Who Laughs, and Who Doesn't? Predicting Humor Skills From Personality, Social Anxiety, and Laughter Dispositions of Gelotophobia, Gelotophilia, and Katagelasticism
Laughter‐related dispositions, including gelotophobia (fear of being laughed at), gelotophilia (enjoyment of being laughed with), and katagelasticism (enjoyment of laughing at others), may explain patterns of humor use beyond broad personality traits and social anxiety. However, their incremental predictive value across distinct humor domains remains insufficiently examined. A sample of 788 Canadian university students completed self‐report measu…
Psychometric Analysis and Cross‐Cultural Comparisons of the Italian and English Sense of Humor Scale Parallel Version Short Form
The Sense of Humor Scale parallel version short form (SHS‐PSF) is a novel self‐report measure aimed at describing personality traits related to enjoyment of humor, laughter, verbal humor, humor under stress, humor in everyday life, and laughing at oneself. The present study recruited Italian ( N = 298) and Canadian ( N = 910) participants to complete the Italian and English versions, respectively, to assess the measurement properties of the newly…
Revisiting the English Short Measure for Adult Playfulness (SMAP)
Adult playfulness describes the personality of the quick initiation and strong intensity of enjoyable experiences coupled with the frequency of engaging in playful behaviors. In addition to examining the reliability and validity of the Short Measure for Adult Playfulness (SMAP), we compared the psychometric properties of the SMAP across (a) 4- and 7-point answer formats; (b) German and English language versions; and (c) gender. The SMAP and crite…
The Relationships Between Facets of Emotional Intelligence and Facets of the Dark Triad
Investigations of the Dark Triad traits and trait emotional intelligence (EI) have not closely examined potentially meaningful relationships among these traits at the facet level. The goal of this study was to examine these associations in greater detail by assessing the relationships between factors of trait EI and facets of the Dark Triad traits. Participants included 406 university students ( M = 21.38 years, SD = 5.32). Results showed that th…
Is humor temperament associated with being creative, original, and funny? A tale of three studies
Although humor production and creativity may be interrelated, no study has examined whether the temperamental basis of humor promotes creativity. The present study investigates whether humor temperament is associated with creativity. Study 1 (N = 620) investigates the associations between humor temperament (i.e., cheerfulness, seriousness, bad mood), self-report creativity, and judges’ ratings of verbal creativity (i.e., wit, originality, humor).…
Dark Triad, Dyad, or Core? A Psychometric Evaluation of the Short Dark Triad (SD3) Across Three Countries
Since its introduction to personality psychology literature in 2002, the study of Dark Triad personality traits has gained traction across nations. However, there exists theoretical debate regarding the empirical distinctiveness of traits. Moreover, despite universal study across countries, the Short Dark Triad (SD3) lacks validation for use in all populations. The objective of this study was to scrutinise SD3 performance across three nations, in…

The Revised Assessment of Sadistic Personality (ASP-8)
Subclinical sadism, characterized by infliction of cruelty, aggression, or humiliation on another for subjugation or pleasure, provides important information in the prediction of aversive behaviors that have implications for individuals’ and society’s well-being worldwide. Given sadism’s universal relevance, it is imperative that researchers ensure valid and reliable trait measurement not only among English-speaking individuals, but also cross-na…
Cultural Differences in How People Deal with Ridicule and Laughter
The PhoPhiKat-45 measures three dispositions toward ridicule and laughter, including gelotophobia (i.e., the fear of being laughed at), gelotophilia (i.e., the joy of being laughed at), and katagelasticism (i.e., the joy of laughing at others). Despite numerous cultural adaptations, there is a paucity of cross-cultural studies investigating measurement invariance of this measure. Undergraduate students from a Canadian university (N = 1467; 71.4% …
The state-trait model of cheerfulness and social desirability
Ruch and colleagues (Ruch, Willibald, Gabriele Köhler & Christoph Van Thriel. 1996. Assessing the “humorous temperament”: Construction of the facet and standard trait forms of the state-trait-cheerfulness-inventory — STCI. Humor 9(3–4). 303–340) postulated high cheerfulness, low seriousness, and low bad mood contribute to exhilaration and enjoyment of humor. Although robust findings have corroborated that cheerfulness is associated with well-bein…
The role of dark personality traits in intimate partner violence
The State-Trait Cheerfulness Inventory State Version–Short Form (STCI-S18)
The State-Trait Cheerfulness Inventory–State Version (STCI-S) measures three states of cheerfulness, seriousness, and bad mood as the temperamental basis of humor. The present study investigates (1) the development and psychometric validation of a newly developed short version and (2) test-criterion validity with state measures and language use. Study 1 (N = 933) confirmed the three-dimensional structure, and both the short and standard versions …
Perpetrator Blame Attribution in Heterosexual Intimate Partner Violence
Partner violence resulting in physical injury is more often blamed on men than women for perpetrating the same offence, as men are often perceived to be more capable of inflicting injury. The current study used vignettes in a mixed-model design to examine the influence of perpetrator and observer gender, and weapon presence on observer blame. A split-plot analysis of variance produced a significant effect of perpetrator gender and an interaction …
The temperamental basis of humor and using humor under stress in depression
The temperamental basis of the sense of humor involves high cheerfulness, low seriousness, and low bad mood that would contribute to exhilaration and enjoyment of humor. In a sample of undergraduate participants ( N = 946), the present study investigated whether (1) use of humor under stress (HUS) mediates the association between cheerfulness and depression and (2) seriousness moderates the cheerfulness and HUS association. HUS had an indirect ef…
Do you “like” me? The roles of Facebook reassurance seeking and attachment style on depression
Excessive reassurance seeking and insecure attachment are known risk factors for depression. However, with the digitization of relationships through social media, it is unclear how these interpersonal vulnerabilities correspond to an online context. The objective of this study was to expand interpersonal theories of depression by evaluating online social behavior. This study assessed the influence of Facebook reassurance seeking on concurrent dep…
Development and Linguistic Cue Analysis of the State-Trait Cheerfulness Inventory–Short Form
The present study derived a short form of the State-Trait Cheerfulness Inventory-Trait Version (STCI-T30) using an item response theory framework. Latent trait test-retest correlations and reliability across the latent continuum in the STCI-T30 remained high. Moreover, the STCI-T30 showed external validity with criterion variables (e.g., playfulness) and a short writing task completed by these participants was rated by unacquainted judges to infe…
Dark triads, tetrads, tents, and cores
This comprehensive review summarizes and evaluates the present state of the Dark Triad research literature (or more broadly, the dark personality trait literature), and as such serves both a pedagogical purpose, by providing an introduction or primer on the dark personality literature and a scientific purpose by directing future research on key issues that still have not been sufficiently addressed. In this review, we discuss and critique current…
Developing a model of resilience in older adulthood
The study of resilience in an older adult population is expanding rapidly. However, most theoretical models of resilience have been developed with children or young to middle-aged adults. The objective of the present study was to review systematically the qualitative literature examining resilience in older adults, and to develop a comprehensive model of resilience in older adulthood. A qualitative meta-synthesis was conducted to review the quali…
A revised short version of the compassionate love scale for humanity (CLS-H-SF)
Using IRT, we obtained a brief, precise, and valid tool for assessing compassionate love
The Wiley Encyclopedia of Personality and Individual Differences
Emotional competence (EC) refers to individual differences in the way people identify, understand, express, regulate and use their own emotions and those of others. Research has shown that the level of EC is a significant determinant of crucial aspects of life: mental health and well-being, physical health, interpersonal relationships, and work performance. Although individual differences in EC show stability over time, intra-individual changes a…
Perfectionism and a Healthy Attitude toward Oneself
In the framework of the psychology of harmonization, the present study analyzes the relationships of humor styles with perfectionism, controlling for the effects of personality traits. One hundred and forty-eight Italian university students were administered the Italian versions of the HEXACO-60, the Humor Styles Questionnaire, and the short-form version of the Big Three Perfectionism Scale. Based on hierarchical regression analyses, humor styles…
The perniciousness of perfectionism
OBJECTIVE: Over 50 years of research implicates perfectionism in suicide. Yet the role of perfectionism in suicide needs clarification due to notable between-study inconsistencies in findings, underpowered studies, and uncertainty about whether perfectionism confers risk for suicide. We addressed this by meta-analyzing perfectionism's relationship with suicide ideation and attempts. We also tested whether self-oriented, other-oriented, and social…

Personality, Emotional Intelligence and Exercise
The associations of personality and self-report emotional intelligence (EI) with attitudes to exercise and self-reported exercise behaviour were investigated in a sample of 497 Canadian undergraduates. A positive attitude to exercise was negatively associated with Neuroticism and uncorrelated with other personality traits and EI. Exercise behaviour was positively associated with Extraversion and EI and negatively associated with Neuroticism. Stru…
Perfectionism erodes social self-esteem and generates depressive symptoms
Cultural Similarities in Perfectionism
This study supports the generalizability of perfectionistic strivings and concerns across Canadian and Chinese university students (N = 1,006) and demonstrates the importance of establishing measurement invariance prior to hypothesis testing with different groups. No latent mean difference in perfectionistic concerns was observed, but Canadian individuals reported higher perfectionistic strivings
The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire
This study investigated the structure and validity of the Italian translation of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. Data were self-reported from 227 participants. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the four-factor structure of the scale. Hierarchical regressions also demonstrated its incremental validity beyond demographics, the Big Five, emotion regulation strategies, and self-enhancement

A Person-Centered Perspective on Multidimensional Perfectionism in Canadian and Chinese University Students
This study investigated the generalizability of the tripartite model of perfectionism across Canadian and Chinese university students. Using latent profile analysis and indicators of perfectionistic strivings, perfectionistic concerns, and neuroticism in both groups, the authors derived a 3-profile solution: adaptive perfectionists, maladaptive perfectionists, and nonperfectionists. Furthermore, multigroup latent profile analysis supported the co…
Anger, Arousal, and Systematic Desensitization
The effect of systematic desensitization on semantic and physiological responses to anger-inducing scenes was examined with 20 nursing students. Pre- and post-treatment GSR, and semantic responses of a treatment and a no-treatment control group were obtained during exposure to anger-inducing scenes. Results supported the hypothesis that systematic desensitization reduces arousal and rated anger to the scenes
Factor Analysis of Repeated State Hostility and Guilt Measures
Factor Analysis of Repeated State Hostility and Guilt Measures
This study investigated the argument that trait estimates of hostility and guilt may be obtained from repeated testings with state measures. A sample of 77 male high school students were administered a checklist of 38 adjectives eight times over 4 wk. Stability of the items indicated by correlations for repeated-measures ranged from –.59 to .64. A factor analysis of items summed over administrations indicated that as many as seven factors may exi…
Antisocial Behavior and Psychoticism in Adolescent Schoolboys
Four groups of 20 adolescent boys were formed on the basis of self-report ratings of antisocial behavior and teachers' ratings of classroom misbehavior. Significant differences on Eysenck's psychoticism scale were obtained between both high vs low antisocial behavior groups and well behaved vs badly behaved teacher-rated groups. The interaction was not significant
Personality and Behavior Problems of Schoolboys
The present study examined the relationship of Eysenck's personality dimensions to two specific factors of school misbehavior. Subjects were grouped according to high or average scores obtained on the Devereux Elementary School Behavior Rating Scales of disrespect-defiance and classroom disturbance. 37 high scorers on the Devereux scales also scored significantly higher on the psychoticism scale and significantly lower on the extraversion and lie…
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Personality
The recently published Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire contains scales to measure the personality dimensions of Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism, as well as a Lie (dissimulation) factor. In view of the large volume of standardization data cross-cultural studies of personality structure are possible. The questionnaire was accordingly administered to a sample of New Zealand boys ( N = 644) and girls ( N = 672), aged from 7 to 15…
Eysenck's Theory of Criminality
The criminal propensity scale from the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was administered to five groups of adolescent boys. School boys were classified into four groups of 20 each by staff ratings and a self-report questionnaire of antisocial behavior. The fifth group of 20 was comprised of delinquent boys in detention. Well behaved boys, low in antisocial behavior, obtained significantly lower scores than all other groups. The highest sc…
The Quick Test
The Quick Test (1) is a brief individual rest of verbal comprehension. Evidence for the validity and reliability of the three forms has been described in some 100 studies ( 2 ) . For this study, subjects were 34 boys and 43 girls, ages 8-9 to 11-10 yr., in Grades 4 and 5. Three forms were randomly administered within two months of subjects' completing the Canadian Test of Basic Skills ( 3 ) and the Canadian LorgeThorndike Intelligence Tests ( 4 )…
Personality and Antisocial Behavior in Delinquent and Non-Delinquent Boys
The relation between antisocial behavior and personality was investigated in 72 well behaved schoolboys, 45 badly behaved schoolboys and 30 delinquent boys, aged 13 to 15 yr. The only significant difference between delinquents and badly behaved schoolboys was in the degree of antisocial behavior, suggesting that the latter might be the potential delinquents. Well behaved schoolboys differed from the other two groups in antisocial behavior and, in…
Comparison of the Wisc-R Patterns of Children of Average and Exceptional Ability
This study investigated the diagnostic usefulness of WISC-R Verbal-Performance IQ discrepancies, subtest scatter, and Bannatyne's subtest recategorizations with educationally normal and exceptional groups of children. The subjects for this study were four groups of 74 learning disabled, 24 mentally retarded, 94 gifted, and 85 educationally normal children. No significant differences in discrepancies in Verbal-Performance IQs occurred among the fo…
Relationship between Social Support and Selected Measures of Psychological Well-Being
This study investigated the relationship between the qualitative and quantitative dimensions of social support and various psychological variables, including loneliness, stress, self-esteem, locus of control, and psychological impairment. 104 volunteer undergraduate students were administered questionnaires evaluating each variable. On the basis of scores derived from the Social Relationships Scale, subjects were classified into four levels of so…
Impulsiveness and Venturesomeness in Canadian Children
542 Canadian boys and 508 Canadian girls completed the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire as well as the I 0 Junior Impulsiveness Inventory. Separate factor analyses of boys' and girls' I 0 responses yielded results similar to those obtained for British children although several items were either dropped or moved to a different scale. Correlations between the I 0 and junior scales resembled those reported for British children. Reliabilities…
Teachers' Efficacy and Teaching Behaviors
This two-part study examined the factor structure of the Teacher Efficacy Scale and correlations of this scale with the teaching behaviors of 435 student-teacher interns. The two resulting factors accounted for about 18% of the variance, and only three significant but small correlations were observed between the Personal Teacher Efficacy factor and lesson presenting, questioning, and classroom management behaviors
Stability of Wisc—R Scores for a Sample of Learning Disabled Children
The study was designed to assess the stability of WISC-R profiles of 36 learning disabled children given the WISC-R two times. The mean time between tests was 2.5 yr. The pattern reported for learning disabled children on Bannatyne's categories was evident for the group at both times, however, this pattern was not found for the majority of subjects. Analysis indicated a decrease over time in Verbal IQs, Full Scale IQs, and Bannatyne's Conceptual …
Coping and Personality
146 women and 47 men were given the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. Neuroticism accounted for 37% of the variance in emotion-focused coping. Personality was not a substantial predictor of other coping strategies

Invariance of the Measurement Model Underlying the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—III in the United States and Canada
A measurement model is invoked whenever a psychological interpretation is placed on test scores. When stated in detail, a measurement model provides a description of the numerical and theoretical relationship between observed scores and the corresponding latent variables or constructs. In this way, the hypothesis that similar meaning can be derived from a set of test scores can be tested by examination of a measurement model across groups. This s…

Invariance of the Measurement Model Underlying the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV in the United States and Canada
A measurement model describes both the numerical and theoretical relationship between observed scores and the corresponding latent variables or constructs. Testing a measurement model across groups is required to determine if the tests scores are tapping the same constructs so that the same meaning can be ascribed to the scores. Contemporary tests of intelligence describe a number of closely related cognitive abilities, each ability being sampled…
