TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the factorial and content validity of Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being (SPWB) in a sample of psychology students (N=233).

TL;DR: In this article, the construct and criterion-related validity of an ability-based measure of EI (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2000b) were examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared men and women in terms of the extent to which they use specific cognitive emotion regulation strategies in response to the experience of life stress and whether the use of these strategies is related to the reporting of depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a framework that essentially requires measuring behavior more generally, based on a theory of goal-directed performance, and tested a set of 50 behaviors by simultaneously applying a one and a six-dimensional Rasch-type model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of psychopathic individuals to process facial emotional expressions was investigated with a set of facial expressions depicting six emotions: happy, surprised, disgusted, angry, sad and fearful.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the factor structure and short-term temporal stability of the Revised Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaire (Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000) and found that the scale provided a reliable and replicable dual factor self-report measure of adult romantic attachment.

TL;DR: This paper explored the relation between individual decision-making styles as measured by the General Decision-making Style (GDMS) test, developed by Scott and Bruce (1995), and some mental abilities theoretically related to decision making.

TL;DR: In this article, celebrity attachment was investigated in a sample of 191 British adolescents between the ages of 11 and 16, using a shortened version of the Celebrity Attitude Scale and found that high emotional autonomy was a significant predictor of celebrity interest, as well as high attachment to peers and low attachment to parents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested hypotheses about the relationship between attachment orientations and emotional intelligence, measured as a set of abilities (perception, facilitation, understanding and management of emotion).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the associations between the personality variables of the five-factor model and close relationship variables (love styles, relationship satisfaction, and intimacy) and found that neuroticism was negatively associated with and predictive of satisfaction and intimacy.

TL;DR: This paper measured emotional intelligence, extraversion and agreeableness correlated moderately with total Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) (p. 6) and reported that extraversion was correlated with total trait meta-mood scale.

TL;DR: This article used item factor analysis to identify four dimensions of perceived emotional intelligence, leading to the construction of four corresponding empirical scales, including positive utilisation and emotional appraisal, followed by empathic sensitivity and positive regulation.

TL;DR: The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) as discussed by the authors was administered to 2105 high school students in Hong Kong and the results showed that the higher-order factors were completely redundant with the first-order factor of significant other support which appeared to measure both friends and family support.

TL;DR: A 33-item questionnaire constructed to assess individual differences in perceptual curiosity was administered to 320 undergraduate students (202 females; 118 males) as mentioned in this paper, and participants also responded to the trait scales of the State-Trait Personality Inventory (STPI), and to selected subscales of the Sensation Seeking (SSS) and Novelty Experiencing (NES) scales.

TL;DR: In this article, the correlations between personality traits and intelligence were examined in an in-depth examination of correlations between, and factor structure of, measured intelligence and personality scales chosen to measure the dimensions of Openness and need for achievement.

TL;DR: In this paper, two cognitive variables (self-efficacy and the consideration of future consequences) were proposed to mediate the procrastination-intentions relationship and found that weak intentions of procrastinators were mediated by a lower health-specific selfefficacy.

TL;DR: The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is the most widely used measure of the construct of narcissism as discussed by the authors, and four-and seven-factor solutions have been reported for the instrument.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the incremental validity of work values to predict enterprising and social vocational interests over and above personality traits in a sample of 178 undergraduate commercial engineering or commercial sciences seniors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the negative relationship between intelligence and conscientiousness and found that intelligence was negatively correlated with abstract reasoning (fluid intelligence), but not with verbal reasoning (crystallized intelligence).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between personality and primary exercise dependence symptoms and found that extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness predicted exercise dependence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between adult attachment behavior and alexithymia using questionnaire methods and found that moderate positive correlations were found among TAS total score and several ASQ subscales such as the Discomfort with Closeness (0.35), the Relationships as Secondary (0.,38), and the Need for Approval (0,41).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of neuroticism and attentional control in the development of childhood anxiety and found no support for Lonigan and Phillips' notion that in particular the interaction of these two variables is needed for developing high levels of anxiety.

TL;DR: In this article, a replication and extension of Rupp and Vodanovich's (1997) work on the role of boredom proneness in anger expression and aggression was presented. But, the authors did not consider the impact of impulsiveness and sensation seeking on the relationship between boredom and aggression.
