  • Response conflicts in visually guided movements under mental fatigue

    Open AccessArpad Csatho, Dimitri Van Der Linden et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2026

    Mental fatigue induced by prolonged task performance (time-on-task [ToT]) is typically perceived as an unpleasant state and is associated with compromised performance. Operations requiring cognitive control, such as resolving response conflicts, are particularly sensitive to ToT-related detrimental effects. As cognitive control is critical for precise movements, ToT likely impacts movement performance. Two experiments explored this by examining t…

  • Disentangling the effects of task difficulty and effort on flow experience

    Open AccessHairong Lu, Dimitri Van Der Linden et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2025

    Flow, which is a rewarding state of full focus, typically arises when engaging in tasks with an optimal level of difficulty that is matched with a person’s skill level. Meanwhile, optimal task difficulty usually comes with the greatest effort exertion. We propose that not only the difficulty level, but also the level of effort invested plays a role in the subjective feelings of flow. Using a visual discrimination task, we manipulated stimulus com…

  • A Prospective Study on the Association of Parental and Peer Attachment and the General Factor of Personality

    Open AccessCurtis S Dunkel, T Kawamoto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2025

    INTRODUCTION: Personality traits covary to form a general factor of personality (GFP). The association of parental and peer attachment across adolescence and into early adulthood with the GFP in early adulthood were examined. METHODS: Data from the Oregon Youth Study were used in the analyses. Participants (N = 202 males) were administered measures of parental and peer attachment nine times, beginning in 1985, at ages 11-12 through ages 21-22. At…

  • The general factor of personality (GFP) in natural language

    Open AccessDimitri Van Der Linden, Andrew D Cutler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Personality2025References: 43

    Using Large Language Models (LLMs), we tested the presence of a general factor of personality (GFP) in trait words in natural language (e.g., thousands of books and posts on internet). We included three set of trait words, extracted from well-known classical lexical studies on personality. The general factor we found represented a continuum of social desirable traits, similar to a typical GFP. Moreover, this LLM-based general factor correlated r …

  • Flow and Flourishing During the Pandemic

  • Overlap between general factors of psychopathology and personality

    Open AccessDimitri Van Der Linden, Curtis S Dunkel et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

    Previous studies have shown that specific personality dimensions, -e.g., the Big Five-, consistently intercorrelate, such that they form a general factor of personality (GFP). It has been hypothesized that the GFP reflects social effectiveness. Similarly, in the clinical domain, overlap between various psychopathological symptoms has also been reported, leading to a general factor of Psychopathology, or p factor. The aim of this study was to test…

  • Antecedents and outcomes of work-related flow

    Open AccessWei Liu, Hairong Lu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Behavior2023

    Flow is an optimal state that contributes positively to individual well-being and performance. Despite growing evidence of its antecedents and outcomes at work, few efforts have been made to systematically examine and synthesize the extant findings to advance the theoretical and empirical development of flow. Combining different perspectives (e.g., job demands and resources theory, proactivity and leadership literatures), we aim to identify the k…

  • The General Factor of Personality (GFP) is associated with higher salary, having a leadership position, and working in a social job

    Open AccessDimitri Van Der Linden, Curtis S Dunkel et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2023

    Previous studies have suggested that a general factor exists at the top of the hierarchal structure of personality. One interpretation of this General Factor of Personality (GFP) is that it reflects social effectiveness. Accordingly, in a large employee sample (N = 1267), we tested whether the GFP relates to several outcomes assumed to be linked with social effectiveness. Specifically, we examine whether the GFP is positively related to salary an…

  • Revisiting the link between the sustained attention to response task (Sart) and daily-life cognitive failures

    Open AccessAnnika Maria Schepers, Leonie Schorrlepp et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2023

    In this study, we examined the relationship betweenerrors of commissionon theSustained Attention to Response Task(SART)andscores on the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ). The goal was to assess theecological validity of the SARTin a sample of people scoring high on fatigue complaints.SART errors of commission were positively associated with CFQ scores and this finding remained after controlling for fatigue level, age, and SART reaction times…

  • Does Strengths Use Mean Better Focus? Well-being and Attentional Performance at the Episodic Level

    Open AccessWei Liu, Dimitri Van Der Linden et al.ARTICLEJournal of Happiness Studies2022

    Positive psychology postulates that using one’s strengths can facilitate employee well-being and performance at work. However, whether strengths use is associated with attentional performance has remained unanswered in the literature. Attention plays a role in job performance, and previous literature has suggested a contrasting link between well-being (i.e., positive affect) and attentional performance. We hypothesize that, within work episodes, …

  • Sex and Culture Differences in Cultural Intelligence

    Open AccessKhaled Elsayed Ziada, Dimitri Van Der Linden et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2021

    Cultural Intelligence (CI) refers to the motivation and ability to understand and deal with cultural differences. As such, it is assumed to play a role in the effectiveness of social contact and communication between people from different cultures. Given its relevance to international relations, it is imperative to test which individual and group factors are associated with CI. Therefore, in the present study we examine cross-cultural and gender …

  • The Myth of the Stupid Believer

    Open AccessE Dutton, Jan te Nijenhuis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2020

    Numerous studies have found a negative relationship between religiousness and IQ. It is in the region of − 0.2, according to meta-analyses. The reasons for this relationship are, however, unknown. It has been suggested that higher intelligence leads to greater attraction to science, or that it helps to override evolved cognitive dispositions such as for religiousness. Either way, such explanations assume that the religion–IQ nexus is on general i…

  • The Interplay Between Cognitive Intelligence, Ability Emotional Intelligence, and Religiosity

    Open AccessPaweł Łowicki, Marcin Zajenkowski et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2020

  • Dynamic self- and other-focused emotional intelligence

    Open AccessKeri A Pekaar, Dimitri Van Der Linden et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Personality2020References: 77

    This paper introduces a theoretical framework for research on the dynamics of self- and other-focused emotional intelligence (EI). The EI-framework focuses specifically on the interplay between different EI dimensions when individuals are processing their own emotions and the emotions of others. The framework captures different phases of processing self- and other-emotions. The first phase consists of situational cues (e.g., an argument) that eli…

    We found a high prevalence of active TB and LTBI among contacts of PTB cases in the Syrian refugee population, emphasizing the urgent need for host countries to implement CT strategies for refugees. Our results underscore the vulnerability of U5s and contacts of smear-positive IC highlighting the need for specific actions focusing on those groups

  • How Universal Is the General Factor of Personality? An Analysis of the Big Five in Forager Farmers of the Bolivian Amazon

    Open AccessDimitri Van Der Linden, Curtis S Dunkel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2018Cited by: 2References: 52

    In various personality models, such as the Big Five, a consistent higher order general factor of personality (GFP) can be identified. One view in the literature is that the GFP reflects general social effectiveness. Most GFP studies, however, have been conducted in Western, educated, industrialized, and rich democracies (WEIRD). Therefore, to address the question of the universality of the GFP, we test whether the GFP can also be identified in a …

  • Overlap between the general factor of personality and emotional intelligence

    Dimitri Van Der Linden, Keri A Pekaar et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2017Cited by: 17References: 1

    We examine the relationship between the general factor of personality (GFP) and emotional intelligence (EI) and specifically test the hypothesis that the GFP is a social effectiveness factor overlapping conceptually with EI. Presented is an extensive meta-analysis in which the associations between the GFP, extracted from the Big Five dimensions, with various EI measures is examined. Based on a total sample of k = 142 data sources (N = 36,268) the…
