Both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in the United States have shown consistent changes between college age middle adulthood. There appear to be declines 3 of 5 major factors personality--Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness--and increases Agreeableness Conscientiousness. To examine cross-cultural generalizability these findings, translations Revised NEO Personality Inventory were administered samples Germany, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, South Korea (N = 7,363). Similar patterns...
College students (N=3,435) in 26 cultures reported their perceptions of age-related changes physical, cognitive, and socioemotional areas functioning rated societal views aging within culture. There was widespread cross-cultural consensus regarding the expected direction trajectories with (a) perceived declines aging, physical attractiveness, ability to perform everyday tasks, new learning; (b) increases wisdom, knowledge, received respect; (c) stability family authority life satisfaction....
Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members their own and others' cultures. These perceptions national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a "kernel truth," or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained ratings 3989 49 cultures compared them the average scores culture assessed by observer self-reports. National were reliable but did not converge traits. Perceptions thus appear to unfounded that serve function maintaining identity.
Although large international studies have found consistent patterns of sex differences in personality traits among adults (i.e., women scoring higher on most facets), less is known about cross-cultural adolescent and the role culture age shaping them. The present study examines NEO Personality Inventory-3 (McCrae, Costa, & Martin, 2005) informant ratings adolescents from 23 cultures (N = 4,850), investigates as sources variability adolescents' personality. effect for Neuroticism (with...
Numerous studies have documented subtle but consistent sex differences in self-reports and observer-ratings of five-factor personality traits, such effects were found to show well-defined developmental trajectories remarkable similarity across nations. In contrast, very little is known about perceived gender traits spite their potential implications for biases at the interpersonal societal level. particular, it not clear how vary age groups national contexts what extent they accurately...
Age trajectories for personality traits are known to be similar across cultures. To address whether stereotypes of age groups reflect these age-related changes in personality, we asked participants 26 countries (N = 3,323) rate typical adolescents, adults, and old persons their own country. Raters nations tended share beliefs about different groups; adolescents were seen as impulsive, rebellious, undisciplined, preferring excitement novelty, whereas people consistently considered lower on...
ABSTRACTThe current study was designed to compare the socio-emotional characteristics of school children pet owners and without pets examine whether type is a variable which can differentiate development their owners. The subjects, 425 girls 401 boys, were students fourth (n=265), sixth (n=295) eighth (n=266) grade elementary schools from metropolitan area Zagreb, Croatia. Socio-emotional variables assessed in were: child attachment pet, prosocial orientation, empathy, loneliness, perception...
Affect is involved in many psychological phenomena, but a descriptive structure, long sought, has been elusive. Valence and arousal are fundamental, key question-the focus of the present study-is relationship between them. sometimes thought to be independent arousal, but, some studies (representing too few societies world) was found vary with valence. One common finding that lowest at neutral valence increases both positive negative valence: symmetric V-shaped relationship. In study reported...
In the present study, we investigated structural invariance of Five‐Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) across a variety cultures. Self‐report data sets from ten European and three non‐European countries were available, representing Germanic (Belgium, England, Germany, Netherlands, USA), Romance (Italy, Spain), Slavic branches (Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia) Indo‐European languages, as well Semito‐Hamitic (Israel) Altaic (Hungary, Japan) language families. Each set was subjected to...
Numerous models of emotional intelligence (EI) have proposed the existence hitherto undiscovered mental abilities, competencies, and skills. The theory trait suggests that content domains these invariably contain permutations personality traits. two studies in this article examine heritability EI scores with a view to demonstrating empirically construct has similar level genetic influence as other Study 1 was family design 133 high-school students their parents. Regressions offspring on...
We tested a hypothesis that there is no genetic correlation between general factors of intelligence and personality, despite both having been selected for in human evolution. This was done using twin samples from Australia, the United States, Netherlands, Great Britain, Croatia, comprising altogether 1,748 monozygotic 1,329 same-sex dizygotic pairs. Although parameters model-fitting differed among samples, two could be set to zero, with better fit if U.S. sample excepted.
This study explores the origins of individual differences in impulsive buying from a behavioral genetics perspective. It also assesses whether phenotypic associations between personality and tendency can be attributed to overlapping genetic factors. Data were collected via mail for 339 twin pairs. Personality traits according five-factor model measured. The results indicate that additive genetic, shared environmental, nonshared environmental influences may important buying. Phenotypic...
Decades of research have shown that about half individual differences in personality traits is heritable. Recent studies reported heritability not fixed, but instead decreases across the life span. However, findings are inconsistent and it yet unclear whether these trends because a waning importance heritable tendencies, attributable to cumulative experiential influences with age, or nonlinear patterns suggesting Gene × Environment interplay. We combined four twin samples (N = 7,026) from...
Abstract The primary aim of this study was to conduct a bivariate genetic analysis investigating the extent which and environmental factors contribute stability change in personality period from adolescence young adulthood on sample Croatian twins. used research formed 1992 based register citizens Zagreb data collected for 160 twin pairs (75 monozygotic 85 dizygotic pairs). Twins were tested twice, 4 years apart with Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (mean age at first time point 17 years)....
ABSTRACT The differentiation of personality by intelligence hypothesis, which has mixed support in the literature, predicts that is more variable for intelligent individuals. This study aimed to test hypothesis comparing variances, reliability coefficients, and inter‐scale correlations as assessed self‐reports between groups participants with different scores. We used two independent datasets ( N 1 = 655; 2 836; total 1491) same vocabulary was a measure verbal intelligence, but measured...
