Article Abstract

The present study examined associations between two future time perspective (FTP) dimensions (perceived opportunities and perceived time) and the Big Five personality traits during older adulthood, a developmental period that has received limited attention in personality development. Specifically, it tested whether FTP dimensions were cross-sectionally associated with personality traits, as well as if they predicted changes on those traits during a time when participants were transitioning to retirement. Participants from the Health, Ageing and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEARTS) study (N = 5,913, M = 63.09 years) reported on their FTP at the initial assessment and on their Big Five personality traits on six assessments 1 year apart. Latent growth curve models were fit to examine FTP as a predictor of level and change in the Big Five traits over time, with perceived time and opportunities included as unique predictors. Results found that broader FTP was associated with higher extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience, and conscientiousness, but lower neuroticism initially. However, results indicated associations were stronger and sometimes only significant for perceived opportunities not time. Regarding FTP as a predictor of personality trait change, modest evidence was found that perceived opportunities predicted changes in neuroticism and openness over time. The present study extends past work by showing the importance of capturing different components of FTP when examining personality traits during older adulthood. Research needs to further explore the longitudinal predictive effects of FTP, focusing on more proximal assessments and how FTP changes during retirement.

Background: Schizotypy (ST) and psychotic-like experiences and negative symptoms (PENS) are commonly used phenotypes in high-risk and early intervention research for schizophrenia and other non-affective psychoses. However, the origin of these phenotypes in the general population is poorly understood and their association with the genetic predisposition to psychoses has not yet been proven.

Aim: The aim of this study is to answer the question of whether data on the relations of ST and PENS with polygenic risk scores for schizophrenia (SZ-PRS) support the hypothesis that these phenotypes are subclinical manifestations of genetic liability for schizophrenia.

Global salinization increasingly threatens ecosystem integrity and the regulation of biogeochemical cycles. Our study reveals novel insights into the microbial contributions to the organohalide decomposition in saline environments, demonstrating the unprecedented ability of organohalide-respiring bacteria and to completely dechlorinate trichloroethene to non-toxic ethene under hypersaline conditions (up to 31.3 g/L) in long-term operations.

Introduction: Speaking up about medical errors is a critical behaviour for medical students, as it plays a vital role in enhancing patient safety. Few studies have explored the drivers and barriers affecting their willingness to speak up in clinical training, particularly within hierarchical Asian cultures. The purpose of this study was to explore drivers and barriers shaping medical students' speaking up behaviours about medical errors to inform education, mentorship and patient safety practices.
