Investigation of personality type and physical activity level in physiotherapy and rehabilitation department students

Aims: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between personality types and physical activity levels among undergraduate students in the department of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Methods: The participants’ physical activity levels were assessed using the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). To evaluate the participants’ personality traits, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised/Short Scale was used. The relationship between individuals’ personality traits and physical activity levels was determined using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. Results: The study included 180 undergraduate students from the department of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The results revealed a strong correlation between severe metabolic equivalent (MET) (r: 0.246, p: 0.001), moderate MET (r: 0.196, p: 0.009) and total MET (r: 0.202, p: 0.007) with psychoticism. Additionally, a strong correlation was observed between extraversion and walking MET (r: 0.180, p: 0.017) as well as total MET (r: 0.196, p: 0.009). Conclusion: Students with personality traits of psychoticism and extraversion tend to be physically more active.This study shows that physical-activity levels may be predicted by personality traits on Turkish physiotherapy and rehabilitation students.

Personality Traits and Quality of Life Among Older Adults: The Chain Mediating Effects of Perceived Social Support and Positive Coping Styles

The pathways between personality traits and older adults’ quality of life (QOL) have been well studied. However, perceived social support and positive coping styles should not be ignored by older adults’ QOL. Hence, this study examines the chain mediating role of perceived social support and positive coping styles between personality traits and older adults’ QOL. In total, 230 older individuals (Mean age = 69.43, SD age = 7.23, age range from 60 to 93) participated in this study. All older people provided a rating of QOL and perceived social support, the Chinese Big Five personality, and positive coping styles. (1a) the five personality traits of older adults were significantly associated with QOL; (2b) perceived social support mediated the relationship between three personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness) and QOL; (3c) positive coping styles played a mediator role in the personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness) and QOL; (4d) perceived social support and positive coping styles had a significant chain mediating effect on the three dimensions of personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness) and QOL. As mediating influences, social support and positive coping styles can be applied to efforts to promote QOL for older adults who share the personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness.

The Influence of The Big 5 Personality, Financial Perceptions, and External Factors on Impulsive Buying Tendencies in Live Streaming

The digital era has significantly transformed the behavior of Indonesian consumers, particularly with the emergence of shopping trends through live streaming on e-commerce platforms. This study investigates the influence of the Big Five personality traits, financial perception, and external factors on the tendency for impulsive buying during live streaming. By integrating theories from consumer behavior and psychology, this research explores how self-control, money availability, economic well-being, time pressure, and sales promotions affect the tendency for impulsive buying. Using an online survey distributed among Indonesian consumers, this study provides insights into how these factors interact in the context of digital shopping during live streaming purchases. The findings aim to help e-commerce businesses optimize their sales strategies and offer recommendations to enhance consumer satisfaction. The results show a negative influence between self-control and the tendency for impulsive buying, with conscientiousness and extraversion personality traits showing significant effects on impulsive buying. The perception of money availability has a positive influence on the tendency for impulsive buying. From an external factors perspective, sales promotions positively influence purchase intentions, while time pressure negatively affects buying intentions or the tendency for impulsive buying. These insights aim to assist digital marketers and e-commerce businesses in optimizing their sales strategies and improving consumer satisfaction.

Social Anxiety among Middle-Aged Teachers in Secondary Education Schools.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of social anxiety symptoms (SASs) and its associated factors among middle-aged teachers in secondary education schools. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 2023 to March 2024 among 341 secondary education schoolteachers aged 45-59 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, involving an online survey. Effects of psychosocial variables on SASs were investigated, including attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, neuroticism and extraversion personality traits, loneliness, perceived social stress, job burnout, and anxiety and depression. Multiple linear regression was used to identify predictors of SASs. This study found that 98 out of 341 (28.7%) teachers presented SASs. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that marital status (β = 0.103, 95% CI [0.437, 3.404]), income (β = 0.087, 95% CI [0.049, 3.758]), extraversion (β = -0.179, 95% CI [-0.573, -0.198]), attachment anxiety (β = 0.165, 95% CI [0.106, 0.359]), attachment avoidance (β = 0.145, 95% CI [0.066, 0.243]), depression (β = 0.242, 95% CI [0.248, 0.862]), loneliness (β = 0.182, 95% CI [0.099, 0.580]), and perceived social stress (β = 0.235, 95% CI [0.131, 0.373]) were significant predictors of SASs, explaining 51.1% of the variance. This study discovered a relatively high prevalence of SASs among middle-aged secondary schoolteachers.

PERSONALITY TRAITS AND ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT AS PREDICTORS OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE AMONG SHOPRITE WORKERS

Personality traits and organizational support as predictors of work-life balance among shoprite workers. Work-life balance has become an emerging issue where bothorganization and employees tend to benefit. However no consistent results have been obtained using different predictors. Therefore, this study investigated personality traits and organizational support as predictors of work-life balance among workers in Shoprite in Ibadan metropolis. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design while purposive sampling technique was used to select one superstore: Shoprite in Ibadan. Data were collected from 200 participants using three validated scales and analyzed using t-test of independent samples and multiple regressions analysis. Three hypotheses were tested and accepted at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The result indicated that perceived organizational support significantly influenced work-life balance [t (198) = 2.12, p <..05] among study participants. Also, the result revealed that personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience jointly predicted work-life balance among workers (R2 = 0.04, F (5, 191) = 1.64, p < 0.05). Furthermore, personality traits and organizational support jointly predicted work-life balance among study participants (R2 = 0.08, F (6,190) = 2.89, p < 0.05). However, only perceived organizational support independently predicted work-life balance. The study concluded that personality traits and organizational support are good predictors of work-life balance among study participants. It is recommended that workers should learn self-and time-management techniques to achieve maximum

Entrepreneurial passion and the big five: Impact on entrepreneurial behavior

Although there has been a long history of research linking personality traits and entrepreneurship, this interchange has provided inconsistent results without a definitive entrepreneurial trait profile. In this research, the relationship between entrepreneurial passion (EP) for inventing and entrepreneurial behavior was investigated by exploring the moderating effects of personality as conceptualized by the Big Five Personality Traits. Results provided evidence that the personality traits of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion moderated the relationship between EP and entrepreneurial behavior. Individuals with a high level of conscientiousness, agreeableness, or extraversion exhibited a higher likelihood of entrepreneurial behaviors. The moderation effect of agreeableness was most pronounced at low levels of EP with this effect dissipating as the level of passion rises to a high level. A significant contribution of this research is a greater understanding as to what characteristics and processes increase the likelihood of a person to undertake entrepreneurial behaviors. Theoretical and practical implications of study findings as well as limitations and future research directions were discussed.

Adopting the risk information seeking and processing model to examine the impact of personality on vaccination intentions in Taiwan

Using the risk information seeking and processing model, this study examined how five personality traits—extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and agreeableness—influenced individuals’ information-seeking behaviors and vaccination intentions. An online survey was administered by a reputable polling company commissioned by this study. The survey employed age, education, gender, and income as distinct strata for sampling, which resulted in 1100 valid questionnaires.The following five conclusions were drawn from the data analysis: (1) Of the five personality traits, two—extraversion and conscientiousness—exhibited a notable impact on individuals' information-seeking behaviors and vaccination intentions. Individuals with the remaining three personality traits—neuroticism, agreeableness, and openness to experience—demonstrate either passive or no information-seeking behaviors on COVID-19. (2) Conscientiousness was the only personality trait linked to increased awareness of COVID-19 characteristics. Moreover, conscientious individuals were inclined to avoid depending on ISNs to seek COVID-19 information and developed vaccination intentions. In contrast, individuals high in agreeableness heavily depended on ISNs for COVID-19 information to initiate information-seeking behaviors. Meanwhile, individuals high in extraversion relied on two variables—affective responses and ISNs—to begin their information-seeking behaviors. (3) Respondents' perceptions of COVID-19 characteristics and their affective responses did not positively influence their perceived information insufficiency directly; instead, both needed to be mediated by ISNs to initiate their information-seeking behaviors. (4) In contrast to the two variables—perceived COVID-19 characteristics and affective responses—this study found that ISNs regarding COVID-19 played a more substantial role in shaping respondents' information-seeking behaviors and vaccination intentions. (5) Unexpectedly, openness to experience was found to have no impact on information-seeking behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Psychological Factors Associated with General Quality of Life in the Context of COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study on a Multicultural Sample of Romanian Medical Students.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the general quality of life (GQOL) of a large number of individuals, including those in the academic environment. This study investigated GQOL in a sample of 613 Romanian medicine students (81.57% were female; mean age = 21.40 ± 1.749 years) in relation to their Big Five personality characteristics, Perceived Stress and Fear of COVID-19. The study was conducted between June 2020 and March 2022. These variables were investigated with the Big Five Inventory-2: Extra-Short Form, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), the Perceived Stress Scale-10 and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Statistical analysis included hierarchical linear regression and t-tests. The results indicated a significant direct relationship between GQOL and the personality traits of Conscientiousness, Extraversion and Agreeableness. However, a significant inverse relationship was observed between GQOL and Perceived Stress and Neuroticism. Fear of COVID-19 was significantly higher in women, while no other socio-demographic variables were associated with GQOL. A total of 61.7% of the studied population returned to their original residency during the pandemic years. These results could be important for better understanding the vulnerability to significant epidemiological events in academic populations and for planning adequate preventive or interventional measures.

The Relationship Between Conspiracy Mentality, Personality Traits, Stress Coping Strategies and Psychological Well-Being

Conspiracy theories and people’s tendency to believe them have recently attracted a great deal of scientific attention because of the widespread nature of conspiracy beliefs, their potential to influence people’s behaviour and endanger public safety. To understand what leads people to believe in conspiracies, it is important to consider both intrinsic personal factors as well as external, learned factors that are related to the person’s environment. This study aims to explore which psychological factors contribute directly and indirectly to the propensity to believe conspiracy theories. The study involved 173 participants (80.3% women). The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 70 years (M = 33.34; SD = 14.62). The Conspiracy mentality scale was used to measure the subjects’ general tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. The participants’ Big Five personality traits, psychological well-being, and stress coping strategies were also assessed. The results of linear regression and path analysis show that the propensity to believe in conspiracy theories is directly predicted by social well-being, religion and avoidance coping which are used to reduce stress. In addition, conspiracy mentality has been found to be indirectly predicted by personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism, through social well-being and avoidance coping; in addition, path analysis revealed direct associations between the tendency to believe in conspiracy and extraversion. Skepticism (one of conspiracy mentality subscales) is directly predicted by avoidance coping strategy. Extraversion predicts propensity to believe conspiracy theories directly and – together with neuroticism – indirectly through social well-being and avoidance coping.

The Effect of Personality Traits of Healthcare Worker Candidates on their Attitudes Towards the Elderly

Background:: It is known that attitudes towards the elderly are an important variable affecting healthcare services. Considering the increasing trends of the population over 65 years in countries, it is important to determine the attitudes of future healthcare workers towards the elderly and to prepare them to serve in the health sector with activities that will lead to positive changes. In this direction, it is important to determine the effect of personality traits of prospective healthcare workers on their attitudes toward the elderly Methods:: The research was conducted using the “relational survey model”. The study was conducted with 581 prospective healthcare workers. Personal Information Form, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and Kogan's Scale of Attitudes towards the Elderly were used as data collection tools. Data were obtained and analyzed using the online data collection method. Results:: According to the results of the study, it was found that the attitudes of students who were healthcare candidates for older adults were generally positive ( = 63.46±13.42). While there was a positive yet moderate and statistically significant correlation between attitudes towards the elderly and scores on the Extraversion subscale (r= 0.634, p<0.01) and a negative yet moderate and statistically significant correlation with scores on the Neuroticism (r= -0.568, p<0.01) and Psychoticism (r= -0.602, p<0.01) subscales. The personality traits extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism explained 58.6% of the attitude towards the elderly. According to the regression results, extraversion (β= 0.358; p<0.001) positively affected attitudes towards the elderly, whereas neuroticism (β= -0.310; p<0.001) and psychoticism (β= -0.307; p<0.001) negatively affected attitudes towards the elderly. Conclusions:: Given the important role of healthcare professionals in improving the care and quality of life of the elderly, it is necessary to develop strategies to improve the attitudes of future healthcare professionals towards the elderly. Consideration of personality traits in determining these strategies may contribute to the development of effective and personalized approaches.

Introduction: Speaking anxiety in educational settings is among the most prevalent and important social anxieties playing a critical role in the anxiety experienced by students. Objective: The current study aimed to test the structural relations model of personality traits with speaking anxiety among students. Method: The present research was descriptive-correlational of structural equations type. The statistical population consisted of all undergraduate students of psychology at Islamic Azad University, Babol branch, in the academic year 2021-2022, among them 136 people were selected by the convenience sampling method. McCrae and Costa’s Personality Traits Questionnaire (1985) and Bartholomay and Houlihan’s (2016) Public Speaking Anxiety Scale were used for data collection, and data analysis was performed by structural equation modeling using SPSS software version 18 and Amos software. Results: According to the results, the personality traits of extroversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and agreeableness were significantly and negatively related to speaking anxiety (p<0.05), and the personality trait of neuroticism was significantly and positively related to speaking anxiety in students (p<0.05). Also, according to the results of structural equations, extroversion (β=-0.033), conscientiousness (β=-0.162), and agreeableness (β=0.001) negatively and neuroticism (β=0.533) positively affected speaking anxiety. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that personality traits significantly affect speaking anxiety, and the structural relations model has the necessary fit. Therefore, teachers should be aware of personality traits because conducting personality assessment may be very beneficial in directing students in learning and improving speaking.

The Association Between Personality Traits and Substance Use Among Advanced Level Students in Western Province, Sri Lanka: A Cross-sectional Study.

While personality predominantly influences human cognition, emotion, and behavior, there is still an unresolved research gap concerning the association between personality and substance use within the Sri Lankan context. This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between personality traits and substance use among advanced-level students aged over 18 in Western province, Sri Lanka, in 2023. Data collection was carried out using self-administered paper-pencil questionnaires. The study variables were measured using the brief version of the Big Five Personality Inventory and the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Questionnaire. Data analysis involved the use of the chi-square test and Spearman correlation. Of the 441 enrolled participants, 422 provided correct responses to the questionnaire. Among them, 154 (36.5%) reported substance use. The majority of students initiated substance use at the age of 17. The results reveal a significant association between the openness personality trait and substance use among advanced-level students in Western province. Additionally, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the extroversion personality trait and amphetamine use among advanced-level students. The findings highlight a significant association between specific personality traits, particularly openness and extroversion, and substance use among advanced-level students in Western province, Sri Lanka. These results emphasize the significance of considering personality factors in understanding and addressing substance use behaviors among youth populations. Further research and targeted interventions are necessary to delve deeper into these associations and develop effective prevention and intervention strategies.

PREDICTORS OF ATTITUDES OF JUNIOR VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS AND THEIR PARENTS TOWARDS THE ROMA

The aim of this research was to examine the contribution of features of the five-factor model of personality and the model of right-wing authoritarianism in junior volleyball players and their parents to the prediction of the variance of social distance towards Roma. The pertinent sample of participants consisted of (N = 120) adolescent athletes from the Kolubar district (M age = 14.90, SD = 0.68 years), as well as one parent of each volleyball player (age 37 years ± 4.78). The following measuring instruments were applied: A social distance scale, Big Five Inventory – BFI, and Right-Wing Authoritarianism – RWA scale. The findings of the hierarchical regression analysis, with a statistically significant 21% variance, showed that the authoritarianism of volleyball players is a dominant significant positive predictor (β = 0.24, p ≤ 0.01) of the criteria of parental social distance. This suggests that as the dimension of authoritarianism increases, individuals report greater social distance. Also, the personality trait extraversion of the fivefactor personality model, with 29% of the variability, proved to be a relevant negative partial predictor (β = -0.29, p ≤ 0.01), which signals that young athlete with a pronounced lower score on the variable extraversion express worse social distance, that is, they more often see it as a loss. The interaction function of personality traits - the Big Five (extraversion, openness, onscientiousness, neuroticism and agreeableness) is not statistically significant in the prediction of the construct parental social distance and the construct child’s social distance, and therefore requires further studies. The results of internal consistency indicate that the used measuring instruments are adequate for future research on the Serbian sample of athletes in adolescence. Finally, methodological limitations in this empirical study are given, its theoretical and practical implications are analyzed, as well as guidelines for further and relational research.

Emotion Regulation and Self-Efficacy: The Mediating Role of Emotional Stability and Extraversion in Adolescence.

The feeling of emotional self-efficacy helps people understand how to handle positive and negative emotions. Emotion regulation is the process that helps people control their emotions so that they can adapt to the demands of the environment. This study has a twofold aim. First, it examines the relationships among emotion regulation, the personality traits of extraversion and emotional stability, and the feeling of emotional self-efficacy for positive and negative emotions in an adolescent population. Second, it examines the mediating role of personality traits (extraversion and emotional stability) in the relationship between emotion regulation and emotional self-efficacy for positive and negative emotions. The participants were 703 adolescents (49.9% male and 50.1% female) aged between 15 and 18 years (M = 15.86, SD = 0.30). Significant relationships were observed among emotion regulation, the personality traits of extraversion and emotional stability, and emotional self-efficacy for positive and negative emotions. The structural equation model confirmed the direct link between emotion regulation and emotional self-efficacy and mediation by the personality traits of extraversion and emotional stability. This study confirms that emotional self-efficacy is connected to the emotion regulation strategies that adolescents use. Effective emotion regulation encourages self-perception and emotional coping. The results are discussed in connection to previous research.

An empirical study of the personality factors and individual characteristics of older adult participation in third age education

ABSTRACT In China, the innovative development of education for older people is an important response to the aging population, and an important way to meet the spiritual, cultural, and social needs of older people. Current academic research mainly focuses on the social factors that affect the participation of older people in education and there are few empirical studies on the individual psychological characteristics of older adult learning behavior. This study takes a positive psychology approach to the exploration of the factors influencing the participation of older adults in education in a number of universities of the Third Age in Fujian Province, China. The study is based on curriculum preferences and frequency of participation in extracurricular activities. The results show that the personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism, as well as gender, age, level of educational attainment, and family economic status significantly affect frequency of participation in extracurricular activities and the curriculum preferences of older learners. The results of this study suggest that we can strengthen personality matching to promote the learning enthusiasm of older people in education, and adhere to the demand-oriented to promote the Third age education curriculum personalized. Furthermore, we should increase the scope for popularizing Third age education, improve the accessibility of education for the older people, accelerate the integration of older adult education with the Internet, innovate the form of older adult education, and then promote the development of customized curricula.

Teacher-leaders’ personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience and transformational leadership: The implications for collective teachers efficacy

However, few studies have focused on the effect of teacher-leaders’ leadership on their teachers' job attitudes. This study, grounded in social cognitive theory, explores the mediating role of teacher-leaders' transformational leadership on the link between teacher-leaders’ personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience, and collective teacher efficacy. The results of Structural Equation Modeling from a sample of 103 teacher-leaders and 506 teachers, indicated that transformational leadership fully mediated the relationship between teacher-leaders’ personality traits and collective teacher efficacy. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The Effect of Owner-Managers’ Personality Traits on Organisational Ambidexterity in the Context of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

This empirical study aimed to analyse the influence of the personality traits of owner-managers in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on organisational ambidexterity (OA). Based on the existing literature, five hypotheses were formulated about the relationships between the Big Five personality traits and organisational ambidexterity. A second-order structural equation model was used with a sample of 224 Portuguese SMEs in the sector of information technology (IT), telecommunications, and audio-visual and IT consultancy. The results obtained suggest that the personality traits of extraversion, neuroticism (versus emotional stability) and conscientiousness have a significant influence on organisational ambidexterity. These results are consistent with the research and demonstrate that owner-managers’ personality traits influence organisational ambidexterity in SMEs. Theoretical and practical implications are explored.

Parenting Styles and Students’ Personality in Public Secondary Schools in Eastern Uganda

The study sought to establish the relationship between parenting styles and students’ personality in public secondary schools in Eastern Uganda. The study used correlational research design. A sample size of 368 students were selected from a target population of 9,143 using simple random sampling technique. A self-designed questionnaire was used for data collection. The content validity index was.83 and the Cronbach alpha coefficient of correlation was found to be 0.82. It was hypothesized that; There is no statistically significant relationship between parenting styles and students’ personality in public secondary schools. The student’s personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness and openness to experience were found to be high and conscientiousness and neuroticism personality trait were moderate. There was a weak and statistically significant relationship between parenting styles and students’ personality among students in public secondary schools (r =.283**, p= < .000). It was recommended that parents adopt the authoritative parenting style as it facilitates good students’ personality traits as they pursue their education endeavours and the school administrators should organize an awareness and sensitization workshops on the influence of the educating families regarding awareness of the parenting styles and students’ personality traits.

TÜRKİYE’DE BULUNAN KAMU VE ÖZEL SEKTÖR ÇALIŞANLARINA AİT BEŞ FAKTÖR KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN ÖZ-LİDERLİK KARAKTERİSTİKLERİ ÜZERİNDE ETKİSİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI

In the contemporary era, as a result of the radical progress of technology through digitization, business ecosystems are transforming into structures that are more competitive, innovative, and capable of responding rapidly to change. Throughout this transformative process, the concept of leadership has evolved towards more diverse perspectives, building on its significance since the Industrial Revolution. Beyond the traditional notion of leadership, the concept of self-leadership emerges as a crucial tool in the rapidly changing dynamics of competitive business environments. Research suggests that the characteristics of self-leadership vary according to individuals' personality structures. Due to the insufficient exploration of studies concerning the relationship between individuals' self-leadership and their personality structures within Turkish culture, this study was conducted. In this perspective, a quantitative research methodology was employed by researchers, with a focus on relational analysis among variables. The study involved the administration of self-leadership and the Big Five personality traits scales to 349 participants. Gender and sectoral differences in the relationship between self-leadership and the five personality traits were also examined. The analyses revealed significant effects of the five personality traits on self-leadership in the overall context (β: .376, p < .05). The extraversion personality trait exhibited a significant impact on self-leadership (β: .322, p < .05). Openness to experience had a significant effect on self-leadership (β: .344, p < .05), as did the responsibility personality trait (β: .348, p < .05). When examined from a gender perspective, the gender factor was identified as a significant variable in the impact of the agreeableness personality trait on self-leadership (β1: .247; β2: .192, p < .05). Additionally, the gender factor was found to be a significant variable in the impact of extraversion personality trait on self-leadership (β1: .271; β2: .382, p < .05). Furthermore, when exploring differences between individuals working in the public or private sectors, the sector factor was identified as a significant variable in the impact of emotional stability personality trait on self-leadership (β1: .243; β2: .337, p < .05).
