Intertemporal decision-making is the behavior of choosing between a smaller, more immediate reward and a larger, delayed reward. Delay discounting (DD) is the process by which the subjective value of an identified gain decreases as the delay in receiving it increases. Individuals with a high rate of DD tend to overvalue immediate benefits and make choices with detrimental long-term consequences. The present study aimed to assess the influence of the Big Five personality traits on intertemporal decision-making, considering the effects of sociodemographic covariates and psychopathological symptoms (anxiety, depression, and stress). The sample consisted of 520 Brazilian adults, with a mean age of 27.3 years (SD = 4.7) and 70.2% female. They completed an online survey, which included the Big Five Inventory (BFI- 5), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Monetary Choice Questionnaire (MCQ-27). The results indicated that approximately 9% of the variance in DD is explained by mean family income, anxiety, agreeableness, neuroticism, and extraversion. Specifically regarding the influence of personality, 1.7% of DD was explained by agreeableness, 0.7% by extroversion, and 0.6% by neuroticism. These findings suggest that certain personal attributes contribute to increased DD, regardless of mean family income and emotional health status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RESUMO: Este estudo se insere no campo de investigação que trata da formação de professores, a fim de compreender como esses profissionais se formam em um contexto coletivo, como o de um grupo de estudos e pesquisas. Neste artigo apresenta-se uma interpretação de ações realizadas em um grupo de estudos e pesquisas, que, a partir de alguns princípios, podem orientar a formação docente dos professores que participam dele. Tenciona-se essa formação na perspectiva da atividade, com base na premissa de que um coletivo de grupo de estudos e pesquisas que prima por ações que ultrapassam suas dimensões estruturantes oferece uma formação que, com qualidades novas, transforma os sujeitos que participam dele. Assim, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa a partir dos pressupostos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural, com o objetivo de compreender princípios que orientam a formação de professores em um coletivo. Os dados foram produzidos a partir da análise de ações realizadas em um grupo de estudos e pesquisas, com 18 integrantes, vinculados ao grupo como acadêmicas da graduação, professoras cursando a pós-graduação e/ou professoras da Educação Básica ou do Ensino Superior que participam de seus projetos. O processo analítico, a partir da dialética entre a dimensão orientadora e executora, procurou identificar princípios orientadores da formação docente no grupo a partir das diferentes ações que ele desenvolve. Os resultados apontam que essas ações permitem que os princípios se efetivem para que ocorra a formação dos sujeitos na perspectiva de uma personalidade coletivista, a partir da unidade afetivo-cognitiva constituída no processo de participação no grupo/coletivo, o que pode contribuir com o desenvolvimento da personalidade dos sujeitos que participam dele

Resumo A Romantic Beliefs Scale (RBS) foi desenvolvida para acessar crenças sobre romantismo, que podem impactar na formação e qualidade de relacionamentos românticos. Tais crenças podem ser acessadas por meio de quatro fatores que representam o amor romântico ideal, sendo elas: Um e único, Idealização, Amor à primeira vista e Amor encontra uma maneira. Este estudo buscou evidências de validade para a RBS em um contexto brasileiro baseadas na estrutura interna e relações com as variáveis satisfação com o relacionamento e personalidade (Cinco Grandes Fatores e Investimento Emocional). Responderam a um questionário on-line 818 brasileiros com média de idade de 30,7 anos (DP= 14,1), sendo 73,2% mulheres. A escala apresentou evidências de validade baseadas na estrutura interna do instrumento e na relação com outras variáveis, e melhor ajuste a um modelo de fator de segunda ordem explicando os quatro fatores da escala original. Foram encontradas correlações positivas entre os fatores da RBS-Brasil e os fatores de personalidade Extroversão, Socialização e Realização, a Satisfação com o relacionamento e o Investimento emocional.

Introdução: O Diabetes Mellitus é uma das doenças crônicas mais complexas do ponto de vista psicológico, pois os aspectos psicológicos, incluindo o tipo de personalidade, podem influenciar em um pior prognóstico da doença, comprometendo a adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso, bem como mudanças nos hábitos de vida. Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre personalidade e risco cardiovascular em pessoas com diabetes tipo 2 atendidas na Atenção Primária a Saúde.

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.

This study delves into the influential dynamics between the Big Five personality traits and subjective career success in the Ukrainian IT industry, offering a new perspective in career development research. Traditionally, career success research focused on human capital attributes and demographic factors, while dispositional factors such as personality remained underexplored. This research fills this gap, especially relevant in modern, non-linear organizational environments. The study engages IT professionals in Ukraine, using surveys to assess the relationship between their personality traits, based on the Big Five Inventory-2, and their subjective career success, measured through the Subjective Career Success Inventory. The analysis includes 150 complete responses from various demographics within the IT sector, ensuring a comprehensive examination of the dispositional factors influencing career success. Results reveal significant correlations between personality traits and career success perceptions. Extraversion demonstrates a substantial positive relationship with career success, aligning with the hypothesis that sociability, assertiveness, and enthusiasm are advantageous in professional settings. Agreeableness also shows a positive correlation, suggesting that cooperative and empathetic traits enhance career experiences and success perceptions. Conscientiousness is positively correlated with career success, emphasizing the importance of organization, diligence, and reliability in achieving career goals. Contrary to expectations, neuroticism exhibits a positive correlation with career success, indicating complex dynamics that might involve factors like increased career-driven motivation among neurotic individuals. Openness, with a modest but significant positive correlation, suggests that creativity and openness to new experiences hold value in the IT industry, albeit not as primary drivers of career success. The study's findings on the relationships between personality traits and various facets of career success offer deeper insights. Extraversion correlates positively with aspects like recognition, quality of work, and career satisfaction. Agreeableness positively influences the perception of meaningful work and authenticity. Conscientiousness strongly correlates with recognition and quality of work, while neuroticism shows a mixed relationship, impacting authenticity and work-life balance negatively. Openness, while showing a smaller effect, contributes positively to career growth opportunities and overall satisfaction. In summary, the study illuminates the crucial role of personality traits in shaping career success, particularly in the dynamic IT sector. It underscores the importance of social engagement, assertiveness, cooperation, organization, and creativity in professional development. The negative impact of neurotic traits highlights the need for supportive work environments and stress management strategies. These insights are invaluable for both individuals and organizations in understanding and fostering career success in the modern workplace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este estudo teve como objetivos: 1) Avaliar se as dimensões do apego podem ser preditoras dos Esquemas Iniciais Desadaptativos (EIDs); 2) analisar a relação entre o estilo de apego e os EIDs; 3) examinar a relação entre a ativação dos EIDs e as variáveis "morar sozinho", "morar com os pais" ou "morar com os colegas". Participaram 60 estudantes universitários, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 18 e 26 anos. Utilizou-se um método transversal de coleta de dados, com aplicação de instrumentos de avaliação de esquemas e estilos de apego. A análise dos dados teve enfoque quantitativo. Foi identificado que estudantes com estilos de apego seguro apresentam menos EIDs ativados e que as dimensões de apego são capazes de predizer a ativação de esquemas do primeiro domínio. Ainda, existem diferenças estatísticas com relação a ativação dos EIDs na comparação das variáveis morar sozinho e com companhia. Discute-se a importância do apego seguro para uma menor ativação de EIDs em jovens universitários, bem como suas implicações. Ainda, ressalta-se a importância da rede de apoio próxima nesse momento do desenvolvimento.

Background Some psychological and personality characteristics of individuals seem to determine behavioral patterns that are associated with better health throughout life and, consequently, prevent the progression of early cognitive changes to dementia.

Este artigo objetivou compreender o processo terapêutico proporcionado por uma prática interventiva de curta-duração centrada em pessoas com problemas de autoimagem corporal e autoestima. Seguindo um delineamento metodológico qualitativo, a pesquisa e as intervenções terapêuticas aconteceram sob a influência do desenho de pesquisa-ação. Trabalhou-se com as seguintes etapas: planejamento do processo terapêutico à luz das condições necessárias e suficientes para mudança de personalidade e as fases do processo terapêutico; desenvolvimento da prática de ajuda; monitoramento da ação a partir da supervisão, revisão dos atendimentos e entrevistas semiestruturadas com os participantes; análise fenomenológica empírica dos impactos afetivos da terapia a partir da perspectiva dos clientes atendidos; entendimento disso a partir do referencial rogeriano. Foram elaborados e discutidos os seguintes eixos temáticos relacionados ao processo terapêutico: fatores que levaram à busca por ajuda psicológica e constituíram a atmosfera terapêutica; significação negativa da experiência corporal; significação real da experiência de autoestima em relação ao corpo; mudanças de atitudes em relação à percepção de si e ao autocuidado. Concluiu-se que a terapia centrada na pessoa produziu impactos afetivos significativos que ajudaram esses clientes a lidar com suas experiências de imagem corporal e autoestima.

Os afetos sempre tiveram um foco de atenção especial no trabalho de Carl Gustav Jung. Desde sua pesquisa com os estudos de associação de palavras, de onde nasceu a teoria dos complexos, Jung defendeu a importância dos afetos na constituição da psique, especialmente nas manifestações inconscientes. Da mesma forma, Jaak Panksepp, o pai da neurociência afetiva, demonstrou a importância dos sistemas emocionais primários na organização da personalidade dos seres humanos e afirmou que o sucesso dos processos terapêuticos depende da estimulação desses mesmos sistemas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo traçar um paralelo entre a importância dos afetos dentro da abordagem junguiana e a teoria dos afetos do neurocientista Jaak Panksepp. Os trabalhos de Jung e de Panksepp deram origem a teorias da personalidade. O teste de personalidade Myers-Brigs Type Indicator – MBTI tem como base a psicologia analítica, enquanto Affective Neuroscience Personality Scale – ANPS foi baseada na neurociência afetiva. Ambas as escalas possuem dimensões que podem ser correlacionadas. Além disso, o psiquiatra Iain McGilchrist observou a relação da linguagem simbólica/metafórica com os sistemas emocionais subcorticais do cérebro e com o hemisfério cerebral direito. McGilchrist também observou que esse tipo de linguagem é mais efetiva em ativar os centros emocionais do cérebro do que a linguagem denotativa. Essas convergências entre a psicologia analítica e a neurociência são evidências de que o material simbólico pode fornecer estímulos afetivos benéficos para o desenvolvimento da personalidade, além de influenciar positivamente na efetividade dos processos terapêuticos.

O presente estudo objetivou verificar o papel mediador da orientação à dominância social na relação entre o núcleo da tríade sombria da personalidade e o ambientalismo. Participaram 305 pessoas com idades entre 18 e 77 anos (Midade = 26,4; DPidade = 11,25; 59,7 % mulheres). Os resultados indicaram que entre os 8 traços de personalidade analisados, considerando os modelos dos Cinco Grandes Fatores e da Tríade Sombria, apenas a psicopatia se correlacionou com ambientalismo, sendo que este se correlacionou moderadamente com a orientação à dominância social. Considerando que os três traços sombrios são talhados por déficits empáticos, baixa amabilidade e honestidade/humildade, testou-se o efeito do núcleo da tríade sombria da personalidade para a predição do ambientalismo, observando-se efeitos diretos. Contudo, tais efeitos diretos não se mantiveram estatisticamente significativos com a inclusão da orientação à dominância social, configurando uma mediação completa, posto que o núcleo da tríade sombria predisse indiretamente o ambientalismo. Logo, observa-se que a orientação à dominância social funciona como um mecanismo que possibilita pessoas com traços sombrios não se preocuparem com o meio ambiente, explorando-o em benefício próprio.

This study presents the Brazilian version of the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS), one of the most widely used instruments for assessing perfectionism in young people. The objective of this study was to present the adaptation and evidence of validity for the CAPS in Brazilian Portuguese. The study was conducted on 599 adolescents (Mean age = 15.46 SD = 1.15), 66% girls. We investigated CAPS's internal structure, measurement properties according to age and sex, and its relationship with other questionnaires. We found a good fit for a two-factor structure for the CAPS controlling for an acquiescent responding style. We found evidence of invariance across participants' sex and lack of bias (using a MIMIC approach) due to participant age. The CAPS scores were associated with personality traits and a measure of mental health. The CAPS can be used as a questionnaire to assess perfectionism in Brazilian adolescents.

The study aimed to: 1) Assess if Attachment dimensions can be predictive of early maladaptive schemas (EIDs); 2) Analyze the relationship between Attachment style and EIDs; 3) Access the relationship between activation of EIDs and the variables "living alone", "with parents" or "with peers". Sixty university students of both sexes aged between 18 and 26 years participated. A cross-sectional method of data collection was used, with the application of instruments for evaluating attaachment schemes and styles. The data analysis had a quantitative approach. It was identified that students with secure attachment styles present fewer activated EIDs and that attachment dimensions are able to predict the activation of schemas in the first domain. Still, there are statistical differences regarding the activation of the EIDs when comparing the variables living alone and with a partner. The importance of secure attachment for lower activation of EIDs in university students is discussed, as well as its implications. Also, the importance of the close support network at this time of development is emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Trata-se de um fragmento de notas de uma aula ministrada por V. V. Repkin, em 1975, para estudantes do Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade Estatal de Kharkiv, dedicada ao problema da psicologia da imaginação. Os julgamentos do autor, expressos quase cinquenta anos atrás, colocam de manifesto a sua preocupação com a educação da personalidade da criança como objetivo fundamental da teoria da aprendizagem desenvolvimental, em lugar da mera assimilação de conceitos teóricos.

A velhice é um estágio do desenvolvimento humano marcado por mudanças anatômicas, fisiológicas e cognitivas, influenciadas por fatores ambientais e pela interação pregressa do indivíduo. Além disso, a personalidade, definida pelos Cinco Grandes Fatores, desempenha um papel importante na forma como os idosos enfrentam essas transformações e interagem com o ambiente. Este estudo teve como objetivo discutir aspectos da personalidade da pessoa idosa, com base no processo de envelhecer. Para tal, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura utilizando os descritores “envelhecimento” e “personalidade” nas bases de dados SciELO, PubMed e Google Acadêmico. Foi possível identificar que os traços de personalidade estão associados a comportamentos, sentimentos, motivações e saúde mental, destacando-se a relação entre neuroticismo e sintomatologia depressiva. Estudos evidenciam diferenças de gênero na expressão dos traços, bem como sua influência no funcionamento cognitivo e nas decisões financeiras. Além disso, intervenções cognitivas demonstraram que menores níveis de neuroticismo e extroversão podem promover estabilidade e melhora nos resultados. A resiliência psicológica emerge como um fator protetor no envelhecimento, associada a melhor autoestima, funcionalidade física e independência, destacando a importância de abordagens interdisciplinares para promover o bem-estar dos idosos.

The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) is a self-report scale that aims to provide information about psychopathology, personality, and the psychosocial environment of a person, all of which are important constructs for clinical decision-making and diagnostic processes. At the structural and psychometric level, it is regarded as an improvement in relation to other personality assessment inventories (e.g., MMPI-2 and MCMI-III). Since its publication, the PAI has gathered international recognition, and is now considered a useful instrument in clinical, forensic and research contexts. The present study aims to review and summarize the PAI's development, administration, scoring, and interpretation, as well as to discuss its factorial structure and other psychometric properties in different contexts. The adaptation of PAI across cultures, as well as other alternative versions (e.g., PAI-SF, PAS, PAI-A) are also presented and summarized, and their psychometric properties are analyzed. The Portuguese adaptation and validation of PAI would significantly contribute to the progress of the psychological assessment field in Portugal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aimed to understand the therapeutic process provided by a short-term interventional practice centered on people with body self-esteem and self-image problems. Following a qualitative methodological design, the research and therapeutic interventions took place under the influence of the action research design. The following stages were used: planning the therapeutic process in light of the necessary and sufficient conditions for personality change and the therapeutic process phases; development of aid practice; action monitoring based on supervision, service review and semi-structured interviews with the participants; empirical phenomenological analysis of the affective impacts of therapy from the perspective of the clients assisted; understanding of this from the Rogerian framework. The following thematic axes related to the therapeutic process were elaborated and discussed: factors that led to the search for psychological help and constituted the therapeutic atmosphere; negative meaning of bodily experience; real meaning of the self-esteem experience in relation to the body; changes in attitudes towards self-perception and self-care. It was concluded that person-centered therapy produces significant affective impacts that helped these clients to deal with their body image and self-esteem experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O presente estudo objetivou compilar informações relevantes acerca dos traços de personalidade e o enfrentamento das adversidades em decorrência do processo de envelhecer. Consistiu em uma pesquisa exploratória de revisão narrativa. Foram incluídas obras publicadas a partir do ano de 2014 nos bancos de dados PubMed e Scielo, utilizando-se descritores booleanos os termos: “Aging” AND “Personality”. Os achados demonstram que, enquanto disposições intrínsecas, os traços de personalidade influenciam na atribuição de significados e valores singulares ao processo de envelhecer. Assim como, influenciam comportamentos com a função de suprir as necessidades relacionadas com a configuração da personalidade. Salienta-se a relevância de investigar outras possíveis relações entre as variáveis apresentadas e possíveis implicações em vivências cotidianas. Nota-se que a estabilidade emocional pode exercer função protetiva ou de risco à pessoa idosa no que tange ao enfrentamento das adversidades e promoção da saúde mental.

Este artigo procura abordar uma das doutrinas mais difíceis de entender em toda a Escritura Sagrada, porém, revelada implicitamente no Antigo Testamento e, explicitamente, no Novo. A doutrina da Santíssima Trindade é um dos pilares da fé cristã e, ao mesmo tempo, um mistério revelado nas Sagradas Escrituras. Embora sendo um único Deus, subsiste em três Pessoas, Pai, Filho e Espírito Santo, dotadas de intelecto, vontade e emoção, mas a deidade das três Pessoas compõem uma unidade orgânica e indivisível, coeternas e coiguais em glória e majestade. Esta doutrina bíblica não é uma construção teórica humana concebida pela razão finita, mas revelada em todas as Escrituras, primeiramente bastante embrionária no Antigo Testamento, mas posteriormente desenvolvida nas páginas Neotestamentária por uma mente brilhante e infinita. Na Divindade existe uma unidade de essência mas, concomitantemente, uma pluralidade de pessoas, coexistindo desde a eternidade, participando da obra da redenção da humanidade em uma unidade orgânica, plural, composta e conjuntural, porém, indivisível.

Paul Bouts (1900–1999) was a Belgian pedagogue, a Roman Catholic priest, and the founder of Psychognomy, which is a personality diagnostic system combining phrenology and several related practices – typology, craniofacial measurements, physiognomy, graphology etc. Bouts had a fragile health; therefore, it is unlikely that he travelled to Brazil. Despite this, his most famous book, rich in conservative and religious thoughts, was translated to Portuguese and published with ecclesiastic support in 1943, and the doctrine acquired good reputation among Brazilian members of the clergy, politicians, teachers, and military personnel. Lay scholars and medical doctors founded a Brazilian institute devoted to the study and diffusion of psychognomy in 1949. They published two volumes of a psychognomy treatise, and the institute was active until the early 1960s, when social interest in the subject rapidly vanished.

Carl Rogers desenvolveu uma teoria da personalidade que pode servir como lente para entendermos diversos fenômenos clínicos. Considerando pesquisas que correlacionam os problemas de autoimagem corporal e autoestima, este artigo objetiva realizar uma releitura da teoria rogeriana da personalidade sobre esses fenômenos. Nesse sentido, apresentam-se os aspectos que: (1) organizam a personalidade pelas relações entre experiência, consciência, campo fenomenológico, comportamento, self (real e ideal), tendência à autorrealização, autoimagem e autoestima; (2) desorganizam a personalidade e geram problemas de autoimagem e autoestima, a partir de reações a ameaça, avaliações condicionais, regulações em função do self ideal, incongruências e desajustamento psicológico; (3) reorganizam a personalidade em uma autoimagem e autoestima baseadas nas experiências organísmicas diretas, regulações em função de um self real atrelado à tendência à autorrealização, e expressas por um funcionamento pleno, abertura à experiência e processo de ser o que se é. Conclui-se, por fim, apontando para estudos empíricos sobre o tema.

O Inventário de Temperamento e Carácter – Revisto (ITC-R; Temperament and Character Inventory – Revised; TCI-R) é um instrumento de autorrelato de avaliação das quatro dimensões de Temperamento e as três dimensões de Carácter descritas pelo modelo psicobiológico da personalidade. A compreensão do grau em que as características da personalidade de um indivíduo ou de uma subpopulação de indivíduos diferem do típico da população geral requer a existência de dados normativos da população de referência. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as normas da versão portuguesa do ITC-R. Participaram neste estudo indivíduos adultos portugueses (n = 2442), uma amostra estratificada representativa da população portuguesa. Neste artigo, descrevemos os valores das escalas e subescalas do ITC-R para a amostra total, para o género masculino e feminino e para diferentes grupos etários. Para além disso, apresentamos tabelas das normas (percentis). Este artigo dá, portanto, uma contribuição relevante para a avaliação psicológica em Portugal, ao disponibilizar os dados normativos do ITC-R na população portuguesa, elemento fundamental para o desenvolvimento de investigação, avaliação e intervenção utilizando o modelo psicobiológico da personalidade.

The aim of the present study was to investigate validity evidence based on internal structure and the relationship with other variables of the Brazilian version of the Hewitt and Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (H&F-MPS). To this end, a sample comprising 368 participants with a mean age of 31.17 years (SD=11,34), 74% female, answered the H&F-MPS perfectionism scale and instruments that measure personality and psychological inflexibility. Findings indicated a factor structure of three dimensions, like the original scale, good discriminative item parameters, highly satisfactory reliability indexes, and significant correlations of the hypothesized directions with Openness to Experiences, Neuroticism, and Conscientiousness factors from the personality measure, as well as with the psychological flexibility measure.

The goal of this research was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Level of Personality Functioning Scale - Brief Form - 2.0 (LPFS-BF-2.0) in Brazilian samples. Therefore, two samples were used in this study, one with 415 and the other with 1,011 Brazilians. Participants completed the Brazilian version of the LPFS-BF-2.0 and other measures of common mental disorder symptoms, suicide risk, the severity of personality pathology, and pathological personality traits. The results indicated that the two-factor model (including self-functioning and interpersonal functioning domains) fits the Brazilian samples better than a one-factor model. The LPFS-BF-2.0 scales indicated adequate reliability coefficients and evidence of convergent validity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective of the study: the main objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits, life satisfaction, the perceived impact of the pandemic and the psychological suffering of Brazilian entrepreneurs. Methodology: 631 respondents (51% female) with a mean age of 39.34 years (SD = 10.75), from different Brazilian states. Entrepreneurs answered an online collection form that assessed their personality, psychological distress, life satisfaction, and questions about the perception of the pandemic. Originality/relevance: studies on the mental health of entrepreneurs are scarce, even in crisis situations, such as the covid-19 pandemic. This study sought to fill part of this gap. Main results: Structural equation modeling shows that personality traits and life satisfaction are directly associated with the psychological distress of entrepreneurs. The relationship between neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness and psychological distress was partially mediated by life satisfaction. Theoretical/methodological contributions: this study contributes to the identification of individual and social variables and the way they are associated in the prediction of psychological suffering, in major health crises, such as covid-19. Social/management contributions: the results of this study can be used by managers, entities, and support services for entrepreneurs in order to build policies and actions aimed at coping with medium and long-term emotional consequences, uncertainties and setbacks resulting from the pandemic. of covid-19 for the entrepreneur and his business.

The Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) assesses personality through the big five factor model model (FFM). This study aimed to verify whether the internal structure of the BFI-2 is corroborated in a Brazilian sample. Participants were 908 cisgender adults, aged between 17 and 93 years, 532 of whom were women. Confirmatory factor analysis and Exploratory structural equation modeling were performed with the BFI-2. The 15 facets of personality resulted in adequate fit and reliability, mainly for the respondents under 60 years of age. We conclude that the BFI-2 presents evidence of preliminary validity based on its internal structure, although further validity studies are required with the instrument, to testify its psychometric quality.

The revised version of Cloninger’s Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-R) is a self-report measure assessing the four Temperament dimensions and the three Character dimensions described by the psychobiological model of personality. To understand whether, and how, the personality characteristics of specific subpopulations or individuals deviate from ‘normality’, it is essential to have reliable normative data from a reference population. The objective of this study was to describe the normative data of the TCI-R in the adult Portuguese population. The normative data was based on a large (n = 2442) sample obtained via stratified sampling. We summarize TCI-R scale and subscale scores for the whole sample, and explore differences between men and women, and between groups of different ages. We also provide tables of norms (percentiles). This article provides a relevant contribution to psychological assessment in Portugal, by presenting normative data for the TCI-R for the Portuguese population, which are crucial for research, evaluation, and intervention involving Portuguese individuals.

This article presents a survival analysis-based model to estimate the duration of the emotion of confusion in students during learning. Academic confusion can have both positive and negative effects, and its persistence can lead to negative emotions. The model considers crucial factors such as personality traits and students' prior knowledge, which have been shown to significantly influence the duration of confusion. To investigate this relationship, data were collected from seventh-grade students who used an intelligent tutoring system to solve algebra problems. The results of the analysis of data from 25 students revealed statistically significant differences in the duration of confusion based on different personality traits and prior algebra knowledge. Additionally, a model of intervention for intelligent learning environments was proposed when students are confused, based on the developed model. This module determines the optimal time to intervene and provide individualized assistance tailored to the student's knowledge for the specific problem. The study contributes to understanding the dynamics of academic confusion and highlights the importance of considering emotions and their duration, as well as personality traits and prior knowledge, when designing appropriate interventions in intelligent learning environments. Identifying the opportune moment to intervene when a student is confused is essential to promote a more effective learning process, allowing educators to adopt personalized approaches to meet individual students' needs and facilitate their learning journey.

Carl Rogers developed a personality theory that can serve as a lens for understanding various clinical phenomena. Considering studies that correlate body self-image and self-esteem problems, this article aims to carry out a reinterpretation of the Rogerian personality theory about these phenomena. In this sense, the aspects are presented that: (1) organize the personality by the relationships between experience, consciousness, phenomenological field, behavior, self (real and ideal), self-actualization tendency, self-image and self-esteem; (2) disorganize the personality and generate self-image and self-esteem problems, from reactions to threat, conditional evaluations, regulations based on the ideal-self, incongruences and psychological maladjustment; (3) reorganize the personality into a self-image and self-esteem based on direct organismic experiences, regulations based on a real self-linked to the self-actualization tendency, and expressed by a fully functioning, openness to experience and the process of being what one is. It concludes pointing to empirical studies on the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
