Background: The aim of the study is to clarify the beliefs and numerous doubts about the possible identification of personality in handwriting. The purpose of the described studies was to show an association between personality traits and handwriting features. The author aimed to verify whether or not there are any specific characteristics of writing in relation to personality traits. | Method: Two different studies have been described. A different number of subjects participated in the investigations and different techniques for personality assessment were used; however, the same set of handwriting features was analyzed in each study. In the first study the NEO-FFI (n=260) was used, while the EPQ-R (n=180) was used in the second study. The graphic characteristics of the handwriting samples were examined by forensic experts. | Results: The correlations between the personality traits and handwriting features were counted. The results showed that there were few significant correlations between handwriting parameters and personality traits, as measured by the NEO-FFI and EPQ-R. | Conclusions: No writing characteristics were specific to personality traits. There is no evidence for assessment of personality on the base of handwriting.

This study attempts to show the structure of the concept of “hope” basing on the technique affective verbal fluency. Literature presents many theories of hope. Hope is defined as a motivational-cognitive construct, personality trait, and as prospective emotion. The newest conception by A.M. Krafft proposes the holistic view of hope which is rooted in values system and personality. In order to describe the cognitive structure of the concept of hope affective verbal fluency technique was used. A sample of 136 adult participants from the general population was investigated. The linguistic material was analyzed in terms of qualitative and quantitative aspects. The crucial was to identify semantic clusters. Then, the hierarchical cluster analysis was conducted which revealed two main components of the concept of hope, affective and cognitive. Next, the cluster analysis k-means method was used which showed the differentiation of hope concepts in different people/profiles of hope concept. Results indicate that affective verbal fluency technique is useful in the description of the structure of hope concept and the differentiation of this concept. The results basing on language showed lay-concept of hope which is consistent with scientific views of hope. The analysis of linguistic material allows describing differentiation of how lay people perceive hope.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie struktury pojęcia „nadzieja”, wyłonionej na podstawie techniki afektywnej fluencji werbalnej. W literaturze przedmiotu istnieje wiele koncepcji nadziei. Definiowana jest jako konstrukt motywacyjno-poznawczy, cecha osobowości oraz emocja prospektywna. Najnowsza koncepcja A.M. Kraffta ujmuje nadzieję holistycznie jako konstrukt wkomponowany w system wartości i osobowość człowieka. W celu dokonania opisu struktury tego pojęcia wykorzystano technikę afektywnej fluencji werbalnej. Badaniami objęto 136 osób dorosłych. Materiał językowy poddano jakościowym i ilościowym analizom. Kluczowe było wyodrębnienie klasterów semantycznych. Wykonano hierarchiczną analizę skupień, która ujawniła dwa główne komponenty struktury omawianego pojęcia: afektywny i poznawczy. Z kolei analiza skupień metodą k-średnich wykazała istnienie profili pojęcia „nadzieja”, tj. zróżnicowanie struktury tego pojęcia u różnych osób. Wyniki wskazują, iż technika afektywnej fluencji werbalnej pozwala na ukazanie zarówno struktury, jak i zróżnicowania pojęcia nadziei. Uzyskane dane ukazują zbliżone komponenty potocznego pojęcia nadziei do tych wykazywanych w naukowej literaturze przedmiotu. Analiza języka pozwala zatem na ukazanie tego, w jak zróżnicowany sposób ludzie pojmują nadzieję.

This study attempts to show the relationship between control of negative emotions and regulation of mood, and personality disorders traits. Literature presents data on dysfunctional experiencing, control and regulating emotions in people with personality disorders. They are unable to recognize the appropriate valence of emotions, control them and experience in an adequate way. All personality disorders display these impairments, however, its manner and degree are differently manifested in the different types of personality disorders. The aim of the study was to describe the relationship between control of emotions, the strategies to increase mood and decrease mood, and personality disorders traits in a non-clinical sample. A sample of 294 participants from general population was investigated (men and women in a similar age and education level). The following techniques were used: the Personality Disorder Questionnaire – PDQ-4 by Steven E. Hyler to assess personality disorders traits, the Scale of Control of Emotions, and the Scale of Mood Regulation by Bogdan Wojciszke to assess the tendencies in the regulation of mood. Multiple regression analysis was computed and path analysis to show the relationship between personality disorders traits and patterns of regulation of emotions. Results show that personality disorders traits from Cluster B are associated with a tendency to lower control of depression while from Cluster C higher control of depression. The tendency to decrease mood is related to the personalities from the Cluster C while Cluster A disorders are associated with a lower tendency to increase mood. In general, people with personality disorders traits do not display a high tendency to increase mood.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie związków pomiędzy cechami zaburzeń osobowości a kontrolą emocji negatywnych i obniżaniem vs. podwyższaniem nastroju. W literaturze przedmiotu istnieją dane na temat dysfunkcjonalnego doświadczania i regulowania emocji u osób z zaburzoną osobowością. Wykazuje się, iż osoby takie nie są zdolne do tworzenia bliskich więzi uczuciowych bądź ich więzi nacechowane są ambiwalencją, konfliktami. Wynika to z problemów w zakresie rozumienia emocji i ich kontroli. Podjęto się sprawdzenia, czy i jakiego rodzaju związki istnieją pomiędzy poszczególnymi cechami zaburzeń osobowości oraz wiązkami zaburzeń A, B i C a kontrolą negatywnych emocji i regulacją nastroju. Badaniami objęto 294-osobową grupę kobiet i mężczyzn z populacji generalnej w podobnym wieku i o zbliżonym poziomie wykształcenia. Zastosowano następujące techniki: do diagnozy cech zaburzeń osobowości – kwestionariusz PDQ-4 Stevena E. Hylera, do oceny kontroli emocji – Skalę Kontroli Emocji CECS, do oceny regulacji nastroju – Skalę Regulacji Nastroju Bogdana Wojciszke. Zastosowano wielozmiennowe analizy regresji oraz analizę ścieżek w celu wykazania, w jakim stopniu cechy zaburzeń osobowości z wiązek A, B i C oraz cechy poszczególnych zaburzeń wyjaśniają kontrolę emocji negatywnych i regulację nastroju. Wyniki wskazują, że nasileniu zaburzeń z wiązki B towarzyszy obniżona kontrola depresji, zaś z wiązki C – podwyższona kontrola depresji. Wyższe tendencje do obniżania nastroju towarzyszą głównie zaburzeniom obawowo-lękowym (wiązka C), zaś nasilenie cech zaburzeń z wiązki A idzie w parze z mniejszą skłonnością do podwyższania nastroju. Osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości nie przejawiają skłonności do podwyższania nastroju.

The knowledge about one’s own memory (metamemory) is a topic of research of the various subdisciplines of psychology. There are taken into consideration the relations between metamemory and affective processes, personality, self-awareness, cognitive processes, and social factors. The aim of our study was to identify the determinants of knowledge of one’s own memory and the degree of the adequacy to the actual performance. The study included 50 adult participants without neuropsychiatric impairments. The general subjective assessment of one’s own memory (Memory Effectiveness Assessment Questionnaire), judgment of learning lists of words (JOL), the level of reminders of words and calibration (the degree of convergence of judgments and reminders of words), were the dependent variables. The intensity of affect (SUPIN), efficiency of semantic memory (verbal fluency) and executive functions (Ruff Figural Fluency Test – RFFT), as well as demographic variables were the independent variables. Higher self-assessment of general characteristics of the one’s own memory was positively associated with positive affect as personality trait. Judgment of learning was related to the level of reminders of words, and depended on the efficiency of semantic memory. None of these factors did not explain the calibration. The results confirm that the different forms of metamemory have different determinants. This finding should be applied in the diagnosis and treatment of metacognitive functions.

The studies included 302 Polish participants. There were used 7 verbal fluency tasks (categories: animals, vehicles, words beginning with the letter F, letter F, words from the category joy, fear, and verbs corresponding to a question: “what man does”?, namely verbs fluency). The aim of the analysis was to identify the factors that determine the ability of finding words in accordance with the criteria. The significant predictors of the numbers of words given in accordance with the requirements were variables such as age, duration of education, the level of language skills/semantic memory and working memory, as well as affective states and traits. Analysis of the different characteristics of the tasks (grammatical, semantic, affective) indicates that their performance is determined by the interaction of similar factors, except for affective factors.

The research which use the tasks of verbal fluency show the essential diagnostic value of them in reference to clinical analyses. The performance of verbal fluency tasks is modified by different individual factors such as age, sex, education as well as affective ones. The very important factor considered as having an influence on verbal fluency is mood. The aim of the study is to discuss the relationships between the different types of verbal fluency indicators and the intensity of depressive mood. The final analysis of the results of 200 people aged in 18-70 years old is presented. Although the depressive people show the lower scores in the different verbal fluency tasks their results are explained by age and education. Discussion on diagnostic values of neutral and affective verbal fluency is presented.

The aim of the current study is showing the personality predictors for the literary creativity in early adulthood. The material from 357 participants was analyzed. About 50% of them undertook the literary creativity, they write poems, stories, novels. Two personality questionnaires (ACL, KANHIII) were used to assess personality traits potentially associated with creative personality. Logistic regression was used to find the personality predictors. The dependent variable was binary coded: literary activity vs lack of literary activity; the independent variables were Potency, Assertiveness, Sociability, Individuality (ACL) and Conformity-Non conformity (KANH). Results showed that the significant predictors for the literary creativity in women are Non-conformity and Individuality, low level of Potency, low level of Assertiveness. The significant predictors for the literary creativity in men are high level of Conformity and high level of Assertiveness.

Celem niniejszej pracy jest odnalezienie osobowościowych predyktorów podejmowania twórczości literackiej w okresie wczesnej dorosłości. Do analizy włączono wyniki łącznie 357 osób. Około połowa z nich podejmuje aktywność literacką, czyli pisze wiersze, opowiadania, powieści. Do pomiaru cech osobowości potencjalnie związanych z osobowością twórczą wykorzystano dwa kwestionariusze osobowości (ACL, KANH-III). Aby odnaleźć osobowościowe predyktory podejmowania twórczości literackiej przeprowadzono regresję logistyczną. Zmienna zależna miała charakter binarny: aktywność literacka vs brak aktywności literackiej; zmiennymi niezależnymi były: Siła, Asertywność, Towarzyskość, Indywidualizm (ACL) oraz konformizm-nonkonformizm (KANH). Wyniki pokazały, że istotnymi predyktorami podejmowania twórczości literackiej przez kobiety jest wysoki poziom Nonkonformizmu oraz Indywidualizmu a także niski poziom Siły i Asertywności. Istotnymi predyktorami podejmowania twórczości literackiej przez mężczyzn jest wysoki poziom Konformizmu oraz wysoki poziom Asertywności.

The literature points that attachment is key mechanism in the development of people. According to the attachment theory, the experience of neglect, abandonment and other early traumas have influence on forming the dysfunctions of emotions and personality pathology. The aim of this article is the verification of the thesis about relation between attachment style and personality disorders. The analysis of results of 155 participants has been conducted (persons in the similar age, similar educational level, similar number of females and males). The diagnosis of personality disorder was based on SCID-II (Structured Clinical Interview for Axis – II), and additionally confirmed by PDQ-4 Hyler Inventory. To examine the attachment style the Plopa’s Attachment Styles Questionnaire and the Revised Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECR-R designed by Fraley et al., 2000), were used. The multiple regression model was used to test whether attachment styles maybe the predictors for personality disorders. The current results partly support the Lyddon and Sherry’ thesis. The main predictor for the relations between attachment and personality disorders is the anxious attachment style.
