The Relationship

AbstractThe authors examined the relationship between personality and attitudes toward the treatment of animals by administering the Sixteen Personality Factor Inventory and the Animal Attitudes Scale to 99 college students. The personality scales were only weakly related to attitudes about animal welfare issues. Two personality factors, sensitivity and imaginativeness, were significantly correlated with attitudes towards animals. Gender and sensitivity explained 25% of the variance in attitudes, with most of the variance accounted for by gender.

Discriminant Function Analyses

Using Cattell's personality factor test (16 PF) and a questionnaire on sexual function, the relationship between personality factors and sexual dysfunction was examined in college students. Fifteen males having indices of high dysfunction exhibited lack of control, high tension, and anxiety. 21 females having indices of high dysfunction displayed ego weakness, shyness, and high tension. Discriminant function analyses of personality test scores were at or over the 86% level in the assignment of subjects to groups of low and high dysfunction.

The Relationship

The relationship between some personality factors and accident risk. The aim of this research was to study the relationship between personality and accident-risk driving behaviour in order to make recommendations for the selection of professional drivers. A test battery comprising a biographical and an opinion questionnaire, the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, the Picture Situation Test, an attitude scale to measure aggression and an information-processing test was administered to 199 coloured bus drivers. The test group was divided into three subgroups according to involvement in and degree of seriousness of the accidents. By means of step-wise multiple regression analyses a formula was developed according to which accident risk could be predicted on the basis of certain personality traits. These traits, when combined with an aggressive attitude in a road safety situation, were dominance, carefreeness, emotional sensitivity and shrewdness.

Common Environmental Factor

The relationship between self-report abilities and personality was examined at both the phenotypic (zero-order) level as well as at the genetic and environmental levels. Twins and siblings (N = 516) completed self-report ability and personality questionnaires. A factor analysis of the ability questions revealed 10 factors, including politics, interpersonal relationships, practical tasks, intellectual pursuits, academic skills, entrepreneur/business, domestic skills, vocal abilities, and creativity. Five personality factors were examined, including extraversion, conscientiousness, dependence, aggression, and openness. At the phenotypic level, the correlations between the ability factor scores and personality factor scores ranged from 0 to .60 (between political abilities and extraversion). The relationship between the two areas at the genetic level was found to range between –.01 and .60; the environmental correlations ranged from –.01 to .48. The results suggest that some of the self-report ability scores are related to self-report personality, and that some of these observed relationships may have a common genetic basis while others are from a common environmental factor.

The Impact

Communication represents an essential skill in nurse managers’ performance of everyday activities to ensure a good coordination of the team, since it focuses on the transmission of information in an understandable way. At the same time, anxiety is an emotion that can be caused by demanding and stressful work environments, such as those of nurse managers. The aim of the present study was to analyze the impact of anxiety management on nurse managers’ communication skills. The sample comprised 90 nursing supervisors from hospitals in Madrid, Spain; 77.8% were women, and 22.2% were men, with an average of 10.9 years of experience as nursing supervisors. The instruments used for analysis were the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire: version five (16PF5) and State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaires, validated for the Spanish population. The results showed that emotional stability was negatively affected by anxiety (r = −0.43; p = 0.001), while apprehension was positively affected (r = 0.382; p = 0.000). Nursing supervisors, as managers, were found to possess a series of personality factors and skills to manage stress and communication situations that prevent them from being influenced by social pressure and the opinion of others.

The Relationship

Many researchers agree that virtue is an important psychological concept in contemporary psychology. The main purpose in this study was to investigate the relationship between virtues and the personality traits of college students in mainland China. Participants (N = 426) completed the Chinese Virtue Adjectives Rating Scale (CVARS; Mu, 2007) and the Chinese 16PF (Zhu & Dai, 1988). The results indicated that the 16 personality factors most closely related to the virtue factors were emotional stability, dominance, liveliness, rule-consciousness, social boldness, sensitivity, vigilance, abstractedness, apprehension, self-reliance, perfectionism, and tension. Second-order factors of the 16PF most strongly related to the virtue factors were anxiety, extraversion, tough-mindedness, and independence.

Absenteeism: A study of truck drivers. The aim of the study was to explore reasons for absenteeism as experienced by code 11 truck drivers. Two groups were identified: one group high, and the other group low on an absenteeism continuum. Significant differences between the groups ocurred with respect to four of the sixteen personality factors of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. However, no significant difference in their personal values and intellectual ability could be found. Opsomming Die doel van die studie was die identifisering van aanduiders van werkafwesigheid by kode 11 vragmotorbestuurders. Die bevinding van hierdie studie is dat daar beduidende verskille tussen werkafwesige en werkaanwesige vragmotorbestuurders ten opsigte van vier van die sestien persoonlikheidsfaktore van die Sestien Persoonlik- heidsfaktorvraelys bestaan. Daar blyk egter geen beduidende verskille betreffende hulle persoonlike waardes en intellektuele vermoens te wees nie.

The purpose of this study was to determine variables that predict whether an occupational therapist will choose an administrative role or a clinical role within the profession. It is hoped that the results will be useful to those educators whose job is to recruit potential occupational therapy administrators. Variables were measured with Catell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (Catell, Eber, & Tatsuoka, 1982); the Rokeach Values Survey (Rokeach, 1968); nine semantic differential items measuring fear of success, fear of failure, identification with mother or father, and self-concept; and a demographic survey. The therapist's age and educational degree, and the values of lovingness, capability, mature love, inner harmony, and a sense of accomplishment were major correlates of role choice. The roles the respondents had actually chosen were predicted with 67% accuracy. Age, educational degree, male mentoring in administration, the specialty of physical disabilities, and the values of capability, a sense of accomplishment, freedom, and ambition were predictors of the administrative role. Age, degree, and the values of lovingness, helpfulness, mature love, and inner harmony were predictors of the clinical role The personality factors fear of success or fear of failure, identification with mother or father, and self-concept did not contribute to the respondents' choice of occupational role.

The goal of this study is to assess the construct validity of a preemployment test of honesty, the Phase II Profile, in relation to the personality traits measured by the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Of the four predetermined criteria, only the relationship to emotional stability was significant. Two of the 12 relationships expected to be nonsignificant were significant. The correlations obtained in this study and in two others were so low that the construct validity for the tests of honesty in relation to the chosen personality traits could not be confirmed.

Factor structure of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (Fifth Edition) was investigated from the perspective of the five-factor model, using Goldberg's 1992 scales for five factors of personality and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory scales as markers for the five major personality factors. The three inventories were completed by 96 male and 92 female undergraduates. Results provided strong support for the generality and comprehensiveness of the five-factor model.
