Personības iezīmes, piesaistes stils un partnera idealizācija sievietēm ar dažādu partnerattiecību ilgumu
2015
Maģistra darba ietvaros tika veikts pētījums lai noskaidrotu, vai pastāv saistības starp personības iezīmēm, piesaistes stiliem un partnera idealizāciju sievietēm un vai pastāv atšķirības starp šiem faktoriem saistībā ar partnerattiecību ilgumu grupās no 1-5, 6-9 un 10- 15 un vairāk kopdzīves gadiem. Kopumā pētījumā piedalījās 168 sievietes vecumā no 25-50 gadiem (M = 30,05 SD = 6,31), ar partnerattiecību ilgumu no 1- 15 gadiem (M = 7,53 SD = 4,29), pie nosacījuma, ka viņas ar šo partneri dzīvo kopā. Pētījuma instrumentārijā tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas- Piesaistes stilu aptauja (ASI; Sperling & Berman, 1991), Lielā Piecinieka aptauja (BFI; The Big Five Inventory, John & Srivastava, 1999) …
Plant morphology: outdated or advanced discipline in modern plant sciences?
2018
Despite an increasing societal awareness and sensitivity about biological diversity and nature conservation as pivotal matters for human survival and well-being, plant systematics has gone through a steady decline in interest, and researches on these topics are often neglected. This particularly applies to plant morphology in its broad sense (i.e. including anatomy, histology, micro-morphology), which has increasingly become marginalized and considered less important than other scientific methods in plant biology. Notwithstanding, even in the current times of genomics (plus other “omics” topics) and functional ecology, when trait-based approaches are essential for studying and understanding…
Constituents of Music and Visual-Art Related Pleasure - A Critical Integrative Literature Review.
2017
The present literature review investigated how pleasure induced by music and visualart has been conceptually understood in empirical research over the past 20 years. After an initial selection of abstracts from seven databases (keywords: pleasure, reward, enjoyment, and hedonic), twenty music and eleven visual-art papers were systematically compared. The following questions were addressed: (1) What is the role of the keyword in the research question? (2) Is pleasure considered a result of variation in the perceiver’s internal or external attributes? (3) What are the most commonly employed methods and main variables in empirical settings? Based on these questions, our critical integrative an…
Lead contamination affects the primary productivity traits, biosynthesis of macromolecules and distribution of metal in durum wheat (Triticumdurum L.)
2021
Highlights • The growth, biosynthesis of pigments and other macromolecules appeared to be strong predictors in appraisal of Pb tolerance/susceptibility in durum wheat. • Germplasm of CBD59, CBD63 and CBD66 can be exploited for future selection and breeding programs. • The bioaccumulation of metal in grains of some cultivars of durum wheat much below than permissible limits set by FAO/WHO is of great significance owing to its implications for food safety.
Research Letter: is neuroticism a risk factor for postpartum depression?
2012
Although the relationship between personality and depressive illness is complex (Shea, 2005), there is empirical evidence that some personality features such as neuroticism, harm avoidance, introversion, dependency, self-criticism or perfectionism are related to depressive illness risk (Gunderson et al. 1999). Moreover, personality traits, especially neuroticism, may explain the increased prevalence of depression among females (Goodwin & Gotlib, 2004). Few studies have explored neuroticism, extraversion and psychoticism as risk factors for depression after an event as stressful as childbirth. Pitt (1968) was the first author to report high scores on neuroticism and low scores on extraversio…
Personality types during transition to young adulthood: how are they related to life situation and well-being?
2014
Abstract The present longitudinal study examined personality types, their change, and their relations with life outcomes and well-being in a sample of young Finns ( N = 493) that was followed from age 15 to 23. The Big Five traits were measured at ages 20 and 23, and four personality types – Resilients, Overcontrollers, Anti-Resilients, and “Averages” – emerged at both time points. Those with higher initial well-being were more likely to be later classified as Resilients, whereas those with low and decreasing well-being were more likely to be classified as Anti-Resilients. At age 23, Anti-Resilients were less likely to have reached normative educational goals than others, and more likely t…
The Italian version of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire: psychometric properties and validation in students, community, and clinical groups
2017
The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Italian validation of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ), conceived as a measure of self-criticism and dependency, i.e. two personality factors acting, according to Blatt (2004), as risk factors for depression in particular and psychopathology in general. A series of standardized measures [Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), DEQ, Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, 3rd edition (MCMI-III)] was administered to three samples (i.e., students, community and clinical). Factorial validity was evaluated along with convergent and predictive validity. In order to evaluate the reliability…
Long-Term Effects of Delayed Fatherhood in Mice on Postnatal Development and Behavioral Traits of Offspring1
2009
This study aims to analyze, in mice, the long-term effects of delayed fatherhood on postnatal development, spontaneous motor activity, and learning capacity of offspring. Hybrid parental-generation (F 0 ) males, at the age of 12, 70, 100, and 120 wk, were individually housed with a randomly selected 12wk-old hybrid female. The resulting first-generation (F 1 ) offspring were tested for several developmental and behavioral variables. Cumulative percentage of F 1 pups that attained immediate righting in the 120-wk group was lower than that found in the 12-, 70-, and 100-wk groups. Furthermore, the postnatal day of attaining immediate righting was higher in pups from the 120-wk group when comp…
The Big Five from the SLA Perspective
2020
This chapter focuses on a general assessment of the role of personality in SLA. For this purpose, first an overview of this scientific area is presented, starting with an introduction of the basic terminology pertaining to the field (which is relevant for the discussion of the studied issues), through a short presentation of the uniqueness of SLA when compared to other, apparently similar, research fields or subjects, to an outline of typologies of individual learner differences, among which personality can sometimes be found. In the next step, there is a discussion of the theoretical and empirical approaches to personality traits in SLA. On the basis of the affective, cognitive, behavioura…
Personality patterns in subjects at risk for affective disorders.
1995
The main conclusions of this study on the familial links between personality patterns and affective disorders are: (1) The personality features with the greatest degree of symptomatic overlap with unipolar depression were more common among the first-degree relatives of probands with this diagnosis: thus dysthymic temperament and neuroticism are enhanced in this group of relatives compared to controls. Likewise personality features with a high degree of symptomatic overlap with bipolar affective disorder were more common among the first-degree relatives of probands with this diagnosis. Thus levels of dysthymic and cyclothymic temperament were elevated in this group of relatives compared to c…
