Article Abstract

The Five-Factor model is one of the most popular models of general personality but recently a competing model, the HEXACO, has been put forth as an alternative. In the current study, we compare the two models by examining the interrelations between their primary measures, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) and the Revised HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI-R), and their relations with psychopathy in a sample of undergraduates (N = 290). Results revealed good convergence between conceptually related personality traits. Both inventories accounted for substantial proportions of variance in psychopathy scores although the HEXACO-PI-R accounted for a larger proportion. The findings are discussed in relation to the HEXACO domain of Emotionality, which functions differently than NEO PI-R Neuroticism. The results suggest that both measures assess psychopathy-related traits, but the HEXACO-PI-R may offer a slight advantage.

Background: Parents are often considered reliable reporters of their child’s personality, and are typically the primary informants in youth assessments. However, little is known about how parents’ own personality trait pathology influences their evaluations, raising concerns about potential bias in these assessments. This study investigates the impact of Cluster B DSM-5 maternal borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic trait constellations on the agreement between late adolescent self-reports and maternal reports of adolescent personality.

The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between personal variables, as measured by the NEO-PI-R, and psychosomatic symptoms, assessed through the PSS, from a neuropsychological perspective.

Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is increasingly recognized as a concern among internet users, prompting investigations into the factors that may predispose individuals to PIU. Interoceptive awareness, one of cognitive-perceptual factors, refers to the ability to perceive internal bodily sensations and has been shown to play a significant role in the onset and maintenance of drug addiction. However, its relationship with PIU remains underexplored.

The literature has described how different and independent personality profiles (pathways or motives) lead to the same outcome: alcohol misuse. In addition, decision-making styles could also play a role in understanding alcohol misuse better, although the evidence is much more scarce compared to personality traits. The present paper aims to test how personality traits and decision-making styles could be integrated to better understand different pathways/profiles of alcohol misuse.
