Types of Personality According to the Development Level of Social Intelligence

The problem of the fact associated with the scientific reflection of the processes that create typological relationships in modern psychological research is not high enough. In social and humanity sciences, there are procedures for simplifying this area as a logical and methodological basis for the development of typological and structural components. The article discusses the problem of personality typology in psychology and analyzes the results of the research on defining the specifics of the methodology of studying personality types based on the levels of social intelligence that ensured personality maturity. As a result of scientific research, the psycho types are divided into 4 types: imperative, declarative, explicit, and implicit, which differ from the function and level of social intelligence of a person as well as the correlational relations between indicators of social intelligence cluster of personality types have been determined.

Loving a good fight: personality traits and reactions to conflict in TV debates

AbstractThis article seeks to contribute to our understanding of media influence on political behaviour by investigating the ways in which people with different personality types react to candidates’ conflicting rhetoric in televised debates during election campaigns. It analyses responses along three reaction types: evaluations of candidate character, debate performance, and voting intentions in two debate clips from the 2019 UK general election and 2022 Australian federal election. The study uses semi-structured interviews with respondents in the UK and relies on deductive, flexible thematic analysis. The findings show that respondents’ personality traits are associated with different reactions to conflict in televised debates, which are sometimes mediated by the nature of attack, partisanship and preconceptions about candidates especially in the UK debate.

The Differential Nature of Remote Learning Among University Students

One of the many drastic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 was a sudden shift to remote learning for post-secondary students. This study aims to build a foundation for that understanding, with a particular focus on addressing the effects on students who were working concurrently with their studies through the pandemic. A survey was conducted, gathering 181 responses from undergraduate computing students attending Mount Royal University. The survey queries the students’ experience with work-school balance during the pandemic, their feelings about online classes, the perceived positive and negative aspects of learning online, and whether they would opt into online classes in the future in the absence of any pandemic-related concerns. The results show a clear perception of increased flexibility (88%) coupled with an increase in the students’ ability to manage their time (61%). Given that 74% of the respondents report that online classes are more convenient than in-person classes while only 22% report a negative impact on their performance, this study concludes that online learning opportunities may correlate with an easing of stress on post-secondary students without significantly impacting academic performance for certain personality types, while others report significantly negative experiences with respect to their mental health.

The relationship between nomophobia and latent classes of personality.

The phenomenon of nomophobia, defined as the anxiety experienced when a person is without their mobile phone or is unable to use it, has been identified as having serious negative effects on individuals, particularly students. Previous research has explored the relationship between personality traits and nomophobia, but the findings have been inconclusive. The main objective of this study was to classify personality types through latent class analysis and explore the relationship between these personality types and nomophobia. The Chinese version of the Nomophobia Scale and the Chinese brief version of the Big Five Personality Inventory were used in this study to survey 1906 Chinese college students. The results indicated that (1) a four-class model provided the best fit and categorized the personality traits as the overcontrolled class, resilient class, moderate class, and vulnerable class; (2) significant differences were observed between the four personality types and nomophobia, with overcontrolled and resilient personality types consistently scoring significantly lower than moderate and vulnerable personality types. Our finding highlights the key feature of the study.

Nurses' Personality Traits and Perceived Work Environments During Public Health Emergencies: Implications for Nursing Workforce Planning.

The nursing workforce faces substantial challenges, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 era. Developing an effective strategy for workforce maintenance and the strategic deployment of nurses is crucial. This study aimed to explore and categorize nurses' personality traits, with a focus on analyzing differences in their perceptions of the nursing work environment. Between January 2023 and February 2023, a multi-center cross-sectional study was carried out involving nurses from 12 tertiary hospitals actively engaged in frontline COVID-19 response duties. Through cluster sampling, surveys were distributed among eligible nursing staff, comprising a general information questionnaire, the Chinese Big Five Personality Questionnaire-Short Form, subjective evaluations of emergency nursing management, and the Chinese Nursing Work Environment Scale for Public Health Emergencies. Various statistical analyses, such as descriptive analysis, cluster analysis, non-parametric tests, and general linear model analysis, were employed to investigate the correlation between personality types and the perception of nursing work environments. The analysis encompassed 1059 valid questionnaires, reflecting the experiences of frontline nurses. The majority of these nurses possessed 1-5 years of experience, held junior professional titles, volunteered for their roles, and served as attending nurses. Categorization based on personality traits revealed three groups: resilient (35.60%), ordinary (16.15%), and distressed (48.25%) types. Significantly distinct perceptions of nursing work environments emerged among these categories, with resilient and ordinary types expressing notably higher satisfaction compared to the distressed group (H value = 256.487, p < 0.001). This study illustrates the connection between nurses' perceived working environment and their personality traits. Nursing managers should factor in nurses' personality traits when choosing and deploying frontline responders during public health emergencies. Prioritizing resilient-type nurses and crafting a supportive work environment that aligns with nurses' characteristics is indispensable for an effective emergency response.

Relationship Between Personality and Relapse of Breast Cancer Patients at The Oncology Polyclinic Dr. Soetomo Academic General Hospital Surabaya

Introductions: Breast cancer is a major health problem that affects the lives of millions of women. Some patients have tried treatment, but cancer recurrence is still present. It is suspected that growth factors play a role in the occurrence of relapse. However, until now, it has been controversial. Finding out whether there is a relation between personality and the incidence of relapse in breast cancer and comparing the personalities of patients with relapsed breast cancer with those with non-relapsed breast cancer. Methods: Analytical research is an observational case-control study. The number of respondents is 56 patients who meet the criteria. It consists of 28 relapsed patients and 28 non-relapsed patients. The research was conducted at the Oncology Polyclinic of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Using an instrument to measure personality types that have been validated, namely the OCEAN—Big Five Questionnaire Inventory 44 and Demographic Questionnaire. Results: There is no relationship between personality and the incidence of relapse in breast cancer (p &gt; 0.05). The type of personality in relapse with the most neuroticism (29%) and non-relapse with the most openness (32%), extraversion (36%). Conclusions: The incidence of relapse in breast cancer is not only caused by personality factors; it is possible that other factors play a role. However, the personality of neuroticism is quite prominent in relapse patients.

Analysis of Creative Thinking Skill in Solving Mathematical Problems Viewed from the Types of Personality

Creative thinking skills are part of the student’s thinking process in solving math problems. Each student has a different thought process according to their personality, so needed suitable learning model for each type of integration. One of the personality type that can be used to review students creative thinking skills is the Keirsey personality type. The purpose of this research is to obtain a description of student personality types based on Keirsey personality test results and creative thinking skills of students in solving mathematical problems on personality types Guardian, Artisan, Rational, and Idealist. The research subjects were students of class X MIPA 1 in one of the senior high schools in Bandung by purposive sampling. This research is descriptive-qualitative research. The results showed that subjects with Guardian personality types became the majority in the class and students with Idealist personality types became the minority. Then based on the results of the analysis, students with Guardian personality types meet indicators of fluency, novelty, and elaboration; Artisans meet indicators of fluency and novelty; Idealists meet indicators of fluency and novelty; and Rational meet all indicators of creative thinking skills, namely fluency, flexibility, novelty and elaboration. By knowing the student’s personality type, it is expected to be a reference in teaching methods in order to improve student creative thinking skills. Keywords: creative thinking skill, solving mathematical problems, types of personality

Keystroke Logging for Activity-Monitoring using Python

Cyberwarfare is observed very frequently as always some or the other country is targeting to ruin its enemy country by hacking confidential data from vital computer systems. This has led to dangerous international conflicts. Hence, to avoid illicit entry of other than military person or a government official several tools are being used today as spyware. Keyloggers are one of the prominent tools which are used in today’s world to obtain secret or confidential data of a legitimate and contradictory a malicious user too. These keyloggers are advantageous and taken up positively for monitoring employee productivity, for law enforcement and the search for evidence of the crime. While it’s negative illegitimate use includes data theft and passwords. The keylogger is today witnessed as a malicious attack and is looked upon as a security threat. But every coin has two sides. Keylogger actually helps in avoiding several security breaches and also aids in detecting several crimes across the net world followed by other fellow countries. This fact has motivated to write this paper and as a consequence, an experimental analysis too was carried out in order to conclude that keyloggers’ log file helps identify the person by analyzing proper pattern of the words entered in the file. This paper focuses majorly on the aspect of natural language processing, where a log file obtained thru keylogger software is thoroughly processed via the algorithm as described in the paper. The results yielded a fair understanding of the results obtained as one can easily identify the words used and on the basis of that can also know the type of person on the other end with his ideas, malicious one or of a legal kind

How COVID-19 Information Fear of Missing out Increases the Risk of Depression and Anxiety: Roles of Resilience and Personality Types

During major health emergencies (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic) people often fear missing relevant information. COVID-19 information fear of missing out (FOMO) is a phenomenon where people feel anxiety about losing control of COVID-19-related information. The present study aimed to examine how COVID-19 information FOMO relates to mental health (e.g., depression and anxiety), the mediating role of resilience, and the moderating role of personality types during the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed 1442 Chinese undergraduates (Mage = 21.68 ± 2.35 years) on the relevant variables. The results showed that COVID-19 information FOMO was positively associated with depression and anxiety, and resilience mediated these associations. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified three personality types (undercontrolled, adaptive, and overcontrolled). Personality types moderated the mediation models, in which the indirect effects were only significant in the participants classified in the undercontrolled group rather than the participants classified in the other two groups. This study told us that undergraduates’ mental health, particularly that of the undercontrollers, should be paid attention to when responding to a major public health emergency (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic).

Associations of type D personality with amplitude-time ECG parameters

Negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) inherent in type D personalities produce chronic distress, which leads to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Currently, a search is underway for mechanisms that mediate the psychosomatic connections of a type D personality. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of amplitude-time ECG parameters in type D personalities and to establish associations of amplitude-time ECG patterns in a non-cardiological sample of women with type D indicators and its components - NA and SI. ECG records were obtained from 68 women with gynecological pathology without a history of CVD and at the time of the study, and all of them completed the questionnaire DS 14. Personality type D was confirmed in 39.7%, on the ECG recording in this group, the average amplitude of the R wave, the duration of the QT and RR intervals turned out to be significantly higher than in individuals without type D, and the duration of the QRS complex was significantly lower in the group of respondents with higher scores against a group with low scores. The group with higher NA values showed a significantly higher R wave amplitude, and with higher SI values, a significantly shorter QRS duration than the corresponding groups with low values of these D-type components. More than a third of a non-cardiac sample of women exhibits type D personality. Analysis of amplitude-time ECG patterns in type D personalities indicates increased ventricular excitability and excessive sympathetic reactivity. A specific pathogenic contribution of the synergism of negative affectivity and social inhibition of the expression of negative feelings to the functional organization of electrophysiological processes in the myocardium was found. Amplitude-time ECG patterns of type D individuals indicate an autonomous imbalance of cardiovascular reactivity at the basis of increased vulnerability to CVD.

Children's experiences during their first dental visit: A qualitative study.

While the child's first dental visit can shape his/her attitude towards further treatments, little consideration has been given to exploring this experience from the child's perspective. Therefore, the aim of the study was to delineate the experiences of the first dental visit of children based on self-written stories in their own words. Qualitative study conducted as part of the oral health promoting school program in Isfahan city, Iran. Data collection was based on the responses to a question included in the programme's printed educational content. Schoolchildren were asked to explain about their experiences of their first dental visit in a story. Two researchers read the stories separately and identified concepts and themes. In a discussion panel gained consensus about the main themes. Then the researchers integrated and grouped together similar themes to new categories. Categories originating in the data provided insights into and explanations of factors that might influence the schoolchildren's experience in the dental office. Sampling continued until saturation, when no new codes appeared in the data. The childrens' stories were imported in the MAXQD software and analyzed to retrieve the main categories and themes. Factors that influenced experiences appeared to be idiosyncratic, but could be classified into three categories: the person accompanying the child, child and dentist-related factors. Two sub-categories of the person accompanying the child were the role of person in their treatment and the types of persons accompanying them. Dentist-related factors included three more sub-themes of applied behavioral management techniques, their role in oral health education, and organization of the office environment. The three sub-themes of children's related factors were experiencing fear, remembering the details of their experience, and type of care received. Although the method was limited to the qualitative written stories of children and there was no opportunity to explore more and consider the detailed opinions by face-to-face interviews, some noticeable elements were mentioned by children. The person accompanying the child, child and dentist-related factors were three main categories obtained from the data.

Beyond Gender: How Personality Types Affect Pre-Service EFL Teachers' Speaking Skills

This study examines the impact of gender and personality on the English-speaking skills of pre-service EFL teachers at an Islamic Higher Education institution. The fourth semester of pre-service EFL teachers at an Islamic Higher Education institution who programmed Public Speaking Course are involved in this research. By utilizing an ex post facto with an application of 2 x 4 factorial design, this research involves questionnaire and oral speaking test to collect the needed data. The questionnaire which is taken from standardized personality test by Florence Littauer is used to get the data of students’ types of personality. The results show that gender has a significant impact on English-speaking skills, with females outperforming males. Personality types also have a significant impact on English-speaking skills, with differences observed among choleric, sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic pre-service EFL teachers. However, there is no significant interaction effect between gender and personality types on English-speaking skills. These findings emphasize the importance of considering individual differences when designing language learning programs and interventions in EFL teaching and learning.

The wide base bipedicled (WIBB) flap in nipple-sparing skin-reducing mastectomy

In this article, we present a modification of the NS/SRM technique in which the mastopexy design for skin reduction is undertaken with a wide-base bipedicled (WIBB) flap. The WIBB flap can be applied in both autologous and implant-based breast reconstruction. Our reconstructive algorithm is also presented. The clinical data of patients operated on from June 2017 to November 2022 were collected: 51 patients for a total of 71 breasts. Personal data, BMI, type and volume of implants used, and major and minor complications were analyzed by descriptive statistics. The mean age was 48.3 years. BMI ranged between 21.5 and 30.9 kg/m2. Thirty-one patients underwent unilateral mastectomy, while twenty patients underwent bilateral surgery. In 25 breasts, immediate reconstruction was performed with implants and ADM. In 40 breasts, reconstruction was performed with a subpectoral tissue expander, and in 6 breasts, reconstruction was performed with a DIEP flap. We observed only one case (1.4%) of periprosthetic infection requiring implant removal under general anesthesia. Minor complications occurred in 14.1% of patients. The use of both the WIBB flap and our algorithm maintained a low complication rate in our series, ensuring oncological radicality and a good aesthetic result at the same time.

Structural aspects of personality typology of patients suffering from cardiovascular pathology associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus started as a metabolic disorder, but finished as a vascular pathology, which determines the prognosis and outcomes of disease. The research of personality psychotypes of patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with cardiovascular pathology was undertaken in order to study one of the basic components of system-forming factor of the pathological nervous regulation system.&#x0D; MATERIALS AND METHODS: 148 patients were examined (49 men, 99 women), divided into 2 groups: 1) patients with combined cardiovascular pathology and type 2 diabetes mellitus (monitoring group), 2) patients with cardiovascular pathology without type 2 diabetes mellitus (comparison group). Additional control group: 30 practically healthy volunteers. We conducted a questionnaire and a clarifying interview with profile patients undergoing a planned course of treatment in the therapeutic clinics. The domestic version of the psychological questionnaire test mini-mult AMPQ (Abbreviated Multifactorial Personality Questionnaire), which is an abbreviated form of MMPI, as well as “M. Lusher Color Selection Method” were used. The Nickstormsoftware computer software package “Oskord” (version 1.2) was used for statistical processing of the results.&#x0D; RESULTS: It was found: there are three main psychotypes — asteno-neurotic, epileptoid-exitable, hyperthymic — prevail in the total population of patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with cardiovascular pathology. The most favorable clinical situation is observed in patients with hyperthymic personality type, what demonstrates the systemic level influence of the psychotype. The definition of the personality structure implements a personalized approach to the patient, because it allows you to take into account the characteristics of each psychotype.&#x0D; CONCLUSION: Psychical factors affect the treatment of diabetes and concomitant pathology to the same extent as the treatment itself can affect the psychic state. Such a psychophysiological nature of interaction determines the modeling, possibly organizing role of psychotype components in the work of central link of the nervous regulation pathological system — the basis of the cardiovascular pathology associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus pathogenesis, which requires further scrupulous research, analysis and generalization.

The Interactive Effect of Personality Types and Learning Setting on Performance in Accounting Courses

ABSTRACT This paper examines whether students’ personality types influence their performance in two masters-level accounting courses: one traditional lecture setting (Financial Accounting) and one active learning setting (Accounting Research). Research has shown that accounting student performance is related to personality types (Nourayi and Cherry 1993; Lawrence and Taylor 2000). However, the accounting profession is pushing for active learning to emphasize the importance of communication and critical thinking skills (Pincus, Stout, Sorensen, Stocks, and Lawson 2017). Our study is the first to relate personality types to performance in learning settings in the accounting area. We also extend prior personality type research to examine masters-level accounting student performance. We find that Extrovert students outperformed Introvert students in the active learning setting and Sensing students outperformed Intuitive students in the traditional lecture setting. Combining personality types into four personality temperaments and four MBTI cognitive function groups also resulted in significant effects on student performance. Data Availability: Data are available from the authors upon request.

Mental toughness in adolescents: bridging family relationships and depression across personality traits

BackgroundAdolescence is a pivotal stage vulnerable to mental health issues like anxiety and depression. While family relationships, mental toughness, and personality traits are known to impact adolescent mental health, their interactive and moderating roles are not fully understood.AimThis study aims to investigate the mediating role of mental toughness in the relationship between family relationships and depression among high school students, and to examine the varying impacts of personality traits on this mediation.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 734 adolescents. Participants completed measures assessing family relationships, mental toughness, personality traits, and mental health outcomes (depression). Latent Profile Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling, to investigate these relationships.ResultsThe study found that mental toughness significantly mediates the relationship between family relationships and depression. Notably, this mediating effect varied between personality type; it was more pronounced in the moderate-reserved type compared to the proactive-engaged type. LPA identified two distinct personality types of students based on their personality traits, with differential patterns of family relationships, mental toughness, and depression. Multiple regression analysis indicated that character and adaptability, components of mental toughness, were significant negative predictors of depression.ConclusionThe study contributes to understanding the dynamics of adolescent mental health, particularly in the context of Chinese high school students. It underscores the importance of considering family dynamics, personality traits, and mental toughness in developing effective mental health interventions for adolescents.

How Idiographic Methodologies Can Move the Clinical-Science Field Forward to Integrate Personalized Treatment Into Everyday Clinical Care and Improve Treatment Outcomes

The research–practice gap refers to the fact that most evidence-based treatments created by researchers are not used in routine clinical care, which affects real-world treatment outcomes negatively. One key reason that evidence-based care is not used more frequently is its nonpersonalized format. For example, most evidence-based treatments are based on averages and are limited in addressing comorbidity, heterogeneity, and the needs of clients with minoritized identities. These limitations reduce therapist uptake of evidence-based treatment at large. As a result, most patients seeking treatment in community settings do not receive evidence-based care, which could more quickly and effectively reduce mental-health suffering. Furthermore, even clinicians who want to engage in evidence-based practice must still rely on their clinical judgment in decision-making when treatments fail to address client-specific needs. This reliance on decision-making can influence outcomes negatively. We propose that idiographic (i.e., one-person; N = 1) methodologies (data analysis of one person’s data) combined with digital mental-health technology could help reduce the research–practice gap and improve treatment outcomes. In this article, we outline the many issues contributing to these problems and how idiographic methods of personalization can address these issues. We provide an overview of idiographic methodologies and examples of how to use these methods to personalize existing evidence-based treatments with patients. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for future research and movement within the field that is needed to propel this type of personalization into routine clinical care to reduce the research–practice gap and improve treatment outcomes broadly.
