No Personality Change Following Unemployment: A Registered Replication of Boyce, Wood, Daly, and Sedikides (2015)
Publication date: Available online 28 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Timo Gnambs, Barbara StiglbauerAbstractThe involuntary loss of paid employment represents an adverse life event that has been suggested to lead to personality change. However, previous research has reported highly contradictory findings. Therefore, a replication of Boyce et al. (2015) is presented. These authors originally identified nonlinear changes in openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Using data from the German National Education Panel Study (N = 5,005), we examined the impact of unemployment on personality ...

Westgate, Jane Tucker, Charles R. Ebersole, Jordan Axt, Elizabeth Gilbert, Brandon W. NgAbstractPsychologists have thought of a good life in terms of its happiness or meaning. We propose that psychological richness is another, neglected aspect of a good life. In Study 1, we administered an initial questionnaire to a student sample, testing 2-week test-retest stability, convergent validity using informant reports. We conducted ...

On the Determinants of Other-Regarding Behavior: Field Tests of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire,,,
Publication date: Available online 22 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(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 predi...

Contextualizing neuroticism in the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology
Publication date: Available online 14 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Cassandra M. Brandes, Jennifer L. TackettAbstractNeuroticism is the personality trait most consistently and strongly connected to psychopathology. The majority of research on the relationship between traits and mental illness has focused on neuroticism’s connection with broad psychopathology spectra or discrete disorders. However, both personality and psychopathology are hierarchically-organized domains that may be examined at multiple levels of fidelity and bandwidth from very specific thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (i...

Cigarette Smoking and Personality Change Across Adulthood: Findings from Five Longitudinal Samples
Publication date: Available online 14 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Yannick Stephan, Angelina R. Sutin, Martina Luchetti, Pauline Caille, Antonio TerraccianoAbstractPersonality traits are related to cigarette smoking. However, little is known about the link between smoking and change in personality. Therefore, the present study examined whether current cigarette smoking and smoking cessation are associated with personality change across adulthood. Participants (n=15,572) aged from 20 to 92 years were drawn from five longitudinal cohorts with follow-ups that ranged from 4 to 20 years. Compare...

Investigating the Interplay Between Adolescent Personality, Parental Control, and Externalizing Problem Behavior Across Adolescence
This study explored transactional associations among adolescent personality (i.e., conscientiousness, agreeableness), parental control (i.e., proactive, punitive, psychological control), and externalizing problem behavior (i.e., aggressive or rule-breaking behavior). A three-wave longitudinal study across a two-year time span provided questionnaire data from 1,116 adolescents (Mage Wave 1= 13.79, 51% boys), 841 mothers, and 724 fathers that was used in random intercept cross-lagged panel models. At the between-person level, adolescent personality, parental control, and externalizing problem behavior were significantly asso...

Examining the unique and combined effects of grit, trait self-control, and conscientiousness in predicting motivation for academic goals: A commonality analysis
Publication date: Available online 11 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Kaitlyn M. Werner, Marina Milyavskaya, Rebecca Klimo, Shelby L. LevineAbstractThe purpose of the present research was to examine the predicative ability of both the unique and combined components of grit, trait self-control, and conscientiousness in the context of academic goal pursuit. Participants (n1=163, n2=551) were asked to complete assessments of each self-regulatory trait and reported their motivation for an academic goal. Together, grit, trait self-control, and conscientiousness explained 9.9% of the variance in aca...

Sensory Processing Sensitivity and its association with personality traits and affect: A meta-analysis
Publication date: August 2019Source: Journal of Research in Personality, Volume 81Author(s): Francesca Lionetti, Massimiliano Pastore, Ughetta Moscardino, Annalaura Nocentini, Karen Pluess, Michal PluessAbstractIn two Bayesian meta-analyses, we investigated associations between Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) and the Big Five personality traits (MA1) as well as both Positive and Negative Affect (MA2). Moderators were age and the three SPS subscales. In MA1 (8 papers, 6790 subjects), SPS in children correlated with Neuroticism (r = 0.42) but did not with Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness or Conscientiousness. I...

Separating Within-Person from Between-Person Effects in the Longitudinal Co-Occurrence of Depression and Different Anxiety Syndromes in Youth
Publication date: Available online 6 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Erin E. Long, Jami F. Young, Benjamin L. HankinAbstractCross-lagged panel models (CLPM) are often used to study anxiety-depression co-occurrence. However, the CLPM aggregates within- and between-person variance, which can lead to incorrect estimates. The latent curve model with structured residuals (LCM-SR) parses these sources of variance. We utilized the LCM-SR to examine prospective associations between anxiety (physical, social, separation) and depression. Youth (N=680; Mage=11.8; 55% female) completed measures of depress...

Minimizing inequality versus maximizing joint gains: On the relation between personality traits and different prosocial motivations
Publication date: Available online 5 June 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Dorothee Mischkowski, Isabel Thielmann, Andreas GlöcknerAbstractThe Social Value Orientation (SVO) Slider Measure allows a differentiation between two prosocial motivations: minimizing inequality versus maximizing joint gains. In two studies (N = 1,202), we investigated the relation between this suggested continuum from Inequality Aversion (IA) to Joint Gain Maximization (JGM), the HEXACO personality dimensions, and SVO. To account for differences in fairness perception, we also considered whether inequality favored oneself ...

The basic trait of Antagonism: An unfortunately underappreciated construct
Publication date: Available online 30 May 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Donald R. Lynam, Joshua D. MillerAbstractAntagonism, the low pole of Agreeableness, references traits related to immorality, combativeness, grandiosity, callousness, and distrustfulness. It is a robust correlate of externalizing behaviors such as antisocial behavior, aggression, and substance use; in fact, in many cases, it is the strongest trait correlate. It represents the core of many important and impactful psychopathological constructs (e.g., psychopathy, antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders). It is also cen...

Publication date: Available online 25 May 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Whitney R. Ringwald, Joseph E. Beeney, Paul A. Pilkonis, Aidan G.C. WrightAbstractTwo dimensional, hierarchical classification models of personality pathology have emerged as alternatives to traditional categorical systems: multi-tiered models with increasing numbers of factors and models that distinguish between a general factor of severity and specific factors reflecting style. Using a large sample (N=840) with a range of psychopathology, we conducted exploratory factor analyses of individual personality disorder criteria t...
