Självkänsla har befunnits ha en relation med de olika personlighetsdimensionerna i Big Five. Dock har olika självaspekters roll inte belysts i tidigare studier. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka relationen mellan inre och yttre aspekter av självkänsla och personlighet. Studien baseras på en enkätundersökning där 74 psykologistudenter på Stockholms universitet deltog. En multivariat variansanalys visade att en signifikant effekt av bassjälvkänsla och förvärvad självkänsla på Big Five dimensionerna fanns. De univariata testen visade att hög bassjälvkänsla resulterade i en signifikant högre extraversion, agreeableness och openness. En hög förvärvad självkänsla resulterade i en signifikant högre neuroticism samt en signifikant högre conscientiousness. En tendens till interaktionseffekt fanns vad gällde openness. Kombinationen av låg bassjälvkänsla och hög förvärvad självkänsla uppvisade lägst openness, det vill säga var särskilt benägen till rigiditet och konventionalitet.

Apresentamos uma pesquisa na área de Processamento de Linguagem Natural, para reconhecimento de personalidade com base em textos da língua portuguesa. Neste trabalho utilizamos textos provenientes da rede social Facebook, em conjunto com o modelo de personalidade dos Cinco Grandes Fatores, para construir um córpus rotulado com as personalidades de seus autores e, após a identificação das características mais relevantes para o reconhecimento de personalidade, construir modelos computacionais utilizando essas características. Utilizando-se métodos provenientes de léxicos, como o dicionário LIWC ou atributos psicolinguísticos, e métodos provenientes do próprio texto, como bag of words, representação distribuída de palavras e de documentos foram desenvolvidos modelos para reconhecimento de personalidade sem a necessidade de outros métodos mais comumente utilizados para essa tarefa, como inventários ou entrevistas com psicólogos. Os resultados dos métodos de representação distribuída são ligeiramente superiores do que os resultados utilizando o dicionário LIWC, com a vantagem de não exigirem recursos dependentes de um idioma específico / We present a research proposal in the Natural Language Processing field, to recognize personality through texts in the portuguese language. Using texts from the social network Facebook we built a corpus labeled with authors Big-5 personality traits, and after identifying the most relevant atributes to recognize personality, we built computational models based on those attributes. The model was expected to recognize personality without the help of any other methods commonly used in this task, such as inventories or interviews with psychologists. Using lexical methods such as the LIWC dictionary or psycholinguistic attributes, and methods from the text itself, such as bag of words, distributed representation of words and documents, we obtained models for personality recognition without the need of other methods most commonly used for this task. The results of distributed representation methods are slightly better than the results using the LIWC dictionary, with the advantage of not requiring features dependent on a specific language

Personality is something that sets every human being apart, yet it is something that has been quite hard to pinpoint. Recently, neuroscientists have begun pinning down the neural correlates of personality traits – with focus on the Big Five, sparking a whole new subfield within personality research, known as personality neuroscience. By using neuroscientific methods and techniques to find the underpinnings of the Big Five have led to a deeper and broader understanding of how genetics and the environment integrate into making individuals who they are. This research has also been helpful in the prediction of various outcomes e.g. academic performance and achievement and neuropsychological disorders. In this thesis, the supposed neural correlates of the Big Five are examined through thorough and critical investigations, where evidence from some of the existing relevant studies is reviewed and compared, as well as the different problems and complexities that the field of personality neuroscience is dealing with. The findings in this thesis shows that extraversion has neurobiological basis in the frontal areas of the brain, neuroticism with reduced volume in the frontal areas, agreeableness with frontoparietal areas that are related to theory of mind as well as temporal regions, conscientiousness with frontal parts that are associated with planning and goal-orientation, and openness/intellect with frontoparietal areas as well as subcortical regions, which have been linked with intelligence and creativity. However, some of the correlations were inconsistent and scattered and further research needs to be done. The analysis of academic achievement and performance, as well as neuropsychological disorders and the Big Five with neuroimaging as a method, have shown to be limited, thus much more research is needed.

Studiens syfte var att se vilka personlighetsegenskaper som anses vara nödvändiga inom polisyrket samt om dessa sammanfaller med Big Five dimensionerna.      Tidigare studier har utförts och påvisat samband mellan polislämplighet och personlighet. Det har påvisats en negativ samband mellan neuroticism och prestation inom polisyrket samt ett positivt samband mellan extraversion och prestation inom polisyrket.      För att belysa arbets- och personkrav för poliser intervjuades sex personer av både manligt och kvinnligt kön.

The on-line auction has become an important issue in Taiwan, due to the intense competition between e-Bay and Yahoo! auction. However the relative researches in Taiwan hasn¡¦t analyzed the bidding strategies of on-line auction bidders in detail. Therefore after reviewing relative literature, the motivation of using on-line auction, the characteristics of personality, the experience of internet and the involvement of product were saw as independent variables to discuss their relationships with bidding strategies, including the time of entering, the increment of bid, the numbers of bid and the degree of insistence in this research. Discovering the main factors affecting the time of entering are the experience of using on-line auction and the rating of bidder; the degree of exocentric in personality can affect the increment of bid; the motivation of using on-line auction and the involvement of product can affect the numbers of bid and the degree of insistence. Hence we can understand these four strategies were affected by different factors, and the forming of entire bidding strategies is very complicated. Going a step further, these four strategies were used to proceed cluster analysis, dividing the bidders into three groups¡G1. amateur bidders; 2. snipers; 3. impulsive bidders.

As it becomes more common for individuals to work in many different jobs throughout their lives, career adaptability becomes more important to understanding how individuals deal with this changing environment. This study examined the history and background of career adaptability and personality, as well as current research in the field. A total of 196 students from a large Midwestern university completed the Career Futures Inventory – Revised and a Big Five measure from the International Personality Item Pool to examine potential relationships between individual personality traits and career adaptability. Pearson correlations, linear and hierarchical regression analyses, and analysis of variance were used to analyze possible relationships. The results of the study indicated that 39.7% of career adaptability was accounted for by the Big Five personality traits. All five personality traits and career adaptability were moderately correlated and neuroticism, conscientiousness, and extraversion predicted participants’ overall career adaptability. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that career adaptability and career agency both predicted major satisfaction above and beyond personality. Key words: career adaptability, Big Five personality, major satisfaction
