The influence of genetic factors on personality has been actively studied for several decades. This pilot study analyzed data from a <b>large-scale survey</b> (N = 3,750) using a combination of traditional statistical techniques and <b>artificial intelligence (AI)</b> to examine the relationship between ABO blood type and personality. The results showed that respondents exhibited the personality traits corresponding to their own blood type more strongly than respondents who had different blood types did. This finding was consistent across all 8 traits, and all differences were statistically significant. In our survey, the same differences in scores were found in the groups who were less interested in the relationship between blood type and personality, although the values were smaller. A group of 1,067 participants with better knowledge of blood type personality, AI predicted blood type in 43.6% of the participants. In the case of entire 3,750 participants, it did 40.4%. If gender, age, and marital status were excluded, these rates decreased to 42.3% and 39.3% respectively; all these values were more than by chance. We observed a <b>clear and significant relationship</b> between blood type and personality in a large-scale survey. Meanwhile, the effect of the blood type is not always coherent, therefore consistent results cannot be obtained unless <b>non-linear interactions</b> with other factors and <b>individual differences in personality sensitivity</b> are considered. The results of conventional personality tests were also discussed.

The Relationship

In Asian countries, e.g., Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan, many studies on the relationship between ABO blood type and personality have been conducted. Recently, it has been estimated that more than half of Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese people feel that this relationship is legitimate. Therefore, when data from these countries are used in personality tests, it is theoretically difficult to eliminate the effects of the “contamination of knowledge,” even if differences are found. To avoid this issue, this study examined the linkage between ABO blood type and occupations in Japan. The results showed that personality traits corresponding to blood type appeared in the data of each of the three groups of politicians and athletes, and all differences were statistically significant. We observed a clear and significant relationship between blood type and personality. Additionally, it is also necessary to consider the influence of social background.

Abstract Background: Endometrial carcinoma is one of the three major malignant tumors in gynecology. ABO blood type is associated with the prognosis of a variety of malignancies. This study assessed the relationship between ABO blood type and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the relationship between ABO blood type and endometrial carcinoma prognosis in patients with primary endometrial carcinoma who underwent surgery from Shengjing Hospital affiliated to China Medical University from January 2012 to February 2017. Univariate analysis, multivariate analysis, and stratified analysis were performed.Results: In the multivariate analysis, 2009 FIGO stage (HR=2.806, 95% CI=1.289, 6.109), Pathological tissue type (HR=0.199, 95% CI=0.079, 0.503) was an independent and important risk factor for OS. We divided the ABO blood type into A and non-A groups, B and non-B groups, O and non-O groups, AB and non-AB groups, and failed to measure the significant results of OS. After we excluded 9 patients who had recurrence, metastasis, or death within 1 year of enrollment, the OS-significant results were similar to those described above.Conclusions: Our study suggest that there is no association between ABO blood type and EC prognosis, and additional cohort studies are needed for validation.

Strategic Conflict

In this article, the authors examine the relationship between organizational strategy and the approach taken to conflict management using a large-scale survey of companies in Wales, a constituent part of the United Kingdom. They focus on conflicts among employees, an under-researched form of conflict, to examine which types of organizations adopt a more strategic approach to conflict management that aligns with broader HR objectives. They find that organizations with a unitarist, and often anti-union, orientation are more likely to make strategic choices about how they address conflict. Equally, the authors argue that some evidence suggests that organizations that take high-road approaches to HR are more likely to take an intentional approach to how they address conflict.

News Use

While increasing scholarly attention has been devoted to news avoidance, there are only few studies taking the distinction between intentional and unintentional news avoidance into consideration, and none that has investigated the linkage between the two types of news avoidance and knowledge about politics and society. To fill this void, this study explores this relationship while distinguishing between knowledge related to uncontested issues and knowledge related to issues that have been subject to public controversies (climate change, vaccination, genetically modified organisms, crime, and immigration). Relying on a large-scale survey among Swedish citizens conducted in 2020 ( N = 2,160), we find that the relationship with patterns of news use is substantially different across these types of beliefs. Among other things, the results suggest that knowledge of uncontested issue domains is positively related to news use, but knowledge of contested issue domains is not. The intentional avoidance of news is only negatively related to knowledge of contested issues. Taken together, the results suggest that the mechanisms driving beliefs related to uncontested versus contested issues are substantially different.

AI can be applied in various ways to the measurement of personality in psychology. Measuring the impact of a single gene on personality can be handled by AI technologies, at least technically, i.e., using supervised learning models of machine learning. The ABO blood type is a relatively easy biological marker to examine; therefore, people in many countries know their type, and its impact on the relationship with personality has been the subject of a large amount of research. In this study, we selected the ABO blood type as the target gene, examined its association with personality, and cross-checked the results with previous works. Two scales were used to measure personality: a) blood type personality traits extracted from previous studies, and b) the TIPI-J, a simplified version of the Big Five personality test. In the former, the AI was able to predict the respondents’ blood types with a higher probability than chance, while in the latter, the accuracy was within the range of chance. These obtained results were also discussed.

When and why self-esteem drops down after an ostracism experience are worthy questions to answer in the field of ostracism. Considering the growing national pride in China, the current study investigates whether consumer ethnocentrism, a personality trait highly correlated with national pride in the consumer market, moderates the effects of ostracism on self-esteem through a large-scale survey (n = 1200). Confirmative factor analyses and moderation regression analyses are conducted to test the hypothesis. The results show that: 1. Consistent with previous studies, ostracism negatively correlates with self-esteem. 2. Consumer ethnocentrism positively moderates ostracism's effects on self-esteem, such that individuals with high consumer ethnocentrism have a significant drop in self-esteem after ostracism. Potential explanations of the moderating effect of consumer ethnocentrism, implications and limitations of the current study, and direction for further studies are discussed.

PurposeThe available literature demonstrates that green human resource management (GHRM) practices enhance the firm's green performance. However, the studies fail to show how GHRM practices give rise to green culture and how such green culture influences the green competitiveness of a firm. Anchored on the Ability Motivation Opportunity (AMO) theory, this study investigates how firms can build green competitive advantage from GHRM. The study focuses on four enablers of green culture (EGC): leadership emphasis, message credibility, peer involvement and employee empowerment. The study tests the mediating role of each EGC in the relationship between GHRM and green competitive advantage (GCA). The study findings provide managers with a deeper understanding of how GHRM supports the development of the EGC and how they explain the firm's GCA.Design/methodology/approachData was collected from a large-scale survey of Malaysia's manufacturing firm. We managed to collect 96 valid and useable questionnaires.FindingsWe find that GHRM practices give rise to EGC and the EGC mediate the relationship between GHRM and GCA.Originality/valueThe study presents the EGC in the green competitiveness context and goes further to test its mediating role in the GHRM–GCA relationship. We also develop a novel conceptual framework that manufacturing firms can deploy to attain green competitive advantage.
