Openness to Experience: A Predictor of Technology Use at Any Age?Ojalvo, Olivia 01 January 2018 (has links)
Technology is an integral part of both modern culture and day-to-day communication. Older adults' relationships with technology are completely different than younger adults' because of the way they have learned to incorporate it into their lives. Past research has shown that certain personality traits can predict technology use in younger adults. The current research hopes to take that finding and see if it applies to older adults, too. Four hypotheses were generated. Participants took a survey that consisted of five different scales and measures. Participants also were asked to answer demographic questions. Independent-sample t-tests and bivariate correlations were run on the data. Results showed that general technology use was not significantly correlated to a participant's age. There were significant correlations between the two age groups and psychological well-being, feelings of attachment to peers, technology use subscales and sensation seeking subscales. Future studies should examine the possible relationship of technology use subscales amongst the older population and their attitudes towards technology.

Personlighetsdrag och studenters attityder till akademisk oärlighetKlang, Sammy, Ye, Biao January 2024 (has links)
Denna studie undersöker om vilka olika personlighetsdrag hos studenter som har ett samband med akademisk oärlighet. Studien delar upp akademisk oärlighet i följande fem kategorier: plagiering, fusk under tentamen, otillåten hjälp, oetiskt samarbete och manipulering av inlämningsarbeten. Datainsamlingen genomfördes via en enkät med 48 frågor genom ett bekvämlighetsurval, antalet studenter som deltog var 324, varav 240 kvinnor och 80 män och 4 valde att inte ange kön. En korrelationsanalys och regressionsanalys genomfördes för att undersöka sambanden mellan variablerna personlighetsdrag i relation till akademisk oärlighet. Den multipla regressionsanalysen visade ett signifikant samband mellan akademisk oärlighet och personlighetsdragen oärlighet, öppenhet och ålder. Oärlighet visade sig vara starkast prediktor till akademisk oärlighet, vilket tyder på att högre nivåer i oärlighet tenderar att öka risken för akademiskt oärligt beteende. Studiens slutsats är att personlighetsdragen oärlighet och öppenhet, samt ålder visar ett signifikant samband i relation till akademisk oärlighet.

PERSONALITY STABILITY IN VICTIMS OF PARENTAL PHYSICAL ABUSE : A LONGITUDINAL STUDYCatibusic, Linnéa-Rebecka January 2019 (has links)
Very little is known about the effects of parental physical abuse on personality stability in adults. Thus, this study aimed to examine if parental physical abuse had an effect on personality stability over time above and beyond the effects of age and anxiety/depression. Furthermore, the study aimed to examine if gender differences could be found in personality stability even after controlling for the effects of parental physical abuse, age an anxiety/depression. The data used in the present study came from published datasets from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) studies and included a sample of 3,265 adults aged between 20 and 72 years at wave 1, 45.1% were males (M = 45.39, SD = 11.05) and 54.9% were females (M =45.36, SD = 11.27). Significant gender differences emerged in all of the Big Five personality traits. Parental physical abuse had no effect on any of the personality traits or their stability. Future research could take into consideration the limitations of this study in order to obtain better knowledge of the effects of physical abuse on personality stability. Practical implications regarding how therapy and social support affect the aftermath of abuse have been discussed.

Personality traits and learning approaches : are they influencing the learning process?Dalton-Brits, E., Viljoen, M. January 2010 (has links)
Published Article / The relationship between the big five personality traits, Extraversion, Agreeableness Neuroticism, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience and deep and surface approaches to learning forms the basis of this article. The findings of a research study in this milieu will be presented to prove that earlier studies in this field have been upheld, but that an important deviation has occurred on certain levels of personality. A students way of learning implies the type of learning that is taking place. Ultimately we as lecturers want to encourage deep learning as this stimulates retention of information, important in production of students that are ready for employment.

The relationship between organisational trust and quality of work lifeVan der Berg, Yolandi 02 1900 (has links)
Recent organisational changes have refocused attention on the productivity and performance of sales representatives and consequently brought about a re-evaluation of the QWL these employees experience, as well as their trust in the organisation to support them.
Responses to an internet-based survey methodology were analysed using quantitative techniques and structural equation modelling. Results confirm a positive relationship between Managerial Practices and Organisational Trust, and a lower relationship between the dimensions of Personality and Organisational Trust. A positive relationship was noted between QWL and Managerial Practices, and a lower relationship between QWL and the Personality constructs.
This study accentuates the importance of management to be aware of the trust employees have in the organisation as well as their experience of QWL, as it seems as though the Personality traits and Managerial Practices of managers influences both the trust relationship and QWL experienced by employees. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

Personlighetsanpassat ledarskap / Personality-adapted leadershipAhlström Rundbom, Lina, Olson, Madeleine January 2016 (has links)
Vi har i vår forskningsöversikt inte hittat någon beskrivning på hur ledarskap kan anpassas tillmedarbetares olika personlighetstyper. Vårt syfte med studien var således att ta reda på hurolika typer av ledarskap kan anpassas till anställdas olika personlighetstyper för att uppnåstörsta möjlighet till utveckling av deras motivation. Vilket är en bidragande faktor till ettföretags utveckling och bör därför ligga i ledarens intresse. Med hjälp av två olikapersonlighetsklassificeringsmodeller, teorier om ledarskap och motivation samt empiri hämtatfrån ledare i arbetslivet har vi studerat vad för typ av ledarskap som fungerar för modellernasolika personlighetstyper. Med hjälp av kvalitativ forskningsstrategi har vi använt oss avtvärsnittsdesign samt en öppen och sex semistrukturerade intervjuer för att uppnå studienssyfte.Genom vår studie kan vi på ett tydligt sätt visa på att de personligheter vi utgått ifrån kräverolika typ av ledarskap, motiveras av olika faktorer och att situationen kan ha stor inverkan pånär ett visst ledarskap passar. Resultatet av vår studie har utformats till två tabeller utifrån depersonlighetsklassificeringsmodeller vi använt oss av. Tabellerna presenterar vilkenledarskapsteori som passar till vilken personlighetstyp. Studien resulterade även i ettkonstaterande att ledare bör använda sig av relationsinriktat ledarskap i grunden ochkomplettera det med uppgiftsinriktat ledarskap, för att finna de anställdas motivation och ledadem på ett framgångsrikt sätt. / In the research of this study we found a gap regarding information on how to adapt leadershipto employees of various personalities. Our purpose was now to fill that research gap. In ourstudy on personality-adapted leadership, we found that all kinds of personalities have variouspreferences to be led. Using two different personality classification models, theories ofleadership and motivation as well as empirical evidence drawn from Business leaders, wehave studied which kind of leadership that works best for models of different personalitytypes. With the help of a cross-section design, qualitative methods together with semistructuredinterviews we were able to combine the theories we used with the empiricalevidence. Accordingly, our purpose is to acknowledge how leadership can be adapted todifferent personalities to achieve the greatest opportunity for the development of theirmotivation. This is a contributing factor to the development of a company and shouldtherefore be in the leader’s interest.As a conclusion our study shows how different personalities demand certain kinds ofleadership, that they get motivated by a wide range of factors and that various situations canhave a big effect where a certain leadership is most suitable. The result of our study has led totwo tables based on the personality classification models, which show which leadershiptheory fits the different kinds of personality types. The study also shows that leaders shouldadapt a relationship-oriented leadership and complement it with a task-oriented one in order tofind their employees motivation and be able to lead them in a successful way.

Personlighet, val av utbildning och prestation : en studie av svenska studenter inom humaniora och ekonomi / Personality, choice of college major and performance : a study on Swedish students in humanities and economicsBadin, Iulia January 2016 (has links)
Inom ramarna för Femfaktormodellen var det övergripande syftet med föreliggande studie att undersöka relationen mellan personlighet och val av utbildning respektive akademisk prestation på den valda utbildningen i ett svenskt stickprov. Vidare undersöktes om Hollands (1997) teori, som utvecklades för snart 20 år sedan i USA, kan vara av betydelse i dagens Sverige. Totalt deltog 177 studenter som vid tidspunkten för datainsamlingen läste program inom humaniora (N = 121) eller ekonomi (N = 56) vid olika svenska universitet. Dessa fyllde i en webbenkät innehållande IPIP-NEO-PI testet (Goldberg, 1999) samt frågor om utbildning, prestation och yrkesintressen enligt RIASEC – modellen (Holland, 1997). Multivariata kovariansanalyser visade att det finns skillnader i personlighet mellan humaniorastudenter och ekonomistudenter som dessutom verkar inte bero på socialisationsprocessen. Separata korrelationsanalyser för de två grupperna visade på skillnader i samband mellan personlighet och prestation beroende på utbildning. Multipla linjära regressionsanalyser visade att det inte är samma personlighetsfaktorer som predicerar prestation då endast humaniorastudenterna undersöktes och då hela urvalet undersöktes vilket kan vara ett tecken på att olika personlighetsfaktorer predicerar prestation i olika utbildningar. Slutligen visade resultatet på skillnader i utbildningsmiljöer mellan humaniora och ekonomi utifrån RIASEC modellen. För gruppen humaniora, men inte för ekonomi, visade resultatet också på att ”fit” mellan individens profil och typ av utbildningsmiljö ledde till högre prestation. Dessa resultat diskuteras i relation till tidigare forskning inom området. I ett bredare perspektiv diskuteras också innebörden av dessa resultat både för praktiken samt vilka aspekter framtida studier bör ta hänsyn till. / Within the framework of the Big Five factor model, the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between personality and choice of college major as well as academic performance in a Swedish sample. A secondary aim was to test whether Hollands (1997) vocational choice theory, which was developed for almost 20 years ago in the United States, could be meaningful for Sweden in present-days. A total of 177 students enrolled in college majors within Humanities (N = 121) and Economics (N = 56) from several Swedish universities used a web-based survey to complete the IPIP-NEO-PI inventory (Goldberg, 1999) and to answer questions about their studies, their academic performance and vocational interests according to the RIASEC model (Holland, 1997). Multivariate covariance analyses showed that there were personality differences between humanities students and economics students that seem to pre-exist rather than to be a consequence of a socialization process. Correlation analyses, separate for the two groups, showed different associations of personality factors with performance across groups. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the personality factors that predict performance were different when only data from humanities students was analysed and when data from the whole sample was analysed which can be interpreted as if the personality factors that predict performance are different across majors. Finally, results showed that there are differences between educational environments of humanities and economics according to the RIASC model. For humanities students, but nor for economics students, the results also showed that “fit” between the individuals profiles and the profile of the environment leads to higher performance. These results are discussed in relation to previous research in the field. From a wider perspective the implications for practice of these results are discussed as well as insights about aspects needed to be considered in future research.
