A recent study found that extraversion predicts neural activity in the brain's reward evaluation region, which may influence decision-making. Additionally, research suggests that personality traits such as conscientiousness are linked to better health outcomes, including lower obesity and higher life expectancy.
A study at the University of Missouri School of Journalism developed a method to help advertisers target online audiences by knowing their personality types. Researchers found that individuals who liked high-risk activities tend to update their status, upload photos, and interact with friends frequently, while those who are more reserv...
Researchers from North Carolina State University developed a system to measure brand personality appeal (BPA), allowing companies to understand how favorably their brand is viewed by consumers. The BPA framework assesses three components: favorability, originality, and clarity, grading brands on their overall appeal.
Researchers found that some negative personality traits, such as caution and skepticism, were associated with improved leadership development and performance. The study suggests that a nuanced approach to leadership may be necessary, taking into account individual traits and context.
A new study found that sex-typed characteristics, such as kindness and independence, develop differently in girls and boys, with girls exhibiting higher levels of expressive traits and interest in 'feminine' activities, while boys show higher levels of instrumental traits and interest in 'masculine' activities.
Psychologists at U of T create a bias-resistant personality inventory that predicts real-world performance even when respondents are trying to fake their answers. The study shows that traditional personality questionnaires fail to predict outcomes when respondents have strong incentive to distort the results.
A seven-year study found that individuals who take time to reflect on their losses are more likely to mature and achieve a potentially more durable sense of happiness. Participants who acknowledged past loss showed personality development over time.
A combination of negative personality traits such as depression, anxiety and hostility significantly increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease. The study, conducted on 2,105 military veterans, found that individuals with these traits had a higher risk of heart disease when compared to those without the traits.
A new study found a correlation between childhood socioeconomic status and adult pessimism, with high SES individuals exhibiting more optimism. Children from low SES backgrounds who experience upward mobility may not develop adaptive coping strategies, limiting their ability to benefit from later success.
A study at Mayo Clinic found an association between anxious and pessimistic personality types and the future development of Parkinson's disease. Individuals with these personality traits have a higher risk of developing the disease, but the exact reason for this link remains unclear.
The Sandia Red Team has demonstrated that competent outsiders can hack into almost all networked computers, regardless of their security measures. The team's goal is to improve the security of information systems by identifying weaknesses and providing recommendations for improvement.
