Principles of Situation Research: Towards a Better Understanding of Psychological SituationsEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 363-381 - 2015
John F. Rauthmann, Ryne A. Sherman, David C. Funder
There is currently no consensus on how to study psychological situations, and situation research is still riddled with problems of conceptualization (what is a situation and what is it not?) and measurement (how can situational information be assessed?). This target article formulates three core principles (with corollaries) to provide a foundation for psychological situation research: th...... hiện toàn bộ
Implicit individual differences: relationships between implicit self‐esteem, gender identity, and gender attitudesEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 19-37 - 2003
Eugene Aidman, Steve M. Carroll
The study examined whether the magnitude of same‐sex‐favouring implicit gender bias depends on individual differences in self‐esteem and gender identity as theorized by Greenwald et al. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was used to measure implicit self‐esteem, gender identity, and gender attitudes. Explicit self‐esteem and gender identity were measured with questionnaires. The IAT reve...... hiện toàn bộ
Why Are Extraverts More Satisfied? Personality, Social Experiences, and Subjective Well–Being in CollegeEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 170-186 - 2017
Kelci Harris, Tammy English, Peter D. Harms, James J. Gross, Joshua J. Jackson
It is widely appreciated that extraversion is associated with greater subjective well–being. What is not yet clear is what mechanisms relate the two. In two longitudinal studies, we explored whether extraversion is prospectively associated with higher levels of satisfaction during college through influencing college social experiences using longitudinal cross–lagged mediation models.

The Core of Darkness: Uncovering the Heart of the Dark TriadEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 27 Số 6 - Trang 521-531 - 2013
Daniel N. Jones, Aurelio José Figueredo
The Dark Triad consists of three overlapping but distinct personality variables: narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. To date, however, no research has empirically identified what leads these three variables to overlap or whether other variables share the same core. The present research addresses why and how dark personalities overlap. Drawing from classic work in psychopathy, Ha...... hiện toàn bộ
Coping, life stress, and psychological and somatic distressEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 253-270 - 1995

Theory and research have focused on the relationships among coping processes, stressful life events, and psychological and physical distress. This study was designed to examine the relationship of stressful life events and three styles of coping—emotion oriented, task oriented, and avoidance oriented—to physical and psychological distress. Questionnaires measuring coping styles, recent li...... hiện toàn bộ

Ricarda Steinmayr, Birgit Spinath
It is consistently reported that despite equal cognitive ability, girls outperform boys in school. In several methodological steps, the present study examined sex differences in school achievement and some of the most important personality and motivational constructs in a sample of 204 females and 138 adolescent males (mean age M = 16.94 years; SD = 0.71). Grades in Math and German as wel...... hiện toàn bộ
Predicting school achievement in boys and girlsEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 231-245 - 2008
H. Harald Freudenthaler, Birgit Spinath, Aljoscha C. Neubauer
This study investigates the extent to which girls' better school attainment is associated with sex differences in intelligence, personality and school‐related motivation. In a sample of 1353 Austrian pupils (mean age 13.74 years), intelligence, the Big Five of personality, self‐esteem, school anxiety, school‐related intrinsic motivation and achievement goals were assessed as predictors an...... hiện toàn bộ
More than the Big Five: Egoism and the HEXACO model of personalityEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 23 Số 8 - Trang 635-654 - 2009
Reinout E. de Vries, A. de Vries, Annebel de Hoogh, Jan A. Feij
Egoism is a personality trait that is associated with self‐enriching and self‐centred behaviours. Research has suggested that egoism lies beyond the Big Five personality factors. Recently, the HEXACO model of personality has been proposed as an alternative to the Big Five model. In three studies, the relation between the HEXACO Personality Inventory and egoism, conceptualized using three ...... hiện toàn bộ
Dimensions of Normal Personality as Networks in Search of Equilibrium: You Can't like Parties if you Don't like PeopleEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 414-431 - 2012
Angélique O. J. Cramer, D.I. Boomsma, Arjen Noordhof, Marieke Wichers, Nicole Geschwind, Steven H. Aggen, Kenneth S. Kendler, Denny Borsboom
In one currently dominant view on personality, personality dimensions (e.g. extraversion) are causes of human behaviour, and personality inventory items (e.g. ‘I like to go to parties’ and ‘I like people’) are measurements of these dimensions. In this view, responses to extraversion items correlate because they measure the same latent dimension. In this paper, we challenge this way of thi...... hiện toàn bộ
Trait emotional intelligence: psychometric investigation with reference to established trait taxonomiesEuropean Journal of Personality - Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 425-448 - 2001
K. V. Petrides, Adrian Furnham
This paper sets out the theoretical foundation of emotional intelligence (EI) as a constellation of traits and self‐perceived abilities. The discriminant validity of trait EI is explored in two studies. In study 1 (N = 227), the psychometric properties of the BarOn Emotional Quotient inventory were scrutinized through confirmatory factor analysis and the measure was found to be unifactori...... hiện toàn bộ
