The first Italian lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic constituted an example of strong situation. Under this context, we investigated associations HEXACO personality with mitigation behaviors (self-reported hygiene, distancing, going out).

Personality always explained variance over above demographics, COVID-related knowledge, concern, impacts,...
Introduction: Both variable- and person-centered approaches identify grandiose vulnerable themes in pathological narcissism (PN). However, results rely on cross-sectional data, preventing identification of subtypes individuals through transitory self-states. Methods: We perform a cluster analysis the joint trajectory daily ratings (GN) (VN), collected during 28-day experience sampling (N = 196 participants). Results: The best partition—identified by multiple criteria—includes three clusters:...
