Does diversity in team members’ agreeableness benefit creative teams?
Publication date: Available online 17 February 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Sean Lee, Guihyun ParkAbstractWhile deep-level diversity among team members are often discussed as important catalysts of team creativity, little is currently understood about the impact of diversity in team members’ personality on team creativity and team satisfaction. We propose that diversity in team member agreeableness reduce the effectiveness of creative teams through its impact on conflict experienced. 93 student teams participated in a laboratory study where each member had their personality traits assessed bef...

Just as WEIRD? Personality Traits and Political Attitudes Among Immigrant Minorities
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Joseph A. Vitriol, Erik Gahner Larsen, Steven G. LudekeAbstractA large body of literature has examined how personality traits relate to political attitudes and behavior. However, like many studies in personality psychology, these investigations rely on Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic (WEIRD) samples. Whether these findings generalize to minority populations remains underexplored. We address this oversight by studying if the observed correlations between personality traits and political variables us...

How Our Work Influences Who We Are: Testing a Theory of Vocational and Personality Development over Fifty Years
This study examines the developmental influences of occupational environments on personality traits from childhood to adulthood. We test aspects of a theory of vocational and personality development, proposing that traits develop in response to work experience following corresponsive and noncorresponsive mechanisms. We describe these pathways in the context of situations of vocational gravitation and inhabitation. In a sample from the Hawaii personality and health cohort (N = 596), we examined associations of childhood and adulthood personality traits, with occupational environments profiled on the RIASEC model. Mediations...

Inside the Happy Personality: Personality States, Situation Experience, and State Affect Mediate the Relation Between Personality and Affect
Publication date: Available online 29 January 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Sarah Kritzler, Julia Krasko, Maike LuhmannAbstractPersonality traits are strongly related to affect, but the mechanisms accounting for this association remain mostly unclear. We test a new theoretical model that proposes that personality states, situations, and affective experiences mediate the relation between personality traits and trait affect. Data from an experience sampling study (N=206; 4,381 observations) indicate that personality traits are associated with personality states and experienced situation characteris...

Shame behind the corner? A daily diary investigation of pathological narcissism
This study investigated the association between narcissism and shame, considering different measures of narcissism, different levels of analysis, and different situational conditions. Nonclinical participants (N = 196) completed baseline measures, followed by daily questionnaires for 28 days. Multilevel models indicated that trait and daily vulnerable narcissism, as well as trait neuroticism, were positively associated with daily shame. When controlling for vulnerable narcissism, trait grandiose narcissism was unrelated to shame, and daily grandiose narcissism was mostly negatively related to it. As for situations, social ...

A Multi-Method Investigation of the Personality Correlates of Digital Aggression
Publication date: Available online 20 January 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): M. Kim, SL. Clark, MB. Donnellan, SA. BurtAbstractDigital aggression (DA) refers to the use of computer-mediated technologies to harm others. A handful of previous studies have provided mixed results regarding the personality correlates of DA. We clarified these findings by analyzing the associations between three measures of DA (behavioral, Twitter, and self-report) and the Big Five traits using data from 1167 undergraduate participants. Big Five personality trait measures predicted all three DA measures, but results var...

On Rhetoric and Ratings: Assessing Narrative Identity via Conceptual Coding and Self-Ratings
Publication date: Available online 17 January 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): William L. Dunlop, Nicole Harake, Dulce Wilkinson, Laura GrahamAbstractNarrative identity is commonly assessed by prompting participants for descriptions of key scenes (e.g., turning points). Coders then quantify these scenes for features such as redemption (negative beginning, positive ending), contamination (positive beginning, negative ending), and affective tone. Here, we incorporated an additional, complimentary assessment in the study of narrative identity: self-ratings. Across two studies, participants narrated sce...

The Unfolding Dark Side: Age Trends in Dark Personality Features
Publication date: Available online 16 January 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Theo A. Klimstra, Bertus F. Jeronimus, Jelle J. Sijtsema, Jaap J.A. DenissenAbstractAge and gender differences across the lifespan in dark personality features could provide hints regarding these features’ functions. We measured manipulation, callous affect, and egocentricity using the Dirty Dozen and their links with agreeableness in a pooled cross-sectional dataset (N = 4,292) and a longitudinal dataset (N = 325). Age trends for all dark personality features were progressive through adolescence, but negative through a...

State-Level Impulsivity, Affect, and Alcohol: A Psychometric Evaluation of the Momentary Impulsivity Scale Across Two Intensive Longitudinal Samples
Publication date: Available online 15 January 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Angela K. Stevens, Brittany E. Blanchard, Amelia E. Talley, Jennifer L. Brown, Max A. Halvorson, Tim Janssen, Kevin M. King, Andrew K. LittlefieldAbstractWe reexamined the psychometric properties of the Momentary Impulsivity Scale (MIS) in two young adult samples using daily diary (N=77) and ecological momentary assessment (N=147). A one-factor between- and within-person structure was supported, though “I felt impatient” loaded poorly within-person. MIS scores consistently related to emotion-driven trait impulsivity; ...

A Multilevel Moderated Mediational Model of the Daily Relationships between Hassles, Exhaustion, Ego-resiliency and Resulting Emotional Inertia
Publication date: Available online 13 January 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Guido Alessandri, Evelina De Longis, Nancy Eisenberg, Stevan E. HobfollAbstractNegative emotional inertia refers to the degree of which a current emotional state can be predicted by a previous emotional state and it represents a relevant marker of psychological maladjustment. The current study tested a theoretical model in which the dynamic impact of daily hassles on negative emotional inertia is mediated by exhaustion, and moderated by individuals’ level of ego-resiliency. Participants were 173 sophomore students (60% ...

Personality change goals and plans as predictors of longitudinal trait change in young adults: A replication with an Iranian sample
Publication date: Available online 9 January 2020Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Samaneh Asadi, Hamideh Mohammadi Dehaj, Oliver RobinsonAbstractGoals and plans for changing one’s personality traits have been found to be commonly held, particularly in young adults. Evidence for whether such goals and plans can predict actual trait change is mixed. The current study replicated and extended the methodology of a previous study to investigate whether trait change goals and plans predict change over a year in an Iranian sample of students. It was found that goals and plans before and after the 12-month per...

Inter-individual Differences in Intra-individual Variability in Personality Within and Across Contexts
This study focuses on intra-individual variability in personality at work, and how it relates tojob performance. 288 professionals completed contextualised adjective-based personality assessments in work and non-work contexts, and a non-contextualised personality measure. Ratings of their personality were also obtained from colleagues, family members and friends. Supervisors provided performance ratings for 130 participants. Results indicate that personality is context- and source-dependent, and varies systematically within contexts intra-individually regardless of source. Whilst this variability was predictive of some per...
