Personality traits of the small and medium oil palm farmer and crop productivity

Personality traits are the intrinsic factors that shape each person's behavior in different scenarios, situations, and contexts. Therefore, the present study, carried out in the municipality of Tibú, Norte de Santander, was proposed with the objective of analyzing the personality traits of the small and medium oil palm growers of the associations ASOPALSER and ASOPALCATDOS of the municipality of Tibú, Norte de Santander, Colombia, which affected the Productivity of the crop in the period 2020-2021. The methodology used had a quantitative and descriptive approach, where two associations of small-scale African palm oil producers were chosen, Asopalser and Asopalcatdos, totaling 101 small producers, a population to which the Big Five test was applied, which measures five personality traits: extraversion, agreeableness, responsibility, neuroticism, and openness to change. The mean scores of the individuals were analyzed to detect which traits were most frequently present, and then the correlation with Productivity was studied, taking as a measure the income of each association. The results indicate that most of the population presents a medium level in terms of the final score for the personality traits evaluated, highlighting extraversion, neuroticism, and openness to change, which also have the highest coefficients with respect to Productivity. On the other hand, it was found that the correlation between personality traits and Productivity is low for all the dimensions, which leads to rejecting the hypotheses of the study. For this reason, group activities are proposed to improve this, and the other dimensions are evaluated in the personality test in order to improve the Productivity of the producers

USE OF TECHNOLOGIES OF HIGHER NERVOUS ACTIVITY AND PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL HUMAN FUNCTIONS STUDYING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS

Applied techniques and some results of studies the higher nervous activity (HNA) of the people, their psychophysiological functions (PFF) by Ukrainian scientists and doctors were described, as well as influences of extreme conditions on HNA. Aim. Results of the influence of extreme mountain conditions at high altitudes (hypoxia, etc.) demonstration and further research of changes in the psychophysiological functions of the brain under these conditions; description of the developed methods of professional selection. Methods. Comparative analysis of a large number of the data from experiments and observations. Physical, mathematical, program modeling. Methods of HNA, brain research: electroencephalography, diagnosis of personal neurodynamic features, etc. Three methods of PFF research: parameters of the neurodynamic level, parameters of the neuropsychological level, and personal specifics. The adapted questionnaire scheme (QS) based on Cattell's 16-factor personality tests was applied. Results. The influence of hypoxia and other factors of mountain conditions on HNA were studied deeply. The results were presented. Also, there were presented results of registered changes of EEG in such extreme conditions. The influence of a number of stress factors in extreme conditions (hypoxia, etc.) has been demonstrated. Some basic methods of HNA researches used in such conditions were described as well as results of investigations of individual typological features of the nervous systems were presented. Methods for human psychophysiological functions studying were described. Studies of human personal characteristics were described in details. Data recorded by the PNN-3 device were taken for the diagnosis of personal neurodynamic features. The parameters of the neuropsychological level were determined using the following methods: "triangles" (the level of development of short-term visual memory), "instrument scales" (working memory, attention functions, etc.), and "red and black tables" (allocation and switching of attention). Personality structures, features, and types of behavior of operators in stressful situations were estimated basing on adapted QS by Cattell. Mathematical models of the reliability of human nervous system functioning under extreme conditions were developed. Conclusions. The obtained results were taken as the basis for the developed professional selection methods for special contingents, pilots, operators, etc. Physical, mathematical, and program models of the reliability of the human nervous system functioning in these conditions were proposed.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STATE ON THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH OF WOMEN AFTER THE EXPERIENCED DISEASE OF COVID-19

Introduction. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recognized as a pandemic caused by the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has become a serious challenge for the health care system around the world. Consequences of psychological health during recovery from COVID-19 can contribute to social alienation, social isolation, and economic losses. In particular, it remains to be investigated how the reproductive system can be directly or indirectly affected by SARS-CoV-2, in the long-term, precisely against the background of psycho-emotional changes. Aim. To study the psycho-emotional state of women and the impact on the reproductive system due to the impact of SARS-CoV-2. Materials and methods. In order to determine the impact of changes in the psycho-emotional state after suffering from the COVID-19 disease on the reproductive function of women with infertility, we included 80 patients who applied to the Carpathian Center for Human Reproduction in Ivano-Frankivsk in the period 2020–2022 for infertility treatment in a comprehensive examination, aged 18–40. Results. Vegetative dysfunction syndrome (VD), which was previously called vegetovascular dystonia (VDD), is attracting the attention of researchers again, in particular in association with "long-Covid-19", an increase in stressogenic loads. Currently, in world medicine, the term somatoform autonomic dysfunction is used, which most often refers to symptoms that are a consequence of another disease. Personal psycho-emotional characteristics of patients play a certain role in the occurrence and course of diseases, especially psychosomatic ones, which include the long-COVID-19 syndrome. A strong correlation of the severity of SVD with three main scales of the FPI personality test was established: with neuroticism (the strongest direct relationship, ρ = 0.72), depression (strong direct relationship, ρ = 0.64) and equanimity (strong inverse relationship, ρ = -0.61). Thus, the vast majority of women with long-Covid-19 were in an anxious state (91.2% vs. 30.0% of women in the control group, p<0.05), 22.5% had an anxiety level of 11 or higher and corresponded to clinically expressed, only 5.5% patients with clinically expressed anxiety were found in the group without COVID-19 (p<0.05). Clinically expressed depression in the main group was diagnosed 5 times more often than in the control group (13.8% vs. 2.5%, respectively, p<0.05). Conclusions. Disturbance of the psycho-emotional state in women with impaired fertility of reproductive age after suffering from Covid-19 has an impact on the effectiveness of infertility treatment. Understanding the mechanisms of the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the psycho-emotional state of women with infertility will contribute to the search for ways to prevent reproductive losses and pregnancy complications in women who have experienced COVID-19.

Analysing the Mathematical Critical and Creative Thinking Abilities in Problem Solving Introverted Students

This study aims to evaluate the critical and creative thinking abilities in the context of mathematics when solving problems related to arithmetic sequences and series among introverted students in the 11th grade at Xaverius 1 High School in Jambi City. This issue arises due to differences in thinking skills and cognitive processes among students based on personality types, where it was found that introverted students tend to have low mathematical critical and creative thinking abilities. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through personality questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Research subjects were selected from introverted students based on personality questionnaire results and answer sheet analysis, with three students representing the various response groups. The results of this study indicate that introverted students demonstrate good mathematical critical thinking skills in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans. However, they tend to overlook rechecking their solutions. The creative mathematical thinking abilities of introverted students mainly involve fluency and flexibility in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans, although they lack in terms of originality and elaboration in problem-solving

The effect of social skills-based blended education on social adjustment, self-esteem and social skills among new nursing students: An experimental study

IntroductionSocial adjustment, self-esteem and social skills may influence students' professionalization and academic success. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a social skills-based blended education on the social adjustment, self-esteem and social skills of new nursing students. MethodsFirst-year undergraduate nursing students in Tehran, Iran, participated in this experimental study in 2023. Participants were selected from two classrooms, one as a control group (26 people) and the other as an intervention group (26 people). The study instruments included the California Personality Test, the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and the Teenage Inventory of Social Skills. The social skills-based blended education was delivered in 10 sessions of blended education (traditional and virtual education). Data were collected at three stages including baseline, immediately and one month after the intervention. A significance level of 0.05 was used. ResultsAccording to the results, the average score of social adjustment and social skills of the students in the intervention group increased significantly from baseline to one month after the intervention (P < 0.001). In the control group, this variable did not increase significantly. The results of the two-way repeated measures ANOVA (comparing the effect of time and group) showed that social skills-based blended education can improve the overall average score of students' social adjustment and social skills (P < 0.001 and P = 0.01 respectively), but it had no significant effect on their self-esteem. ConclusionThe findings can be used by managers and educational planners to design and implement social skills-based blended education in order to improve the social adjustment and social skills of new nursing students.

Quantitative evaluation of a theoretical-conceptual model based on affective and socio-behavioral dimensions to explain the academic performance of mathematics students.

There is evidence that suggests that affective dimensions, personality traits, as well as students' cooperative interpersonal interactions, are an important element in the students learning process. In this work we propose a theoretical model, based on evidence, that shows the direct and indirect relationships between these factors and academic performance in mathematics courses, in undergraduate and school students. To understand the type of relationships between these variables, the PANAS psychometric test of positive and negative affect, the BIG FIVE personality test and the economic decision game DUPLES GAME were applied. The study sample was 130 students between 17 and 22 years of age from undergraduate and school (M ± SD = 20.1 ± 3.99). From a path analysis, statistically significant relationships were found, for example, a direct relationship between neuroticism and positive affect, which in turn is related to academic performance. We also found a direct relationship between neuroticism and negative affect, extraversion and positive affect. This allows us to propose that some of the independent variables of the model directly and indirectly influence the academic performance of students in the subject of mathematics. Positive affect and negative affect directly affect academic performance in mathematics, neuroticism has a direct impact on negative affect and extraversion direct impact on positive affect. Consequently, there are direct and indirect relationships between personality traits and affective dimensions, which affect the academic performance of mathematics students.

Effects of Personality Traits on the Severity of Chronic Subjective Tinnitus: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Background and Objectives: We hypothesized that an individual's personality traits would have an impact on the distress of subjective tinnitus. To investigate this, 32 participants were recruited; we followed up with this cohort. This study is a cross-sectional analysis of a part of this cohort, identifying how their personality traits make a difference in the severity of tinnitus distress. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two participants completed a personality test based on the Big Five theory, consisting of 160 items. Additionally, the severity of tinnitus was assessed using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), and the accompanying level of depression was measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Audiometry tests, including pure-tone audiometry, were also conducted. Participants were categorized into the 'mild group' if their total THI score was 36 or below, and into the 'severe group' if their score was 38 or above. Results: In the traditional five domains of the Big Five Inventory (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism), only the 'Neuroticism' domain showed a difference between the two groups (25.1 ± 21.0 in the mild group and 43.1 ± 18.2 in the severe group, p = 0.014). Among ego-related factors, the 'Helplessness' domain (26.3 ± 22.9 in the mild group and 62.3 ± 27.9 in the severe group, p < 0.001) and the communication-related factor of 'Listening' (58.7 ± 18.8 in the mild group and 37.8 ± 27.9 in the severe group, p = 0.020) showed differences between the two groups. In the multivariate analysis, 'Helplessness' (estimate 0.419, 95% confidence interval 0.249-0.589, p < 0.001), 'Emotional Trauma' (0.213, 0.020-0.406, p = 0.032), and 'Pure-tone threshold at 2000 Hz' (0.944, 0.477-1.411, p < 0.001) were identified as factors influencing the severity of tinnitus distress. Conclusions: Ego-related factors, particularly Helplessness and Emotional Trauma, can influence tinnitus distress and should be considered in the management of tinnitus.

Personality, Social Factors, Brain Functioning, Familial Risk, and Trajectories of Alcohol Misuse in Adolescence

The development of an alcohol use disorder in adolescence is associated with increased risk of future alcohol dependence. The differential associations of risk factors with alcohol use over the course of 8 years are important for preventive measures. To determine the differential associations of risk-taking aspects of personality, social factors, brain functioning, and familial risk with hazardous alcohol use in adolescents over the course of 8 years. The IMAGEN multicenter longitudinal cohort study included adolescents recruited from European schools in Germany, the UK, France, and Ireland from January 2008 to January 2019. Eligible participants included those with available neuropsychological, self-report, imaging, and genetic data at baseline. Adolescents who were ineligible for magnetic resonance imaging or had serious medical conditions were excluded. Data analysis was conducted from July 2021 to September 2022. Personality testing, psychosocial factors, brain functioning, and familial risk of alcohol misuse. Hazardous alcohol use as measured with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test scores, a main planned outcome of the IMAGEN study. Alcohol misuse trajectories at ages 14, 16, 19, and 22 years were modeled using latent growth curve models. A total of 2240 adolescents (1110 female [49.6%] and 1130 male [50.4%]) were included in the study. There was a significant negative association of psychosocial resources (β = -0.29; SE = 0.03; P < .001) with the general risk of alcohol misuse as well as a significant positive association of the risk-taking aspects of personality with the intercept (β = 0.19; SE = 0.04; P < .001). Furthermore, there were significant positive associations of the social domain (β = 0.13; SE = 0.02; P < .001) and the personality domain (β = 0.07; SE = 0.02; P < .001) with trajectories of alcohol misuse development over time (slope). Family history of substance misuse was negatively associated with general risk of alcohol misuse (β = -0.04; SE = 0.02; P = .045) and its development over time (β = -0.03; SE = 0.01; P = .01). Brain functioning showed no significant association with intercept or slope of alcohol misuse in the model. The findings of this cohort study suggest known risk factors of adolescent drinking may contribute differentially to future alcohol misuse. This approach may inform more individualized preventive interventions.

Personalized Marketing: Segmentation of Consumer Groups Based on MBTI -- Taking Starbucks as an Example

This paper studies the internal logic of the major brands represented by Starbucks adopting this marketing method, and explores how the brands transform the hot topics on the Internet into hot consumption spots and attract consumers through personalized marketing strategies. At the same time, this paper will also focus on the possible problems in the process of personalized marketing, and put forward relevant suggestions. In fact, due to the rapid development of modern information technology and increasingly fierce market competition, enterprises should implement precision marketing, select clear market segments as target markets on the basis of market segmentation, gain in-depth insight into consumer psychology, and tap consumer demand. With the help of MBTI personality test, enterprises can accurately and quickly locate consumer groups, identify the market, and maximize corporate benefits. At the same time, as the social consumption decision-making currency in the new network era, it is closely related to the individual needs of consumers. When enterprises grasp the personality characteristics of consumers and formulate marketing strategies, consumers' loyalty to the brand is greatly enhanced, and the marketing efficiency of enterprises is also greatly improved. Therefore, the segmentation of consumer groups based on MBTI has far-reaching research significance, and this marketing strategy will play an important role in the future corporate marketing.

The habitual degree of weight loss might be associated with specific fat and protein intakes during a period of weight maintenance in athletes used to weight variations: preliminary results from the WAVE study

Weight variations are common in sporting life, with important inter-individual variability in the degree of an athlete's habitual weight loss. As a part of the WAVE study (NCT04107545), the main objective of this preliminary study was to determine whether the habitual degree of weight loss was associated with anthropometric, body composition, nutritional or psychometric profiles during a period of weight maintenance in athletes accustomed to weight variations. We hypothesized that athletes accustomed to a higher habitual degree of weight loss may have a higher body weight and body fat mass, and may present a more controlled diet regimen and cognitive restriction than athletes with a lower habitual degree of weight loss. During a period of weight maintenance, 62 athletes (24.0 ± 5.3 years; 26 women) completed anthropometry and body composition measurements, a 48-hours food diary and self-reported questionnaires to determine their weight variation practice, nutritional profile and mood state. Athletes were stratified within inter- and intra-quartile groups according to their habitual degree of weight loss. Athletes with a higher habitual degree of weight loss were those who consumed more protein (P < .001) and less fat (P = .01) as a proportion of total energy compared with those losing less weight, without any difference in body composition between the groups. The rapid weight loss score was significantly higher in individuals losing more weight (P < .001) and no difference was observed for the mood state profile. The present results suggest a potential control of nutritional regulation during a period of weight maintenance in order to spare fat-free mass and favor fat mass loss in athletes who are routinely losing more weight. Fat-free mass may be the main nutritional driver due to low body fat mass in athletes, which may limit the “catch-up fat” phenomenon commonly observed in nonathletic population.

Students’ personality types and their choices concerning writing in English as a foreign language

The article attempts to present the results of a pilot study conducted in January – June 2020 among Polish high school students. The main aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between students’ personality type and their choices concerning writing in English as a foreign language. The study consisted of two stages – in the first stage students took an online personality test (MBTI), in the second – they filled in a questionnaire to express their views concerning writing skill. The first, theoretical, part of the article depicts different definitions of personality from the perspective of psychological types and psychological traits and summarises basic information connected with writing skill. In the second part the results of the study are presented and some conclusions are drawn, focusing on what implications the knowledge of students’ personality types can have on teaching writing.

Are you ready for a challenge? Personality traits influence dairy calves' responses to disease, pain, and nutritional challenges

Dairy calves routinely experience disease, pain, and nutritional stressors such as diarrhea, dehorning, and weaning early in life. These stressors lead to changes in behavioral expression that varies in magnitude between individuals, where a greater magnitude change would suggest lower resilience in individuals to a stressor. Thus, this study first aimed to quantify the individual variation in magnitude change in feeding behaviors and activity in response to a bout of diarrhea, dehorning, and weaning. The next objective was to then investigate if personality traits were related to this magnitude of behavioral response in dairy calves, and thus their resilience toward these stressors. Calves were followed with 2 precision livestock technologies (e.g.: an automatic feeding system (AFS), and leg accelerometer) to track behavioral changes in response during the time when the stressors were present. The AFS provided daily measures of milk intake, drinking speed, rewarded and unrewarded visits to the milk feeding station, and calf starter intake. The leg accelerometer provided daily measures of steps, activity index, lying time, and lying bouts. At 23 ± 3 d of age, Holstein dairy calves (n = 49) were subjected to a series of standardized personality tests that exposed calf to novelty and fear stimuli. Factors extracted from a principal component analysis on the behaviors from the personality test were utilized to represent personality traits: Factor 1 ('Fearful'), Factor 2 ('Active') and Factor 3 ('Explorative'). The magnitude change in behaviors from the precision livestock technologies were calculated relative to the behavior performed on the day the stressor occurred (i.e., day of diagnosis; day of dehorning; day weaned). Linear regression models were utilized to determine if calf scores on each factor were associated with magnitude change in behavior for each of the stressor periods with day relative to the stressor included as a repeated measure. Models were run independently for the period leading up to and following each stressor. We found that calves varied in their behavioral responses to diarrhea, dehorning, and weaning stressors, despite being reared in the same environment and experiencing consistent management procedures. Additionally, personality traits measured from standardized tests were associated to both the direction and magnitude of change in behaviors around each stressor. For instance, with diarrhea, calves that were highly 'Fearful' had a greater magnitude change in milk intake and drinking speed following diagnosis than the least 'Fearful' calves. With dehorning, calves that were highly 'Explorative' had a greater magnitude change in lying time when dehorned, but a smaller magnitude change in lying bouts and drinking speed following dehorning, than the least 'explorative' calves. With weaning, calves that were highly 'Active' had a smaller magnitude change in unrewarded visits leading up to and following weaning than calves that were the least 'Active'. Each of the personality traits had a significant association with change in behavior surrounding each of the stressors evaluated, although these associations depended on the type of stressor. These results have implications for how individual calves experience each stressor and therefore individual animal welfare.

The Influence of Hand Dimensions on Finger Flexion during Lower Paleolithic Stone Tool Use in a Comfortable Grip

Considering the biomechanical and cognitive aspects involved in tool manipulation, hand size emerges as a critical factor. Males, on average, exhibit greater grip strength attributed to larger hand dimensions. Beyond mere physical factors, cognitive components tied to visuospatial abilities also influence stone tool use. However, the intricate relationship between hand size, grip strength, and ergonomic patterns necessitates further exploration. Here, we study the ergonomic pattern of phalanx flexion during the manipulation of Lower Paleolithic stone tools (choppers and handaxes) to understand the nuanced interplay between hand dimensions and grasping behaviors in Lower Paleolithic stone tool use. The static hand posture during the comfortable grasping of each tool is measured using a motion capture hand glove. Flexions are measured at the metacarpophalangeal joint, the proximal interphalangeal joint and the distal interphalangeal joint of each finger. Our investigation into Lower Paleolithic stone tool manipulation reveals gender-based differences in phalanx flexion, with hand dimensions showing correlation only in pooled samples. However, these associations diminish when analyzing males and females separately. This study suggests a minimal link between hand size and grasping behavior within our sample, hinting at the influence of cognitive, behavioral, and motor factors. Exploring lifestyle and psychometric profiles could provide further insights. In the context of early human technology, our results prompt considerations on the evolution of the hand-tool interaction system, linking our tool-dependent culture to our phylogenetic history.

Work addiction and personality organization: Results from a representative, three-wave longitudinal study

Background: Several studies have explored the relationship between personality and work addiction, suggesting that individuals with certain mental disorders, including personality disorders such as obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), may be more prone to work addiction. However, the characterization of personality organization (PO) among workaholics and its contribution to the persistence of work addiction remains unclear. Methods: In this longitudinal study of a representative sample of young adults (N = 1748), we applied the Bergen Work Addiction Scale and the Inventory of Personality Organization. Results: We found significant correlations between work addiction and identity diffusion, primitive psychological defenses, reality testing, and overall personality disorganization across three waves. A latent class growth analysis revealed three profiles: no work addiction, increasing work addiction, and constant moderate work addiction. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that higher levels of personality disorganization in wave 1 and increases in personality disorganization between waves 1 and 3 were associated with higher odds of belonging to the increasing work addiction group. Similarly, higher overall personality disorganization in wave 1 was associated with higher odds of belonging to the constant moderate work addiction group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that individuals with chronic work addiction have lower levels of PO, and PO declines as work addiction persists. Screenings for work addiction are recommended to prevent potential mental health issues. Future research should explore the influence of workplace characteristics and work motivations on the association between work addiction and personality disorders.

A scoping review of Fit in medical education: a guaranteed success, or a threat to inclusivity?

Background: Finding applicants that fit in with educational environments is a goal of many educators in hopes that it will lead to successful training. “Fit” is used colloquially to describe a general feeling, however the field of study has grown to include specific terms describing the compatibility between people and their environments, organizations, and jobs. Despite common use, the term is used often but non-specifically in medical education. This review aims to examine the current literature of fit in medical education, how fit is defined, measured and whether it correlates to educational outcomes. Methods: A systematic database search was conducted in 2024 with Medline, Embase, APA PsychINFO, ERIC and Education Source from 1970 to April 23, 2024. Key search terms included fit, student, medicine, clinical, education. Relevant data included definitions of fit, measurement tools, and correlation with educational outcomes. The standard six-step scoping review framework and PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines were used. Results: The search identified 1960 non-duplicate articles, 11 of which were included in the review after screening. Fit was specifically defined in only threearticles and was measured primarily through personality and value testing with interviews and surveys. Educational outcomes correlated positively with fit, however were studied in just three articles. Conclusions: Person-organization fit may correlate positively with medical education outcomes however there is limited research in this field. Further research should explore methods in evaluating for fit in trainee selection while focusing on the risk of discrimination based on intrinsic biases.

Who is attracted to work at Arctic station in Hornsund? Analysis of personality profiles of applicants

The first Arctic explorers underwent no formal selection procedure, and their personality traits were not diagnosed. Today, select in and select out procedures in systematic screening activities are common, although each country manages a polar station recruits according to its standards. The main goal of this article is to present the results of personality tests of work candidates at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund in Spitsbergen in 2019–2023. The applicants' personality was diagnosed with the NEO Five-Factor Inventory examining the Big Five personality traits. Results indicated that candidates for work in the polar station were significantly lower in neuroticism, slightly lower in openness to experience and higher in conscientiousness than the general Polish population. Moreover, there was a significant discrepancy in neuroticism between winterers and those not selected for wintering. This result was not observed in the female group. Potential reasons for study outcomes will be discussed in the article.
