure of both versions when used to describe young adolescents, and implications of these cross-cultural findings for the advancement of studies in adolescence and personality development across the lifespan are discussed.
Abstract: The structure and psychometric characteristics of the NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO-PI-3), a more readable version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), are examined and compared with NEO-PI-R characteristics using data from college student observer ratings of 5,109 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years from 24 cultures Replacement items in the PI-3 showed on average stronger item-total correlations and slightly improved facet reliabilities compared with the NEO-PI-R in both English- and non-English-speaking samples NEO-PI-3 replacement items did not substantially affect scale means compared with the original scales Analyses across and within cultures confirmed the intended factor structure of both versions when used to describe young adolescents The authors discuss implications of these cross-cultural findings for the advancement of studies in adolescence and personality development across the lifespan

TL;DR: Of NEO-PI-R predictors, Agreeableness was most important in characterizing differences between various achievement orientations and Openness and Conscientiousness were least helpful in differentiating among achievement Orientations.
Abstract: The authors investigated the relationship between basic achievement orientations of competition and cooperation and the five-factor model of personality as measured by the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; P. T. Costa & R. R. McCrae, 1992). They examined 2 types of competition: hypercompetition (R. M. Ryckman, B. Thornton, & J. C. Butler, 1994) and personal development competition (R. M. Ryckman, M. Hammer, L. M. Kaczor, & J. A. Gold, 1996), as conceptualized by K. Horney (1937). In a sample of 251 young adults, 14% to 38% of the variance in achievement orientations was collectively predicted by NEO-PI-R domain scales. Of NEO-PI-R predictors, Agreeableness was most important in characterizing differences between various achievement orientations; Agreeableness was negatively related to hypercompetition, positively related to cooperation, and unrelated to personal development competition. Extraversion was positively related to both cooperation and personal development competition but was...

TL;DR: The authors examined the meaning of these evaluative dimensions from the perspective of the five-factor model and found that positive valence and negative valence were not related to measures of response bias and did not moderate self/observer agreement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified a genome-wide significant association between the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and rs7600563 (P=2 × 10−8), a single-nucleotide polymorphism mapped within the catenin cadherin-associated protein, alpha 2 (CTNNA2), which encodes for a brain-expressed α-catenin critical for synaptic contact.
Abstract: The tendency to seek stimulating activities and intense sensations define excitement-seeking, a personality trait akin to some aspects of sensation-seeking. This trait is a central feature of extraversion and is a component of the multifaceted impulsivity construct. Those who score high on measures of excitement-seeking are more likely to smoke, use other drugs, gamble, drive recklessly, have unsafe/unprotected sex and engage in other risky behaviors of clinical and social relevance. To identify common genetic variants associated with the Excitement-Seeking scale of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory, we performed genome-wide association studies in six samples of European ancestry (N=7860), and combined the results in a meta-analysis. We identified a genome-wide significant association between the Excitement-Seeking scale and rs7600563 (P=2 × 10−8). This single-nucleotide polymorphism maps within the catenin cadherin-associated protein, alpha 2 (CTNNA2) gene, which encodes for a brain-expressed α-catenin critical for synaptic contact. The effect of rs7600563 was in the same direction in all six samples, but did not replicate in additional samples (N=5105). The results provide insight into the genetics of excitement-seeking and risk-taking, and are relevant to hyperactivity, substance use, antisocial and bipolar disorders.

TL;DR: This research indicates that personality traits confer risk for disease, in part, through health-risk behaviors, however, these traits were relatively resistant to the effect of serious disease.
Abstract: Objective Personality traits have been associated with chronic disease Less is known about the longitudinal relation between personality and disease and whether chronic disease is associated with changes in personality Method Participants from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (N = 2,008) completed the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and a standard medical interview at regularly scheduled visits; the Charlson Comorbidity Index, a weighted sum of 19 serious diseases, was derived from this interview Using data from 6,685 visits, we tested whether personality increased risk of disease and whether disease was associated with personality change Results Measured concurrently, neuroticism and conscientiousness were associated with greater disease burden The impulsiveness facet of neuroticism was the strongest predictor of developing disease across the follow-up period: For every standard deviation increase in impulsiveness, there was a 26% increased risk of developing disease and a 36% increased risk of getting more ill Personality traits changed only modestly with disease: As participants developed chronic illnesses, they became more conservative (decreased openness) Discussion This research indicates that personality traits confer risk for disease, in part, through health-risk behaviors These traits, however, were relatively resistant to the effect of serious disease
