Recent studies on affective forecasting clarify that the emotional reactions people anticipate often differ markedly from those they actually experience in response to affective stimuli and events. However, core personality differences in affective forecasting have received limited attention, despite their potential relevance to choice behavior. In the present study, 226 college undergraduates ...

We examine the conservation status of Africa’s “Big Five”: lion, leopard, buffalo, black and white rhinoceros and elephant, and the role of behavioral knowledge in their conservation. Efforts to conserve these flagship species consist of in situ conservation, captive breeding and reintroductions. With a few exceptions, we find limited evidence that knowledge of behavior informs conservation pro...

This paper investigates the relationship between trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) and the Big Five factors, the Big Two and the Big One (i.e., General Factor of Personality; GFP). Comprehensive measures of trait EI (TEIQue) and the Big Five (NEO-PI-R) were applied to a sample of 289 university students (170 female). As expected by the trait EI theory, part of the construct’s variance was...

In three studies, we tried to create a novel scale within the existing Big Five Inventory 2 (BFI-2) structure measure prosocial vs. antisocial personality traits, like Dark Triad and honesty-humility. While our new converged strongly with dark honesty-humility scales, failed establish sufficient discriminant validity vis-a-vis BFI-2 agreeableness domain. Instead, found that traits were best mea...

In this study, we expand on several previous studies related to the materiality judgments and the auditor’s propensity to issue a going-concern opinion to financially troubled but non-bankrupt companies. We test the auditor’s materiality thresholds by investigating whether there is any significant difference in accuracy among audit firms, especially between Big Six (Five) and non-Big Six (Five)...

The relation of Big Five Marker variables to the Comrey Personality Scales (study 1) and the Howarth Personality Tests (study 2) was investigated. In study one a joint factor analysis of 284 participants (179 females) revealed that seven oblique factors accounted for 40% of the variance in the Big Five Markers and the Comrey Personality Scales. Extraversion, conscientiousness and neuroticism we...

The Big Five factors structure is currently the benchmark for personality dimensions. In the domain of adjectives, various instruments have been developed to measure the Big Five. In this contribution we propose a methodology to find a simple factorial structure and we apply this methodology to the domain of Big Five as measured by adjectives. Using data collected on a sample of 337 subjects, w...

A mixed model was introduced in this study, k-means clustering analysis for data examination, discriminant classification, and multilayer perceptron neural network prediction. After deleted inadequate samples outliers, total number of observations 1,009,998 study that collected through on interactive online personality (i.e., big five traits) test 2018. Empirical results based the identified fo...
