An Integrated Model of Social Psychological and Personality Psychological Perspectives on Personality and Wellbeing
This article uses multi-rater data from 458 triads (students, mother, father, total N = 1374) to examine the relationship of personality ratings with wellbeing ratings, using a multi-method approach to separate accurate perceptions (shared across raters) from biased perceptions of the self (rater-specific variance). The social-psychological perspective predicts effects of halo bias in self-ratings on wellbeing, whereas the personality-psychological perspective predicts effects of personality traits on wellbeing. Results are more consistent with the personality perspective in that neuroticism (negative), extraversion, agree...

Associations of temperament and personality traits with frequency of physical activity in adulthood
This study, which examined both temperament and personality characteristics at age 42 in relation to frequency of PA at age 50 (JYLS, n = 214-261), also found associations with temperament traits. Positive associations were found between Orienting sensitivity and overall PA and between Extraversion and vigorous PA among women and between low Negative affectivity and overall and vigorous PA among men. Furthermore, Orienting sensitivity and Agreeableness were associated with vigorous PA among men. Temperament and personality characteristics also showed gender-specific associations with rambling in nature and watching sports....

Sex differences in humor production ability: A meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 22 October 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Gil Greengross, Paul J. Silvia, Emily C. NusbaumAbstractWe offer the first systematic quantitative meta-analysis on sex differences in humor production ability. We included studies where participants created humor output that was assessed for funniness by independent raters. Our meta-analysis includes 36 effect sizes from 28 studies published between 1976 and 2018 (N = 5057, 67% women). Twenty of the 36 effect sizes, accounting for 61% of the participants, were not previously published. Results based on random-effects mod...

Examining Personality—Job Characteristic Interactions in Explaining Work Outcomes
Publication date: Available online 18 October 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Rachel Williamson Smith, Michael M. DeNunzioAbstractAlthough research suggests personality traits and job characteristics are each important drivers of work outcomes, there has been little focus on potential interactions between the two. In the current studies, we integrate the theory of purposeful work behavior with the job demands-resources model to examine how five-factor model personality traits interact with job resources and challenging job demands in explaining employee motivation and performance. We tested our hyp...

Publication date: Available online 19 October 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Emily M. David, Mindy K. Shoss, Lars U. Johnson, L. Alan WittAbstractWe sought to better understand the impact of leader emotional stability on follower burnout. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, we examined the emotional exhaustion consequences of supervisor-subordinate emotional stability congruence. Study 1 consisted of 299 light construction and maintenance workers and their supervisors. Study 2 was comprised of 294 workers at a city permits office and their supervisors. As hypothesized, both samples reveal...

The Co-Development of Chores and Effortful Control among Mexican-Origin Youth and Prospective Work Outcomes
Publication date: Available online 12 October 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Rodica Ioana Damian, Olivia E. Atherton, Katherine M. Lawson, Richard W. RobinsAbstractThe present research examined: (a) the co-development of chores and effortful control, and (b) the prospective impact of effortful control development (i.e., initial levels and the trajectory of effortful control from late childhood through adolescence) on work outcomes in young adulthood. We used data from a longitudinal study of 674 Mexican-origin youth assessed at ages 10, 12, 14, 16, and 19. We found no evidence of co-developmental ...

Kindergarten self-control mediates the gender reading achievement gap: A population-based cohort study
Publication date: December 2019Source: Journal of Research in Personality, Volume 83Author(s): Michael Daly, Roisin P. CorcoranAbstractCould superior self-control explain the gender difference in reading achievement favoring girls? To test this idea, we drew on a unique population-based sample (N = 11,336) where self-control was measured in kindergarten using a multimethod battery of assessments. Girls showed substantially higher levels of self-control in kindergarten (β = 0.47) and outperformed boys on standardized tests of reading achievement in third/fourth grade (β = 0.20). Further, kindergarten self-cont...

Does high self-esteem foster narcissism? Testing the bidirectional relationships between self-esteem, narcissistic admiration and rivalry
We examined the longitudinal associations between self-esteem and narcissism in a three-wave panel study (N=557). In a standard cross-lagged panel model, self-esteem had a positive bidirectional relationship with narcissistic admiration. Narcissistic rivalry predicted increases in narcissistic admiration, but the corresponding reciprocal cross-lagged effect was not significant, nor were the cross-lagged associations between self-esteem and narcissistic rivalry. However, a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model (which partitions between- and within-person variance) failed to identify significant cross-lagged relationship...

KruegerAbstractThe aims of the present study were as follows: (1) Using a large sample of adults, estimate overlap between social-relational exposures measured at midlife and well-being measured at midlife and approximately 9-years later. (2) Using a subsample of twins, test for heritable variation in social-relational exposures, and (3) controlling for heritable and shared environmental variation, estimate overlap between social-relational exposures and well-...

Do people know how they’ve changed? A longitudinal investigation of volitional personality change and participants’ retrospective perceptions thereof
Publication date: Available online 17 September 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Nathan W. Hudson, Jaime Derringer, Daniel A. BrileyAbstractPrior research has found that most people want to change their personalities. Moreover, these change goals predict trait growth. The present study extended this by examining both actual change in self-report traits and people’s perceptions of how they have changed across 16 weeks. Results indicated moderate alignment between trait growth and perceived change (average r = .49)—with 39% of responses indicating perceived changes in the opposite direction of tra...

Only Children in the 21st Century: Personality Differences between Adults With and Without Siblings are Very, Very Small
Publication date: Available online 10 September 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Samantha Stronge, John Shaver, Joseph Bulbulia, Chris G. SibleyAbstractNegative beliefs about only children suggest that they are spoiled and unlikable, with these early personality differences persisting across the lifespan. Early research found little support for the idea, yet, negative views towards only children remain prevalent. The current research re-visited the issue using a large national panel study of New Zealand adults (N = 20,592) to assess mean differences in personality between those with and without sibl...

Is there an ‘End of History Illusion’ for Life Satisfaction? Evidence from a Three-Wave Longitudinal Study
Publication date: Available online 11 September 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Holly Harris, Michael A. BusseriAbstractAccording to the ‘end of history illusion’ (EOHI) individuals underestimate the amount of future change they will experience. Using results from a three-wave longitudinal study of American adults (N = 2390, mean age = 55.31 years, 56% female), we examined ratings of recollected past (10 years prior), current, and anticipated future (10 years later) life satisfaction at Wave 2, as well as current life satisfaction at Wave 1 (nine years earlier) and at Wave 3 (nine years later)....
