Užsienyje yra atlikta nemažai tyrimų, rodančių, kad dėl didėjančių reikalavimų mokykloje ir naujai atsiradusių socialinių interesų, taip pat biologinių pokyčių paaugliai miega nepakankamai ilgai ir kokybiškai. Dėl to nukenčia jų pažangumas mokykloje, didėja psichoaktyvių medžiagų naudojimo rizika ir kita. Užsienyje šia kryptimi atlikta nemažai tyrimų, vis dėlto nedaug yra tyrinėtas miego kokybės ryšys su tyrimų, vertinančių, kaip asmenybės bruožai gali būti susiję su miego kokybe, per miegui nepalankų elgesį, rasti pavyko nedaug, o paauglių tokių tyrimų neradome. Taigi, siekdami įvertinti Lietuvos paauglių miego kokybės rodiklius, asmenybės bruožų ir miego kokybės sąsajas bei kaip asmenybės bruožai yra susiję su įvairia sveikatai nepalankia elgsena, kuri savo ruožtu gali turėti didelę įtaką ir miego kokybei, apklausėme 88 vaikinus ir 124 merginas (amžiaus vidurkis 17,7 metų) iš dviejų Kauno mokyklų. Tyrimui buvo sudarytas klausimynas, skirtas įvertinti įvairius miego kokybės aspektus ir miegui nepalankų elgesį. Asmenybės bruožams tirti buvo naudotas NEO PI-R klausimynas. Rezultatai parodė, kad vaikinų ir merginų neurotizmo bruožas yra susijęs su didesniais sunkumais užmigti ir mažesniu pasitenkinimu nakties poilsiu, kad ir koks būtų elgesys, susijęs su miego kokybe. Merginų grupėje atvirumo patyrimui bruožas yra susijęs su mieguistumu dieną, o ekstraversija ir mažesnis sutariamumas yra susiję su sunkumais užmigti. Ši sąsaja yra veikiama dažnesnio psichoaktyvių medžiagų vartojimo. Vaikinų sąmoningumo bruožas yra susijęs su dažnesniu miegojimu dieną. Ši sąsaja yra veikiama dažnesnio sportavimo. Užsiėmimas atpalaiduojančia veikla prieš miegą merginų grupėje yra susijęs su atvirumo patyrimui ir sąmoningumo bruožais bei su didesniais sunkumais užmigti ir miegojimu dieną. Vaikinų ekstravesija, atvirumas patyrimui ir sutariamumas su miego kokybe bei su miego kokybe susijusiu elgesiu nėra susiję.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: miego kokybė, su miego kokybe susijęs elgesys, paaugliai, asmenybės bruožai, penkių faktorių modelis.The Relationship among Sleep Quality, Sleep-related Behaviour and Personality Traits in Older SchoolchildrenRimantas Vosylis, Aidas Perminas, Rita Žukauskienė SummaryObjectives. Adolescence is a period of various physical, cognitive activities, emotional and social alterations, which need additional bodily resources and naturally good and sufficient sleep for renewing these resources. However, increased requirements in school, new social interests, biological alterations make adolescents’ sleep not sufficiently long and qualitative enough, so achievements at school and the quality of life generally suffer. There are a lot of researches on this topic in foreign countries, but we couldn’t find any in Lithuania. Little research, both in Lithuania and abroad, has been done on personality and sleep quality relations in adolescence and on how personality traits can be related to sleep quality, how this relation can be affected by sleep-related behaviour.Purpose. To evaluate the relationship of personality features to sleep quality and sleep-related behaviour in older schoolchildren. The research involved 88 boys and 124 girls from two Kaunas schools. Methods. A questionnaire was prepared to evaluatesleep quality. It contained 31 questions concerning various sleep quality aspects. Four indices (troubles in falling asleep, night rest satisfaction, daytime fatigue, habit to sleep in the daytime) were selected after a factor analysis. Additionally, 12 questions concerning sleep-related behaviour were asked, from which four indices (use of psychoactive substances, sport, PC games and watching TV, relaxation activity before sleep) were constructed after factor analysis and used in this study. The NEO PI-R questionnaire was used to measure personality traits.Results. In boys and girls, neuroticism is related with the difficulties of falling asleep and less satisfaction with night’s rest independently of sleep-related behaviour. Girls’ openness to experience is related to daytime fatigue, and their extraversion andsmaller agreeableness are related with difficulties of falling asleep, but this association is affected by the use of psychoactive substances. Boys’ conscientiousness is related to daytime sleeping, but this relation is affected by engaging in sport activities. Girls’ engagement in the activities that help relax before sleep is related to their higher conscientiousness, higher agreeableness, more frequent difficulties with falling asleep and daytime sleeping. Boys’ extraversion, openness, agreeableness and sleep quality are not related to each other.Keywords: sleep quality, sleep quality-related behaviour, adolescents, personality traits, five-factor model.

Objective: A growing research literature has focused on what have been termed “dark” personality traits/constructs. More recently, the “dark factor” of personality has been proposed as a unifying framework for this research (Moshagen et al., 2018). To date, little work has rigorously investigated whether the traits/constructs investigated in the context of the dark factor can be captured by existing models of normative personality, namely Agreeableness from the Five-factor Model. Thus, the “dark factor” may be an instance of the “jangle” fallacy, where two constructs with different names are in fact the same construct. Method: We used a preregistered approach that made use of bass-ackwards factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and nomological network analysis to investigate the distinction between the D factor and Agreeableness. Results: Agreeableness and the D factor were similar in their coverage of antagonistic personality content, strongly negatively related (latent r = -.90), and showed near perfect profile dissimilarity (rICC = -.99). Conclusion: The results suggested that the D factor can be understood as the opposite pole of Agreeableness (i.e., antagonism) and not as a distinct construct. We discuss the implications for researchers interested in continuing to advance the study of antagonistic personality traits.

This article discusses the ‘Scale for the Assessment of Adjustment to Diversity (SAAD)’.The scale measures the individual’s adjustment levels to diverse situations. Adjusting to diverse situations requires extra efforts by individuals, sometimes these efforts fall short and the situation remains invincible. We assumed that there are personality traits (BITPC)1 responsible for success or failure in the adjustment to diverse situations. This five-factor model was evaluated in five diverse (SOGER)2 situations. A CFA, run on the results obtained from 444 (n) individuals, reveals a not converging five-factor model. However, after running CFA – (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) for all possible permutations the BIP – (Broadmindedness, Insight, and Patience), a 3 factor model was found to be the best fit on cutoff points when two top ranked situations were taken into consideration.

Personality Inventory For Children

Penkių faktorių modelis yra plačiai taikomas tiriant vaikų ir paauglių asmenybės bruožus skirtingais amžiaus tarpsniais: nuo ankstyvosios vaikystės iki vėlyvosios paauglystės. Įvairiais tyrimais įrodyta, kad Penkių faktorių modelis yra tinkamas aprašyti vaiko asmenybę. Šiuo tyrimu buvo siekiama įvertinti kai kuriuos lietuviškosios Hierarchinio vaiko asmenybės aprašo versijos (HiPIC, Mervielde and De Fruyt, 1999) psichometrinius rodiklius. HiPIC yra skirtas įvertinti 6–12 metų vaikų asmenybės dimensijoms remiantis Penkių faktorių modeliu. Tyrimą sudarė trys etapai, kuriuose dalyvavo 1 081 tėvai, auginantys 7–11 metų vaikus. Visų etapų metu buvo gauti duomenys apie 739 vaikų asmenybės bruožus, kuriuos apibūdino abu arba vienas tėvų. HiPIC aukštesniojo lygmens bruožų skalių vidinis teiginių suderintumas svyravo nuo 0,806 iki 0,909, o žemesniojo lygmens bruožų subskalių vidinis teiginių suderintumas buvo nuo 0,574 iki 0,873. Faktorinė subskalių analizė atskleidė, kad aiškesnė yra keturių, o ne penkių faktorių struktūra, kurioje išryškėjo sąmoningumo ir vaizduotės dimensijų subskalių junginys, sudarantis vieną, o ne du atskirus faktorius. Rezultatų analizė atskleidė, kad lietuviškoji HiPIC versija yra patikima, konstrukto validumas keturių faktorių modeliui yra pakankamai geras, taigi šis aprašas gali būti naudojamas atliekant mokslinius tyrimus.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: vaikų asmenybės bruožai, Penkių faktorių modelis, HiPIC, psichometrinės charakteristikos.PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE LITHUANIAN VERSION OF THE HIERARCHICAL PERSONALITY INVENTORY FOR CHILDREN (HiPIC)Izabelė Grauslienė, Rasa Barkauskienė SummaryThe Five-factor Model (FFM) is currently the most common dimensional approach to personality traits. Research of children’s personality traits is a new challenge for scientists, which motivates to step into an almost unknown area. These investigations were encouraged by the success of the Five-factor Model research on adults: scientists quite intensively started going deeper into the research of children’s personality traits starting from early childhood till late adolescence. The present study was designed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Lithuanian version of the Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC, Mervielde and De Fruyt, 1999). The HiPIC is an instrument to assess the five dimensions of the five-factor model for children between 6 and 12 years. The HiPIC measures 18 facets grouped into five dimensions: Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Benevolence, Emotional Stability, and Imagination (Mervielde and De Fruyt, 1999). This inventory, contrary to the NEO PI-R, was developed using a bottom-up strategy (Mervielde and De Fruyt, 2002).The present research included three phases. A parent rating was obtained for 739 children all aged between 7 and 11. Some children were rated by their both parents, some by mother or farther; 1081 parents filled the questionnaires. The HiPIC was distributed in the classroom by the researchers to the children who had to bring the questionnaire to their parents. All 144 HiPIC items were translated and retranslated into Lithuanian by professional translators with the author of the inventory supervision during all three phases of the research.The facets’ internal consistency was estimated by the Cronbach alpha coefficient. At the domain level, the internal consistency ranged from 0.808 to 0.909, and at the facet level the internal consistency ranged within 0.574–0.873. In order to assess the construct validity, we conducted a principal componentexploratory factor analysis with the varimax rotation of the 18 facet scales. In order to compare the factorial structure with the theoretical structure of the inventory, first we chose to extract five factors, but the further factor analysis showed that the Lithuanian HiPIC version had more arguments for a four-factor structure with a blend of the Conscientiousness and Imagination domains and explaining 71.93% of variance.The Lithuanian version of the HiPIC is reliable, although construct validity indicators had some weakness. The internal consistencies are satisfactory and similar to those found with the original Flemish version and the French version. As a conclusion, the Lithuanian HiPIC version can be used in scientific research in assessing children’s personality traits.This research was funded by a grant (No. MIP-016/2012) from the Research Council of Lithuania.Key words: children’s personality traits, the Five Factor Model, HiPIC, psychometric properties.

Abstract Quantitative models of psychopathology (i.e., HiTOP) propose that personality and psychopathology are intertwined, such that the various processes that characterize personality traits may be useful in describing and predicting manifestations of psychopathology. In the current study, we used data from the Human Connectome Project (N = 1050) to investigate neural activation following receipt of a reward during an fMRI task as one shared mechanism that may be related to the personality trait Extraversion (specifically its sub-component Agentic Extraversion) and internalizing psychopathology. We also conducted exploratory analyses on the links between neural activation following reward receipt and the other Five-Factor Model personality traits, as well as separate analyses by gender. No significant relations (p < .005) were observed between any personality trait or index of psychopathology and neural activation following reward receipt, and most effect sizes were null to very small in nature (i.e., r < |.05|). We conclude by discussing the appropriate interpretation of these null findings, and provide suggestions for future research that spans psychological and neurobiological levels of analysis.

Triarchic Model

Structural models of personality traits, particularly the five-factor model (FFM), continue to inform ongoing debates regarding what personality attributes and trait domains are central to psychopathy. A growing body of literature has linked the constructs of the triarchic model of psychopathy (boldness, meanness, disinhibition) to the FFM. Recently, researchers developed both item and regression-based measures of the triarchic model of psychopathy using the NEO Personality Inventory–Revised—a popular measure of the FFM. The current study examines the correlates of these two FFM-derived operationalizations of the triarchic model using data from the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study. The two approaches had strong convergent validity coefficients and similar patterns of criterion-related validity coefficients. Meanness related to greater personality pathology characterized by exploitation of others and poor attachment, whereas disinhibition related to indicators of greater negative affect and poor behavioral constraint. Boldness related to reduced negative affect and greater narcissistic personality traits. Although the item and regression-based approaches showed similar patterns of associations with criterion-variables, the item-based approach has some practical and psychometric advantages over the regression-based approach given strong correlations between the meanness and disinhibition scores from the regression approach.

Psychometric Quality

The aim of the present study was to examine the Body Image Satisfaction Questionnaire (BISQ) as a multidimensional instrument, designed to measure individuals’ body image satisfaction. A sample of 790 Portuguese healthy adults (female = 399; male = 391) aged 18 and 49 years old (M = 28.61, SD = 7.97) completed the BISQ. Exploratory factor analysis of the BISQ provided initial psychometric validity for a five-factor model assessing five dimensions of body image, namely, face, upper torso, lower torso, lower body, and overall body appearance. Confirmatory factor analysis supported this five-correlated model, in which a bifactor model provided the best fit to the data, defining a body image satisfaction factor and five specific factors. The BISQ clearly distinguished between various dimensions of body image satisfaction and showed satisfactory psychometric quality through factor analyses. This measure may have a broad application for research and practice, as a tool for capturing individual body image satisfaction.

Abstract Our article presents work on the development and validation of Influence Regulation and Deinfluentization Scale (DEI-beh). Reviewing concepts regarding its influence constitutes an introduction to the original deinfluentization concept coined by Barbara Kożusznik. The author’s theory has provided the basis for creating a diagnostic tool. The elaborated DEI-beh method consists in evaluating conditions which determine managerial effectiveness and shape reciprocal influences among team members. Our article describes this tool’s creation and its validation procedure. Positive relationships between DEI-beh’s individual dimensions and temperament characteristics, defined in Pavlov’s concept (1952), and selected personality traits, proposed in the Five-Factor Model Personality by Costa and McCrae (1992), confirm the tool’s external validity.

Comprehensive Test

Previous studies based on a variety of behaviour, temperament, and personality measures identified a pattern of over‐activity, impulsiveness, emotional instability, and aggressiveness in children who are prone to accidents. The present study is the first to study accident‐prone children by means of a comprehensive test for the assessment of the Five Factor model (Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC) (Mervielde & De Fruyt, 1999). 118 children, aged 6–15 years, who were hospitalized due to an accident‐related injury, were contrasted with 184 school‐children of the same age. Lower socio‐economic status was under‐represented in both groups. Children who were exposed to accidents had higher scores on the facets of energy, optimism, and non‐shyness (Extraversion domain), and lower scores on the facets of concentration and achievement striving (Conscientiousness domain). There was no indication of higher aggressiveness, impulsiveness, or emotional instability in the group exposed to accidents, and there were no gender‐by‐accident interactions. Results suggest that there is a relatively benign pattern of personality traits that is related to greater accident hazard in children. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between self-perceived emotional intelligence (EI) measured by the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) [1] and other personality measures including the five-factor-model. The EI construct has lately been re-defined as the ability to think intelligently about emotions and to use them to enhance intelligent thinking [2]. Two studies provide support that self-reported EI is mainly associated with personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, self-perceived creativity), life satisfaction and thinking styles with only a low relation to verbal intelligence. Furthermore, persons higher in the EI dimension “emotional efficacy” produced more creative performances than persons low in this domain. These findings suggest that self-reported EI cannot be considered as a rational form of intelligence so that it does qualify to fit into the framework of personality traits.
