(1) Background: The aim of the study was to investigate if Dark Triad (DT)—which includes psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism—impulsiveness Honesty-Humility (HH), can predict individuals’ intended behavior in a one-shot Prisoner’s Dilemma Game (PDG) whether this relationship is moderated by gender. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design used, examining regression moderatio...

According to previous studies, academic stress is related both basic personality traits and emotional intelligence (EI) as a trait which has demonstrated its relevance in numerous research regarding mental health domains. The present study sought examine the role of EI predicting academic-related stress, while controlling traits. A sample (N=288) completed: 1) Perceptions Academic Stress (PAS) ...

The Values in Action (VIA) framework maps 24 character strengths onto six more abstract virtues through a theoretical classification. However, compared to other individual difference constructs, there is little consensus about the factor-analytic structure of VIA trait space. Applying Horn’s parallel analysis, Goldberg’s Bass-ackwards approach, and cross-country congruency we scrutinize solutio...

Abstract Previous studies have examined how personality models (e.g., Big Five, HEXACO) relate to vocational interests. We adopt a novel approach by testing the associations between and interests from perspective of general factor (GFP). One interpretation GFP is that it reflects social effectiveness. Based on this interpretation, we predicted particularly related interest in jobs because peopl...

The Dirty Do-en is a recently developed, concise measure of the Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, & Machiavellianism). However, recent evidence has questioned the validity of this scale. In two studies we provide details about this measure in as much as it relates to the Big Five (i.e., Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, and Openness) whilst controllin...

APA (aminopeptidase A; EC 3.4.11.7) is a membrane-bound zinc metallopeptidase, also activated by Ca(2+), involved in the formation of brain angiotensin III, which exerts a tonic stimulatory action on the central control of blood pressure in hypertensive animals. In the present study, in the three-dimensional model of the ectodomain of mouse APA, we docked the specific APA inhibitor glutamate ph...
