Abstract. We explored competing models using bifactor item response theory (IRT) analyses to determine the relationship between trait measures of trust, distrust, and suspicion. The model with a general factor for all three scales fits the data best. We explored the relationship of the emergent general factor by correlating it with two latent traits: Agreeableness and the Trust facet of Agreeableness

The Role of Self-Awareness and Problem-Solving Orientation for the Instrumentality of Goal-Related Means Journal of Individual Differences (IF 2.608) Pub Date : 2022-04-01 Antonia Kreibich,Marie Hennecke,Veronika Brandstätter
Abstract. Successful goal striving hinges on the selection of instrumental means. The current research investigates individual differences in self-awareness as a predictor for means instrumentality. This effect should be mediated by the tendency of self-aware individuals to approach the process of goal pursuit in a way that is problem-solving-oriented. Four studies ( N1a = 123, N1b = 169, N2 = 353

Positive-Negative Asymmetry in Self-Related Processing Journal of Individual Differences (IF 2.608) Pub Date : 2022-03-25 Nan Wang,Jiwen Li,Mei Zeng,Juan Yang
Abstract. People have different tendencies when responding to positive and negative self-related stimuli, which can be referred to as positive-negative asymmetry. People are generally biased toward self-positivity on the one hand and display a self-focus on negative information on the other.

Sex Differences Partially Moderate the Relationships Between Personal Values and the Preference for Cross-Sex Friendships (Heterosociality) Journal of Individual Differences (IF 2.608) Pub Date : 2022-03-11 Tobias Altmann
Abstract. A key differentiation in studies on friendship research is between the same-sex and cross-sex friendships of women and men. Although most women and men prefer same-sex over cross-sex friends, most people do commonly have cross-sex friendships, and there are large interindividual differences in the proportions of cross-sex friends in individual friendship networks. Recent studies have suggested

Individual Differences in Romantic Attachment Journal of Individual Differences (IF 2.608) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 April Bleske-Rechek,Grace Nuck,Michaela M. Gunseor
Abstract. In the 1980s, psychologists extended attachment theory into the domain of adult romantic bonds by proposing that romantic love can be conceptualized as a process of becoming attached ( Hazan & Shaver, 1987 ). From this perspective, individuals differ in two primary attachment dimensions: anxiety, the extent to which they worry about abandonment in their romantic relationships, and avoidance

Fixed Intelligence Mindset Prospectively Predicts Students’ Self-Esteem Journal of Individual Differences (IF 2.608) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Éva Gál,István Szamosközi
Abstract. Dweck’s theory posits that intelligence mindsets have significant implications in individuals’ self-esteem and previous studies have also demonstrated a consistent link between these two constructs ( Conigrave et al., 2019 ; King, 2012 ; Zhao et al., 2019 ). However, little is known about their relationship across time. Does a fixed intelligence mindset contribute to lower levels of self-esteem

Socially Desirable Responding in Experience Sampling Journal of Individual Differences (IF 2.608) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Martin Bäckström,Fredrik Björklund
Abstract. Experience sampling often makes use of items that are similar to personality questionnaire items. Arguably, this opens up for item-popularity effects, where some respondents react to the items’ level of evaluative phrasing, causing a separate factor. Gauging the risk of item popularity effects in experience sampling is important since the multifactorial aspect of the responses to the items

Abstract. Proponents of the general factor of personality have suggested that it is related to more instances of agreeable, conscientious, emotionally stable, extraverted, and open behavior. We tested this frequency hypothesis by relating the GFP from personality self-ratings to the number of instances of typical Big Five behaviors in real life. For a period of 18 consecutive days, 108 students provided
