Linking Dimensions and Dynamics in Psychopathology Research: An Example using DSM-5 Instruments
Publication date: Available online 2 August 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Michael J. Roche, Aaron L. Pincus, Paige ColeAbstractThe DSM-5 includes two measures to assess dimensions of personality pathology (Personality Inventory for DSM-5; PID-5) and cross-cutting symptoms of psychopathology (DSM-5 Cross-cutting Symptom Measure; CCS). Few studies have evaluated these measures in an ecologically valid context. Participants (N=248, student sample) completed self-report versions of the DSM-5 measures, and then completed a two-week daily diary of internalizing and externalizing outcomes. The CCS scale...

Personality Heterogeneity in Adolescents With Disruptive Behavior Disorders
Publication date: Available online 1 August 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Sylia Wilson, Christopher J. Hopwood, Matt McGue, William G. IaconoAbstractWe first confirmed adolescents diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders (oppositional defiant, conduct disorder; n = 158) had lower constraint and higher negative emotionality, and greater psychiatric comorbidity and psychosocial dysfunction, relative to adolescents without (n = 755), in a population-based sample enriched for externalizing psychopathology (mean age = 17.90 years; 52% female). We then explored whether different personality types, ...

Daily Playful Work Design: A Trait Activation Perspective
Publication date: Available online 31 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Yuri S. Scharp, Kimberley Breevaart, Arnold B. Bakker, Dimitri van der LindenAbstractWe introduce the concept of daily playful work design (PWD) and test the factorial validity of a new instrument to assess PWD. Using trait activation theory, we hypothesize that employees who are more open to experiences and playful will be more engaged and creative in their work on the days they playfully design their work activities. We tested the factorial validity of the instrument and our hypotheses in a sample of 88 employees who answe...

Five-Factor Personality Domains and Job Performance: A Second Order Meta-Analysis
Publication date: Available online 27 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Yimin He, M. Brent Donnellan, Anjelica M. MendozaAbstractSeveral meta-analyses have investigated the job-related validities of the traits associated with the Five-Factor Model (FFM). The presence of second-order sampling error, however, might complicate the interpretation of these meta-analyses (i.e., random error across different meta-analyses). The current paper therefore evaluates variability across different meta-analyses and tests for key moderators (i.e., performance criteria, sources of ratings, and context). Results ...

I’m paid biweekly, just not by leprechauns: Evaluating valid-but-incorrect response rates to attention check items
Publication date: Available online 26 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Paul G. Curran, Kelsey A. HauserAbstractParticipant carelessness is a source of invalidity in psychological data (Huang, Liu, & Bowling, 2015), and many methods have been created to screen for this carelessness (Curran, 2016, Johnson, 2005). These include items that researchers presume thoughtful individuals will answer in a given way (e.g., disagreement with “I am paid biweekly by leprechauns”, Meade & Craig, 2012). This paper reports on two samples in which individuals spoke aloud a series of these questions, and found...

Goal orientation and performance adaptation: A meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 23 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Lukasz StasielowiczAbstractThe relationship between goal orientation and performance adaptation across studies was assessed in the present article. The relevance of performance adaptation can be exemplified by the desire to optimize performance and mitigate the negative effects of change in organizational and educational contexts (i.e. new co-workers, new software, emergencies). Three-level meta-analyses were conducted for learning goal orientation (LGO) and performance goal orientation (PGO). Furthermore, within PGO a disti...

Extraversion and performance approach goal orientation: An integrative approach to personality
Publication date: Available online 23 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Jennifer Pickett, Joeri Hofmans, Filip De FruytAbstractResearch shows that extraversion is unrelated to performance approach goal orientation, both at the trait- and the state-level. However, since previous studies have either focused on the trait- or the state-level, such a conclusion may be premature. Building upon the idea that acting against one’s trait consumes self-control resources, we reason that within-person deviations from one’s level of trait extraversion might negatively relate to performance approach goal o...

Existential Isolation and Death Thought Accessibility
Publication date: Available online 19 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Peter J. Helm, Uri Lifshin, Ronald Chau, Jeff GreenbergAbstractThree studies examined how existential isolation (EI) relates to death-thought accessibility (DTA). Drawing upon the state-trait EI model and terror management theory, we posited EI would be associated with greater DTA. Studies 1a and 1b found trait EI to be correlated with baseline DTA. Evidence for mediation by ingroup identity was mixed. Studies 2 and 3 (a preregistered replication of Study 2) assessed whether priming EI would increase DTA relative to control ...

Clarifying the Associations between Big Five Personality Domains and Higher-Order Psychopathology Dimensions in Youth
Publication date: Available online 15 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Ashley L. Watts, Holly E. Poore, Scott O. Lilienfeld, Irwin D. WaldmanAbstractIn a large sample of youth (N = 942, 51% female), we found support for a 3 correlated factors model of psychopathology that comprised Distress, Fears, and Externalizing factors. Distress was positively associated with Neuroticism, Fears was not associated with Big Five dimensions, and Externalizing was negatively associated with Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Relations between lower-order psychopathology dimensions and the Big Five were gener...

‘Check Your Selfie before You Wreck Your Selfie’: Personality Ratings of Instagram Users as a Function of Self-Image Posts
This study considered the relation between self-image posts (i.e., selfies, posies) on Instagram and the personality and self-perception attributions made by unfamiliar perceivers based on those posts. Phase 1 involved 30 undergraduates who completed self-report inventories and whose Instagram posts were coded and then screenshot for the second phase. Phase 2 included 119 undergraduates from a different university. Phase 2 participants (perceivers) rated Phase 1 participants (targets) on 13 attributes (e.g., self-absorption, low self-esteem, extraversion, successfulness) based on these screenshots. Targets who posted more ...

The mediating role of trait emotional intelligence, prosocial behaviour, parental support and parental psychological control on the relationship between war trauma, and PTSD and depression
Conclusion: Trait EI and parental support can be utilized in interventions to empower children and adolescents’ emotional abilities, to strengthen their resilience in facing traumatic event exposure, and thus reduce its effect on PTSD and depression symptoms.

On the determinants of other-regarding behavior: Field tests of the moral foundations questionnaire☆,☆☆,★,★★
Publication date: August 2019Source: Journal of Research in Personality, Volume 81Author(s): Trevor O'Grady, Donald Vandegrift, Michael Wolek, Gregory BurrAbstractThis paper examines moral foundations as a predictor of other-regarding behavior outside a laboratory setting. We link responses to the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) with direct measures of other-regarding behavior in two studies. In both studies, moral foundations (as measured by the MFQ) predict other-regarding behavior. Study 1 finds the return rate of a follow-up survey is positively predicted by individualizing foundations and negatively predicted by...

Implicit achievement motive limits the impact of task difficulty on effort-related cardiovascular response
Publication date: Available online 2 July 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Florence Mazeres, Kerstin Brinkmann, Michael RichterAbstractIn contrast to the motive literature, motivational intensity theory predicts that the implicit achievement motive (nAch) should only exert an indirect impact on effort by limiting the impact of task difficulty. To contrast these two views, sixty-eight participants with a low or high nAch performed an easy or difficult arithmetic task. Effort was assessed using cardiac pre-ejection period (PEP). Supporting motivational intensity theory’s view, PEP response was low i...

Anger rumination partly accounts for the association between trait self-control and aggression
Publication date: Available online 29 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Jian-Bin Li, Kai Dou, Qiao-Min Situ, Silvia Salcuni, Yu-Jie Wang, Malte FrieseAbstractHigher trait self-control is related to less aggression, but the psychological processes underlying this association are largely unknown. This research tested the hypothesis that reduced anger rumination in high self-control individuals may partly account for this association. In seven cross-sectional, longitudinal and daily diary studies (total N=2,689) people high in trait self-control reported less aggression of different types and this ...
