Voice And Speech

Purpose Voice and speech are rich with information about a speaker's personality and other features of identity. This study seeks to determine the extent to which listeners agree about speakers' social, physical, and personality attributes. Method Two experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, listeners rated a group of speakers who were unbalanced for sex and personality traits. The second experiment elaborated on the first by ensuring the speaker set was balanced for sex and personality traits. Both experiments played standard speech samples from speakers who provided personality information via the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire–Brief Form. Groups of listeners rated each speaker on the same personality traits and other features of identity. Responses were analyzed for listener agreement. Results For both experiments, listeners showed consistently high levels of agreement on the personality attributes of a speaker. For certain speakers, listener agreement on some personality traits was as high as 92% and 97% in Experiments 1 and 2, respectively. Furthermore, a range of agreement across personality subscales was observed across speakers such that some were agreed-upon across all personality ratings and others were agreed-upon only for a few personality traits. Conclusions When it comes to judging personality traits and other features of identity, most listeners might not be “correct” about speakers' traits and attributes, but they broadly agree about how the listener sounds. Some speakers send more salient voice and speech cues that drive agreement about their personality, whereas others speak in a manner that precludes consensus.

Abstract Personality has been linked to risk of dementia. Most studies ask individuals to rate their own personality traits or for a knowledgeable informant to perform the rating; few collect data from both. When informants are asked to give an estimate of the patient’s lifelong personality traits, they often describe personality before disease onset. When asked to self-rate, patients may instead assess their personality as they see themselves, providing a personality-state measure. The goal of this study was to assess agreement between two independent measures of personality and evaluate whether stage of cognitive impairment and characteristics of patients or caregivers impact concordance. In 79 consecutive patient-caregiver dyads presenting to our center (mean age:76.8±8.4; 44.1% female; 6% cognitively normal, 41% MCI; and 53% dementia) with in-depth psychosocial and neuropsychological evaluations, we found informants rated patients lower on openness (O) (ICC=0.434; 95%CI: 0.235-0.598) and agreeableness (A) (ICC=0.491; 95%CI: 0.302-0.643) and higher on extraversion (O) (ICC=0.396; 95%CI: 0.191-0.568) and neuroticism (N) (ICC=0.444; 95%CI: 0.247-0.607). Greater discordance was observed in established dementia (ICCE=0.497; 95%CI: 0.222-0.700; ICCA=0.337; 95%CI:0.031-0.586; ICCN=0.422; 95%CI: 0.191-0.683), compared with MCI (ICCO=0.568; 95%CI: 0.282-0.762). We explored the effect of patient and caregiver mood and caregiver burden on personality ratings. Although personality is typically described as a trait, we present evidence that in the eyes of patients, personality ratings may represent a state that changes across the spectrum of cognitive impairment. Understanding how patients and caregivers differentially perceive personality may assist in developing novel psychotherapeutic interventions and approaches dealing with behavioral manifestations of dementia.

Internal Affairs

The key objective of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is law enforcement within the country. Therefore, studying the problems of improving the professional development of managerial personnel in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia requires a thorough study. This article focuses on the psychological and educational basis of the process, which, in the authors' opinion, is one of the research priorities. Methods used: the California CPI personality questionnaire (a methodology adapted for working with senior personnel of the Internal Affairs bodies) which allows to identify the socio-psychological potential of an officer and his individual components - personality traits contributing to socially significant achievements [1]. It is important to note that the problem of managerial potential in the internal affairs bodies is still under development. Consequently, the topic of the study remains very relevant as well as not entirely worked out.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the predictive effects of impulsivity levels and distinct personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion and psychotic) on metacognitive thoughts across a healthy population. The study was carried out with 69 university students who were selected randomly (60 female, 9 male; 18-28 ages). Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, MCQ-30 Metacognition Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-Short Form and a demographical information form were used for data collection. Regression analyses were used in data examining. Findings revealed a statistically significant positive effect of neuroticism on metacognition. According to statistical analysis, there was a predictive effect of non-planning subscale scores of impulsivity on cognitive awareness subscale scores of metacognition. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant predictive effect of attentional subscale scores of impulsivity on cognitive confidence subscale scores of metacognition scale. The results were discussed regarding the limitations of the study and the suggestions were provided for future studies. KeyWords: Metacognition, Impulsivity, Personality
