A major focus of attention in psychology has been on the consequences and determinants of well-being. Religiosity and personality have both been shown to predict mental health and well-being, but the two predictors have not often been investigated together. In 4 studies involving 7 surveys (total N = 1,530) in various social and religious contexts, the relations among well-being, religious orientation, and personality factors were studied. Results showed that Extraversion was the single strongest correlate of higher levels of subjective and psychological well-being. Religiosity had null or weak positive relationships with well-being, and managed to explain variance in some aspects of positive functioning beyond personality factors. The null or week relationship of religiosity with well-being beyond personality was consistent across the HEXACO and the Big Five models of personality structure. It has been suggested that religion is relatively more important for eudaimonic than for hedonic way of living.

The paper deals with Aquinas’ concept of the human person. It focuses specifically on three writings: the Commentary of Sentences, Disputed questions on power and the Summa theologiae. Aquinas’ writings on the person are extremely wide, although they particularly focus on questions of theology (Trinity, christology, angelic persons). The philosophical principles of the personalistic approaches to the human being as relational and dialogical are only outlined, but are not fully developed. Particular attention is paid to the question of the personality of the separated soul.

Abstract Selecting specific professional activities (e.g. a brigade officer) and methods for coping with difficult situations may result from personal predispositions of a given person. Personality is founded on the innate temperament. The way of dealing with stress depends on personality traits whose influence is manifested, amongst other things, in the selection of specific coping styles. The current study aim to examine the level of correlation between personality and temperamental traits with manifested coping styles. The study covered 58 volunteers – male fire brigade officers. The following tools were used: Personality Inventory, NEO-FFI, Formal Characteristics of Behaviour: Temperament Inventory – Revised Version, FCZ-KT (R) and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, CISS. Emotion-focused coping style for stressful situations correlates with the following traits: positively, with perseveration (r=0.5115) and with emotional reactivity (r=0.4927), and negatively, with briskness (r=-0.3926) and endurance (r=-0.5408). The task-oriented coping style for stressful situations correlates positively with extraversion (r=0.3236) and conscientiousness (r=0.3088), and negatively with neuroticism (r=-0.3368) in the NEO-FFI. The emotion-focused coping style for stressful situations is positively correlated with neuroticism (NEO-FFI) (r=0.4150). In fire brigade officers, As far as personality traits were concerned, fire brigade officers scored relatively high in extraversion, conscientiousness and low in neuroticism and were likely to demonstrate the task-oriented coping style for stressful situations. Lower level of perseveration and high level of briskness and endurance were associated with emotion-focused coping style for stressful situations. Similarly, the tendency to focus on emotions experienced in stressful situations were associated with high level of neuroticism in the study group.

Neither individuality nor substance can provide a sufficient account for the uniqueness of human persons. This problem is demonstrated with respect to the various ways one can describe the human person; matter, substantial form, essence, and nature. It is nature that describes beings as they exist. Because human nature is distinctively rational, human beings are most appropriately described as persons. An investigation of personality reveals that each person stands in a unique relation to being by virtue of the acts of intellect and will. Therefore, only personality provides a sufficient account of the uniqueness of individual persons. But because personal uniqueness is an aspect of relation, it cannot be conceived outside that relation. And as the person’s relation to being is tantamount to his ability to enter into communion, uniqueness necessarily implies communion.

The Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) by Martin et al. (2003) measures four humour styles, namely affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive and self-defeating. In contrast to former humour instruments, the HSQ has strong relations to various measures of psychological well-being. However, its incremental validity in relation to basic personality traits has not been sufficiently studied. Two studies analysed how much unique variance the HSQ contributed to predicting psychological well-being over and above personality. While the affiliative, self-enhancing and self-defeating humour style were potent predictors of well-being in Study 1, the results also indicated that these humour styles had small effects when personality was controlled for. Study 2 tested a possible explanation for these findings, namely that the context (i.e., non-humorous components) of the HSQ items dominates their humour-specific content. Two questionnaires were utilised to separate context and humour components in the HSQ. Results showed that (a) the HSQ contributed little in predicting personality and psychological well-being once context was controlled for, and that (b) the humour component of each HSQ scale correlated highly with other humour instruments and neither of them were detrimental or maladaptive in terms of psychological well-being. Thus, these two studies showed a low incremental validity of humour styles in predicting psychological well-being beyond personality and hint to a limited role that humour plays in the these relationships. Overall, the humour components of the HSQ rather resemble those of other self-report measures and mainly comprise humour appreciation and humour production in everyday life.

The present study aimed to explore whether personality traits infl uence buying behaviour and if this infl uence differs depending on a different culture. The author focused on a crosscultural investigation of Poland and the UK. Data were collected via an online questionnaire which measured personality traits, consumer purchase behaviour and the meaning of branded products for 525 participants. The results show signifi cant relationships between personality traits and both, consumer shopping styles and the way individuals perceived branded products. Personality traits were assessed by the MINI-IPIP test, a 20-items instrument which measures the Big Five personalities: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Intellect/Imagination (or Openness). Buying behaviour was tested by two scales. The fi rst one was a 39-item Consumer Shopping Inventory (CSI), which indentifi es eight shopping style dimensions: Perfectionist/High Quality Conscious, Brand Consciousness/Price Equals Quality, Novelty and Fashion Conscious, Recreational and Shopping Conscious, Price Conscious/Value for the Money, Impulsiveness/Careless, Confused by Overchoice, Habitual/Brand Loyal. Another instrument used was a 32-item the Meaning of Branded Products scale, presenting four dominant themes: Quality, Values, Personal Identity and Traditions. The present study also investigated the moderating effect of citizenship and other socio-demographic characteristics in the relation between personality traits and both, the meaning of branded products and shopping styles.

Pytanie jak bardzo posługujemy się stereotypami dotyczącymi postrzegania i oceniania ludzi tylko dlatego, że należą oni do określonej grupy, stało się motywem napisania owej pracy. Dokonano porównania stereotypowych opinii studentów różnych wrocławskich uczelni co do rysu psychologicznego studentów AWF i Politechniki we Wrocławiu. Praca ta jest zatem rozprawą na temat tego, jaki jest stereotyp osobowości porównywanych obu grup studentów. Kwestionariuszami użytymi w pracy były: kwestionariusz NEO-FFI „Wielka Piątka” autorstwa Paula Costy i Roberta McCrea, obejmujący 5 czynników osobowości, tj.: neurotyczność, ekstrawersję, otwartość na doświadczenia, ugodowość i sumienność, oraz stworzony na potrzeby pracy kwestionariusz dotyczący stereotypów. Jak wskazały przeprowadzone badania, student Politechniki jawi się naszym respondentom jako mniej ekstrawertywny, ale bardziej sumienny od studenta AWF. Stereotyp osobowości studentów AWF wykazuje zależność od płci opiniujących. W ocenie kobiet poszczególne składowe osobowości studentów AWF charakteryzują większe wartości stenowe w porównaniu do ocen dokonywanych przez mężczyzn. Podobnego zróżnicowania płciowego nie obserwuje się w stereotypie osobowości studenta Politechniki.

The question to what extent we follow the stereotypes concerning perceiving and judging pe ople, just because they belong to a particular group, has become the trigger point to write this dissertation. There has been made a comparison of the stereotypical opinions of the students of various Wrocław universities about the psychological characteristics of students of the University of Physical Education and the University of Technology in Wrocław. The thesis is adissertation delineating the personality stereotype comparision of both groups of students. The questionnaires used in the dissertation were: the NEO-FFI questionnaire „The Big Five” of Paul Costa and Robert McCrea's, including five personality traits: neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experiences, flexibility, and conscientiousness, and the survey, created for the need of the dissertation, concerning the stereotypes. According to the research, our respondents perceive a student of the University of Technology as less extravert but more conscientious than a student of the University of Physical Education. The personality stereotype of the University of Physcial Education students shows the dependency on the opinion sexes. According to women, the particular personality traits of the University of Physcial Education students are characterised by the bigger sten merits in comparison to the judgement made by men. The similar sexual differentiation is not observed in the personality stereotype of a student the University of Technology.

The five factor trait of conscientiousnessis a supertrait, denoting on one hand a pattern of excessive labor, rigidity, orderliness and compulsivity,and on the other hand a pattern of strict rectitude, scrupulosity, dutifulness and morality. In both respects the obsessive-compulsive personality is conscientious; indeed, it has been labeled a disorder of extreme conscientiousness (Widiger et al., 2009). Antisocial personality disorder, in the present paper, is described as occupying the opposite end of the conscientiousness continuum. The antisocial is impulsive rather than compulsive, illicit rather than licit, and furtive rather than forthright.After clinically comparing the obsessive and antisocial personalities, the present paper invokes evolutionary theory to explain their resultant behavioral, ideological, political and demographic differences.

Objectives: One issue regarding prescription of physical activity (PA) is adherence, with enjoyment being shown to be a factor, and extroversion being associated with enjoyment. Furthermore, anecdotal evidence suggests that PA as part of a group yields superior levels of enjoyment than non-groups, however this has not been explored to date. It is the purpose of this study to explore associations between enjoyment and extroversion in group vs non-group PA. Methods: 17 subjects were recruited and randomised into two groups: ‘group’ and ‘non-group’. ‘Group’ subjects walked for 30-minutes for 5 consecutive days as part of a pair, and ‘non-group’ subjects doing the same intervention alone. All subjects completed two surveys, one pre-intervention measuring extroversion using the Goldberg Transparent Bi-Polar Inventory and wellness using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale. The post-intervention survey measured wellness and enjoyment of the intervention using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale. A pedometer was also worn. Findings: The multiple regression model statistically predicted enjoyment (F(7,7) = 15.168, p=<0.001,adj.R2=0.876), with only sub-group type and wellness levels adding significantly to the prediction (p=<0.05). Moreover, the ‘group’ sub-group took significantly more steps than the ‘non-group’ sub-group (18,395 vs 13,168; p=<0.001). Conclusions: Wellbeing and sub-group type were predictors of enjoyment. Furthermore, subjects who walked in pairs took more steps than subjects who walked alone. Practitioners should consider prescribing PA as part of a group to yield higher enjoyment levels and higher levels of activity. Due to the small sample size, further study is needed with more subjects.

This article presents a preliminary study of links between personal constructs and traits. The conceptual framework for this study is the domains of personality model postulated by McAdams (1995) and McAdams & Pals (2006), and we tried to find concomitances between variables of two different levels, the dispositional level and the identity level. A repertory grid and the NEO-FFI inventory were distributed to a total of 273 individuals, 146 representing the general population, and 137 having pathologies. By applying an exploratory design ex post facto in which Pearson's correlations and ANOVAs were used, we found associations between the content of the constructs used and the traits. The neuroticism trait was most closely related to the content of the constructs. There were also clear associations between construct structure and scores on traits. Neurotic subjects were more rigid, whereas agreeable and conscientious subjects were more complex. However, the type of sample (normal or pathological) is a basic modulator of the relationships between constructs and traits.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the influences of some personality traits, measured with the HEXACO model of personality, on the perceived ability to manage one’s own affects. The results of the correlations and the linear regressions between the personality traits, measured by the HEXACO-60, and the perceived ability to manage affects, measured by the Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy Belief scale, support the idea that extraversion is more related to expressing positive affects, whereas emotionality is more related to managing negative affects, and conscientiousness is slightly related to some aspects of self-regulation of positive and negative affects. The results obtained in this study for the HEXACO are similar to those displayed for FFM in previous studies regarding personality traits and positive and negative affects.

Głównym celem przedstawionych badań jest sprawdzenie wpływów niektórych cech osobowości, mierzonych modelem osobowości HEXACO, na postrzeganą zdolność do radzenia sobie z własnymi wpływami. Wyniki korelacji i liniowych regresji między cechami osobowości mierzonymi przez HEXACO-60, a postrzeganą zdolnością do zarządzania afektami, mierzoną Regulacyjną Skalą Przekonania o Własnej Skuteczności, potwierdzają pogląd, że ekstrawersja jest bardziej związana z pozytywną ekspresją, podczas gdy emocjonalność jest bardziej związana z zarządzaniem negatywnymi afektami, a świadomość jest nieznacznie związana z niektórymi aspektami samoregulacji pozytywnych i negatywnych afektów. Wyniki uzyskane w tym badaniu dla HEXACO są zbliżone do tych prezentowanych dla FFM we wcześniejszych badaniach dotyczących cech osobowości oraz pozytywnych i negatywnych afektów.
