TL;DR: A conceptual replication of the association between DRD4 VNTR and altruism measured with the well-established Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) is reported.
Abstract: In this journal, Bachner-Melman et al.1 reported that the 48-bp variable number of tandem repeat in the third exon of the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4 VNTR) is associated with self-reported altruism. Despite mounting evidence for a role of dopamine in prosocial behavior,2, 3, 4 this result has not been replicated yet, perhaps because of the rare usage of the applied Selflessness Scale. Here, we report a conceptual replication of the association between DRD4 VNTR and altruism measured with the well-established Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; see Strobel et al.2).

TL;DR: The Celebrity Worship Scale (CWS) as discussed by the authors is a five-factor personality model that measures the attitude, traits and behaviors of those who "worship" at least one celebrity (McCutcheon, Lange, & Houran, 2002).
Abstract: In the second half of the twentieth century social critics observed that western societies were undergoing a seemingly unhealthy and pervasive trend: Real heroes were being replaced by celebrities--persons whose achievements amounted to little more than being able to sing, dance, and appear more photogenic than most (Boorstin, 1961; Fishwick, 1969). This trend continues, promoted first by radio and moving pictures, then by television and more modern technology. More recently, critics have decried a deliberate attempt on the part of television executives to create an entire society of celebrity worshipers, people who would follow the potentially harmful, uninformed advice sometimes offered by these dubious heroes, especially if it increased the sale of sponsored products (Bogart, 1980; Schickel, 1985). The development and publication of the Celebrity Worship Scale (CWS) triggered a modest amount of research aimed at determining the attitudes, traits and behaviors of those who "worshiped" at least one celebrity (McCutcheon, Lange, & Houran, 2002). A factor analysis revealed three factors consisting of 23 items. This revision of the CWS became known as the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS; Maltby, Houran, Lange, Ashe, & McCutcheon, 2002; Maltby, McCutcheon, Ashe, & Houran, 2001). The first factor or subscale was labeled "Entertainment-social (ES)," because its ten items implied that some persons are attracted to celebrities because they have entertainment value and they provide opportunities for conversation. Factor or subscale two was named the "Intense-personal (IP)" subscale because its nine items reflect a deeper, more intense involvement with one's favorite celebrity. Factor or subscale three, "Borderline-pathological, (Path)" consists of four items that, if agreed with, imply a problematic, parasocial relationship. Subsequent research has shown that the first factor, ES, is relatively benign, but those who score high on subscales two and three (IP and Path) are likely to exhibit attitudes and behaviors that are problematic. For example, Maltby, Giles, Barber and McCutcheon (2005) found that female adolescents who scored high on CAS IP (but not ES) tended to have a poor body image. Maltby, Day, McCutcheon, Houran and Ashe (2005) found that celebrity worship for Intense-personal reasons was correlated with fantasy proneness, and celebrity worship for Borderline-pathological reasons was linked to both fantasy proneness and dissociation. Maltby, Houran and McCutcheon (2003) found positive relationships between celebrity worship for Entertainment-social reasons and extraversion, one of the three dimensions of Eysenck's personality model (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975). However, IP scores correlated positively with Eysenck's neuroticism traits, and Path scores correlated with Eysenckian psychoticism traits (Maltby, et al.). A study of coping with stress, general health and life satisfaction led to the conclusion that poor mental health was associated with high scores on CAS IP (Maltby, Day, McCutcheon, Gillett, Houran, & Ashe, 2004). In addition to finding that high CAS IP scores and high CAS Path scores predicted both depressive symptoms and higher anxiety, Maltby, McCutcheon, Ashe, and Houran (2001) also found an association between CAS ES and depressive symptoms. The five-factor trait approach to the study of personality represents a modern synthesis of some of the most important traits commonly used to describe human beings (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The five-factor model and the scales based on it are "well-established and widely used" (Batey, Chamorro-Premuzic, & Furnham, 2009, p. 62). The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992) measures the five-factor model of personality through five main domains (italicized), each subdivided into six facets or subscales (in brackets): (1) Neuroticism (Anxiety, Angry Hostility, Depression, Self-Consciousness, Impulsiveness and Vulnerability), (2) Extraversion (Warmth, Gregariousness, Assertiveness, Activity, Excitement Seeking, and Positive Emotions), (3) Openness (Fantasy, Aesthetics, Feelings, Actions, Ideas and Values), (4) Agreeableness (Trust, Straightforwardness, Altruism, Compliance, Modesty and Tender-Mindedness), and (5) Conscientiousness (Competence, Order, Dutifulness, Achievement Striving, Self-discipline and Deliberation). …

TL;DR: Ratings by parents and peers showed significant incremental validity over self-ratings in the prediction of certain trait-adjustment relationships in students’ adjustment to college.
Abstract: Studies that relate normal personality traits to students’ adjustment to college have relied heavily on self-rating methods, concurrent designs, and academic performance indicators as criteria. We conducted a prospective study of high school seniors with a follow-up assessment made near the end of their freshman year of college. Self-ratings of personality traits and college adjustment were obtained from 90 students using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI–R; Costa & McCrae, 1992) and the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ; Baker & Siryk, 1989). Ratings of personality were also obtained from parents (n = 66) and same-sex peers from the college setting (n = 78) using the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO–FFI; Costa & McCrae, 1992). SACQ Academic Adjustment was correlated with Conscientiousness ratings by all three sources and with Openness ratings by parents and peers. SACQ Social Adjustment was correlated with self-ratings of Neuroticism and peer ratings of Extraversion. SACQ Person...

TL;DR: Associations between self-report measures were modest but consistent with previous findings on the link between personality and alcohol use, and higher scores on the order and self-discipline facets of conscientiousness were associated with reduced risk of heavy alcohol consumption.
