The Impact

The current study was heading for determining the impact of Pakistani university students’ socioeconomic classes on their personality traits. Demographic and personality questionnaires were filled by available university students online. The stepwise regression technique facilitated to generate regression models to define impacts of different socioeconomic classes on students’ different personality traits. Different regression models highlighted the significant negative impacts of the middle upper socioeconomic class on Agreeableness, Extraversion and Neuroticism personality traits. The lower socioeconomic class was found to have positive impact on only one personality sub-trait self-discipline. Whereas, the upper lower socioeconomic class caused positive impacts on students’ trust sub-trait, Conscientiousness trait and negative impact on excitement seeking sub-trait of personality. The importance of these impacts of socioeconomic classes on different personality traits and the possible implications are discussed with respect to university students’ academic performance and academic behaviour.

The Relationship

"A central theme in the present study is the assumption that the influence on the human behavior is mediated by different internal processes in the career choice. Emotional intelligence is defined as a variable which is a cause for the relationship between personality traits and the choice of a certain career. Three causal paths to the dependent variable were tracked – a path to the direct impact of the emotional intelligence on the career choice, a path to the influence of personality traits on the emotional intelligence as well as a path to the impact of personality traits on the career choice via the emotional intelligence. The aim of the study is to show the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between personality traits and career choice. A total of 100 Bulgarian secondary and university students (42 males and 58 females), aged 17-40 years, were included in the research. The following measures were used for the purpose of the study - Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Short Form (TEIQue-SF), The Big five questionnaire and the Big six method for career choices. The Bulgarian version of the emotional intelligence questionnaire was translated and adapted for Bulgarian sociocultural context by Antonina Kardasheva (Kardasheva, 2012). The Big five questionnaire and the Big six method for career choices were adapted for Bulgarian conditions by S. Karabelyova (Karabelyova, 2015). The results showed that there was a direct positive impact of the emotional intelligence on the relationship between the enterprising type and conscientiousness, the artistic type and neuroticism and a negative impact on the relationship between the conventional type and extraversion. The conclusions derived from the study could be used for further psychological research in the field, as well as for enhancing the knowledge of one’s personality."

Purpose This paper examines the relation between the Big Five model of personality traits and behavioral biases (overconfidence, disposition effect, anchoring, representativeness, metal accounting, emotional bias and herding) of Indian individual investors when making investment decisions. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a structured questionnaire to obtain responses from 515 stock investors in India between August 2016 and January 2017. Based on components identified through factor analysis, the authors use structural equation modeling to examine the effect of specific personality traits. Findings The findings indicate a significant association between the traits of neuroticism, extroversion and conscientiousness as well as behavioral biases of individual investors. Openness has a significant relation with only mental accounting and the agreeableness trait has no relation with the behavioral biases examined. Research limitations/implications The findings imply that understanding investor personality differences and investment psychology can help financial advisors and wealth managers modify products and services to better suit client needs. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no previous study has examined the impact of the Big Five model of personality traits on various behavioral biases among Indian investors.

The Impact

This study investigates the impact of personality traits on intention to start an entrepreneurship. In order to examine personality traits, the big five model was used. The big five model consists of five dimensions: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience. Entrepreneurship consists of six dimensions: hardworking, risk-taking, self-confidence, creativity, flexibility, and tolerance of ambiguity. In order to collect data, a 47 items questionnaire was designed. Statistical population was university of Isfahan’s personnel, and sample size was 160 personnel and were selected based on the available sampling method. In order to analyse data,descriptive statistic, inferential statistics, ENTER method, and Durbin-Watson test has been used. To measure stability of questionnaires’ items, Cronbach's alpha was calculated for each variable separately. The results of this article indicate that personality traits have an impact on the tendency to entrepreneurship. Based on these results, between all personality traits, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience have impacts on the tendency to entrepreneurship and these factors could explain 0/533 of entrepreneurship regression. Durbin- Watson test results also indicate that there is no selfcorrelation between independent variables. Finally, empirical suggestions have been offered for human resources managers and related professionals.

Abstract.THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND PERSONALITY IN SECONDARY EDUCATION STUDENTSThe research focuses on the relationships between personality, from the Big Five model (Caprara, Barbaranelli & Borgogni, 1993), and Self-perceived Emotional Intelligence (IEA) in secondary education (ESO) students. The sample consisted of a total of 670 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 16 (M = 13.86; DT = 1232). The IEA agglutinates the models designated mixed: the Socio-emotional Competence (BarOn& Parker, 2000) valued by the EQ-i: YV; And Emotional Self-Efficacy (Petrides, Sangareau, Furnham& Frederickson, 2006) as measured by TEIQue-ASF. Personality traits were assessed using BFQ-NA (Spanish adaptation of Del Barrio, Carrasco &Holgado, 2006). Our results evidence the close relationship between Emotional Self-efficacy and personality traits of the Big Five model, in line with the construct theory that indicates that this type of emotional intelligence is composed of an array of emotional traits and abilities, Lower personality structure. Likewise, significant relationships between the Socio-Emotional Competence model and the features of the Big Five model are found.Keywords: Socio-emotional competence, personality, Self-perceived Emotional IntelligenceResumen.La investigación se centra en analizar las relaciones entre personalidad, desde el modelo Big Five (Caprara, Barbaranelli & Borgogni, 1993), y la Inteligencia Emocional Autopercibida (IEA) en alumnado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO). La muestra estuvo compuesta por un total de 670 adolescentes con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 16 años (M=13.86; DT=1.232). La IEA aglutina los modelos denominados mixtos: la Competencia Socioemocional (BarOn & Parker, 2000) valorada mediante el EQ-i:YV; y la Autoeficacia Emocional (Petrides, Sangareau, Furnham & Frederickson, 2006) medida con el TEIQue-ASF. Los rasgos de personalidad se evaluaron mediante BFQ-NA (adaptación española de Del Barrio, Carrasco & Holgado, 2006). Nuestros resultados evidencian la estrecha relación entre la Autoeficacia Emocional y los rasgos de personalidad del modelo de Cinco Grandes, en consonancia con la teoría del constructo que indica que este tipo inteligencia emocional se compone de una disposición de rasgos y habilidades emocionales, situadas en los niveles más bajos de la estructura de la personalidad. Asimismo, se constatan relaciones significativas entre el modelo de Competencia Socio-emocionaly los rasgos del modelo de los Cinco Grandes.Palabras clave: Competencia socio-emocional, personalidad, Inteligencia Emocional Autopercibida

The psychological implications of stress have become an issue of concern for university students around the world over the past decade. It is thought that the perception of stress varies depending on students' personality traits and their beliefs about being able to manage their academic life. To investigate this further, a study was conducted with a sample of 200 university students. The main findings of this study were: (1) All of the Big Five Model of personality traits significantly contribute to developing positive academic self-efficacy, with some of these being moderated by gender. Self-efficacy is characterised by agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, emotionally stability and openness to experience. (2) People with high academic self-efficacy are able to take advantage of eustress and manage distress better than people with low academic self-efficacy. (3) There are some personality traits that contribute to distress and eustress. Specifically, people who are introverted and have low emotional stability and low openness to experience tend to suffer from distress more than people who do not have these traits. In contrast, conscientious people tend to experience eustress more than people without these characteristics. All these traits were mediated by self-efficacy, and in some cases were moderated by gender.

Moderating Role

Research has demonstrated consistently that personality and perceived stress, independently, are essential factors for university adjustment among university freshmen; however, little is known about the associations between personality, perceived stress, and adjustment together. Our primary goal was to explore the predictive utility of perceived stress for explaining university adjustment among university freshmen ( N = 290). We also tested the moderating role of personality traits and this research was embedded within a Big Five model of personality including the sixth trait for Turkish context, ‘Negative Valence’. Results addressed that only conscientiousness and negative valence moderated the perceived stress and adjustment association. Students high on negative valence and/or conscientiousness tended to experience the detrimental effect of perceived stress on university adjustment more due to their personality. These results suggested that personality might be an important factor to include in adjustment fostering interventions for freshmen at universities.
