Classroom Seating

This study examined the relationship between classroom seating location and student's personality characteristics. 110 women and 172 men were shown a diagram which divided a traditional classroom into front, middle, and back sections. They rated perceived personality characteristics of students seated in each section and described themselves using a semantic differential. Students in each section were perceived as having a unique set of personality characteristics. Furthermore, individuals preferred to sit in the section containing students who were perceived to have traits similar to their own. Both men and women tended to prefer the front two sections of the classroom; their preference was slightly stronger for women than for men. Women characterized the personality traits of students in each section differently from men. Women tended to view those in the front as leaders and as academically successful.

The Relationship

The goal of the study was to explore the relationship between personality characteristics and the development of resilience in the context of social work. To do this, combining the transverse and longitudinal approaches, we investigated 479 students and professional social workers. For students, the within-subject analysis shows that this group, while pursuing a university degree, are reaching greater openness, accountability, extraversion and kindness and, by contrast, are reducing their levels of neuroticism, which is the personality trait that acquires smaller presence on the professional stage. The regression results also confirmed the influence and predictive ability of personality traits on the resilience of students and social workers.

Abstract Although the connection between smoking and individual differences has been recently recognized, the relationship between narcissistic personality traits and cigarette smoking has received less attention. The notion that personality traits can be associated with addictive behavior is influential in clinical practice. However, questions remain about specific interactions between smoking and personality characteristics that need empirical support to substantiate this hypothesis. This study thus identifies narcissistic and impulsive personality traits as precursors of smoking in a sample of tattooed individuals. In a cross-sectional study (N = 120), personality traits were assessed in young women (aged 18-35 years) using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11). The current study, using the regression analysis, has clearly demonstrated that young women who smoke have different personality characteristics as compared with women who do not smoke.

BACKGROUND Mobile technology for health (mHealth) interventions are increasingly being used to help improve self-management among patients with diabetes; however, these interventions have not been adopted by a large number of patients and often have high dropout rates. Patient personality characteristics may play a critical role in app adoption and active utilization, but few studies have focused on addressing this question. OBJECTIVE This study aims to address a gap in understanding of the relationship between personality traits and mHealth treatment for patients with diabetes. We tested the role of the five-factor model of personality traits (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) in mHealth adoption preference and active utilization. METHODS We developed an mHealth app (DiaSocial) aimed to encourage diabetes self-management. We recruited 98 patients with diabetes—each patient freely chose whether to receive the standard care or the mHealth app intervention. Patient demographic information and patient personality characteristics were assessed at baseline. App usage data were collected to measure user utilization of the app. Patient health outcomes were assessed with lab measures of glycated hemoglobin (HbA<sub>1c</sub> level). Logistic regression models and linear regression were employed to explore factors predicting the relationship between mHealth use (adoption and active utilization) and changes in health outcome. RESULTS Of 98 study participants, 46 (47%) downloaded and used the app. Relatively younger patients with diabetes were 9% more likely to try and use the app (<i>P</i>=.02, odds ratio [OR] 0.91, 95% CI 0.85-0.98) than older patients with diabetes were. Extraversion was negatively associated with adoption of the mHealth app (<i>P</i>=.04, OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51-0.98), and openness to experience was positively associated with adoption of the app (<i>P</i>=.03, OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.07-2.80). Gender (<i>P</i>=.43, OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.23-1.88), education (senior: <i>P</i>=.99, OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.32-3.11; higher: <i>P</i>=.21, OR 2.51, 95% CI 0.59-10.66), and baseline HbA<sub>1c</sub> level (<i>P</i>=.36, OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.47-1.31) were not associated with app adoption. Among those who adopted the app, a low education level (senior versus primary <i>P</i>=.003; higher versus primary <i>P</i>=.03) and a high level of openness to experience (<i>P</i>=.048, OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.01-4.00) were associated with active app utilization. Active users showed a significantly greater decrease in HbA<sub>1c</sub> level than other users (ΔHbA<sub>1c</sub>=−0.64, <i>P</i>=.05). CONCLUSIONS This is one of the first studies to investigate how different personality traits influence the adoption and active utilization of an mHealth app among patients with diabetes. The research findings suggest that personality is a factor that should be considered when trying to identify patients who would benefit the most from apps for diabetes management.

Целью данного исследования было выявить возможные связи между эмоциональным интеллектом, интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью у женщин и мужчин в русскоязычной выборке. Показано, что у женщин с интернальностью положительно связаны такие переменные, как управление своими эмоциями , самоменеджмент , распознание эмоций других людей и интегративный показатель эмоционального интеллекта , а у мужчин только с самоменеджментом, при этом интегративный показатель эмоционального интеллекта имеет лишь тенденцию положительной связи с интернальностью. Установлено наличие положительной связи удовлетворенности жизнью мужчин и женщин с интегративным показателем эмоционального интеллекта и рядом его компонентов: эмоциональной осведомленностью , управлением собственными эмоциями , самоменеджментом и распознанием эмоций других людей . Полученные результаты в целом совпадают с общими выводами зарубежных исследователей о положительной связи эмоционального интеллекта с интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью, но при этом в данном исследовании: а) конкретизированы компоненты эмоционального интеллекта, за счет которых такие связи; б) установлены совпадения и различия в этих связях для мужчин и женщин. Интернальность женщин положительно и статистически значимо связана с удовлетворенностью жизнью. У мужчин связь между этими характеристиками личности отсутствует. Сопоставить эти результаты с выводами других исследователей невозможно ввиду того, что не удалось обнаружить работ о связи между интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью ни у русскоязычных, ни у зарубежных авторов. У женщин в среднем выше показатели эмпатии, распознания эмоций других людей и интегративного показателя эмоционального интеллекта. The purpose of this study was to identify possible links between emotional intelligence, internality, and life satisfaction in women and men in the Russian-speaking sample. It has been shown that in women, internality is positively associated with such variables as control of their emotions, self-management, recognition of the emotions of other people and the integrative indicator of emotional intelligence, and in men only with self-management, while the integrative indicator of emotional intelligence has only a positive tendency for internality. The presence of a positive relationship between satisfaction with the life of men and women with an integrative indicator of emotional intelligence and a number of its components: emotional awareness, control of one's own emotions, self-management and recognition of the emotions of other people was established. The results obtained generally coincide with the general conclusions of foreign researchers about a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and internality and life satisfaction, but at the same time in this study: a) the components of emotional intelligence, due to which such connections are made, are specified; b) the coincidences and differences in these connections for men and women were established. The internality of women is positively and statistically significantly associated with life satisfaction. In men, there is no connection between these personality characteristics. It is impossible to compare these results with the conclusions of other researchers due to the fact that it was not possible to find works on the relationship between internality and life satisfaction either in Russian-speaking or foreign authors. Women, on average, have higher scores for empathy, recognition of other people's emotions, and an integrative score for emotional intelligence.

Sixty-five men and fifty-one women took part in a study of attitudes toward feminism. The question of attitude similarity mediated error in perceived attractiveness was addressed, and the relationship between selected personal characteristics and attitudes toward feminism was assessed. Results confirmed that men and women view people with attitudes similar to their own as more attractive. Best predictors of negative attitudes towards feminism among men were conservativism and limited familiarity with feminist issues, whereas among women, trait-anxiety was the best predictor.

The Relationship

Alcohol consumption is known to have a disinhibiting effect and is associated with a higher likelihood of aggressive behavior, especially among men. People with certain personality traits maybe more likely to behave aggressively when intoxicated, and there may also be variation by gender. We aimed to investigate whether the reason why men and women with certain personality traits are more likely to engage in violence may be because of their alcohol use. The Big Five personality traits and anger-hostility, alcohol consumption, and violence were measured by questionnaire in 15,701 nationally representative participants in the United States. We tested the extent to which alcohol mediates the relationship between personality factors and violence in men and women. We found that agreeableness was inversely associated with violence in both genders. Alcohol mediated approximately 11% of the effect in males, but there was no evidence of an effect in females. Anger-hostility was associated with violence in both sexes, but alcohol mediated the effect only in males. We also found that Extraversion was associated with violence and alcohol use in males and females. Alcohol accounted for 15% of the effect of extraversion on violence in males and 29% in females. The mechanism by which personality traits relate to violence may be different in men and women. Agreeableness and anger-hostility underpin the relationship between alcohol and violence in men, but not in women. Reducing alcohol consumption in men with disagreeable and angry/hostile traits would have a small but significant effect in reducing violence, whereas in women, reducing alcohol consumption among the extraverted, would have a greater effect.

The goal of our research was to study the changes in physical attraction during the early stages of romantic relationships. The longitudinal study explored the personality characteristics of a partner and relationship events affecting physical attraction of early (within the first year) romantic relationships. Participants completed an eight-week longitudinal rating of their attraction toward their romantic partner. Factor analysis revealed behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and physiological dimensions. The behavioral and emotional dimensions play the largest role in attraction among both genders, with cognitive dimension also affecting attraction in women. Personality characteristics of one’s partner are significant predictors of physical attraction for both men and women. However, events occurring in the relationship seem to be only reliable predictors for a women’s attraction.

Narrative Description

This study examined differences between perceived personality characteristics of a trained interior designer and of an untrained interior decorator. Subjects were 256 students who read a narrative description of a designer or a decorator and rated her personality traits by using a semantic differential scale. Factor analysis of the 17 adjective pairs of the semantic differential scale generated 5 factors: Professional, Extroverted, Creative, Intuitive, and Scientific. Narrative descriptions of practitioners' training had no significant effects on any of the 5 factors, thereby supporting the hypothesis that there would be no differences perceived between the trained interior designer and the untrained interior decorator.
