ABSTRACT
Background: This study investigates variables of age; openness to experiences, agreeableness,conscientiousness, extraversion and neuroticism explained by McCrae and Costa in Big Five theory; andits correlation with loneliness.Methods: Through method of convenience sampling, 15 participants were chosen between age group of 19to 25 years and 15 participants in the age group 40 to 50 years. Big Five Inventory (John, O.P., Srivastava,S.; 1999) and Revised UCLA Loneliness scale, 3rdversion (Russell, D., Peplau, L.A., Cutrona, C.E.; 1980)were used to collect personality dimension scores and loneliness score. Statistical procedure of multipleregression and correlation was used.Results: Results displayed a positive correlation between neuroticism and loneliness for both age groups19 to 25 years and 40 to 50 years. However, there was a negative correlation between conscientiousnessand loneliness for age group 19 to 25 years; and negative correlation between extraversion and lonelinessfor age group 40 to 50 years.Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between certain personality traitsand loneliness for specific age groups
ABSTRACT
Este trabalho discute como a abertura a novas experiências se relaciona à forma como o sujeito percebe, significa e cuida do corpo e de sua saúde estética. Participaram do estudo 159 estudantes universitários, que responderam a Escala de Abertura a Experiências (EFA) e a Escala de Atitudes em Saúde e Estética (EASE). Os dados foram correlacionados e compreendidos a partir da teoria de formação da personalidade de Jeffrey Young. A correlação sugeriu que pessoas menos imaginativas e mais convencionais, pouco abertas a experiências novas, se preocupam mais com o corpo, indicando submissão a padrões sociais de beleza. Cognições, emoções e comportamentos perpetuados nas relações desenvolvidas na família e no círculo de relações afetivas infantis ampliadas e a própria cultura colocam o corpo e a beleza como meio de aceitação e inserção social. Esquemas vinculados ao primeiro domínio esquemático de desconexão e rejeição podem ser o centro da personalidade desses sujeitos
The study discusses how openness to new experiences relates to how the subject perceives, means and cares for the body and its aesthetic health. Participating in the study were 159 university students who responded to the Openness to Experience Scale (EFA) and Health and Aesthetic Attitudes Scale (EASE). The data were correlated and understood from the personality formation theory of Jeffrey Young. The correlation suggested that people less imaginative and more conventional, little open to new experiences, are more concerned with the body, indicating submission to social standards of beauty. Cognitions, emotions and behaviors perpetuated in the relationships developed in the family and in the circle of extended child affective relations and the culture itself place the body and the beauty as a means of acceptance and social insertion. Schemes linked to the first schematic domain of disconnection and rejection may be the center of personality of these subjects
ABSTRACT
This study examined ways to improve fit and interpretive capacity of the M5-50, an IPIP-based personality instrument, using the Openness/Intellect model (O/I) given a history of poor performance of the M5-50 Openness scale (Socha, Cooper, & McCord, 2010). With participants from Amazon's MTurk (n = 305), theoretical models for the five-factor model, Openness as a 10-item single factor, and the O/I model were tested and fitted poorly. After removing one problematic item, the O/I model showed acceptable fit. Findings indicate that the O/I model improved psychometric validity and interpretive capacity for the M5-50. The flexibility and open access of IPIP-based instruments such as the M5-50 makes the IPIP an optimal choice for instrument adaptation and construction in Latin America.
Este estudio examinó maneras de mejorar el ajuste y la capacidad interpretativa del M5-50, un instrumento de medición de la personalidad basado en el IPIP, utilizando el modelo Apertura/Intelecto (O/I por sus siglas en inglés) dado el historial de desempeño pobre de la escala de Apertura del M5-50 (Socha, Cooper, y McCord, 2010). Con participantes de Amazon MTurk (n = 305), se analizaron modelos teóricos para los cinco factores de la personalidad, Apertura como un factor individual de 10 ítems, y el modelo O/I; todos los análisis tuvieron ajustes deficientes. Luego de remover un ítem con problemas, el modelo O/I demostró ajuste aceptable. Los resultados indican que el modelo O/I mejoró la validez psicométrica y la capacidad de interpretación del M5-50. La flexibilidad y el acceso libre a los instrumentos basados en el IPIP, como ser el M5-50, hacen del IPIP una elección óptima para la adaptación y construcción de instrumentos en Latinoamérica.
ABSTRACT
Ordem do nascimento é definida como a posição ocupada por uma pessoa conforme a sua idade entre seus irmãos e irmãs. Abertura à experiência é uma das cinco dimensões básicas da personalidade. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar a relação entre ordem do nascimento e abertura à experiência em uma amostra de 472 estudantes universitários (média de idades = 24,6 anos; DP= 8,8). Os resultados indicaram efeitos distintos para homens e mulheres quanto à influência da ordem do nascimento. Os resultados são discutidos em termos de possíveis particularidades culturais e do delineamento metodológico empregado para a avaliação da personalidade
Birth order is defined as a person's rank by age among his or her siblings. Openness to experience is one of five major domains of personality. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between birth order and openness to experience in a sample of 472 university students (mean age = 24.6 years; SD = 8.8). Results showed distinct effects for men and women regarding the influence of birth order. Authors discuss the results in light of possible cultural features and of the personality assessment method employed
