Dynamic and data-rich domains, like those found in the military, rely heavily on teamwork for their operations. Previous work has attempted to understand how the personality of individuals contributes to overall team performance, but specific links between individual traits and team dimensions are needed. This study aims to link the dimensions from the original Big Five Trait Taxonomy to the Big Five in teamwork. Specifically, the focus was identifying which dimensions in the Big Five Trait Taxonomy influenced the Big Five in teamwork’s core component of adaptability. Ten pairs of participants completed a simulated Unmanned Aerial Vehicle control task. The best and worst performing pairs were identified and further analyzed to assess how pairs enabled adaptability when workload transitioned. The findings showed the best performing pairs enabled team adaptability effectively and had high levels of extraversion, lower levels of diversity across all dimensions, and adopted collaborative strategies to complete all the tasks. These findings suggest operational standards, technology, and training programs should be developed to foster these personality traits and collaborative-base strategies.

<p>The main purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of the Big Five personality traits on consumers’ online shopping performance and perceptions of shopping experience. Building on previous research, it was found that personality characteristics shape an individual’s motivation, goals, and perception, thereby providing criteria to evaluate external stimuli and affect performance. The influence of personality traits on a consumer adopting online purchases as well as his acceptability and adaptability with the said medium is assessed. The paper consists of theoretical and research aspects. The first part encompasses theoretical insights into the secondary research regarding personality traits while the practical part presents the methodology and primary research results. In the study, research goals as well as previous findings and primary research results, corresponding hypothesis were set and confirmed. Inter variable correlation analysis has been performed to test the hypothesis followed by a regression analysis. The results potrayed respondents’ consistency in their personality traits (Extraversion, Openness to Experience and Conscientiousness) and their behaviour while shopping online. However, the trait neuroticism did not conform to the generalisation and hence did not display consistency between the trait and its related behaviour in online shopping.</p>

Recent findings have shown that both trait levels of personality and situational variability in its expression are of importance. So here, the Big Five personality traits of 77 professional and 125 amateur stand-up comedians were compared with two large matched samples ( N > 100,000). The comedians were also observed while performing, which enabled a comparison of their stage personalities with situational requirements on 10 selected NEO-PIR facets. Both amateurs and professionals showed higher openness-to-experience, extraversion, and lower conscientiousness than their norm samples, while professionals also evidenced greater neuroticism. Irrespective of trait standing, with regard to most NEO-PIR facets, professionals expressed the appropriate on-stage persona and were better able to regulate their personality to conform to situational requirements than amateurs. This is consistent with research showing that individuals regulate their personality to conform to situational and goal requirements, and adds the finding that successful comedians demonstrate enhanced adaptability compared with amateurs.

The objectives of the research are to identify positive personality traits in the poetical novella of The Broken Wings and to expose some actions, thoughts and feelings of the major characters that could be categorized into positive personality traits. Some related theories on personality traits are applied in this research, one of which, is the one proposed by Lauther (2012) stating that personality traits appear in the forms of action, attitude and behavior some may be positive such as: love, friendship, respect, honesty, responsibility, adaptability, compatibility, resolution, compassion, patience, courage and loyalty; while some others negative such attitude as laziness, shyness, arrogance, closeness , dishonesty, cruelty, and intolerance. The research is conducted by means of qualitative descriptive method proposed by Kothari (2004) having a goal of a comprehensive summarization, in everyday terms, of specific events experienced by individuals or groups of individuals. The research results show that there are four significant positive personality traits found in the whole course of the story: Love, Friendship, Resolution and Respect and these traits are all experienced by the major characters.

Aim. The aim of this research is comparing the role of personality traits and emotional intelligence between women who experienced domestic violence and a control group. Methods. The statistical population of the study includes all women (700 participants) referred to the judicial authorities of Ardabil province in 2019.The research sample included 30 women who experienced domestic violence and 30 women as control group (not experienced domestic violence) who were selected by available sampling method. To measure emotional intelligence and personality traits, the Bar-on Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and NEO Questionnaire was used. The questionnaires briefly describe and evaluate the two complex concepts of emotional intelligence and current emotional health. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software and MANOVA. The main variables of the research were neuroticism, extroversion, openness, agreeableness, extra-individual skills, conscientiousness, interpersonal skills, adaptability, stress control and public mood. Results. The findings of the research have shown that among the characteristics of the five major personality factors (NEO), only the neuroticism component was more prevalent among women who experienced domestic violence, and the rest of the personality traits (extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to new experiences) among control group were higher (P<0.05). Also, all components of emotional intelligence (extra-individual skills, intrapersonal skills, adaptability, stress control, and public mood) were higher among control group than those of women who experienced domestic violence (P<0.05). Conlusion. As a result, it can be acknowledged that personality traits and emotional intelligence abilities are among the main factors related to domestic violence and are very important in preventing this violence.

Abstract Background Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) is one of the important factors that affect the prognosis of schizophrenia. This study aimed to investigate the effects of personality trait and family relationships on delayed treatment of schizophrenia. Methods The subjects were 169 patients diagnosed with first-episode schizophrenia. It is a prospective study examined the socio-demographic factors with positive and negative syndrome (PANSS) and social occupational function (SOFAS). Personality trait was investigated with the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10) and family cohesion was investigated with the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales-III (FACES-III). The DUP was defined as the time period from the appearance of the first psychotic symptoms for more than several days to the time when antipsychotic treatment began. Groups were divided according to the median value of the DUP. Results The average DUP was 12.0 months and the median value was 3.0 months. In long DUP group, age is significantly older, the PANSS score was significantly higher and the SOFAS score was significantly lower. Logistic regression analysis showed that long DUP was associated with the conscientiousness of the BFI-10 (OR = 2.175, p = 0.004) and lower level of family cohesion of FACES-III (OR = 0.930, p = 0.025). Discussion As a result of the study, treatment delay of psychosis was associated with lower cohesion and adaptability of family function and the tendency of the personality with conscientiousness. These suggest that the role of the family in accessing mental health services is important when the initial symptoms of schizophrenia develop.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the impact of psychological traits on patients' choice of orthodontic appliances and their adjustability to orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 68 adult patients divided into three groups (28 buccal, 19 lingual, and 21 clear aligners). Prior to treatment participants filled out the Brief Symptom Inventory to assess symptoms of mental distress and the Narcissistic Vulnerability Scale to assess narcissistic personality traits. During the first week after appliance delivery and on day 14, patients completed a Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire to assess their perception of pain and four areas of dysfunction. The correlation between personality traits and patients' reaction to treatment was evaluated. Results: Somatization was the only trait that affected the choice of lingual and clear aligner appliance. Reduced self-esteem regulation was associated with increased pain in all patients, while exploitation was associated with pain in lingual patients. Narcissistic vulnerability slightly influenced patients' adaptability to orthodontic appliances. Although adjustability to lingual appliances was the most difficult, only two parameters were affected by personality features. In the buccal group, adjustability was affected by numerous parameters. Adaptation to the clear aligner appliance was relatively uneventful and least affected by psychological features. Conclusion: Anxious individuals tend to prefer lingual and clear aligner appliances. The selection of lingual and clear aligner appliances governs the patient's response and recovery process, leaving little room for the effect of psychological features. On the other hand, the buccal appliance allows for greater impact of personality traits on adjustability.

Full textAbstract:
Stress and its associations with psychopathic traits have been widely studied. However, recent research suggests the distinction between psychological and physiological symptoms of subclinical stress experience. Possible differences regarding these two dimensions of stress and their relations to psychopathy factors have not been investigated yet. Hence, this is the first study on psychological and physiological subclinical stress levels of forensic patients with psychopathic personality traits. We expected to find distinct associations between stress dimensions and psychopathy factors. Therefore, we examined 164 forensic patients with a substance use disorder regarding their psychopathy scores and current stress levels, using the Psychopathy Personality Inventory (PPI) and the Subclinical Stress Questionnaire (SSQ). Our results indicate that only the experience of psychological stress and not physiological stress is predicted by psychopathy. More precisely, the psychopathy factor “Impulsive Antisociality” is a positive predictor of subclinical psychological stress symptoms, while the factor “Fearless Dominance” is a negative predictor. Thereby, gender has an influence as females are more likely to experience psychological and physiological stress. In conclusion, these results imply that forensic patients scoring high on the psychopathy factor “Impulsive Antisociality” experience high levels of psychological distress. This is in line with previous findings describing Impulsive Antisociality as a generally maladaptive trait manifesting in low adaptability and insufficient coping strategies.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
A perfectionism of scientific and pedagogical staff of high school is one of the topical. An access to the Bologna Process and to the European educational research environment demands from teachers of high school new requirements. These factors demand an achievement of new heights, a desire to be the best, an obtaining success by focusing on avoiding failure. In the investigation of perfectionism of teachers of high school participated 1068 persons. “The Big Three Perfectionism Scale” of M. Smith, D.Saklofske, J. Stoeber, S.Sherry was used in investigation. In the article, four main approaches to perfectionism are described: as a need for self-improvement, as a mindset of personality, as a style of life, as a personal trait. It is shown that teachers of high school know well about the perfectionism and they define it as a pursuance of ideal; a pursuance of doing everything in the best way; a belief that an ideal can and should be achieved; a desire for self-improvement and improvement of other people; as a human disease, in which everything should be perfect. Due to “The Big Three Perfectionism Scale”, a significant number of teachers of high school has average and high levels of perfectionism of personality. According to the results of ANOVA, it is established that the level of "self-oriented perfectionism" depends on gender and the presence and number of children; "self-critical perfectionism", "entitlement" and "hypercriticism" depends on age and gender of respondents; "concern over mistakes" depends on gender and marital status; "narcissistic perfectionism" and "other oriented perfectionism" depends on age, gender and marital status of respondents. The author describes such characteristics of professional activity, which provoke the perfectionism of personality of high school teachers: openness, activity and dynamism, adaptability, communicability, creativity, professional competence, independence, professional mobility, job satisfaction etc.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundDysfunctions in the regulation of emotional responses are related to poor psychological well-being and increased impact of cardiovascular disease. It has been suggested that the relationship between negative affect and higher morbidity could be mediated by a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), for example, of heart rate variability (HRV). Neuroticism is a personality trait associated with a maladaptive emotion regulation and also with alterations in ANS function. However, it is unknown whether subjects with high neuroticism present with specific biases in emotion regulation associated with reduced HRV.MethodIn total, 33 healthy subjects (n=13, highly neurotic) performed an emotion regulation task, during which they were instructed to either passively view negative pictures or attempt to down-regulate the affect elicited by the images. During the task an electrocardiogram was recorded and HRV was measured by calculation of the high frequency spectrum (HF-HRV).ResultsA significant interaction between task condition and personality group was observed on HF-HRV measures (F1,31=6.569, p=0.016). This was driven by subjects with low neuroticism presenting higher HF-HRV during down-regulation compared to passive exposure to negative stimuli, while subjects with high neuroticism reported an opposite tendency.ConclusionsOur results show reduced HF-HRV during cognitive reappraisal of negative stimuli in high neuroticism and indicate a specific link between loss of flexibility in the parasympathetic cardiovascular tone and emotion regulation, consistent with previous work. Such findings support the importance of exploring the combination of ANS adaptability and emotional dysregulation in neuroticism as different facets of a common psychosomatic vulnerability factor.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discover the antecedents of intrapreneurship. Based on career construction theory and prior personality studies, this study examined the mediating effects of career adaptability on the relation between personality traits and intrapreneurship. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey was conducted using employees from four Korean companies. The hypothesized research model was tested with 473 data using structural equation modeling. The bootstrap procedure and the phantom model approach were also employed to thoroughly examine the indirect effects of personality traits on intrapreneurship via career adaptability. Findings The results demonstrated that career adaptability mediated the overall relation between personality traits and intrapreneurship. Career adaptability completely mediated the relation between intrapreneurship and both openness and conscientiousness from the Big Five personality dimensions. Regarding extraversion, the mediating effects of career adaptability were not supported by the results, but the direct effects were found to be significant. Practical implications These findings offer new insights into the intrapreneurial talents required of employees in organizations. The application of the identified direct or indirect impact of personality traits through career adaptability may help human resource managers to select and foster potential intrapreneurs and facilitate career coaches in understanding employees’ assets and obstacles in developing intrapreneurial competencies. Originality/value This is the first empirical study to explore the mechanism between personality traits and intrapreneurship by examining the mediating role of career adaptability in the workplace and thereby this study contributes to bridging the gap of different research domains between intrapreneurship and career adaptability.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the predictive role of personality and gender in cognitive adaptability of entrepreneurs. By using the theories of personality development, social learning, situated cognition and meta-cognition, a logical relationship between personality traits, gender difference and entrepreneurs’ cognitive adaptability was established. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative strategy and cross-sectional survey method was then deployed to empirically investigate the purposed relationships between variables of interest. Randomly selected 443 working entrepreneurs responded to the survey. Findings Factor analyzed structural equation modeling estimated cognitive adaptability as a second-order factor, with extroversion and neuroticism having a significant impact on cognitive adaptability. Multi-group moderation revealed a significant difference among females and males against the same two personality traits. Originality/value This study in its nature is the first attempt to link Big Five personality traits with cognitive adaptability of entrepreneurs.

Full textAbstract:
Scholars suggest that only certain personality traits can easily adapt and react positively to organisational changes and consequently to innovative behaviour. Hence, in this study, we drew upon career construction theory to develop a hypothetical model examining how certain personality traits (i.e., curiosity, focus on opportunity, and resilience) are likely to influence career adaptability and consequently innovative behaviour. To test the model, we used two-wave longitudinal data focusing on 313 frontline employees operating in a random sample of five-star hotels in Dubai. Using Smart-PLS.3, we revealed that employees with a high level of curiosity, focus on opportunity, and resilience tend to increase the likelihood of their career adaptability significantly. In other words, employees with such work-related personality are more likely to adapt to organisational changes and fit different organisational environments. Furthermore, the result of the study found that career adaptability significantly mediated the relationship between these personality traits and innovative behaviour. The findings have significant implications for both theory and practice. They may also be contextual. These implications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which career adaptability, personality traits, and socio-demographic features account for organizational commitment among the employed population. The study was conducted on an appropriate sample of 390 employees in the public (34%) and private sector (66%) in Serbia (42% male, 58% female), average age of 40. 46,2% of the respondents occupy executive positions, and 58,2% non-executive positions. Criterion variables are summative scores of organizational commitment dimensions (affective, normative and instrumental). Predictor variables are socio-demographic features (gender, organizational role, organization type, years of employment (total), years of employment (current organization), age, and education) as summative scores on the six-dimension HEXACO-based model (Honesty, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness to experience) and summative scores on career adaptability scales (concern, control, curiosity and confidence). Employing hierarchical multiple regression-based analyses, we have determined that personality traits, socio-demographic features, and career adaptability aspects account for 29% of affective commitment variance, 18% of normative commitment and 17% of instrumental commitment. In order of magnitude and importance, socio-demographic features first and personality traits second can be considered stable predictors of affective and normative commitment, whereas career adaptability makes for the least stable predictor. Personality traits are the most important factor in instrumental commitment, then socio-demographic features, whereas career adaptability is the least important factor. Affective commitment is more common among employees occupying executive positions, employees with longer employment period in the organization, and among employees in the private sector who display higher levels of extraversion, honesty and agreeableness, and levels of control. Normative commitment is on avarage higher among executives, in the private sector, among employees with shorter total employment (but longer employment in the current organization), and among older employees with higher extraversion, agreeableness and lower openness. Instrumental commitment is on average higher among employees with longer employment period in the organization and older respondents, and among those with higher emotionality and honesty, and lower extraversion. We can conclude that socio-demographic features constitute a major factor in organizational commitment, while personality traits are less significant. Career adaptability is a minor factor, and only for some aspects of organizational commitment. Based on the results obtained, we have fomulated a number of practical implications that may be of use to occupational psychologists in creating interventions to increase organizational commitment.

Higher education has increasingly emphasized the importance of employability traits in order to personalize students’ learning needs and meet dynamic workplace demands. Previous research addressing the personalized learning on career education in blended learning model is limited. The present study aims to examine whether students with distinctive stable personality traits would improve their career adaptability and adaptation results after attending a synchronous career course during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 162 participants completed the questionnaires at both the first and last sessions of the course in spring 2020. Findings revealed that the course positively improved students’ identity formation. Personality traits demonstrated significant main effects on the middle identity formation stage and career adaptability. This study highlights traits such as emotional stability and possible cultural effects on the career development course in the young Chinese sample population. The implication of specific attributes and cultural backgrounds in career development courses is discussed.

This overview focuses on a multidimensional psychosocial construct of career adaptability, to which a special attention has been paid recently. Career adaptability indicates individual’s means of coping with current or anticipated challenges, changes and traumas in professional roles. The study provides a description of career adaptability construct creation, its definition and dimensions – interest, control, curiosity and self-confidence. Further, tools for career adaptability measurement and selected empirical findings about career adaptability are presented. Focus is, among other things, on the relation of career adaptability and demographical variables, personality traits, self-image, self-esteem, confidence in own abilities, professional identity, time orientation, academic success, career vocation, career satisfaction etc. Presented theoretical and empirical findings are important for career counsellors and teachers of career education, who can, based on the knowledge of career adaptability, suggest interventions reflecting specific needs of individual clients and students.

Full textAbstract:
Career development for university research managers and administrators (RMAs) is inherently challenging in small island states. In this article, we argue that by acquiring career adaptability resources, university RMAs can address their career development needs even in contexts with a restricted labor market. We do this by first identifying the factors that shape the career development prospects of university RMAs. Subsequently, we present evidence of how university RMAs in small island states may pursue their career development goals by redefining their roles according to the contextual realities. Career adaptability theory helps us to explore how this redefinition occurs, particularly since adaptability arises from a combination of personality traits (self-regulation) and careful interventions that can build adaptability resources. We use the knowledge from career adaptability theory to identify a number of implications for RMAs, universities, counselors, and professional associations to address career development issues within restricted small island contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Since its inception in mainstream scientific psychology, resilience has emerged as a popular, yet controversial, construct. As evidenced in the target article, this controversy can be attributed, at least in part, to current conceptual and methodological difficulties hampering understanding of the construct. Chief among these concerns is the discriminant validity of resilience with respect to conceptually similar individual differences constructs, such as hardiness, mental toughness, adaptability, and even the five-factor personality dimensions. Advances in research on resilience, and ultimately the utility of the construct in applied settings, hinge on its distinction from related concepts.

Full textAbstract:
Our primary objective was to investigate whether HEXACO personality profiles predict different coping strategies during the first wave of the COVID?19 pandemic. We chose a person-centered approach as it enabled visibility of personal structures differentiating between adaptive and maladaptive coping in a nonclinical sample. Latent profile analysis identified three distinct personality profiles, each profile complemented by its specific choice of coping strategies. The Resilient (conscientious extroverts) used strategies focused on the stressor (Problem-focused, Emotion-focused coping, and Humor); the Undercontrolled (conscienceless) turned to Avoidance of problem-solving strategies; the Overcontrolled (emotionally reactive and conscientious introverts) avoided Humor and handling of their own emotions. Combination of Conscientiousness scores differentiated between adaptive and maladaptive resilience. However, high Emotionality in conjunction with Introversion and high Conscientiousness produced both vulnerability and maladaptation. Absence of Avoidance is the paramount feature of adaptive resilience. Thus, personality related variance in stress response is mostly determined by traits responsible for control, proactivity, and affectivity.

• adaptability
• assertiveness
• autonomy
• conscientiousness
• customer service orientation
• emotional resilience
• extraversion
• openness
• optimism
• teamwork
• tough-mindedness
• visionary-operational work style
• work drive
Responses were analysed using a two-step cluster analysis technique, and participants were grouped into seven clusters.
Main Results – The largest group of respondents was cataloguers at 23.7%, followed by other (health or law) 19.1%, academic reference librarians 13.2%, special librarians 12.3% with all other groups in single figures. Respondents were divided up into the following seven clusters.
• Cluster 1, the “unadaptive” group -- so labelled because several unadaptive traits such as low emotional resilience, low optimism, low teamwork, and low work drive are included.
• Cluster 2, “adaptive academic reference librarians” -- high on customer service orientation, extraversion and teamwork, and low on tough-mindedness.
• Cluster 3, “adaptive cataloguers” -- low on customer service orientation and possessing a more operational work style.
• Cluster 4, “adaptive special librarians” -- high on autonomy, customer service orientation and extraversion.
• Cluster 5, “adaptive distance education librarians, public librarians, records managers, and school librarians” -- possessing a visionary work style and scoring high on adaptability, assertiveness, customer service orientation, emotional resilience, high extraversion, openness, optimism, and teamwork; scoring low on tough-mindedness.
• Cluster 6, “adaptive other information professionals” -- also possessing a visionary work style and with high scores on adaptability, assertiveness, autonomy, customer service orientation, emotional resilience, extraversion, openness, optimism, teamwork, and work drive.
• Cluster 7, “adaptive archivists and systems librarians” scoring high on assertiveness, openness, and tough-mindedness.
Most clusters were comprised of a single occupational group, with only Clusters 1 and 5 made up of individuals from more than one group.
Conclusion – The results indicate that different librarianship subspecialties can be differentiated by personality traits, and that individuals are likely to be drawn to either person-orientated or technique-orientated library specialties depending on their personality traits.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to existing models of human motivation by measuring transcendental needs along with the more commonly studied basic and social needs in order to take into account the multitude of needs experienced in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach A survey combining the Big Five Inventory (John and Srivastava, 1999) with the authors’ 30-item need-level questionnaire was administered to 366 participants (162 males, 204 females). The authors examined the relation between need levels, particularly transcendental needs, and personality to detect the predictors of the different personality traits. Findings The results showed that extraversion (r=0.24; p<0.001) and agreeableness (r=0.19; p<0.001) are predicted by high social needs, whereas openness to experience is predicted by high transcendental needs (r=0.35; p<0.001). While the authors made no hypotheses about conscientiousness and neuroticism, they found that neuroticism was significantly correlated with transcendental needs (r=−0.15; p<0.01). Research limitations/implications The relations between needs and other individual dimensions, such as values or interests, could be further examined. The nature of the sample could be extended in additional studies. Practical implications Since need levels were able to predict personality traits, measuring need levels instead of personality could be a better predictor of both adaptability and performance in specific contexts. Social implications In a position that requires a specific vocation and sense of purpose (priest, counselor, etc.), transcendental needs could be a better predictor of job achievement than personality traits. Monitoring all levels of needs could also be valuable in helping managers develop a deeper understanding of their team members’ expectations for meaning and purpose. Originality/value This research contributes to the model on human motivation by adding one more level (transcendental) and by testing the hypothesis of a link between a need scale and personality traits.

Full textAbstract:
Personality is relatively defined as either conscious or subconscious appearance in the mind that is reflected by the actions of an individual. This qualitative research is based on a qualitative approach that conducts an in-depth interview method for 30 staff from four Malaysian public universities which are internationally recognized. The focus of this paper is to examine expatriates’ adaptability to the needs of the host country by specifically referring to optimistic personalities and proactive attitudes as determinants of the success of an international assignment. The personality traits discussed include respecting cultural differences, being friendly to the local community, always being humble and open minded, showing flexibility in social relationships, showing interest and increasing the desire to learn something new, have the passion and excitement to explore and travel, positive about the diversity of local customs and mindset of the local people, and is tolerant in every aspect that benefits everyone. Based on the findings of the researchers, the identification of personality in influencing the process of socio-cultural adaptation goes beyond the influence of the experience, knowledge, skills and capabilities of an expatriate.

The professional training of a clinical speech therapist traditionally focuses on the formation of professional competencies, motivation, and the ability to develop professionally, while the problems of coping with chronic emotional stress are common causes of professional deformations in them. It has been suggested that a high level of speech therapist’s readiness for professional activities, along with the individual typological characteristics of the personality described in the professiogram, is positively associated with a number of psychophysiological characteristics. An empirical study of personality traits, psychoemotional state, psychophysiological reactions, the adaptability of speech therapists (N = 56) was carried out using the psychophysiological testing device “UPFT-1/30 Psychophysiologist” (“Medicom MTD”). For the survey of teachers of three Russian state universities (N = 37), providing education clinical speech and language therapists were used the methods of analytical professiogramme E. M. Ivanova.

Personality traits denote inherited or acquired individual characteristics of thought, feeling and actions that include the psycho-physical, emotional, conscious and unconscious behavior pattern of a person. The major problem in marriage is adjustment to a mate. Interpersonal relationships play as important role in marriage like friendships. But after marriage, the interpersonal relationships are difficult to maintain compare to social life. To evaluate the impact of personality traits on marital adjustment this study was carried out among working women in organized sector. A total of 300 employed women from different professions, e.g. education, health and other services were selected from Ranchi, Hazaribag, Ramgarh and Bokaro district of Jharkhand. Marital relationship is shaped by the action and interaction of various external factors like income, education, type of work, household responsibilities, type of family and internal factors viz., background, interest, temperament, values. Results reveal that majority of the respondents had similar interests and values. There was significant difference in temperament between college teacher-clerk and school teacher-clerk. The respondent belonging to higher service and lower service had no significant difference with respect to similarities of interest and value. Additionally there was a significant difference in adaptability between doctor and clerk, officer and clerk, and school teacher and clerk. To achieve marital harmony one has to be rational, tolerant, cooperative and loving. Successful marriage depends mainly on flexibility, independence, sufficient emotional support and positive communication between the partners.

Full textAbstract:
Among agents of selection that shape phenotypic traits in animals, humans can cause more rapid changes than many natural factors. Studies have focused on human selection of morphological traits, but little is known about human selection of behavioural traits. By monitoring elk ( Cervus elaphus ) with satellite telemetry, we tested whether individuals harvested by hunters adopted less favourable behaviours than elk that survived the hunting season. Among 45 2-year-old males, harvested elk showed bolder behaviour, including higher movement rate and increased use of open areas, compared with surviving elk that showed less conspicuous behaviour. Personality clearly drove this pattern, given that inter-individual differences in movement rate were present before the onset of the hunting season. Elk that were harvested further increased their movement rate when the probability of encountering hunters was high (close to roads, flatter terrain, during the weekend), while elk that survived decreased movements and showed avoidance of open areas. Among 77 females (2–19 y.o.), personality traits were less evident and likely confounded by learning because females decreased their movement rate with increasing age. As with males, hunters typically harvested females with bold behavioural traits. Among less-experienced elk (2–9 y.o.), females that moved faster were harvested, while elk that moved slower and avoided open areas survived. Interestingly, movement rate decreased as age increased in those females that survived, but not in those that were eventually harvested. The latter clearly showed lower plasticity and adaptability to the local environment. All females older than 9 y.o. moved more slowly, avoided open areas and survived. Selection on behavioural traits is an important but often-ignored consequence of human exploitation of wild animals. Human hunting could evoke exploitation-induced evolutionary change, which, in turn, might oppose adaptive responses to natural and sexual selection.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to highlight the results of a pilot study of the peculiarities of the manifestation of religiosity in the structure of personal qualities, which can potentially indicate a kind of condition for the formation of religious consciousness and manifestations of personality behavior. Methods. To determine one`s characteristic features of the religious world view, we chose “Structure of Individual Religiosity” by Y. Shcherbatykh; to diagnose the actual semantic states of the respondents – a test-questionnaire “SJO” by D. Leontiev and “16PF Questionnaire” by R. Cattell, which reflects the model of individual psychological personality traits.Results. This scientific report presents the results of an empirical study, which provided for the possibility of comparing the psychological consequences of individual religiosity of persons with different levels of formation of individual religiosity. Religiosity in the context of this study appears as a deep personal structure that is not reduced to any particular confessional form. The legitimacy of determining the psychological consequences of individual religiosity as related to changes in the characteristics of the main dynamic substructures of personality – “inner world”, “character” and “mental states” is theoretically substantiated and empirically confirmed. It has been proved that the level of religiosity correlates with sociability, which is determined by the affiliation of an individual to religious communities, functional and empirical type of religiosity.Conclusions. This article provides the analysis of the concept of individual religiosity, defines its components and typologies. The established value attitude to religion is realized through the system of knowledge, emotional attitude, cult religious behavior and the spread of religious ideals in one’s own life. Along with the concept of religiosity, the concept of spirituality or faith is often used, and it is generally accepted to share faith in religious and non-religious. The results of the study refute the stereotypes formed in society about the individual psychological qualities of religious people, for example, indicators indicate the absence of differences in internality and externality, carelessness, emotional stability of religious and non-religious respondents. Individual religiosity acts as an adaptive resource of the individual, providing increased stress potential, the effectiveness of its adaptation to changing living conditions, the success of overcoming social fears, etc., therefore, the psychological consequences of individual religiosity include: improving the effectiveness of overcoming difficult life situations and adaptability to changing living conditions, growing sense of social and psychological security.Key words: individual religiosity, faith, non-religiosity, personality, psychological consequences of religiosity, value-semantic orientations. Мета. Метою статті є висвітлення результатів пілотажного дослідження особливостей прояву релігійності в структурі особистісних якостей, що можуть потенційно свідчити про своєрідну умову для формування релігійної свідомості й проявів поведінки особистості. Методи. Для визначення характерних ознак релігійної картини світу особистості був обраний тест- опитувальник вивчення рівня та структури індивідуальної релігійності Ю.В. Щербатих; для діагностики актуальних смислових станів респондентів – тест-опитувальник СЖО Д. Леонтьєва та 16-фактор-ний особистісний опитувальник Р. Кеттелла, який відображає модель індивідуально-психологічних властивостей особистості.Результати. В цьому науковому повідомленні викладено результати пілотажного емпіричного дослідження осіб, які мають різні рівні сформованості індивідуальної релігійності. Релігійність у контексті цього дослідження постає як глибинна особистісна структура, що не зводиться до будь-якої конкретної конфесійної форми. Теоретично обґрунтовано та емпірично підтверджено правомірність визначення психологічних наслідків індивідуальної релігійності як пов’язаних зі змінами у характеристиках основних динамічних підструктур особистості – «внутрішнього світу», «характеру» та «психічних станів». Доведено, що рівень релігійності корелюється з соціабельністю, що зумовлюється приналежністю особистості до релігійних спільнот, функціональним та емпіричним типом релігійності.Висновки. У статті проаналізовані поняття індивідуальної релігійності, визначено її компоненти та форми. Сформоване ціннісне ставлення особистості до релігії, що реалізується через систему її знань, емоційне ставлення, культову релігійну поведінку, поширення релігійних ідеалів у власному житті. Поряд з поняттям релігійності часто використовується поняття духовності або віри, а також є загальноприйнятим існування певної амбівалентності релігійності й нерелігійності.Результати дослідження спростовують сформовані в суспільстві стереотипи стосовно індивідуально-психо-логічних якостей релігійних людей, наприклад, показники свідчать про відсутність розбіжностей за інтернальністю та екстернальністю, безтурботністю, емоційною стійкістю релігійних та нерелігійних респондентів. Індивідуальна релігійність виступає як адаптаційний ресурс особистості, що забезпечує підвищення стресозахисного потенціалу людини, ефективності її пристосування до змінюваних умов життєдіяльності, успішності подолання соціальних страхів тощо, отже, до психологічних наслідків індивідуальної релігійності варто віднести: підвищення ефективності подолання складних життєвих ситуацій та адаптивності особистості до змінюваних умов життя, зростання відчуття соціально-психологічної безпеки.Ключові слова: індивідуальна релігійність, віра, нерелігійність, особистість, психологічні наслідки релігійності, ціннісно-смислові орієнтації.

The article presents the theoretical and empirical study of the structure of tolerance to stress. The system of tolerance to stress was the study object. The study subject was the psychological patterns of an individual’s tolerance to stress and its development. The author describes the mechanisms of self-regulation at stress in the system “individual – personality – individuality - over-personality”. The following techniques were used for the empirical study: “Mini-mult” test of V.P. Zaitseva to identify distressing personal traits; H. J. Eysenck’s test to determine types of temperament; E.Heim’s technique examining the adaptability of coping strategies used by people; patrol police officer were examined with the author’s questionnaire “Examination of personal tolerance to stress”. The author identified the action mechanisms for each component of tolerance to stress: psychophysiological, emotional, cognitive and volitional. Correlations were determined between the components of the studied system. Thus, the psychophysiological component is the basis for development of other components of tolerance to stress. Correlations among an individual’s temperament, character, coping strategies and free will were demonstrated in the theoretical and empirical research. The determined components of tolerance to stress are interdependent, they complemented each other in an integrated system: one is possible due to others. Psychophysiological self-regulation was possible due to developed regulative capabilities of the autonomic nervous system. The emotional component of stress tolerance correlated with physiological and socio-cultural needs that motivated an individual to avoid or overcome obstacles. The emotional component can be regulated due to the feedback mechanism. Such feedback makes a system stronger, pushes it toward changes corresponding to already existing direction of an individual’s movement aimed to overcome difference between the actual and desired systemic states. The balanced feedback pulls into the opposite direction to restore a lost balance. It stabilizes the system and prevents new changes. The cognitive component in the structure of stress tolerance had its mechanisms of cognitive regulation: assimilation and dissimilation, encouraging appearance of new personal traits. Self-regulation as a stress overcoming act is possible due to an individual’s volitional qualities. The volitional mechanisms for stress tolerance are: persistence and meaningfulness, objectivity and integrity. The further research will include development of a program for stress tolerance improvement.

Abstract.FAMILY FUNCTIONING, PERSONALITY AND LIFE SATISFACTION IN MARRIED COUPLESTheory and research suggest that the personality characteristics that each spouse brings to a relationship are related to marital and life satisfaction. Furthermore, a variety of studies have shown that Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness are strongly related to relationship satisfaction, which in turn benefits spouses’ satisfaction with life in general. Regarding family functioning, familial cohesion, defined as the degree of togetherness or closeness or emotional bonding that family members have toward one another, was found to be correlated with inter-personal well-being and satisfaction in adults. On the one hand, there haven‘t been specific study yet which investigate the influence of personality characteristics of family members and spouses on individual well-being mediated by family and marital functioning. On the other hand, analyses looking at gender differences are inconsistent. Until now, there haven’t been found any consistent indications regarding similar vs. dissimilar partner’s personality characteristics to be predictors of satisfaction in married couples. The present study aims to identify the personality effects on family functioning and spouses’ life satisfaction, as well as gender differences. One hundred eighty-seven married couples (N=374) completed the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10), “Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale” (FACES III) y the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The data were analysed using paired sample t-test, ANOVAs, bivariate correlations and multiple regressions. The results indicated significant associations between spouses’ satisfaction with life, personality traits and family functioning revealing different patterns for wife and husband. Spouses’ personality traits and familial cohesion were found to be significant predictors of satisfaction. We conclude that couples resemble each other psychologically but the relationship that we found between the evaluated variables has greater relevance for women than for their husbands.Keywords: Life satisfaction, Big Five personality, Family functioning, Gender differences, Married couplesResumen.Los estudios sobre las parejas casadas señalan que las características de personalidad de cada uno de los cónyuges, están relacionadas con la satisfacción en la pareja. Las investigaciones indican que Neuroticismo, Amabilidad y Responsabilidad son los factores de personalidad relacionados con la satisfacción matrimonial, que a su vez promueve la satisfacción vital de los cónyuges en general. Con respecto al funcionamiento familiar, la dimensión de cohesión familiar, definida como vínculos afectivos entre los miembros de la familia, ha sido identificada como variable predictora del bienestar subjetivo. Las investigaciones específicas sobre la influencia que tienen los rasgos de personalidad de las parejas casadas sobre el funcionamiento familiar y marital son escasas. Tampoco existen resultados concluyentes sobre las diferencias de género, y la importancia de personalidades similares vs. diferentes como predictores de la satisfacción en la pareja. El objetivo del estudio es identificar la influencia de las características de personalidad y del funcionamiento familiar sobre la satisfacción con la vida en las relaciones de pareja, así como especificar las diferencias de género. Los participantes fueron 187 parejas casadas (N=374) con edades comprendidas entre los 27 y 54 años que complementaron el “Big Five Inventory“ (BFI-10), la Escala de la Cohesión y Adaptabilidad Familiar (CAF) y la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS). Se realizaron pruebas t de Student para muestras relacionadas, análisis de varianzas, correlaciones bivariadas de Pearson y análisis de regresión lineal múltiple. Los resultados indican que existen asociaciones significativas entre personalidad, funcionamiento familiar y satisfacción con patrones diferentes para mujeres y hombres. Así como que existen diferencias de género en la predicción de la variable satisfacción. Concluimos que las parejas se parecen entre sí a nivel psicológico, pero la relación entre las variables evaluadas tiene una mayor relevancia para las mujeres que para sus maridos.Palabras clave: Satisfacción con la vida, Cinco Grandes de Personalidad, Funcionamiento familiar, Diferencias de género, Parejas casadas

The aim of this study is to investigate relationship between social and psychological indicators and the difficulties to adapt to the state of emergency during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary data from the survey (N = 2608, men 39.8%, aged from 18 – 74) carried out in July 2020, in the frame of the National research program (VPP-COVID-2020/1-0011) was used in this study. Data of only some demographic questions (age, gender, education, place of residence, family status, number of children, employment status, and changes in the workload), 6 items as proxy measures of 6 personality traits (persistence, openness, hostility, extraversion, pessimism, and rigidity), Resilience scale, Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire (ERSQ-27) and Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised version (SPRP-S) as well as answers on a criterion statement: “Overall it was very difficult for me to adapt to the state of emergency” were used. Results showed that it was more difficult to adapt to the state of emergency for such demographic groups as females, persons lining in an urban area, and for those, who have experience changes (in any direction) in their workload. Results of the series of stepwise linear regression analysis showed that Negative problem orientation, Avoidance style of social problem solving, Psychological resilience (negatively), Rigidity and Extraversion are prognostic psychological factors of the difficulties to adapt to lockdown. Based on the results of this study a more targeted recommendations and interventions to enhance the psychological resilience and adaptability to the changes associated with the COVID-19 crisis for the particular groups of the Latvian population could be developed.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is aimed at theoretical insight into phenomenology of psychological manifestations of love styles, identified by J. A. Lee, the Canadian sociologist, who used types of love described by ancient Greek philosophers as a basis for his classification. The author employs a number of aspects as the criteria for the analysis of essential characteristics of love styles: differentially expressed features of feelings, self-awareness, social perception, types of human relationships (suggested by J. L. Moreno and M. Buber), ways of realization of inward human nature (described by E. S. Fromm), level of sense of community and compensation mechanism for inferiority feeling (conceptualized by A. Adler). As a result of the theoretical study, the author outlined six psychological types of love: passionate love-admiration (eros), hedonistic love (ludus), love-friendship (storge), practical love (pragma), obsessive love (mania), altruistic love (agape). Theoretical representations of psychological types of love, formulated upon carrying out the phenomenological analysis, and application of substantive deductive construction strategy for psychological inventories enabled the author to design a diagnostic technique for psychological types of love. To test the technique, the author conducted the empirical study that involved 143 participants (89 women and 54 men) aged 18–32 (mean age = 22). The paper gives the reliability indicators for six scales of the diagnostic technique for the psychological types of love and the results of its convergent validation that prove good psychometric applicability of the designed psychodiagnostic tools and their differential diagnostic potential. The study revealed correlations of degree of psychological types of love with some sustainable personality traits (R. B. Cattell’s technique) and indicators of social and psychological adaptability.

Professional training of future teachers in the twenty-first century is impossible without taking into account its global context. For professional success in a rapidly changing world, new personality traits are required: mobility, flexibility, adaptability, tolerance. In this regard, the internationalization of pedagogical education and the teaching profession is becoming a global trend today.The purpose of this article is to analyze the current situation of academic mobility in the Republic of Kazakhstan, identify barriers that hinder the development of academic mobility of students, experimentally test the effectiveness of the orientation course on academic mobility for students. In order to provide pedagogical support and develop motivation for academic mobility of students at the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, we have developed and implemented an orientation course for 2nd year undergraduate students «Student Mobility: Opportunities and Prospects» in the first semester of 2020, which prepared and acquainted future teachers with the possibilities of international academic mobility programs and the features of credit technology of education. According to the results of the introductory course of the second year bachelor’s degree, changes were noted in the motivational component of readiness for academic mobility of students in the experimental group. In conclusion, we noted that to provide pedagogical support of future teacher for academic mobility at the university , it is necessary to use various kinds of programmes in the educational process in order to increase readiness of students for academic mobility. It is also necessary to carry out systematic pedagogical support of students for academic mobility, to involve tutors, advisers, teachers, coordinators of the international department to eliminate linguistic, organizational, informational, resource, normative, meaningful barriers to academic mobility of future teachers.

The content of other educational documents and official publications in the media, as well as the results of correspondence (through chatting and e-mail) with representatives of training courses and leading training centers, answers to information requests to state authorities responsible for functioning contract system, – have been taken into account.Based on the results of the analysis, the following key positions, allowing us to observe fundamental differences in the training of public procurement specialists in the West and East countries: the degree of state participation in the regulation of the training system and the degree of severity of the educational function in the formation of the necessary level of legal awareness of procurement specialists have been highlighted. It has been established, that in the United States and Great Britain, private licensed organizations compete with each other in providing such educational services to those involved in the training of public procurement specialists. In China, due to the presence of problems in the fight against corruption in the actions of state customers, the closest attention is paid to the formation of the necessary personality traits of officials to minimize the risks of committing offenses in contractual legal relations.

Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a disease which carries a considerable social impact in Bulgaria and across the world because of its high prevalence. Research literature has recently included lots of studies investigating the effects of diabetes mellitus on the quality of life of diabetic patients and also many instruments to assess these effects. Quality of life is a concept that encompasses an individual‘s subjective perception of physical, emotional and social wellbeing, including both a cognitive component (satisfaction) and an emotional component (happiness). We review and analyse in the present article major determinants of disease-specific quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the tools used for assessment. RESULTS: Fourteen instruments for measuring quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) met our search criteria. Their contents covered different quality-of-life domains or indicators - typical diabetes symptoms, general health and quality of life, personality traits, physical functioning, mental and social well-being, treatment and quality of life. Most of the disease-specific tools had been field tested and data about their reliability and validity have been reported. Few tools had been subjected to formal assessment of their adaptability to changes. CONCLUSIONS: Of the instruments we assessed the most promising approaches for measuring the diabetes-specific quality of life are offered by ADDQoL, DСP and WBQ. Patients were involved in the development of these tools which have been shown by a number of studies to have good internal reliability, external and construct validity. Efforts are being continually made worldwide to develop a standard ensuring valid, reliable, easy to use tool for assessing quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in order to promote patients integration into society.

In this paper, we apply such a complex indicator of student achievement to study the effect of sporting habits on higher education students achievement in Romania and Hungary in the Partium region. We created a complex indicator based on 12 dimensions and re-coded the index to a binominal variable: measuring above-the-average and high-performing student achievement. Consequently, our main research question is whether sporting habits contribute to becoming a member of the above-the-average or high-performing student groups. In our analysis, we control for the effect of social background variables and examine also the effects of subjective wellbeing (happiness and life satisfaction), self-assessment on health and resilience (mental fitness, flexibility, adaptability to changed conditions) as the positive influence of these latter factors on student achievement has been verified by others and our previous studies as well. In the frame of our research, Higher Education for Social Cohesion Cooperative Research and Development in a Cross-border Area (HERD, HURO/0901/253/2.2.2.) a survey was carried out in the three countries of the Partium region (Hungary, Romania, Ukraine). The Ukrainian subsample was eliminated from the current analysis due to low headcounts and biased effects, thus our database included 2619 students. According to our results free-time sporting, subjective health status and resilience increase the likelihood to belong to the above-the-average group, while the two regular forms of sporting and mental fitness promote students to belong to the high-performing group. The level of subjective well-being decreases the likelihood to belong to both student groups. These support the assumption that sporting students are more engaged towards their studies and work as well and consider their studies as more meaningful. Such an attitude serves as a motivational factor for finishing their studies even more successfully, continuing their studies even at the doctoral level. These positive personality traits, values and attitudes that are also related to sporting define advantages in academic and personal lives and the labour market through the transfer-effect of sports.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Enuresis is a pathological condition, manifested by involuntary urination during sleep or in the wakeful state. It is believed that enuresis is associated with unformed or impaired self-control skills for emptying the bladder. The significance of the problem is determined by the widespread prevalence of pathology, social and psychological maladaptation of children with enuresis. An important role in this plays the development of their personality by an accentuated type often, difficult adaptability, and lack of ability to integrate into the team, especially into the semi or closed type. According to modern concepts, enuresis can be caused by the following reasons: delayed maturation of the nervous system, urological pathology and urinary tract infection, impaired activation reaction during sleep, impaired rhythm of secretion of antidiuretic hormone, adverse heredity, psychological factors and stress. The results of Russian and foreign scientists studies revealed the polyetiological character of enuresis and the impossibility, in most cases, of identifying its obvious cause. This explains the relatively wide variability of outcomes: from spontaneous cure to apparent resistance to all existing treatments. The significant prevalence of enuresis, the relative severity of this pathology and the lack of effective treatment methods necessitate the search for alternative methods of therapy or fundamentally new approaches to using existing ones, which is impossible without a thorough study of this disease etiopathogenesis.The goal of research — is to study the neurophysiological characteristics of enuresis in children.Materials and methods. Prospective controlled study was conducted in Kazan State Medical Academy — a branch of the RMACPE (Kazan) in the period 2003–2019 years. To study enuresis mechanisms we carried out a comprehensive clinical-electroneurophysiological examination of 93 children aged 5 to 15 years, suffering from bedwetting. The control group consisted of 40 healthy children who were comparable in age and gender to those in the main group. All patients underwent a comprehensive examination, which included the study of complaints, anamnesis, clinical and electroneurophysiological research.Results. Clinical examination of children with enuresis revealed signs of minimal cerebral dysfunction. An electrophysiological examination made it possible to determine an increase in the refl ex excitability of brain stem structures against the background of a decrease in downward inhibitory control.Conclusion. The predominance of excitation processes over inhibition in the central nervous system is mainly observed in children with enuresis. The weakness of the inhibitory mechanisms due to constitutional factors, pathology of the nervous system that took place earlier, allows making an assumption about the diffuse nature of the disorders of the nervous system in this urination disorder.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing upon career construction theory, we examined the mediating effect of deliberate practice (DP) on career adaptability (CA) and the effects of learning goal orientation (LGO) and supervisor incompetence accusations (SIA) as well as career development training (CDT) on DP. Using data collected from 204 Chinese PhD students in three waves over a period of 2 months, we found that individuals who were inclined to learn new skills and obtain new knowledge were more likely to deliberately practice professional activities in their fields. When a PhD student’s professional competence was questioned by his or her supervisor, the student was more prone to negative emotions and would reduce his or her effort in the development of expertise. CDT – contrary to expectations – negatively predicted DP of professional activities. One possible reason is that the participants in this study have strong autonomy so that those who really struggling are participating in training and seeking help and those who with strong professional abilities are not accessing training programs. Moreover, results showed that DP of professional activities significantly promoted PhD students to adapt to their academic circumstances. Implications for career-related practice within the academic domain are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Strike is known as a socio-economic phenomenon in the field of industrial relations, with no significant cost management. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of personality traits and psychological health of work environment on strike intention among nurses in Yazd province.
Methods: The present study is applied and it is descriptive - survey. Statistical population consists of all nurses of Yazd province, among which 376 people were selected Stratified Random Sampling. For collecting data, two type of questionnaire were used. For assessing the strike intention, a researcher - made questionnaire was used. Also, for measuring personality traits and psychological health of the workplace, the standard questionnaire of Costa& McCrae (1992) and Mehdad (1389) was used. The validity of the standard questionnaire was confirmed by content validity. Reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha. It should be mentioned that the validity of the "strike intention" questionnaire was also investigated using structural validity. In order to analyze the data, SPSS 21 and LISREL 8.8 software were used.
Results: According to the results of the study, the psychological health of the workplace has the greatest effect on strike reduction. Among the dimensions of neoclassical personality traits, Extraversion has a direct and significant effect on strike intention. After Extraversion, openness and neuroticism have a significant effect. Adaptability is the only personality trait that has no significant effect on strike intention. Also, the psychological health of the workplace in the desired state, and the intention of striking among nurses is lower than the average.
Conclusion: Hospital managers should identify the personality traits of the employees and provide personal profile staff to prepare to meet the crises. It is also necessary to evaluate the psychological health dimensions of the workplace on an annual basis, and the organization's fitness status in the strike management is investigated.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThis study aims to investigate the specific role of the components of ability-based emotional intelligence (their relative importance) in building different aspects of career adaptabilities and job-search success of university students.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed survey data from 729 full-time students enrolled in an Indian university. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to test the hypotheses, and the size of indirect effect was tested using SPSS PROCESS macro.FindingsThe ability-based emotional intelligence, along with the use and regulation of emotion in job-search success, plays a significant role in shaping career adaptabilities and job-search success. The ability to use and regulate emotions does have its impact on job-search success through a self-regulatory psychological resource of control and confidence over one's career. Self-emotional appraisal is necessary for an individual to be concerned for a career which forms the initiation of any job-search.Research limitations/implicationsAbility-based approach of enhancing emotional intelligence allows the university students to take a developmental approach in employment. This approach benefits the more “targeted approach to training interventions” provided by various stakeholders in the university, associated with career and employment.Originality/valueFurther, the study focuses on the psychological difficulties (over operational) faced by students in their employment endeavour. Both emotions and psychological resources are believed to play an important role in the career intervention. For instance, past researches have studied trait-based emotional intelligence as a personality construct. However, this study considers emotional intelligence as an ability-based aspect of intelligence, which “readily lends itself to interventions that can be enhanced through targeted training, coaching or counselling”.

В статье отражены результаты эмпирического исследования индивидуально-психологических особенностей студентов различных этнических групп процессе адаптации к условиям проживания в студенческих общежитиях. Данная работа обусловлена необходимостью расширения области исследования взаимодействия во внутривузовской среде за счет включения межэтнического компонента. При этом учитываются основные особенности астраханского региона, исконно объединяющего на своей территории представителей различных этнических групп. В исследовании были применены психодиагностические методики: 1) многоуровневый личностный опросник «Адаптивность» (А.Г. Маклаков, С.В. Чермянин); 2) методика «Определения интегральных форм коммуникативных агрессивности» (В.В. Бойко); 3) экспресс-опросник «Индекс толерантности» (Г.У. Солдатова, О.А. Кравцова, О.Е. Хухлаев, Л.А. Шайгерова). Анализ результатов исследования позволяет сделать вывод о том, что группы с различными уровнями адаптивности различаются по такому показателю как «агрессивность», то есть студенты младших курсов имеющих такую черту личности как агрессивность обладают меньшими способностями к адаптации в новой среде, в том числе, к условиям проживания в студенческих общежитиях. Во внутривузовской среде исследование межэтнического взаимодействия может стать ключом к пониманию причин и динамики возникающих конфликтных ситуаций. В связи с этим, мы видим возможность использования результатов проведенного эмпирического исследования в практике урегулирования межэтнических конфликтов во внутривузовской среде. The article reflects the results of an empirical study of individual psychological characteristics of students of various ethnic groups in the process of adaptation to living conditions in student dormitories. This work is due to the need to expand the field of research of interaction in the intra-university environment by including an interethnic component. This takes into account the main features of the Astrakhan region, which traditionally unites representatives of various ethnic groups on its territory. The study used psychodiagnostic techniques: 1) multilevel personality questionnaire "Adaptability" (A.G. Maklakov, S.V. Chermyanin); 2) the methodology "Determination of integral forms of communicative aggressiveness" (V.V. Boyko); 3) express questionnaire "Index of Tolerance". (G.U. Soldatova, O.A. Kravtsova, O.E. Khukhlaev, L.A. Shaigerova). Analysis of the research results allows us to conclude that groups with different levels of adaptability differ in terms of such an indicator as "aggressiveness", that is, junior students with such a personality trait as aggressiveness have less ability to adapt to a new environment, including to conditions living in student hostels. In the intra-university environment, the study of interethnic interaction can become the key to understanding the causes and dynamics of emerging conflict situations. In this regard, we see the possibility of using the results of the empirical research in the practice of resolving interethnic conflicts in the intra-university environment.

PurposeUsing career construction theory, the authors empirically examine the mechanism by which career adaptability promotes employee subjective career success (career satisfaction and career commitment) through job crafting.Design/methodology/approachA moderated mediation model is tested using survey data from 324 full-time business professionals in France. Hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling (SEM).Findingshe authors found that job crafting mediated the relationship between career adaptability and subjective career success (career satisfaction and career commitment). The positive effect of career adaptability on job crafting was greater under higher levels of lone wolf personality and positive perfectionism, as was the indirect effect of career adaptability on subjective career success via job crafting.Research limitations/implicationsdata are cross-sectional in nature. Robust theoretical contentions and affective means of identifying common method variance (CMV) are addressed and evaluated.Practical implicationsHigh levels of career adaptability may be a useful strategy for promoting employee job crafting and subjective career success. In addition, individuals with lone wolf personality and positive perfectionism should be given opportunities to craft their jobs in the workplace.Originality/valueThis research confirms a moderated mediation model positioning job crafting as a mediator of career adaptability's effects on employee subjective career success and lone wolf and positive perfectionism as moderators of such effects. This study suggests that job crafting and career-focused personality traits are important factors that influence the relationship between career adaptability and subjective career success.

Career adaptability is a prerequisite for ensuring college students’ career development and effectively solving career-related problems. Given that secure attachment positively contributes to adaptive functioning, this study examined the mediating effect of South Korean college students’ maladaptive perfectionism on the relation between adult attachment insecurity and career adaptability. Further, gender differences in the mediational pathways from attachment insecurity to career adaptability were investigated. Participants include 212 college students (male = 49.1%, female = 50.9%) aged between 19 and 31 years ( Mage= 22.50, SD = 2.15) living in South Korea. Results indicated that for male and female students, the relation between attachment insecurity and career adaptability is mediated by maladaptive perfectionism. The multigroup analysis revealed that the relations between attachment insecurity, maladaptive perfectionism, and career adaptability differed by gender. These results emphasize the importance of understanding college students’ personality profiles and supporting their career adaptability based on their personality traits.
