FELICIDAD SUBJETIVA, SENTIDO DEL HUMOR Y PERSONALIDAD EN LA DOCENCIA

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

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.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between social skills and happiness in 1st-year Teaching School students, as well as possible gender differences. The sample comprised 243 Teaching School students (Primary Education) in Zaragoza, including 110 men (45.27%) and 133 women (54.73%), aged 18–25 (average age 20.23 years; s.d. = 1.586). In order to analyse the relationship between social skills and subjective happiness, the Scale of Social Skills and Subjective Happiness Scale were used. While men scored higher in all social skills-related factors, women scored higher in all factors related to happiness. The study shows that factors such as self-expression in social settings and the ability to say no and cut off social interactions have a direct and significant effect on happiness among men, while self-expression in social settings and the ability to express anger led to a higher perception of happiness among women. Similarly, situations such as asking for and defending rights have an indirect and significant effect in men, reducing their levels of happiness. In the case of women, no social skills factors were found that led to lower happiness. It may be concluded that significant gender differences exist, although broader and lateral studies are needed in order to examine the relationship between gender identities, social skills and subjective happiness more in depth, and thus, understand the effect of these constructs in the development of personality.

Political Conservatism ◽

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.

Abstract This study is an attempt to address the issue of examining the relationship between burnout and personality among translation students. Recent trends in student/academic burnout have led to a proliferation of studies which have heightened the need for the exploration of this construct that is well-grounded in personality influences. Despite increasing concern over these two concepts, no report has been found so far surveying their association within the translation discipline. To this end, 73 Iranian translation students completed a 33-item student translator burnout scale and the 44-item Big Five Inventory of Personality. This was also accomplished by building a causal structural model through which the associations among these constructs were estimated. The results demonstrated that the proposed model has a good overall fit with the empirical data. Findings further provide evidence that there are significant correlations between agreeableness, neuroticism, and burnout.

The Relationship

Objectives. This study examined the relationship between acceptable noise level (ANL) and personality. ANL is the difference between a person’s most comfortable level for speech and the loudest level of background noise they are willing to accept while listening to speech. Design. Forty young adults with normal hearing participated. ANLs were measured and two personality tests (Big Five Inventory, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) were administered. Results. The analysis revealed a correlation between ANL and the openness and conscientious personality dimensions from the Big Five Inventory; no correlation emerged between ANL and the Myers-Briggs personality types. Conclusions. Lower ANLs are correlated with full-time hearing aid use and the openness personality dimension; higher ANLs are correlated with part-time or hearing aid nonuse and the conscientious personality dimension. Current data suggest that those more open to new experiences may accept more noise and possibly be good hearing aid candidates, while those more conscientious may accept less noise and reject hearing aids, based on their unwillingness to accept background noise. Knowing something about a person’s personality type may help audiologists determine if their patients will likely be good candidates for hearing aids.
