  • Loneliness and Personality: Noise‐ and Bias‐Free True Correlations Between Loneliness and the Big Five Personality Domains

    Open Access•Paddy Maher, Yavor Dragostinov et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2026

    Objective While loneliness is intertwined with many mental and physical health problems, its origins are not yet well understood. We sought to better understand its link to personality in a large national cohort. Methods Combining self‐ and informant ratings in multiple samples, we conducted the largest study to date to examine loneliness' true correlations ( r true s) with the Big Five personality traits, free of single‐method biases and transie…

  • Skin conductance response and habituation to emotional facial expressions and words

    Open Access•Liina Juuse, Diina Tamm et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Psychologica•2024

    Skin conductance response (SCR) serves as a dependable marker of sympathetic activation used to measure emotional arousal. This study investigates the impact of presentation modality (face or word) on the degree of emotional discrimination elicited by SCR. Facial expressions or words associated with six basic emotions-anger, happiness, disgust, fear, sadness, and surprise-were studied among 102 participants. The amplitude of SCR was accurately pr…

  • Most people's life satisfaction matches their personality traits: True correlations in multitrait, multirater, multisample data

    René Mõttus, Anu Realo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2024•Cited by: 4

    70 and its longitudinal associations with personality traits mirrored cross-sectional ones. We conclude that without common measurement limitations, most people's life satisfaction is highly consistent with their personality traits, even across many years. So, satisfaction is usually shaped by these same relatively stable factors that shape personality traits more broadly. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Processing emotions from faces and words measured by event-related brain potentials

    Open Access•Liina Juuse, Kairi Kreegipuu et al.•ARTICLE•Cognition & Emotion•2023

    Affective aspects of a stimulus can be processed rapidly and before cognitive attribution, acting much earlier for verbal stimuli than previously considered. Aimed for specific mechanisms, event-related brain potentials (ERPs), expressed in facial expressions or word meaning and evoked by six basic emotions – anger, disgust, fear, happy, sad, and surprise – relative to emotionally neutral stimuli were analysed in a sample of 116 participants. Bra…

  • Does personality predict traveling abroad as indicated by mobile phone data? The idea of the mobile personality revisited

  • Factors Predicting the Scientific Wealth of Nations

    Open Access•Jüri Allik, K Lauk et al.•ARTICLE•Cross-Cultural Research•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 87

    It has been repeatedly demonstrated that economic affluence is one of the main predictors of the scientific wealth of nations. Yet, the link is not as straightforward as is often presented. First, only a limited set of relatively affluent countries is usually studied. Second, there are differences between equally rich countries in their scientific success. The main aim of the present study is to find out which factors can enhance or suppress the …

  • Source method biases as implicit personality theory at the domain and facet levels

    Open Access•Robert R Mccrae, René Mõttus et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2019

    OBJECTIVE: We tested predictions about the structure and magnitude of method biases in single-source personality trait assessments. We expected a large number of distinct biases that would parallel the observed structure of traits, at both facet and item levels. METHOD: We analyzed multimethod ratings on the Estonian NEO Personality Inventory-3 in a sample of 3,214 adults. By subtracting informant ratings from self-reports, we eliminated true sco…

  • A Puzzle of Estonian Science: How to Explain Unexpected Rise of the Scientific Impact; Pp. 329–344

    Open Access•K Lauk, Jüri Allik•ARTICLE•Trames Journal of the Humanities…•2018

    Only sufficient economic wealth can produce science with the highest quality. However, there is room for many intervening factors, which can moderate the process of how money invested into research transforms into a bibliometrically measurable outcome. In this paper, based on the latest update of the Essential Science Indicators (ESI), covering the period 2007â 2017, we analyze the progress of Estonian science against the background less successf…

  • The Almost Unbearable Lightness of Personality

    Open Access•Jüri Allik•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2018

    Researchers seem to believe that accepting the reality of personality traits inevitably leads to a dogma about the incredible complexity of these traits and their judgment. This article challenges this thesis and its assertion that the accuracy of personality judgment can only be achieved when a “good target” or a “good trait” is being judged using “good information,” and when a “good judge” makes the judgment. It is argued that because trait dim…

    Participants ( N = 10,672 with the mean age of 20.7 years) of the Russian Character and Personality Survey (RCPS), involving 40 universities or colleges from across the Russian Federation, rated their happiness and satisfaction with life; the ratings were combined into an index of subjective well-being (SWB). Using the National Character Survey (NCS), participants also rated their own personality characteristics as well as those of an ideal perso…

  • Spearman’s Hypothesis Tested Comparing Saudi Arabian Children and Adolescents With Various Other Groups of Children and Adolescents on the Items of the Standard Progressive Matrices

    Open Access•Jan te Nijenhuis, Adel A Batterjee et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Biosocial Science•2017

    Spearman’s hypothesis tested at the level of items states that differences between ethnic groups on the items of an IQ test are a function of the g loadings of these items, such that there are small differences between ethnic groups on items with low g loadings and large differences between ethnic groups on items with high g loadings; this has been confirmed in a limited number of studies. In this paper, Spearman’s hypothesis was tested, comparin…

  • SNP‐Based Heritability Estimates of Common and Specific Variance in Self‐ and Informant‐Reported Neuroticism Scales

    Open Access•Anu Realo, Peter J Van Der Most et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2017

    OBJECTIVE: Our study aims to estimate the proportion of the phenotypic variance of Neuroticism and its facet scales that can be attributed to common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two adult populations from Estonia (EGCUT; N = 3,292) and the Netherlands (Lifelines; N = 13,383).

    The personality stereotypes of two Finno-Ugric ethnic groups, Erzians and Mokshans, who live together with Russians in the Republic of Mordovia, Russian Federation, were studied. As in previous studies, we found little support for the idea that ethnic personality stereotypes describe accurately, or even in an exaggerated manner, actual personality dispositions to think, feel, and behave in a characteristic way. The mean self-reported personality …

    Genetic College Many genomic elements in humans are associated with behavior, including educational attainment. In a genome-wide association study including more than 100,000 samples, Rietveld et al. (p. 1467 , published online 30 May; see the Perspective by Flint and Munafò ) looked for genes related to educational attainment in Caucasians. Small genetic effects at three loci appeared to impact educational attainment.

  • Sex Differences in Variability in Personality: A Study in Four Samples

    Open Access•Peter Borkenau, Martina Hřebíčková et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2013

    OBJECTIVE: Men vary more than women in cognitive abilities and physical attributes, and we expected that men would vary more in personality too. That this has not been found previously may reflect that (a) personality was measured by self-reports that confound target sex with informant sex, and (b) men actually vary more but accentuate personality differences less than women. METHOD: We analyzed informant reports and self-reports on the NEO Perso…

    The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was translated into 28 languages and administered to 16,998 participants across 53 nations. The RSES factor structure was largely invariant across nations. RSES scores correlated with neuroticism, extraversion, and romantic attachment styles within nearly all nations, providing additional support for cross-cultural equivalence of the RSES. All nations scored above the theoretical midpoint of the RSES, indica…

  • Why can't a man be more like a woman? Sex differences in Big Five personality traits across 55 cultures

    D P Schmitt, Anu Realo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2008•Cited by: 110

    Previous research suggested that sex differences in personality traits are larger in prosperous, healthy, and egalitarian cultures in which women have more opportunities equal with those of men. In this article, the authors report cross-cultural findings in which this unintuitive result was replicated across samples from 55 nations (N = 17,637). On responses to the Big Five Inventory, women reported higher levels of neuroticism, extraversion, agr…

    Open Access•Jüri Allik, Anu Realo•ARTICLE•Journal of Cross-Cultural…•2004•Cited by: 103•References: 55

    Many social scientists have predicted that one inevitable consequence of modernization is the unlimited growth of individualism, which poses serious threats to the organic unity of society. Others have argued that autonomy and independence are necessary conditions for the development of interpersonal cooperation and social solidarity. We reanalyzed available data on the relationship between individualism-collectivism and social capital within one…

    It has long been believed that personality traits vary by geographicallocation, but few studies have examined the worldwide distribution of personality profiles. Using the five-factor model of personality-a comprehensive and apparently universal trait structure-we conducted secondary analyses of data from 36 cultures. Distance from the equator and mean temperature were not meaningfully related to personality factors. However, cluster analysis sho…

    Age trajectories for personality traits are known to be similar across cultures. To address whether stereotypes of age groups reflect these age-related changes in personality, we asked participants in 26 countries (N = 3,323) to rate typical adolescents, adults, and old persons in their own country. Raters across nations tended to share similar beliefs about different age groups; adolescents were seen as impulsive, rebellious, undisciplined, pref…

  • The Growth of Iq Among Estonian Schoolchildren From Ages 7 to 19

    Open Access•Helle Pullmann, Jüri Allik et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Biosocial Science•2004

    The Standard Progressive Matrices test was standardized in Estonia on a representative sample of 4874 schoolchildren aged from 7 to 19 years. When the IQ of Estonian children was expressed in relation to British and Icelandic norms, both demonstrated a similar sigmoid relationship. The youngest Estonian group scored higher than the British and Icelandic norms: after first grade, the score fell below 100 and remained lower until age 12, and after …

  • Escapable Conclusions: Toomela (2003) and the Universality of Trait Structure

    Jüri Allik, Robert R Mccrae•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2004•Cited by: 3•References: 3

    A. Toomela (2003) concluded that personality structure may be shaped by a cultural mechanism, word meaning structure, and that the apparent universality of the Five-Factor Model (FFM) was the result of inadequate sampling of concrete thinkers. A reanalysis using targeted rotation showed that the intended structure was generally replicated; small deviations in the most concrete thinkers were probably due to measurement error. The reanalysis author…

  • The relationships between collectivist attitudes and elementary forms of human relations: Evidence from Estonia

    Open Access•Anu Realo, Ly Kästik et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2004•Cited by: 2•References: 23

    This study examined the extent to which collectivist attitudes predict preference for the basic models of social relations. According to Fiske (1991), all social relations can be reduced to four basic forms - communal sharing (CS), authority ranking (AR), equality matching (EM), and market pricing (MP) - that guide people's social initiatives and help them to understand and respond appropriately to the social actions of others. The preference for…

  • Patterns and Universals of Adult Romantic Attachment Across 62 Cultural Regions: Are Models of Self and of Other Pancultural Constructs

    As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completedthe RelationshipQuestionnaire(RQ), a self-reportmeasure of adult romanticattachment. Correlational analyses within each culture suggested that the Model of Self and the Model of Other scales of the RQ were psychometrically valid within most cultures. Contrary to expectations, the Model of Self and Model of Other dimensions …

  • Toward a Geography of Personality Traits: Patterns of Profiles across 36 Cultures

    Open Access•Jüri Allik, Robert R Mccrae•ARTICLE•Journal of Cross-Cultural…•2004•Cited by: 68•References: 38

    It has long been believed that personality traits vary by geographicallocation, but few studies have examined the worldwide distribution of personality profiles. Using the five-factor model of personality-a comprehensive and apparently universal trait structure-we conducted secondary analyses of data from 36 cultures. Distance from the equator and mean temperature were not meaningfully related to personality factors. However, cluster analysis sho…

  • Individualism-Collectivism and Social Capital

    Open Access•Jüri Allik, Anu Realo•ARTICLE•Journal of Cross-Cultural…•2004•Cited by: 103•References: 55

    Many social scientists have predicted that one inevitable consequence of modernization is the unlimited growth of individualism, which poses serious threats to the organic unity of society. Others have argued that autonomy and independence are necessary conditions for the development of interpersonal cooperation and social solidarity. We reanalyzed available data on the relationship between individualism-collectivism and social capital within one…

  • National Character Does Not Reflect Mean Personality Trait Levels in 49 Cultures

    Open Access•Antonio Terracciano, Ahmed M Abdel-Khalek et al.•ARTICLE•Science•2005

    Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a “kernel of truth,” or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings of 3989 people from 49 cultures and compared them with the average personality scores of culture members assessed by observer ratings and self-r…

  • G. F. Parrot and the theory of unconscious inferences

    Open Access•Jüri Allik, Kenn Konstabel•ARTICLE•Journal of the History of the…•2005•Cited by: 3•References: 22

    In 1839, Georg Friedrich Parrot (1767-1852) published a short note about a peculiar visual phenomenon--the diminishing of the size of external objects situated at a relatively small distance from the window of a fast-moving train. For the explanation of this illusion, Parrot proposed a concept of unconscious inferences, a very rapid syllogistic conclusion from two premises, which anticipated the revival of Alhazen's theory of unconscious inferenc…

  • Simultaneous Administration of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale in 53 Nations: Exploring the Universal and Culture-Specific Features of Global Self-Esteem

    D P Schmitt, Jüri Allik•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2005•Cited by: 169•References: 6

    The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was translated into 28 languages and administered to 16,998 participants across 53 nations. The RSES factor structure was largely invariant across nations. RSES scores correlated with neuroticism, extraversion, and romantic attachment styles within nearly all nations, providing additional support for cross-cultural equivalence of the RSES. All nations scored above the theoretical midpoint of the RSES, indica…
