There have been many neuroimaging studies of human personality traits, and it have already provided glimpse into the neurobiology of complex traits. And most of previous studies adopt voxel-based morphology (VBM) analysis to explore the brain-personality mechanism from two levels (vertex and regional based), the findings are mixed with great inconsistencies and the brain-personality relations a...

BACKGROUND The Big Five traits (i.e., openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism: OCEAN) have been suggested to provide a meaningful taxonomy for studying the Dark Triad: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Nevertheless, current research consists of mixed and inconsistent associations between the Dark Triad and OCEAN. Here we used the Dark Cube (Garcia ...

The nonperturbative aspects of string theory are explored for noncritical string in two distinct formulations, loop equations and matrix models. The effects corresponding to the D-brane in these formulations are especially investigated in detail. It is shown that matrix models can universally yield a definite value of the chemical potential for an instanton while loop equations cannot. This imp...

Controlling for cognitive ability, personality characteristics and gender effects in a gift exchange experiment, men offer higher wages compared to women, as do agents with greater cognitive ability and those scoring higher on agreeableness on the Big Five personality scale. In turn, men provide greater effort than women do. For both genders, a one standard deviation increase in agreeableness g...

This study differentiates female entrepreneurs from male entrepreneurs using the Big-Five Personality Model. The five factors include adjustment, sociability, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and intellectual openness. Adjustment determines confidence versus instability. Sociability measures extraversion versus introversion. Conscientiousness determines impulsiveness versus cautiousness. Agree...

Abstract Introduction Theoretically, during dreaming, weak associations are explored, and information is combined in novel ways, which could lead to increased creativity waking. However, little research has explored direct relationships between dreaming objective measures of the ability creatively solve problems. Furthermore, personality influences dream recall frequency (DRF) other aspects sug...
