Abstract Until recently, the translator’s personality was a relatively unexplored area of research, but growing evidence points to the influence of personality on the translator’s decisions. Although findings are not always statistically significant, empirical research indicates that professional translators’ profiles differ from that of the local population, and that certain personality types are more likely to make creative translation choices. This article explores the relationship between personality traits as defined by the Big Five Inventory (Costa & McCrae 1989), and translation choices as defined by Baker (2018) and Molina & Hurtado (2002). The findings indicate that professional translators with a dominant neurotic personality trait are the most creative, whereas those with a dominant conscientious personality trait prefer literal translation choices. However, the findings also indicate that age and experience are competing variables, both indicating a preference for literal translation.

This study was conducted to examine the role of emotion-focused coping as mediator of the relationship between personality traits and the level of problematic internet use. A total of 174 participants in the age range 18-29 (M = 23.1, SD = 2.7) have completed online questionnaires. The instruments used were Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (GPIUS2), Big Five Inventory 44, and Brief COPE. The findings of this study show that emotional-focused coping did not work as a mediator in the three personality trait relationships (neuroticism, extraversion, & openness) with problematic internet use. Nevertheless, this study found that the direction of the relationship between the three variables has aligned with previous theories and findings. Allegations about the possibility of no significance are discussed.Key words: Emotional-focused coping, personality traits, problematic internet useAbstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat peran mediasi coping berfokus emosi pada hubungan trait kepribadian dan tingkat penggunaan internet bermasalah. Sebanyak 174 orang partisipan dengan rentang usia 18-29 tahun (M = 23,1, SD = 2,7) telah mengisi kuesioner secara online. Terdapat tiga alat ukur untuk mengukur ketiga variabel, yakni Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (GPIUS2), Big Five Inventory 44, dan Brief COPE. Hasil temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa coping berfokus emosi tidak dapat bekerja sebagai mediator dalam hubungan tiga trait kepribadian (neuroticism, extraversion, dan openness) dengan penggunaan internet bermasalah. Meskipun demikian, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa arah hubungan antara ketiga variabel telah sejalan dengan teori dan temuan sebelumnya. Dugaan mengenai kemungkinan tidak terjadi signifikansi didiskusikan.

The Relationship

Research since the 1990s reveals that openness to experience—a personality trait that captures interest in novelty, creativity, unconventionalism, and open-mindedness—correlates negatively with political conservatism. This chapter summarizes this vast literature by meta-analyzing 232 unique samples (N = 575,691) that examine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and conservatism. The results reveal that the negative relationship between openness to experience and conservatism (r = −.145) is nearly twice as big as the next strongest correlation between personality and ideology (namely, conscientiousness and conservatism; r = .076). The associations between personality traits and conservatism were, however, substantively larger in Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) countries than in non-WEIRD countries. The chapter concludes by reviewing recent longitudinal work demonstrating that openness to experience and conservatism are non-causally related. Collectively, the chapter shows that openness to experience is by far the strongest (negative) correlate of conservatism but that there is little evidence that this association is causal.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of customer personality and customer relationship proneness (CRP) on customer’s relationship satisfaction (CS) with the firm in emerging economies context. In the study, the authors state that the relationship proneness of the customer (CRP) would be influenced by personality trait of the customer. To examine the argument on personality trait, the authors have adopted Big Five personality trait theory in this study. The authors also argue that CRP would influence CS. Furthermore the authors put forth that customer’s perception of marketer’s relationship orientation (RMO) would mediate the relationship between CRP and CS. Design/methodology/approach – Data for the study were collected through structured questionnaire. A sample of 428 respondents was obtained through questionnaire survey (response rate 41.19 percent) and the hypotheses depicting the aforementioned relationships were empirically tested in the context of banking services in India. Structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used for data analysis. Findings – The results confirm that personality traits influences CRP. Further, customer’s perception of RMO is found to have a mediating effect. Research limitations/implications – The study utilizes cross-sectional data, so the results of the study might vary depending upon the context (country/sector). Practical implications – The outcomes of the study can be utilized by the marketers, particularly in the emerging economies like India for formulating targeted strategies in accordance with the personality type of the customers. Originality/value – The relationship between CRP, personality traits and CS of the customer using Big Five personality theory has been empirically analysed in the context of an emerging economy.

<p>Purpose: The purpose of this research paper is to find out if personality traits have any influence on the level and type of participation in online communities. Aim: The aim of this paper is to find out if the small number of active participants in online communities are dominated by a particular personality trait, and if personality traits influence how much and what type of participation an individual undertakes in online communities. Method: An online survey was used to gather both participation types and levels and to measure personality, using the Big Five Inventory, 44 item tool. Findings: Personality does have an influence on what type of participation individuals undertake in online communities. Individuals displaying high in extraversion traits are less likely to be active in online communities but when they do they identify with a sense of friendship. Individuals displaying high in neurotic traits are less likely to be active in online communities but when they do they are motivated by a sense of belonging. Individuals high in conscientiousness traits are more likely to be motivated to participate by sharing useful information. Individuals high in a combination of conscientiousness and agreeable traits were motivated to participate to share useful information. There was no evidence to suggest that those that do participate are dominated by a particular personality type. What was evident was that individuals high in certain personality traits are less likely to participate in certain content activity. This means that communities that engage in specific content type or activity may be skewed to particular personality types. More in- depth research would be required on one type of community in order to investigate this further.</p>

Trust as a concept found its way to business literature and it became a widely-used variable. Societal trust is systematically measured since 1960s. Later, it was discovered that two statements, which were used as opposite ends of dichotomous questions, are not truly opposite. The aim of this article is to investigate if gender and personality traits influence rating of these two statement. And if so, if it is possible to account for these factors and to create a robust trust indicator from these two statements after all. Big Five Inventory-10 is used to measure personality traits. Findings are that one measure of trust is significantly influenced by agreeableness, while the other is possibly influenced by neuroticism but the relationship is only borderline significant. With regards to the second goal, it is not possible to create a single trust indicator with reasonable properties even with adding personality traits into the equation. This article is a replication of a previous study. This study uses 1-5 Likert scales while the previous used 1-7 Likert scales, while all the questions/statements stayed the same. The difference is that both measures (not only the first measure) of trust were significantly influenced by agreeableness, while neuroticism had a borderline significant impact on the first, not the second measure of trust.

Abstract.SUBJECTIVE HAPPINESS, HUMOR SENSE, AND PERSONALITY IN TEACHINGThe research aims to analyze, firstly, the relationship between different psychological variables of the teachers, that is, subjective happiness, sense of humor and personality. Secondly, to determine the factorial structure of these variables. 454 teachers (24.4% males and 65.6% females), with a mean age of 40.4 years (SD = 10.50) and an average teaching experience of 14.03 years, took part in the study. 15% worked in Early Childhood Education (n = 68), 26.2% in Primary Education (n = 119), 43.6% in Secondary Education (n = 198) and 15.2% in Higher Education (n = 69). The instruments used were the following: Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), Multidimensional Humor Sense Scale (MSHS), and Big Five Inventory-10 items (BFI-10). The results derived from the correlation analysis indicated positive correlations between the different dimensions analyzed, except for the Neuroticism personality trait, in which they were negative. In addition, factorial analysis showed three factors: A first factor formed by the different components of the Humor Sense and the personality trait of Extraversion; a second factor that integrated subjective happiness, the personality trait of Agreeableness and Emotional Stability (the opposite of Neuroticism); and a third factor that included the personality traits of Conscientiousness and Openness to experience. The need to address these psychological variables in the professional development of the teacher is discussed.Keywords: Subjective Happiness, Humor Sense, Personality, TeachersResumen. La investigación pretende analizar, en primer lugar, la relación que existe entre diferentes variables psicológicas de los docentes, esto es, felicidad subjetiva, sentido del humor y personalidad. En segundo lugar, determinar la estructura factorial de dichas variables. Formaron parte del estudio 454 docentes (24.4% hombres y 65.6% mujeres), con una edad media de 40.4 años (DT = 10.50) y una experiencia profesional media de 14.03 años. El 15% trabajaba en Educación Infantil (n = 68), el 26.2% en Educación Primaria (n = 119), el 43.6% en Educación Secundaria (n = 198) y el 15.2% en Educación Superior (n = 69). Los instrumentos empleados fueron los siguientes: la Escala de Felicidad Subjetiva (Subjective Happiness Scale, SHS), la Escala Multidimensional del Sentido del Humor (Multidimensional Humor Sense Scale, MSHS) y el Inventario de Personalidad de los Cinco Factores (Big Five Inventory-10 ítems, BFI-10). Los resultados derivados del análisis correlacional indicaron correlaciones positivas entre las diferentes dimensiones analizadas, excepto para el rasgo de personalidad Neuroticismo, donde fueron negativas. Además, el análisis factorial mostró tres factores: un primer factor formado por los diferentes componentes del sentido del humor y el rasgo de personalidad de extraversión; un segundo factor que integraba el bienestar subjetivo, el rasgo de personalidad de amabilidad y el de estabilidad emocional (el opuesto a Neuroticismo); y un tercer factor que incluía los rasgos de personalidad de responsabilidad y apertura a la experiencias. Se discute la necesidad de atender a estas variables psicológicas en el desarrollo profesional del docente.Palabras clave: felicidad subjetiva, sentido del humor, personalidad, docentes

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to check the relationship existing between the Big Five, together with attitudes towards sexuality, in a sample of 255 Spanish university students (196 female, 59 male). A shortened Spanish interpretation of the Big Five (Benet-Martinez & John, 1998) was used as the basis for measuring personality traits, and a shortened version of the Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS) by Fisher, Byrne, White & Kelley (1998) was used to measure attitudes to Sexuality. The results obtained give limited support to previous investigations in which the relationship between the personality trait Neuroticism (N) and attitudes to sexuality is marked. Further, traits such as Openness and Conscientiousness were demonstrated to have significant links with attitudes to sexuality.
