A new model for the relations between longitudinal personality profiles and psychological functioning through middle age

2014

Personality traits and psychological functioning were assessed three times between the ages from 33 to 50 years (average N = 250) in the Finnish Jyvaskyla Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development. Five longitudinal personality profiles were extracted: Resilient, Overcontrolled, Undercontrolled, Reserved, and Ordinary. The Resilients (neuroticism low, other traits high) were higher in optimism and personal control over development than the Overcontrolleds (neuroticism high, other traits low) at all ages, whereas the Overcontrolleds were higher in anxiety and depressive symptoms. Other profiles were between them in these characteristics. The Undercontrolleds (high openness and…

A Mathematical Approach to the Body-Mind Problem from a System Personality Theory (A Systems Approach to the Body-Mind Problem)

2013

The dynamics of both the General Factor of Personality and the personality biological indicators, as a consequence of a stimulus, can be described with a short-term dynamic model (the response model). The invariance of the response model at both levels of description (psychological and biological) leads to deduce the bridge model with which psychological and biological levels of description can be related. The bridge model is the key tool to deal with the body–mind problem. An application case is presented setting up an experimental design with two subjects. The General Factor of Personality, c-fos and glutamate dynamics are evaluated as a consequence of a methylphenidate dose intake. The r…

Extraversion and Neuroticism as antecedents of emotion regulation and dysregulation in adulthood

2001

This longitudinal study examined the role of Extraversion and Neuroticism as antecedents of emotion regulation and dysregulation among 89 women and 81 men. When participants were 27 years old, their Extraversion and Neuroticism were assessed with the standardized version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. At age 33, they completed the Big‐Five Personality Inventory, an authorized adaptation of the NEO Personality Inventory. Emotion regulation, operationalized as an active attempt to turn a negative emotion toward a more positive direction, and measured by the Repair subscale of the Meta‐Regulation Scale, and emotional social support, as measured by the Life Situation Questionnaire, …

Changing the General Factor of Personality and the c-fos Gene Expression with Methylphenidate and Self-Regulation Therapy

2012

[EN] A deepening in the biological nature of the general factor of personality (GFP) is suggested: the activation level of the stress system is here represented by the gene expression of c-fos. The results of a single case experimental design are reported. A model of four coupled differential equations that explains the human personality dynamics as a consequence of a single stimulant drug intake has been fitted to psychological and biological experimental data. The stimulant-drug conditioning and its adaptation to the considered mathematical model is also studied for both kinds of measures. The dynamics of the cfos expression presents a similar pattern to the dynamics of the psychological …

Advances in the general factor of personality dynamics

2018

This paper presents a dynamical integro-differential equation to reproduce the dynamical response of the General Factor of Personality (GFP) to a stimulus dose, particularly to a stimulant drug dose. The model is called in the past authors publications as response model. We refer to it as the old response model, due to a new response model presented here that solves partially the problem of the model validation: how to forecast the GFP dynamical response from a previous model calibration. The application case presented is an individual ABC experimental design where the stimulus used is methylphenidate.      

Personality traits and unemployment: Evidence from longitudinal data

2012

This study contributes to the literature on how personality is related to labour market success by providing evidence on the relationship between personality traits and unemployment. After accounting for reverse causality and measurement error, our results suggest that higher openness was associated with increased cumulative unemployment at the prime working age. It seems that this connection occurs because individuals with higher openness enter into unemployment spells more frequently – not because their unemployment spells would be particularly long. peerReviewed

Development and Maintenance of Self-Disclosure on Facebook: The Role of Personality Traits

2019

This study explored the relationships between Facebook self-disclosure and personality traits in a sample of Italian users. The aim was to analyze the predictive role of Big Five personality traits on different parameters of breadth and depth of self-disclosed behaviors online. Facebook users, aged between 18 and 64 years of age ( M age = 25.3 years, SD = 6.8; N = 958), of which 51% were female, voluntarily completed an online survey assessing personality traits and Facebook self-disclosure. Results at a series of hierarchical regression analyses significantly corroborated the hypotheses that high extroverted and openness people tend to disclose on Facebook a significant amount of personal …

Il ruolo delle funzioni della memoria autobiografica e dei tratti di personalità nella condivisione degli eventi di vita su Facebook

Introduzione La letteratura ha dimostrato che la memoria autobiografica assolve tre ampie funzioni: dirigere il comportamento futuro, favorire la connessione sociale e promuovere un senso di continuità della propria identità (Bluck, Alea, Habermas e Rubin, 2005). Recenti studi empirici supportano l’idea che l’uso funzionale della memoria autobiografica sia associato ai diversi contenuti informativi che le persone condividono sui social media (Seyfi & Soydas, 2017). Parimenti, una considerevole quantità di ricerche ha evidenziato l’associazione tra le informazioni testuali o visive condivise su Facebook e specifici tratti disposizionali della personalità (p.e. Ryan & Xenos, 2011; Seidman…

Utenti precoci di Pokémon Go - un report pilota sulle modalità di utilizzo

2016

Pokémon Go (PG) è una applicazione ludica gratuita per smartphone basata su tecnologie di realtà aumentata e di geolocazione lanciata sul mercato a fine di luglio del 2016 dalla società americana Niantic (Wilson, 2016). Scopo del gioco è trovare creature immaginarie appartenenti alla famiglia dei Pokémon, e per farlo è necessario spostarsi nel mondo reale. Una volta catturate, dette creature possono essere collezionate, allenate, e fatte combattere tra loro
