A Conceptual Dismantling of the Five Factor Form: Lexical Support for the Bipolarity of Maladaptive Personality Structure
Publication date: Available online 26 April 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Stephanie L. Rojas, Cristina Crego, Thomas A. WidigerAbstractThe Five Factor Form (FFF) assesses adaptive and maladaptive variants for both poles of the five-factor model (FFM), consistent with the hypothesis that there are indeed maladaptive variants for all 10 poles of the FFM. The current study dismantled the 30 FFF items. It was hypothesized that for each FFF item, the two maladaptive and adaptive components occupying the same side would be rated as similar in meaning, whereas components occupying opposite sides would b...

Disinhibition as a unifying construct in understanding how personality dispositions undergird psychopathology
Publication date: Available online 22 April 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Stephanie N. Mullins-Sweatt, Hilary L. DeShong, Gregory J. Lengel, Ashley C. Helle, Robert F. KruegerAbstractDisinhibition has been a construct of interest for decades, as evidenced by its inclusion in most prominent models of general personality functioning and its link to personality pathology, other psychopathology, health behaviors, and public health concerns. Disinhibition is manifest in behavioral, task based, and physiological measures, and common etiologies are a major reason for the coherence of the domain across a...

“Age is opportunity”: Women’s personality trajectories from mid- to later-life
Publication date: Available online 19 April 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Nicky Newton, Abigail J. Stewart, Elizabeth A. VandewaterAbstractPrevious scholarship examining Erikson’s (1980) constructs of generativity versus stagnation, and ego integrity versus despair has primarily focused on generativity or ego integrity, with little examination of stagnation or despair. The current study uses four waves of longitudinal data from a total of 166 women, ages 43 to 72, to assess whether these characteristics are best measured via four separate or two bipolar dimensions, and to examine developmental ...

High Goal Conflict and Low Goal Meaning are Associated with an Increased Likelihood of Subsequent Religious Transformation in Adolescents
Publication date: Available online 11 April 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Sarah A. Schnitker, Juliette L. Ratchford, Robert A. Emmons, Justin L. BarrettAbstractAdolescence is one of the most common periods during which people report religious transformations (Regnerus & Uecker, 2006), but few studies have examined what variables might precipitate a transformation during adolescence. Based on early writings of James, 1902, Starbuck, 1911, we tested the hypotheses that adolescents are more likely to experience a religious transformation when they have (a) lower global meaning, (b) lower goal meanin...

Are you a “bad driver” all the time? Insights from a weekly diary study on personality and dangerous driving behavior
Publication date: Available online 9 April 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Paul Sârbescu, Laurenţiu MaricuţoiuAbstractResearch concerning dangerous driving behavior has often favored studying inter-individual differences at the expense of intra-individual ones (especially when verifying its associations with personality factors). Using a 7 weeks diary approach, we aimed at exploring the intra-individual variation of dangerous driving behavior (Errors, Violations and Aggressive driving). Also, we verified if our outcomes could be predicted by both situational variables (weekly km, felt traffic pr...

Political Ideology Predicts Attitudes toward Moral Transgressors
Publication date: Available online 3 April 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Colin Tucker Smith, Kate A. Ratliff, Liz Redford, Jesse GrahamAbstractWe combine recent theoretical advances in the study of morality with a growing interest in the predictive power of political ideology to test new hypotheses concerning impression formation. In two experiments (total N = 3,881), newly-formed attitudes depended upon United States citizens’ political ideology and the moral content of the attitude induction. Specifically, when forming impressions of a person violating moral foundations of Care/Fairness, poli...

Striving for Change: The Prevalence and Correlates of Personality Change Goals
Publication date: Available online 19 March 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Travis J. Miller, Erica N. Baranski, William L. Dunlop, Daniel J. OzerAbstractThis research explores the frequency and correlates of desires to change personality. In two student samples (Ns = 1,339 and 447), participants listed personal goals and completed a measure of personality traits. Goals were coded for the expression of a desire to change an aspect of personality. The majority (66.8% and 74.7%) of participants listed at least one personality change goal. Goals were then coded for themes mirroring the poles of the Bi...

The Young Adult Love Lives of Happy Teenagers: The Role of Adolescent Affect in Adult Romantic Relationship Functioning
This study assessed early adolescent positive and negative affect as long-term predictors of romantic conflict, anxious and avoidant attachment, romantic and social competence, and relationship satisfaction in adulthood utilizing a longitudinal, multi-informant study of 166 participants assessed annually at ages 14-17, and again at ages 23-25. Positive affect in adolescence predicted greater self-rated social competence during late adolescence and greater self-rated romantic competence and less partner-reported hostile conflict almost a decade later. Negative affect predicted lower social and romantic competence. Results g...

Changes in within- and between-person associations between basic psychological need satisfaction and well-being after retirement
Publication date: Available online 12 March 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Georg Henning, Pär Bjälkebring, Andreas Stenling, Valgeir Thorvaldsson, Boo Johansson, Magnus LindwallAbstractSatisfaction of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness is associated with higher well-being. However, little is known about change or stability in this association over the life span. We therefore investigated changes in the association between well-being and basic psychological need satisfaction in the retirement transition. Data was drawn from four waves of the Health, Aging, and ...

Common Genetic Influences on Impulsivity Facets are Related to Goal Management, Psychopathology, and Personality
In this study, we characterized the genetic/environmental commonality and heterogeneity of impulsivity facets and tested the hypothesis that goal-management is central to their common variance. 764 young-adult twins completed the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale and measures of goal management, personality, and psychopathology. We found common genetic influences across all impulsivity facets except sensation seeking. These impulsivity genetic influences explained 40.0% of variance in goal-management ability. Other results supported three hypotheses concerning heterogeneity: that sensation seeking is independent of other fac...

At What Sample Size Do Latent Variable Correlations Stabilize?
Publication date: Available online 11 March 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): André Kretzschmar, Gilles E. GignacAbstractWe conducted a Monte-Carlo simulation within a latent variable framework by varying the following characteristics: population correlation (ρ = .10, .20, .30, .40, .50, .60, .70, .80, .90, and 1.00) and composite score reliability (coefficient omega: ω = .40, .50, .60, .70, .80, and .90). The sample sizes required to estimate stable measurement-error-free correlations were found to approach N = 490 for typical research scenarios (population correlation ρ = .20; composite score r...

Shy teens and their peers: Shyness in respect to basic personality traits and social relations
Publication date: Available online 9 March 2019Source: Journal of Research in PersonalityAuthor(s): Maria Magdalena Kwiatkowska, Radosław RogozaAbstractThe main purpose of this paper was to examine shyness in teenagers from two perspectives: in terms of its relations with basic personality traits and in terms of its influence on the processes that occur in the social networks of high school students. First, we found that shyness was negatively predicted by extraversion and positively by neuroticism. Second, using exponential random graph models we demonstrated that shyness across network effects was similar to reversed ex...
