This article seeks to provide a reflective approach to understand the spiritual personality, based on experimental psychology. It delves into the development of experimental psychology and its socio-historical contexts. Through experiments, interactions with multiple variables are established according to specific contexts and circumstances, as seen in the cases of Asch, Milgran and Zimbardo. These cases are analyzed considering the guiding principles of the Nuremberg Code, the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, and the 2008 Universal Declaration of Ethical Principles for Psychologists. Therefore, experimentation lays the foundations for experimental psychology, which has evolved, allowing new approaches and interpretations within the field of psychology. Building on these arguments, the concept of personality is embraced with reference to the foundations of psychology as a scientific discipline seeking to understand the value of personality from the ontological and spiritual perspective of the human being.

The aim of the study was to analyze the psychological variables that predict problem gambling in 173 engineering students, men and women, from the first years of study at a private university in Lima, Perú. The age range was 16 to 23 years (M = 17.9, SD = 1.2) and the participants answered the following tests: the Personality Inventory NEO FFI (NEO Five-Factor Inventory, Costa & McCrae, 1992), the Academic Stress Inventory (SISCO, Barraza, 2007a), the Time Management Behavior Questionnaire (TMBQ, Macan, 1994) version translated into Spanish by García-Ros and Pérez-González (2012), and the South Oaks Gambling Screen, Revised for Adolescents (SOGS-RA, Becoña, 1997). The results indicated that the management of free time is a moderate predictor of problem gambling (standardized coefficient = -.33), followed by the agreeableness personality's factor (standardized coefficient = -.29), while academic stress showed lower predictive capacity (standardized coefficient = .10). The results are discussed in relation to possible ways to prevent problem gambling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Care has become an organizational factor that, in addition to facilitating selection processes, indicates the skills and aptitudes of health personnel. Therefore, this research article aimed to describe the characteristics of personality and care in the care staff of a health institution in the city of Pasto during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method was worked from a quantitative perspective and a cross-sectional descriptive design. The sample consisted of 164 collaborators. CUIDA was the instrument applied for the collection of information. The findings showed significant levels in the dimensions of empathy and tolerance to frustration, highlighting the differences between gender and age groups. The study concludes that some of the challenges evidenced during the pandemic made it possible to identify key preconditions for user care, which should be considered as key aspects in organizational decision-making.

Personality is one of the central constructs of psychology, however, its extensive scales can hinder its inclusion in various studies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify whether the two short versions of the Big Five Inventory (BFI-15p and BFI-10p) present evidence of validity and reliability in a sample of 451 Mexican university students. (57.2% women; Mage=20.84). The BFI-15p and BFI-10p were analyzed through exploratory structural equation modeling (WLSMV estimation method and geomin rotation), and it was found that the BFI-15p presented a satisfactory fit index and a coherent internal structure, as well as significant associations with a brief measure of emotional intelligence. The construct reliability coefficients and scores were also adequate. It was concluded that the BFI-15p presents satisfactory psychometric properties for use with university students.

The present study aimed at the development and psychometric validation of a new personality inventory. Based on the Big Five theoretical model, its development process took place over three studies. Study 1 was dedicated to the development and construction of the items; Study 2 of an exploratory nature, intended to assess the behavior of the items and the participants' reaction to them; and Study 3, of a confirmatory nature, aimed at validating the results obtained in the exploratory factor analysis. The results found show that this inventory has very satisfactory psychometric properties, and as such is a valid and reliable instrument that could be an alternative to the instruments currently used in recruitment and selection processes.

Young lawbreakers with an antisocial structure suffer alterations in their social cognition, which is reflected in their difficulty to interact with others in an appropriate way and to put themselves in the place of others as a symbol of empathy. The findings of a systematic literature review are presented to answer the following research questions: What are the characteristics of empathy and sympathy in lawbreakers? What are the characteristics of moral reasoning in lawbreakers? Articles, books and specialized publications in scientific databases were reviewed. It is concluded that the offender of the law with antisocial structure has a neurobiological functioning different from the common offender, specifically in the brain areas associated with the responses of empathy, sympathy and moral reasoning. In these, pleasant biological responses are activated in the face of situations that generate feelings of compassion and pain in the majority of the population. The findings show that people with antisocial structure feel satisfaction before the pain of others, demonstrating effects on social cognition, this being an issue of interest and topicality for neurosciences and social neuropsychology.

Personality dimensions and their relationship with prosocial tendencies and empathy were analyzed in 69 children and adolescents in psychosocial vulnerability (Manizales, Colombia). The Big Five questionnaire, the prosocial tendencies scale and the interpersonal reactivity index were used. Correlations (p<.05) were found between prosocial tendencies: anonymous, emergence, emotional and the dimensions of agreeableness and extraversion. Perspective taking and empathic concern were correlated with agreeableness, conscientiousness and extraversion. Structural equation analysis showed that agreeableness, empathic concern and emotional prosocial tendency provided a predictor effect on prosocial emergence tendency (r²=.51). Conscientiousness, extraversion, prosocial emergence and emotional prosocial tendencies predicted perspective taking (r²=.41). Extraversion, emotional prosocial tendency and perspective taking predict anonymous prosocial tendency (r²=.26). Agreeableness and conscientiousness predict empathic concern (r²=.24).

Introduction. Work accidents involving exposure to biological hazards (ATBIO for its Spanish original) are potential causes of infectious diseases related to high morbidity and mortality rates. The identification of the causes that produce such accident rate will enable the implementation of strategies to control and reduce work-related accidents. The objective was establishing the association between personality traits, particularly the personality trait of unconcern, and the occurrence of ATBIO among the nursing staff of Hospital Universitario de Santander in the period from 2008 to 2009. Methodology. Case-control study. Results. The study included 68 (18%) cases with ATBIO history and 290 controls, for a case-to-control ratio of 1:4. The multivariate analysis found the following variables associated with work-accident rate involving biological hazards: perceiving the risk of an ATBIO at work as high, OR: 0.42 (CI 95% 0.23 - 0.75); working 24 or more additional hours per week, OR: 2.66 (CI 95% 1.34 - 5.28); working in the emergency room, OR: 2.72 (CI 95% 1.38 - 5.35); not wearing gloves when they are required for the task, OR: 2.05 (CI 95% 1.10 - 3.79), and perceiving the risk as high reduces the risk by 60%. Conclusion. Significant variables were identified related to the occurrence of work accidents, which will facilitate planning, execution and implementation of occupational health programs aimed at controlling work-accident rate involving biological hazards. No evidence was found of a relationship between personality traits and the occurrence of ATBIO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research analyzes the application of new concepts such as Marcus Gabriel's field of meaning (2019), Jean Baudrillard's simulation (2010) and Byung-Chul Han (2018ª) positivization to research related to the participation of individuals in the digital space. The research aims to expand the theoretical approach to these topics beyond psychosocial analysis, seeking a phenomenological reflection that allows us to inquire who is the man in front of the screen? And how to understand their actions and their multiple facets in their digital social networks? To anchor the concepts, a brief analysis is made taking two events of impersonated users on social networks. Finally, the need arises for the study of the phenomena of digital networks to be separated from traditional areas of study that correspond to other social reflections, allowing these problems to be thought from new concepts that take a look beyond the productive operation of the Internet and delve into the anthropological change that they are generating through positivization, the spectacular and the modification of the image and similarity of what each Internet user would like to see of himself.

This research studied the Emotional Stories Organization Test (TOHE), a performance test in which the participant organizes figures to form a coherent story, with the possibility of choosing the emotional reactions of the characters. A total of 1550 Brazilian people responded to the TOHE and to other psychological measures. The Organization score (i.e., coherent organization of the drawings) was related to fluid intelligence, emotional intelligence, and empathy. The Neuroticism score (i.e., histories with dysphoric contents) was related to emotional instability, low resistance to frustration, unpleasant experiences of emotions, and less satisfaction with life. The Aggressiveness score (i.e., stories with aggression content) was related to aggressive behaviors, hostile view of interactions, and less agreeableness. In addition, the test displayed adequate temporal stability and correlations among its scores. These results are considered validity evidence for TOHE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adolescence is the stage of life with the greatest potential for psychosocial development in young people, but it also presents many risks associated with criminal behaviour. The objective of this article is to identify personality factors, expected concerns, and clinical syndromes from the evaluation of the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory scale as a predictor of criminal behaviour in adolescents from an educational institution in Bogotá. Descriptive observational field research was carried out, in which the scale was applied to a sample of 53 schoolchildren between the ages of 13 and 19, selected for convenience, because they are part of the counselling and psychological support for behaviours that go against the coexistence manual and school regulations. In the personality patterns, there were minimal differences between the two groups of students under and over 16 years of age, with the highest scores for the group under 16 years of age on the submissive scales with 51 (± 8), conformist with 50 (± 10), histrionic with 34 (± 12) and egocentric (± 12). For the expected concerns scale, it was observed that the highest averages were in the group over 16 years of age, in the categories of body disapproval with 12 (± 9), social insensitivity with 27 (± 8), family discord with 16 (± 7), identity diffusion with 18 (± 8), self-deviation with 28 (± 14), group insecurity with 14 (± 7) and child abuse with 10 (± 7). Regarding the presence of clinical syndromes, significantly high scores are presented for the two groups in the anxiety category with an average value of 34 (± 6), followed by predisposition to crime with an average of 20.42 (± 5), and depressive affect with a mean of 19 (± 11), as possible risk predictors. The MACI results allowed identifying factors that predispose behaviour contrary to coexistence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A review of articles that deal with the issues about executive functions, personality and response styles (dissimulation) in the penitentiary field is carried out, to focus on the terms mentioned there from an integrative perspective. This, because the mind, cognitive processes and executive functions are the fundamental basis for a person's personality to be constituted as what we know daily as attitudes and behaviors, which can possibly lead people to take decisions or establish patterns of behavior according to a specific purpose. This review will try to ensure that the Terms that are defined provide clarity and motivation to continue with the revision of the topic, which has been little explored, establishing the possible relationship between them, taking into account the prison context.

In this article violence on audiovisual media is discussed, specifically that on TV shows. These shows are targeted for an audience under the age of 18 and the characters depicted are apparently innocuous, but in most of the times their behavior is controversial, inappropriate or even antisocial. Being continuously exposed to such behavior could negatively influence on the audience's personality development; this argument is supported with examples and a discursive logic that proposes key questions, looking to arise the public opinion with a critic focus. The main objective is to protect the emotional intelligence and assertiveness of the children, keeping them from situations in which they could otherwise be easily targeted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aimed to analyzewhether positive traits could explain optimal functioning, the combination of high well-being and performance, of active workers. The sample comprised 400 active Argentinean workers between the ages of 18 and 66 years old (MAGE=36.50, SD=11.81, 49.5% male, 50.5% female). Multiple lineal regressions revealed that positive traits increase the explained variance of the work variables (performance, satisfaction and well-being) in comparison to a prediction model that only included normal traits. Also, discriminant analysis revealed that of all traits, positive and normal, the only one that better discriminated the high/low optimal functioning groups was the positive trait sprightliness.

In order to determine if the Conscientiousness trait of personality is a good predictor of the attitude towards the thesis, a predictive correlative study was carried out with a population of 83 university students of a Scientific Society. The conscientiousness sub-scale of the NEO PI-R personality inventory and the attitude scale towards the realization of a thesis were applied. The results show that the facets of competence, sense of duty and reflection are what significantly predict the attitude towards the university thesis; likewise, a direct and moderate association is observed between both variables. The predominance of the conscientiousness trait in the personality profile of university students involved in research groups predicts favorable attitudes towards the elaboration of degree work.

Introduction. Internationally, there have been several studies carried out in order to demonstrate the relationship between a high level of Sensation Seeking and illegal drug abuse. However, few studies in Colombia replicate those results. The objective is to examine the difference of Sensation Seeking personality trait and its subscales in the behaviour of drug abuse on two Colombian samples, consumers and non-consumers, measured through the Sensation Seeking Scale-V (Zuckerman & Kulhman, 1980) Methodology. 341 adult subjects, from both genders, composed the sample, half of them were consumers of illegal drugs and half of them non-consumers, assessed through Sensation Seeking Scale Version V Results. There is a significant difference between consumers and non-consumers within the general scale and three subscales of the trait (Thrill and Adventure Seeking, Experience Seeking and Disinhibition) Discussion. Differences between the scores of consumers and non-consumers sample regarding the general trait and subtraits show the relevance of personality factors regarding substance abuse, independently than social and learning factors are influential as well Conclusions. There is a link between Sensation Seeking and substance abuse showing the importance of the level of the trait in the multivariate phenomenon of substance dependence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. The study of personality is complex due to a multiplicity of factors (biological, psychological, social and cultural, among others). Traits indicate a personality that is functional (healthy) or dysfunctional (pathological). The most outstanding personality studies focus on personality disorders or abnormalities. In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a higher prevalence of bipolar affective disorder (60 million patients), schizophrenia and other psychoses (21 million patients), and dementia (47.5 million patients). However, there are few studies of mental health in people with a functional personality, as considered in this research. The WHO assets that mental health is more than the absence of mental disorders and it is an integral part of health, since there is no health without mental health. The objective is to describe the personality traits of parents attending health checkups with their children at public and private healthcare entities (2013-2015). Methodology. Descriptive cross-sectional study that assesses 14 personality variables; convenience sample: 145 parents attending health check-ups with their children at local public hospitals in Girón and Bucaramanga, and private social company "The Rehabilitation Committee" (Medellín). Information was gathered using the sociodemographic questionnaire and the CUIDA Test (Questionnaire for the Assessment of Adoptive Parents, Caregivers, Guardians and Mediators). Results. 93.1% of the parents or caregivers are women and 6.9% are men; 84.8% aged between 30 and 59; their socioeconomic levels are 1, 2 and 3; 50% are single mothers. The parents or caregivers with a functional personality showed weaknesses on test scores, as they showed emotional dependency, low self-esteem, low frustration tolerance, limited flexibility, difficulty in establishing emotional ties and low grief resolution capacity, among others. Few parents had high scores on the factors that benefit the care of their children: between 0% and 22.9%. Conclusions. In the sample, mostly made up of single mothers, few achieved the high-test scores that were expected in people with a functional personality. On the contrary, low scores predominated, which are not very favorable for the care for children's health. Personality traits, whether they are functional or not, are transmitted more in the child rearing process by mothers than by fathers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Futsal is a sport known and practiced by millions of people around the world. However, there are few scientific studies about distinct facets of personality associated with impulsive behavior, which can help coaches to optimize their sport performance. The aim of this study was to analyze the variables related to impulsivity in elite futsal players, based on their playing position. In this study participated 111 elite futsal players (age M = 25.44, DT = 4.62) of the National Futsal League in the 2014/2015 season. The UPPS-P impulsivity questionnaire adapted was used and an ANOVA test was performed taking into account the playing position (goalkeepers, defenders, wings and wing-defenders, pivots and wing-pivots and universal). The results showed a lower score in the impulsivity traits, specifically in the sensation seeking dimension, in those players with a defensive role, and particularly in the goalkeepers compared with the universals (p <.05). In addition, a profile of greater general impulsivity is observed in the pivots, wing-pivots and universals. In conclusion, this study has shown the existence of certain di!erentiated profiles of impulsivity among the futsal players according to their role. Although we must be cautious expecting the confirmation of future studies, these findings highlighted the convenience of considering personality traits as predictors of performance in talent detection and development programs in this sport.

The Structural Summary (SS) of the MMPI-A has been developed as a strategy to aggregate the information about adolescent personality and psychopathology that the MMPI-A provides. In this study, we analyzed the factorial structure of the MMPI-A at scale and subscale levels with a nonclinical sample of 572 Portuguese adolescents. We replicated the studies of Archer, Belevich, and Elkins, and of Archer and Krishnamurthy, with the American MMPI-A normative sample. The factorial analysis revealed an organization of the MMPIA scales and subscales in eight factors, in a structure consistent with the MMPI-A SS, and which explains 72% of the results variability. We named the eight dimensions as follows: General Maladjustment, Disinhibition / Excitatory Potential, Social Discomfort, Behavioral Problems, Health Concerns, Immaturity, Conflictuality and Familial Alienation, and Social Avoidance. The results are discussed regarding the clinical utility of the SS in psychological assessment processes with the MMPI-A, and with Portuguese adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study conducted convergent validation on participant's identification with the prototypical values of histrionic personality disorder repertoire, an important part of acceptance and commitment psychotherapy (ACT). The Multiaxial Inventory of Personality (MCMI - III) was administered to two mixed groups of participants (cases versus controls). Participants were also interviewed using the SCID- II,and a structured interview The content analysis of the structured interviews showed that participants with the disorder had the highest mean in the "A-R-VP self-report identification" at all the 12 values examined on a 0 to 5 point scale, with scores closer to 5. Meanwhile, those without the disorder had scores of identification between 0 and 1. The results of the Student t test confirmed the findings. People with histrionic personality disorder identify themselves with a repertoire of twelve characteristic values of this disorder. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to conduct a review of studies carried out in Spanish language on cognitive and systemic behavioural therapy for borderline personality disorder (BDP). Method: within consulted databases, ProQues, Springer, Web of Science, Dialnet, Redalyc and Scielo were considered, among others. 123 studies were found. 63 were pre-selected. Finally, a total of 39 studies were selected. Results: the findings show that 44% of selected studies propose a cognitive-behavioral treatment, 8% a systemic perspective and 69% a comprehensive treatment. Other important aspects include 62% that belong to Spain, 23% were carried out in the year 2013 and 64% are theoretical studies and documentary reviews. Also notable is that dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is the most named in the studies. As for systemic therapy (ST), there are few publications. However, the studies include the family as a key agent within the comprehensive interventions as well as in etiologic hypotheses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study was to analyze how the relationship between the perfectionism of the athletes and their goal orientations at individual level is affected by the perception of the motivational climate generated by the coach at team level. Participants were 144 athletes of both genders, belonging to 18 different sports teams, who answered a set of questionnaires to measure the study variables. Results of the multilevel hierarchical model showed that individual differences in task orientation were predicted by individual factors (striving for perfectionism), and team factors (perceptions of task-involving climate and ego-involving climate created by the coach). Additionally, ego-involving climate moderated the relationship between the striving for perfectionism and task orientation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the study of sports injuries the personality play a prominent position, by the influence of particular traits on the occurrence thereof. In addition, high-performance sports are high-demanding which involve exposure to multiple risk factors, including psychological risk factors. This study analyses the role of personality on injuries of elite athletes. The sample is composed by 38 athletes, members of their respective national teams. Personality was assessed using 16PF-5 and injuries were recorded with an ad-hoc questionnaire. Results show significant correlations between the number of injuries and Tension and Social Boldness scales. Considering the type of injury, athletes with overuse injuries have higher scores in Vigilance, Privateness and Self-Reliance, and lower scores in Dominance, Rule-Consciousness and Self- Control. Regarding the mechanism of injury, athletes injured by overloading show higher scores on Vigilance, Tension and Anxiety than other athletes injured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Viennese psychiatrist Rudolf Allers has been virtually relegated to oblivion, despite being quite relevant in the past. He developed a founding program in psychiatry, that of psychopathology (specifically neurosis), and characterology in Catholic anthropology, specifically Thomist. The article briefly discusses Allers's main ideas on the distinction between person and character, and the relationship between character and values. The objective is to update his potential relevance for a critique of contemporary psychology, independent of any metaphysical reference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
