In this target article, we argue that personality processes, structure, and development have to be understood investigated in integrated ways order provide comprehensive responses the key questions of psychology. The psychological processes mechanisms explain concrete behaviour situations should explanation for patterns variation across individuals, over time as well structures observed intra–individual inter–individual differences. Personality structures, defined covariation behaviour,...
Abstract In this article, we present an integrative perspective on temperament and personality development. Personality are conceptualized as regulatory systems that start physiological reactivity to environmental features early in life, but increasingly supplemented by regulation efforts oriented toward reference values such personal goals social norms. These change during development society expects mature behaviors, it takes resources incremental practice before people can conform these...
Public perceptions play a crucial role in wider adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs). This paper aims to make two contributions the understanding public attitudes toward AVs. First, we explore opinions regarding perceived benefits and challenges AVs among vulnerable road users – particular, pedestrians bicyclists. Second, evaluated whether interaction experiences with influence users. To this, examined survey data collected by Bike PGH, Pittsburgh based organization involved programs...
We examine the appropriateness of response speed and consistency as data quality indicators within online samples. Across several inventories, results show that decreases dramatically at rates faster than 1 second per item. Our suggest careless responding may be fairly common in samples often functions to increase expected correlation between items a survey, which has implications for likelihood false positives analysis factor structure. Given how can influence estimated associations...
We argue that it is useful to distinguish between three key goals of personality science—description, prediction and explanation—and attaining them often requires different priorities methodological approaches. put forward specific recommendations such as publishing findings with minimum a priori aggregation exploring the limits predictive models without being constrained by parsimony intuitiveness but instead maximizing out–of–sample accuracy. naturally occurring variance in many...
The personality trait of conscientiousness is an important predictor health and longevity. present research examined how conscientiousness, in combination with educational attainment health-related behaviours, predicted self-reported physical across adulthood. These relations were investigated two studies, one using a large, representative sample Illinois residents (N = 617) the other community multi-method assessment 274). Across both structural path analyses provided evidence for model...
People may hold different understandings of race that might affect how they respond to the culture groups deemed be racially distinct. The present research tests this process is moderated by minority individual's lay theory race. An essentialist (i.e., reflects deep-seated, inalterable essence and indicative traits ability) would orient racial minorities rigidly adhere their ethnic culture, whereas a social constructionist socially constructed, malleable, arbitrary) identify cognitively...
ABSTRACT A conceptual hierarchy termed the Personality and Role Identity Structural Model, or PRISM, is offered as a framework for incorporating situational information into trait models. PRISM assumes that personality structured hierarchically with general dispositions subsuming context‐specific (role identities), which, in turn, subsume role‐based thoughts, feelings, behaviors. At Wave 1 ( N =149), we found traits account commonalities across measured within role identities mediate...
Recently, researchers interested in personality development have begun to acknowledge the roles of motivation and self–regulation for why traits change across adulthood. We propose three preconditions under which individuals may their own levels a trait through self–directed efforts. Firstly, need desire changing trait–related behaviours either as an end itself or order achieve other goals. Secondly, they consider behavioural changes feasible be able implement desired changes. Thirdly,...
In 3 studies, we document various properties of perceiver effects--or how an individual generally tends to describe other people in a population. First, that effects have consistent relationships with dispositional characteristics the perceiver, ranging from self-reported personality traits and academic performance well-being measures disorders, liked person is by peers. Second, covariation among trait dimensions can be adequately captured single factor consisting positively others are seen...
Previous research has shown that traits from the domain of conscientiousness tend to increase with age. However, previous not tested whether all aspects change The present tests age differences in multiple facets (industriousness, orderliness, impulse control, reliability, and conventionality) using methods samples. In a community sample (N = 274) representative statewide 613) 18- 94-year-olds, self-reported industriousness, reliability showed early adulthood middle age, whereas orderliness...
Research on similarity constructs (e.g., dyadic similarity, personality stability, judgment agreement and accuracy) frequently find them to be associated with positive outcomes. However, a methodological pitfall common “overall similarity” indices, which we term the normative-desirability confound (NDC), will regularly result in apparently having more effects than they do reality. In essence, when an individual is estimated similar another person by this strongly indicate that has desirable...
Abstract. In pursuit of a more systematic and comprehensive framework for personality assessment, we introduce procedures assessing traits at the lowest level: nuances. We argue that constructing taxonomy from bottom up addresses some limitations extant top-down assessment frameworks (e.g., Big Five), including opportunity to resolve confusion about breadth scope different levels organization, evaluate unique reliable trait variance item level, clarify jingle/jangle issues in assessment....
Abstract We can make better decisions when we have a understanding of the different sources variance that impact job performance ratings. A failure to do so cannot only lead inaccurate conclusions interpreting ratings, but often misguided efforts aimed at improving our ability explain and predict them. In this paper, outline six recommendations relating interpretation predictive validity coefficients predicting The first three focus on need evaluate effectiveness selection instruments...
In this article the authors illustrate how revealed preferences (i.e., inferred through an individual's differential attraction to multiple targets) can be used investigate nature of mate preferences. The describe estimated and reliability these estimates established. Revealed preference were explore level consensus in judgments who is not attractive whether are systematically related self-reported personality traits. created for over 4,000 participants by examining their 98 photographs....
Abstract Using data from 3 personality trait inventories and 7 samples, we show that items have means near the scale midpoint vary more in their perceived desirability (e.g., related to dominance, creativity, traditionalism, organization) tend be stable over time, whereas with maximum or minimum less agreeableness, intellect, reliability) stable. Our findings indicate lower stabilities primarily due having measurement dependability (i.e., short‐term unlikely reflect true change). However,...
Many questions within the relationship literature are concerned with similarity between individuals or agreement of perceptions. There a number different methods used to assess these (e.g., correlation, profile and squared difference scores), there special considerations that need be included when analyzing data this sort correction for mean levels). We provide an overview most appropriate recommendations applying statistical techniques. also include example set demonstrate how analyses...
