The Moderation Effect of Approach Motivation Between Schizotypy and Creative Ideational Behavior.

The schizotypy-creativity link has been studied from different perspectives over the past few decades, yet the results of this relationship are inconsistent in the literature. Previous studies have suggested that two basic motivational systems-Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS, avoidance motivation) and Behavioral Activation System (BAS, approach motivation)-underlie the relationship between schizotypy and creativity. Few empirical studies, however, have examined how the relationship interacts with other variables. This study fills these gaps and explores the role of the approach and avoidance motivation assessed by trait behavioral activation and inhibition in the link between schizotypy as a dimensional personality trait and creative ideational behavior as a measure of creativity. Undergraduate students (N = 388) completed questionnaires including the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) measuring 3 dimensions of schizotypy, Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS) measuring creative ideational behavior, and BIS/BAS Scales measuring trait behavioral motivation. Bivariate Pearson correlation was computed, and hierarchical linear regression was performed to explore the effects of schizotypy, BIS/BAS, and their interaction on creative ideational behavior. The conditional effect of schizotypy based on different levels of the moderator was further tested. The total score, positive dimension and disorganized dimension of SPQ were all positively correlated with RIBS, BAS, and BIS. Negative dimension of SPQ was not significantly correlated with the RIBS score but was positively correlated with BIS. Additionally, after controlling gender and age, BAS significantly moderated the relationship between the positive and disorganized dimensions of schizotypy and creative ideational behavior measured by RIBS. However, BIS was not a significant moderator. The findings of this study regarding the relationships between different dimensions of schizotypy, two motivational systems, and creative ideational behavior were mostly consistent with previous findings. The significant moderated effect of BAS on the relationship between two dimensions of schizotypy and creative ideational behavior made significant contributions to the understanding of the relationship between schizotypy and creativity.

Examining the Effect of Five-Factor Personality Traits on Cultural Intelligence

With the impact of globalization in the field of education as in every area, the tendency of individuals to prefer other countries and cultures for education has increased. Individuals who move to different cultural environments for educational purposes face different cultural challenges. In this regard, cultural intelligence (CI) emerges, which contributes to managing cultural differences in the best way, using them in the most appropriate way for the benefit of individuals and organizations, and exhibiting appropriate behaviors in different cultural environments. This study aims to determine the effect of five-factor personality traits (FFPT) on the cultural intelligence (CI) of international university students through an experimental research design. Further, the effect of five factor personality trait dimensions on cultural intelligence was examined. Valid responses were obtained from 585 international students continuing their education in different faculties and departments of Mardin Artuklu University. The data were analyzed with the structural equation modelling (SEM) AMOS package program. Result of the analysis, it was seen that FFPT have a positive and significant effect on CI. In addition, positive significant effects of the FFPT dimensions (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and neuroticism) on the dimensions of CI (cognitive, meta-cognitive, behavioral, and motivational) were observed.

Moderation Analysis: Gender on the Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Personality Traits as a Predictor of Personal Identity

It has been examined throughout the present research that there is a significant moderation relationship between self-efficacy and the role of dimensions of personality traits as a predictor of personal identity in the presence of the variable gender difference. This was taken as a moderator variable. Moderation analysis techniques were used to determine the referent impact of gender difference on the relationship between self-efficacy and dimensions of personality traits. Participants were four hundred adolescents were taken to complete the study. The findings can be inferred that gender was significantly moderates the relationship between self-efficacy and dimensions of personality traits as a predictor of personal identity.

إسهام كلٍّ من سمات الشخصية والذّكاء العاطفي في التنبّؤ بأنماط التسويف الأكاديمي لدى عيّنة من طالبات جامعة الملك عبد العزيز بجدّة

The study aimed to investigate the impact of personality traits and emotional intelligence on predicting academic procrastination patterns among a sample of female students at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah. The researcher employed a descriptive correlational methodology to achieve the study objectives. The study sample consisted of 250 female students from various scientific, administrative, humanitarian, and health disciplines at King Abdulaziz University, selected randomly. The researcher utilized Abu Qouidar's (2022) Personality Traits Scale, Ben Amr's (2017) Emotional Intelligence Scale, and Faisal and Saleh's (2018) Academic Procrastination Patterns Scale in the study. The results revealed the most prevalent personality traits among the study sample, with the trait of agreeableness emerging as the most common. The findings also indicated a high level of emotional intelligence among the students. The most common academic procrastination pattern among the study sample was perfectionist procrastination. The results further demonstrated a correlation between personality traits and emotional intelligence. However, no significant correlation was found between personality traits and academic procrastination patterns, except for agreeableness, which exhibited a positive correlation with procrastination patterns. Dedication, on the other hand, showed a negative correlation with academic procrastination patterns. The remaining dimensions of personality traits were not correlated with academic procrastination patterns. Additionally, the results showed an inverse relationship between emotional intelligence and academic procrastination patterns. The findings suggested that certain personality traits (agreeableness, dedication) and emotional intelligence significantly contribute to predicting academic procrastination patterns among female students at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah.

The diversity advantage: An explanatory framework for personality traits

Why do human beings exhibit enduring personality differences, and to what extent are these differences shaped by biological and cultural evolution? Despite ongoing efforts, a consensus framework remains elusive. This paper introduces the Diversity Advantage Theory, partially shifting the focus from how personality impacts individuals to its influence within groups. Through an evolutionary lens, connections among personality, collective cognition, and group dynamics are explored, revealing that diversity in personality traits would tend to enhance collective intelligence and foster deliberation, mitigating group biases. The framework proposes that biologically evolved psychological mechanisms underlying personality, including individual niche-finding, adapt and conform to culturally evolving heuristic personality traits. This co-evolution stabilized the Big Few personality traits in western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) societies, addressing recurring group challenges related to engagement, closure, task, risk, and change. The Diversity Advantage Theory offers a novel explanatory framework for stable personality traits, aligning with biology and testable in contemporary group contexts. At least three novel perspectives are introduced: (1) personality trait dimensions have emerged, in part, to establish normative behavior for functional group processes; (2) normative diversity along trait dimensions enhances collective intelligence; and (3) such diversity should also promote deliberation, mitigate group biases, and improve group decision-making.

Do millennials’ personalities and smartphone use result in materialism? The mediating role of addiction

PurposeThis paper aims to use the five-factor model’s (FFM: emotional instability, introversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness) personality traits and the need for arousal to explain millennials’ habitual and addictive smartphone use and resultant materialistic inclinations. The study also test the mediating role of addictive use in the relationship between habitual use and materialism.Design/methodology/approachParticipants’ self-reported data (n = 705) from a sample of millennials were gathered using a cross-sectional survey approach conducted in Malaysia and studied using structural equation modelling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results discover that emotional instability, openness to experience, agreeableness and need for arousal have a significant influence on habitual smartphone use. Conversely, introversion and conscientiousness have no significant impact on habitual use. Fascinatingly, millennials’ habitual use positively influences their materialism. Furthermore, addictive smartphone use positively affects materialism and mediates the relationship between habitual use and materialism.Originality/valueThe FFM, a prominent personality trait model, has been used in numerous studies to predict usage intention. However, the particular dimension of the FFM personality traits that drive habitual and addictive smartphone use to trigger materialistic tendencies among millennials needs to be exposed in an emerging market context. The results emphasise the need to consider this demographic’s personalities when attempting to comprehend how habitual use and materialism occur. This study also provides practitioners with helpful information in creating targeted interventions to encourage healthy smartphone use behaviours and reduce possible adverse effects related to addictive smartphone use and materialistic attitudes.

Brain structural correlates of psychopathic traits in elite female combat-sports athletes.

Psychopathy is characterized by glibness and superficial charm, as well as a lack of empathy, guilt and remorse, and is often accompanied by antisocial behaviour. The cerebral bases of this syndrome have been mostly studied in violent subjects or those with a criminal history. However, the antisocial component of psychopathy is not central to its conceptualization, and in fact, psychopathic traits are present in well-adjusted, non-criminal individuals within the general population. Interestingly, certain psychopathy characteristics appear to be particularly pronounced in some groups or professions. Importantly, as these so-called adaptive or successful psychopaths do not show antisocial tendencies or have significant psychiatric comorbidities, they may represent an ideal population to study this trait. Here, we investigated such a group, specifically elite female judo athletes, and compared them with matched non-athletes. Participants completed psychopathy, anger, perspective-taking and empathic concern questionnaires and underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Grey matter volume (GMV) was computed using voxel-based morphometry from the T1-weighted images. Athletes scored significantly higher in primary psychopathy and anger and lower in empathy and perspective taking. They also exhibited smaller GMV in the right temporal pole, left occipital cortex and left amygdala/hippocampus. GMV values for the latter cluster significantly correlated with primary psychopathy scores across both groups. These results confirm and extend previous findings to a little-studied population and provide support for the conceptualization of psychopathy as a dimensional personality trait which not only is not necessarily associated with antisocial behaviour but may potentially have adaptive value.

The Effect of Dark Personality Traits on The Tendency of Accountants Towards Accounting Fraud

It is known that the personality traits of professional accountants affect their attitudes towards fraud and unethical behavior. In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of dark triad personality traits of accounting professionals on their tendency to commit accounting fraud. The research is important in terms of bringing a psychology and accounting-based study to the literature of our country, which is widely seen in the international literature. Data were collected from 307 professional accountants registered in the Chamber of Certified Public Accountants of Balıkesir through the questionnaire developed within the scope of the research. Obtained data were analyzed by using structural equation model through IBM SPSS 25 and AMOS programs. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that the psychopathy and Machiavellian dimensions of the dark personality traits of the professions affect the internal and external motivations of their tendency to commit accounting fraud, but the narcissism dimension from the dark personality traits does not influence the tendency of accounting professionals to commit fraud. By identifying individuals with dark triad personality traits, it is possible to reduce negative situations in the business environment, tendencies towards accounting fraud, unethical behaviors and actions.

Relationship between context‐free/in‐context spatial color preferences and color constructs: The extraversion personality trait dimension

AbstractPersonality traits are considered the primary determinants of emotional and behavioral patterns of individuals within the built environment, influencing the experience of architectural space over their cognitive representation. Specifically, the dimension of extraversion within an individual's personality holds considerable predictive value in determining their attitudes toward the environment. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the influence of personality traits on color preference by comparing preferences for context‐free color samples and in‐context spatial colors among individuals exhibiting varying levels of extraversion. It also aims to ascertain the most accurate color‐construct scale for delineating individuals' preferences for in‐context spatial color. The study employed the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) representation of lexical factor markers for the Big‐Five structure. For the study, 11 colors, referred to as basic color terms, were selected as stimuli. Data on color preference were obtained through a rank order test for 11 context‐free color samples and 11 virtual images of in‐context spatial colors, as well as ratings of in‐context spatial colors based on 14 color‐construct scales. Findings reveal the relationship between extraversion personality trait and color preferences, revealing distinct patterns between context‐free and in‐context color preferences. They also suggest the possibility of divergent preferences for in‐context spatial colors among individuals with varying levels of extraversion, with certain colors eliciting significantly different ratings on color‐construct scales. The study's findings shed light on the importance of personality traits in predicting the relationship between architectural spaces and colors, depending on individuals' personalities, particularly within design disciplines such as interior architecture.

The Relationship Between Personality Traits, Emotional Stability and Mental Health in Art Vocational and Technical College Students During Epidemic Prevention and Control.

To investigate the relationship between the personality traits, emotional stability and mental health state of students in vocational and technical colleges of art under epidemic prevention and control based on latent trait-state theory. Using the stratified sampling method, we selected 1569 students in vocational and technical colleges of art as research subjects. From 1 April 2022 to 5 April 2022, we conducted an online survey using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Adult Edition) (EPQA), Emotional Stability Self-Test Scale and University Personality Inventory (UPI) to analyse the relationship between the traits, emotional stability and mental health of students in vocational and technical colleges of art. For the EPQA personality traits, boys had lower extraversion and introversion scores than girls (47.71 ± 11.23 vs 49.06 ± 10.74, p = 0.021). In terms of mental health, boys had lower scores than girls (12.20 ± 12.73 vs 14.64 ± 11.85, p< 0.001). There were significant grade differences in psychoticism and total mental health scores in terms of EPQA personality traits (P < 0.01). There were significant associations between all dimensions of personality traits, emotional stability and mental health (r = 0.68, 0.62, p < 0.01). Emotional stability plays a partial mediating role in the effects of neuroticism on mental health. There is a close relationship between personality traits, emotional stability and mental health. Under the condition of epidemic prevention and control, strengthening the management of the self-emotional stability of students in vocational and technical colleges of art is helpful in improving students' mental health.

Do Personality Traits Moderate the Impact of Social-Media Multi-Tasking on Academic Competence? Higher Education Perspective.

The aim of this research study is to investigate the impact of social media multitasking on academic competence. Furthermore, this study also is looking for a moderating role of personality traits including, Openness, Extraversion, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, and agreeableness. As to answer the research questions and hypotheses testing, researchers collected data from different universities that exist in Gujranwala, Pakistan, and valid response from 572 respondents was recorded, including teachers and students. The results were obtained by using M-plus software. The findings of this research indicates that social media multitasking has a significant negative effect on academic competence and indicated that personality traits significantly moderate among social media multitasking and academic competence except agreeableness which shows an insignificant moderation effect between social media multitasking and academic competence. This research study suggested that it is necessity for teachers and parents to motivate students for self-regulation of laptops, mobile phone and multi-tasking behaviors, the significance of encouraging students to acquire self-efficacy and learning. This is the first-time study in Pakistan which investigate a comprehensive model by using social media multi-tasking as an independent variable and academic competence as a dependent variable and drill the five dimensions of personality traits as moderators in this study.

AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF PERSONALITY TRAITS ON SOCIAL SPORTS MARKETING

In the study, the impact of personality traits on social marketing of sport was investigated. A total of 401 students who continue their education and training in different departments voluntarily participated in the study. The e-survey method prepared in the internet environment was applied as a data collection technique in the research. Two scales were used in the application. The personality scale developed by(Benet-Martínez &amp; John, 1998). and adapted into Turkish by (Sümer &amp; Sümer, 2005). was used. Secondly, the “Attitude Scale on Social Marketing of Sports” developed by (Ünal, 2009). was used in the study. There is a high level of positive relationship between satisfaction. However, this relationship is not statistically significant (R: ,074 , R2: ,006 , p &lt; 0,05). According to the results of the T- test on the significance of the regression coefficient, it is seen that personality traits do not have a significant effect (T ፦1,486, p &lt; 0.05). Examining the impact of personality characteristics in the social aspect of this type of marketing, which targets large audiences such as sports marketing, especially for companies involved in this sector and, of course, is great for clubs is of great importance. Because, companies should pay attention to this detail in their next strategic moves in this area. Future studies can be applied on businesses. Different dimensions of personality traits can be considered. Social sports marketing can be evaluated in the context of product mix. And this evaluation can be constructed both in terms of consumers (fans). and businesses.

Personality traits and occupational status-evidence from China.

This paper estimates the relationship between personality traits measured by the "Big Five Model" and occupational status with a nationally representative household survey from China. I find that four of the five personality traits except extraversion are significantly associated with occupational status in terms of occupational choices, occupational prestige, and socioeconomic status. In particular, conscientiousness is the most important predictor among the five dimensions of personality traits. The findings also suggest that the returns of personality traits to occupational status are higher for females.

Punishment and personality: Low agreeableness and low conscientiousness as mediators of the inconsistent/angry parenting–delinquency relationships

This study’s purpose was to determine whether the personality trait dimensions of Agreeableness and Conscientiousness mediate the relationship between mid-adolescent inconsistent/angry parenting and late adolescent delinquency. A sample of 3701 youth from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children served as participants in this study. A path analysis with two independent variables (inconsistent parenting, angry parenting) and five mediators (Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Openness) revealed that, consistent with predictions, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness were the only two personality dimensions to mediate the angry parenting–later delinquency relationship. These results suggest that personality dimensions known to correlate with offending behavior (i.e. low Agreeableness and low Conscientiousness) may be among the mechanisms responsible for linking social conditions like parenting punishment styles marked by angry parenting to youth behaviors like delinquency.

The Effect of Physical Activity on the Non-cognitive Ability of Adolescents

Based on the Big Five personality trait dimensions of non-cognitive ability measures, the CFPS 2020 database was used as the basis, and the self-answered questionnaires and messages that were under the age of 18 and had information on physical activity were selected as the study sample from the total sample of 28590 in this database, and the valid 1562 samples were used as the study subjects, and the corresponding options and answers were selected as the dependent variables related to the Big Five personality of responsibility, agreeableness, extraversion, and neuroticism. After constructing a model with logit regression and calculating the marginal effects, it was empirically demonstrated that increasing the frequency of physical exercise (frequency) had positive promotion or improvement effects on adolescents' sense of responsibility, agreeableness, extraversion, and neuroticism, with the frequency of physical exercise (frequency) in the past 12 months as the dependent variable, and the effects were different between urban and rural areas, age, and gender. There were differences between urban and rural areas, age, and gender.

Oxytocin level among patients with opioid use disorder and its correlation with personality traits and perceived childhood trauma

BackgroundPersonality traits and perceived childhood maltreatment are of the predictors of substance use disorder development. Many studies have discussed oxytocin effect on personality traits and its relation with childhood trauma and how both affect the addictive process. The main aim was to compare oxytocin level between patients with opioid use disorder and controls and the potential association of oxytocin level with the basic dimensions of personality traits and perceived childhood adverse experiences in patients group. Forty male patients with opioid use disorder and 40 healthy controls matched in age and gender were assessed and compared regarding serum oxytocin level by ELISA, personality traits using Temperament and character inventory - revised (TCI- R) scale, and childhood adverse events using childhood trauma questionnaire.ResultsA significant difference between the patient group and the control group regarding the serum oxytocin level was found. Negative correlation with p-value <0.05 between oxytocin level and each of novelty seeking, and harm avoidance, in addition to a positive correlation between oxytocin level and each of reward dependence, self-directedness, and cooperativeness items of (TCR-R), among cases were found. Cases did not show statistically significant difference in oxytocin level between different Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) items.ConclusionsThe interaction between serum oxytocin levels, personality traits, and childhood trauma has to be considered in management with heroin-dependent patients as it plays a crucial role.

Research into the Relationship between Personality and Behavior in Video Games, Based on Mining Association Rules

Nowadays, people have started to spend more and more time using the Internet, which has a crucial impact on people’s lives. Individual personality type is often the main factor dictating the various behaviors that people carry out, and it dominates their activities when socializing, communicating, and making choices in the virtual world. This study is dedicated to uncovering how the six dimensions of personality traits relate to players’ in-game behavior. This research is divided into two studies. Study 1 uses the K-means method to classify players in “Clash of Kings”, an online strategy video game, according to their activities. Using apriori algorithm, this research analyzes the correlation between in-game behavior and personality. In Study 2, the correlations are validated. In conclusion, not all personality traits are related to in-game behaviors. Players with high extraversion demonstrate more killings and attacks in games. Conscientiousness is negatively related to deaths. Emotionality shows strong extremes. The highest or lowest emotionality scores are associated with killings and attacks, while players with moderate emotionality will behave irregularly. Honesty/humility, agreeableness, and openness to experience are not predictive of in-game behaviors. For game manufacturers, players’ personality traits can be inferred through their corresponding in-game behaviors, to use in order to carry out targeted promotions.

Moral Intelligence as a Mediator Variable in the Relationship between Personality Traits and School Bullying among Students from Grades (7-9) in North Al Batinah Governorate, Sultanate of Oman

The study aimed to identify the role of moral intelligence as a mediator variable in the relationship between personality traits and school bullying. The sample of the study consisted of 271 students from grades (7-9) in North Al Batinah Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. This study used the school bullying scale, the short measure of the five major factors of personality (TIPI) and the scale of moral intelligence. The results of multiple regression analysis using the Baron &amp; Kenny’s method showed that moral intelligence has an intermediary role in the relationship between personality traits and school bullying, through direct effects in the negative direction of the dimensions of personality traits (emotional stability, conscientiousness, and agreeableness) on school bullying through moral intelligence. Also, the results of the Baron &amp; Kenny’s method showed direct effects in the negative direction of the dimensions of personality traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability) on school bullying, and the presence of direct influences in the positive direction of the dimensions of personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability, and openness) on moral intelligence, as the results indicated the presence of direct effects in the negative direction of moral intelligence on school bullying. The results indicated that there is a mediating role of moral intelligence in the relationship between some personality traits and school bullying. Keywords: personality traits, moral intelligence, school bullying, Median analysis.

Visual performance of painting colors based on psychological factors.

Humans have been exploring colors since ancient times, but relatively complete color systems appeared one after another in the twentieth century. Even without language and other information exchanges, colors can still convey information and stimulate emotions. Therefore, color can have both physical and psychological effects on people. In this context, this paper studies the visual representation of painting colors based on psychological factors. The article studies the theory of personality traits and introduces the related content of visual psychology. To explore the relationship between each variable and color psychology and the visual representation of painting colors, a binary logistic regression analysis is performed. The colors in the post-impressionist paintings of Van Gogh and Gauguin is contrasted, and experiments on psychological factors and color research is conducted. The factors that affect the color tone of the picture and the influence of psychological factors on the judgment of color brightness are investigated. Finally, the correlation analysis of personality trait dimension and irrational behavior is carried out. The experimental results of the article show that after the analysis of variance, the significance levels of regression model 1 and model 2 both reach 0.000, and the adjusted R squares are 0.319 and 0.356, respectively. In this study, regression model 2 was selected as the final model. According to Model 2, the standardized regression coefficients of agreeableness and neuroticism are 0.438 and -0.251, respectively, and the significance of the regression coefficients are 0.000 and 0.021, respectively. The research on the visual performance of painting colors based on psychological factors has been well completed.
