Owning the plan: The role of autonomous if-then planning for goal progress and action crisis Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Anne Holding, Christine Cunningham, Richard Koestner, Gabriele Oettingen
Autonomous motivation arising from a sense of truly valuing or enjoying one's pursuits (“wanting to do it”) is associated with goal progress and well-being. Likewise, setting an implementation intention in the form of an if-then plan can lead to improved goal outcomes. We introduce the concept of autonomous motivation for if-then plans and study its association with plan enactment, goal progress, and

Antagonistic personality and symptoms of psychological distress: Feeling less bad about being impaired Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-03-10 William Hart, Joshua T. Lambert, Charlotte K. Cease, Peter Castagna
People will inevitably encounter life problems, and symptoms of mental distress that arise from these problems, such as low self-esteem, unhappiness, or anxiety, may motivate people to change or seek professional help. While antagonistic personality features are often associated with increased impairment, positive mental distress relations are weak or inconsistent. It is possible that people with antagonistic

Depression and fitness: the Portuguese-Brazilian version of the evolutionary fitness scale Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-03-10 Andreza Conceição de Souza Tavares, Cezar Giosan, Rosana Suemi Tokumaru
The concept of fitness is crucial to the study of human behavior from an evolutionary perspective. A proposed causal link between fitness-related problems and depression has been suggested. Measuring fitness in humans requires exploring behavioral components, such as mating, parental investment, social capital, and health-oriented actions. This study navigates the relationship between depression and

Emotional intelligence in digital interactions – A call for renewed assessments Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Catherine Audrin, Bertrand Audrin
Emotional intelligence (EI) has been a subject of academic investigation for thirty years. There has been much debate on how to measure these forms of EI and the reliability of their assessment, but the actual context in which emotional intelligence is developed and used has interestingly received scarce interest. More specifically, a critical gap exists in considering the rise and impact of digital

A multidimensional approach to sexual prejudice: Examining the unique roles of moral disapproval and outgroup antipathy Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Stephanie R. Mallinas, E. Ashby Plant
We conceptualize sexual prejudice (i.e., prejudice toward gay/lesbian people) as including two related but distinct individual difference components – moral disapproval and outgroup antipathy. Whereas moral disapproval concerns the perceived wrongness of gay/lesbian sexuality, outgroup antipathy concerns negative evaluations of gay/lesbian individuals. Confirmatory factor analysis supports this two-factor

Exploring the relationship between boredom proneness and agency Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 Vanessa Baaba Dadzie, Allison Drody, James Danckert
Boredom is a negatively valanced emotion characterized by a failed desire to engage with some meaningful activity. A diminished sense of control over events in a person's environment may underly the experience of boredom, precipitating the inability to engage meaningfully. In two separate samples we explored the relation between the sense of agency and trait boredom proneness. Data from both samples

Organizational respondents often provide misleading or patently false information on job applications, personality tests, and other self-reports. Nevertheless, the degree to which socially desirable responding (SDR) threatens the validity of organizational self-reports remains controversial in academic research. The present research contends that the true level of SDR in organizational measures has

A holistic view of gender traits and personality traits predict human health Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-02-22 Weijun Liu, Ziang Li, Cody Ding, Xu Wang, Hong Chen
Mainstream psychology disassembles human psyche into psychological components (i.e., parts) to predict human health, including internalizing problems (e.g., aggression) and externalizing problems (e.g., depression and loneliness). However, this approach ignores the complexity of the human psyche as a whole. We have devised comprehensive methods for calculating the parts-whole relationships based on

Unity in diversity: Exploring the effect of oneness with humanity on the willingness to donate to Syrian and Ukrainian refugees Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-02-22 Emine Bilgen, Hanna Zagefka, R. Thora Bjornsdottir
A sense of oneness with another person or group implies a sense of interconnectedness and overlap with that other, and perceived oneness has been found to foster willingness to help others in need. Despite its potential importance, little empirical research has explored the influence of sense of oneness on attitudes and behaviours towards refugees. This work addresses the question of whether encouraging

Light triad traits moderate the relationship between the dark tetrad and immoral character Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-02-19 Peter J. Castagna, William Hart
The presence of dark traits (sadism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy; Dark Tetrad, D4) does not necessarily imply immoral character. Currently, it is unknown what factors are important in differentiating those with D4 and high- versus low-levels of immoral character. Recently, the light triad (LT) was proposed, which is conceptualized as an individual's disposition towards having positive

In survey scale design, a mixed-worded format intends to ensure attentiveness as respondents need to take into account the wording direction when answering an item. However, some respondents tend to deliver inconsistent responses (i.e., agreeing or disagreeing with both positively and negatively-worded items), posing a validity concern. Two potential directions driving inconsistent responding have

To get good data quality or study sadistic people? Are “inattentive responders” actually sadistic? Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Charlotte K. Cease, William Hart, Braden T. Hall, Joshua T. Lambert, Danielle E. Wahlers
Researchers typically eliminate inattentive participants; however, when researchers assess inattention with “lie scales,” which assess preposterous responding, they may remove personality variance associated with tendencies to be preposterous. We examined this idea in the context of the Dark Tetrad (D4), which includes sadism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism. Based in prior work on the

The seductive beauty of latent variable models: Or why I don't believe in the Easter Bunny Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-01-29 William Revelle
Seduced by their mathematical beauty, psychologists have been using latent variable models for more than a century. Whether discussing a general factor of cognitive ability, personality, or psychopathology there has been an unfortunate tendency to reify hierarchical structures without examining the utility of alternative models. To some of us, the use of latent variables was an unfortunate mistake

Trait nostalgia Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-01-27 Constantine Sedikides, Tim Wildschut
We define trait nostalgia as the proclivity to bring to mind, and reflect wistfully upon, fond and meaningful experiences from one's personal past. The affective structure of nostalgic experiences is blended, but predominantly positive. Their content is acutely social, and their trajectory is redemptive rather than contaminative. Further, nostalgic experiences are appraised as pleasant, entailing irretrievable

Self-respect and responsibility: Understanding individuals' entitlement beliefs and their association with concern for others' rights Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-01-22 Daniela Renger, Stefano Passini
People differ in their understanding of the (civic) rights they are endowed with in modern societies. Whereas a perception of having more rights than others has been linked to over-individualistic attitudes and negative interpersonal behavior, a perception of having the same rights as others (i.e., self-respect) can be assumed to facilitate a balance between concern for one's own and others' rights

What is wrong with individual differences research? Personality and Individual Differences (IF 3.95) Pub Date : 2024-01-19 Colin Cooper
There are major but largely-unrecognised problems with all individual differences research which uses questionnaires or tests. Firstly, measurement specialists are vocal in observing that rating scales and ability scales cannot, in principle, measure individual differences. This may make psychometrics “a pathology of science” (Michell, 2000). Secondly, online data collection is known to produce seriously
