Media richness, the degree to which a specific media transmits information in multiple channels, is an important concept as the number of available multimedia communication methods increases regularly. Individuals differ in their preferences for media richness which may influence their choice of a communication multimedia in a given situation. These preferences can influence how successful their communication efforts will be. This exploratory study of 299 adults (ages 16-84) with at least a basic ability to computing examines the relationship between multimedia preference and age, gender, and personality traits. Males and people with higher levels of extraversion and agreeableness were found to have a higher preference for media richness. Age was not a significant predictor of media richness preference.

The Way

Separate research lines have shown that the way we process spatial information is influenced by individual factors, such as personality traits and basic spatial abilities. Alongside, recent studies suggest that environmental landmarks can be represented differently depending on their emotional content. However, to our knowledge, no study has addressed so far the issue of whether there is a relationship between individual factors and the way we represent and use spatial information that conveys emotional content. Therefore, this exploratory study aimed to (i) investigate the relationship between personality traits and the use of spatial strategies in relation to emotional stimuli; (ii) investigate if a different pattern emerges according to a body- or object-based spatial encodings. After watching movies of routes characterized by positive, negative, or neutral landmarks, participants performed a “route continuation” (RC, i.e., left/right decision) and a “distance comparison” task (DC, i.e., what was the landmark closest to X?). Furthermore, participants performed a mental rotation task (MR), the Corsi block tapping (CBT), and the Bergen right-left discrimination tests (B-RL). Personality traits were assessed through the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Results showed that a better performance at the RC task was associated with higher scores at CBT tasks in the positive condition and at B-RL test and agreeableness scale from TIPI in both positive and neutral conditions. Instead, the MR task positively correlated with the DC task in all conditions. In sum, individuals’ spatial abilities, personality traits, and task requests influenced the way emotionally laden landmarks were memorized.

Content filters empower users to make choices about what can be downloaded from the World Wide Web. At home, parents can restrict what their children can and cannot see on the Internet. This can protect the young web surfers from unpleasant experiences. These tools allow the parents to understand electronic content by means of open and objective content labels. Web surfers may be unwittingly exposed to suggestive and explicit content. Many organizations across the globe, such as ICRA and GBDe, are working on content rating systems and software filters for the Internet. Generally, simple filters are bundled with common browsers. People are not motivated to buy commercial filters with more functionality. Also, there are few studies investigating a consumer's willingness and intention to adopt these tools. This paper presents an exploratory study of the acceptance of Internet content filters in publicly accessed computers. The relationship between demographic factors, such as gender and age, and perception factors, such as severity of Internet problems, are examined. Results show that the acceptance of blocking filters is significantly related to demographic factors and perceptions of the Internet. We discuss implications of the findings, from both the academic and applied perceptive.

This research aims to identify the impact of the moral intelligence of the worker in its dimensions (sympathy, conscience, self-censorship) in enhancing the organizational prowess in its dimensions represented by (exploring opportunities, exploiting opportunities, flexibility at work) in the Kufa cement factory, as the research problem lies in the extent of interest. In addition to the relationship between them, the importance of research is highlighted in diagnosing the impact of moral intelligence of the worker in its dimensions in enhancing organizational skill in its dimensions, and in order to achieve the goal of the research, a sample of workers in the Kufa cement plant was selected and the researcher relied on the questionnaire as a tool to collect the necessary data and in order to complete the research and achieve the objectives it seeks, (144) questionnaires were distributed, the researcher obtained (140) a questionnaire valid for statistical analysis, and the research included two hypotheses, the statistical program (SPSS v. 23) was used, and the research reached a set of conclusions. The ingenuity generally represents the extent of control and effectiveness of smart organizations in their development process in order to reach advanced ranks of advancement and progress, with a basic ability that requires exploration and exploitation of available opportunities and work to reduce difficulties, threats and disposal Ones at work.

The Relationship

Abstract.Narcissism is seen as a multidimensional construct that consists of two manifestations: grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. In order to define these two manifestations, their relationship to personality factors has increasingly become of interest. However, so far no studies have considered the relationship between different phenotypes of narcissism and personality factors in adolescents. Method: In a cross-sectional study, we examine a group of adolescents (n = 98; average age 16.77 years; 23.5 % female) with regard to the relationship between Big Five personality factors and pathological narcissism using self-report instruments. This group is compared to a group of young adults (n = 38; average age 19.69 years; 25.6 % female). Results: Grandiose narcissism is primarily related to low Agreeableness and Extraversion, vulnerable narcissism to Neuroticism. We do not find differences between adolescents and young adults concerning the relationship between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism and personality traits. Discussion: Vulnerable and grandiose narcissism can be well differentiated in adolescents, and the pattern does not show substantial differences compared to young adults.

The Relationship

Abstract. This study examines the relationship between students' personality and intelligence scores with their preferences for the personality profile of their lecturers. Student ratings (N = 136) of 30 lecturer trait characteristics were coded into an internally reliable Big Five taxonomy ( Costa & McCrae, 1992 ). Descriptive statistics showed that, overall, students tended to prefer conscientious, open, and stable lecturers, though correlations revealed that these preferences were largely a function of students' own personality traits. Thus, open students preferred open lecturers, while agreeable students preferred agreeable lecturers. There was evidence of a similarity effect for both Agreeableness and Openness. In addition, less intelligent students were more likely to prefer agreeable lecturers than their more intelligent counterparts were. A series of regressions showed that individual differences are particularly good predictors of preferences for agreeable lecturers, and modest, albeit significant, predictors of preferences for open and neurotic lecturers. Educational and vocational implications are considered.
