Exploring Indigenous Spanish Personality Constructs with a Combined Emic-Etic Approach

Positive and Negative Affect have been repeatedly related to individual differences in Extroversion and Neuroticism —or Positive and Negative Emotionality— (Meyer & Shack, 1989; Watson & Clark, 1992). Personality correlates of Pleasantness and Engagement have also been established, although to a less significant extent: Global measures of life satisfaction, subjective well-being, and happiness have been related to affects from the Pleasantness octant of the circumplex (Pavot & Diener, 1993), and individual differences in depression, for instance, are found to align with the Unpleasant octant (Watson, Clark, & Carey, 1988). Significant correspondences have also been found between Engagement and the personality dispositions of high affect intensity (Larsen & Diener, 1987) and high activity level (Buss & Plomin, 1984), and between affects from the Disengagement octant and the personality disposition of high emotional control (Watson & Greer, 1983).
Comorbid Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Concussion
Rolland S. Parker in Concussive Brain Trauma, 2016
The definition of PTSD has been criticized for putting more emphasis upon the event than the vulnerability of the individual who seeks treatment. Distress is more associated with individual differences (e.g., trait emotionality, general negative affectivity [neuroticism], emotional expressiveness) than with event characteristics (Bowman, 1999). There are many practitioners who assert that the definition of PTSD should include remembering the trauma, which is an inconsistency when PTSD and concussion are stated to be comorbid. The nature of the sample shapes one’s impressions and conclusions. The writer’s own practice is focused upon lesser injuries, although the discussion represents a wide survey of students of this issue. In this writer’s experience they represent entities that frequently coexist. Combat veterans who had incurred a blast with comorbid PTSD had more persistent symptoms than those with different types of trauma (Trudeau et al., 1998).
Choice Impulsivity

Strong evidence suggests an important genetic contribution to SUD vulnerability, with epidemiological studies providing heritability estimates of ~50% (Kendler et al. 2012). Yet traditional molecular genetics approaches have been largely unsuccessful in identifying specific causal roles for genes, and many researchers have turned their search for genes to the identification of endophenotypes, understood as simpler clues to genetic underpinnings than the disease syndrome itself (Gottesman and Gould 2003). We recently reviewed evidence to support the notion that with their clear neurobiological and genetic underpinnings, three personality traits provide a tractable approach to studying vulnerability to SUD (Belcher et al. 2014). These traits, as described below, are positive emotionality/extraversion (PEM/E), negative emotionality/neuroticism (NEM/N), and constraint-disinhibition (CON).

The HEXACO-60 questionnaire is a personality trait inventory which has 60 items and five possible responses answers from 1 – strongly disagree to 5 – strongly agree (Ashton and Lee 2009). It is used to describe personality characteristics through six dimensions: Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience. Honesty-Humility dimension refers to the avoidance of manipulation of others to achieve personal gains, abiding rules and feelings of entitlement. Emotionality dimension refers to feelings of fear when being in danger, coping with stresses, needing emotional support from others and feelings of empathy. Extraversion dimension accounts for self-reflection, confidence in leadership, taking pleasure from social interactions as well as enthusiasm and vitality. Agreeableness dimension refers to the individual’s capacity for forgiveness, tolerance and cooperation. Conscientiousness dimension reflects self-efficacy in terms of personal organization, diligence, ambition and prudence. Openness to Experience dimension accounts for the capacity to enjoy art and nature, curiosity, creativity and standing out from the conventional norms.

Neuroticism is a dimension in the five-factor model of personality (FFM), which was derived from studies using lexical personality adjectives (McCrae and John 1992; Cervone and Pervin 2013; Ormel et al. 2013a). The core feature of this personality trait is negative emotionality, i.e., a tendency to react to stressful situations with negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability and sadness. It is estimated that about 60% of the variability in neuroticism is attributed to environmental factors and the rest to genetic factors (Cervone and Pervin 2013). In line with this, our study (Takahashi et al. 2017) shows that persons high in neuroticism tend to recall that they received affectionless control parenting, which is a combination of low care and high protection (Parker et al. 1979).
Angry night birds: Emotionality, activity and sociability temperament in adolescent chronotypes

Furthermore, Pearson's partial correlations controlling for sex and age indicated that morningness–eveningness was unrelated to fearfulness, distress, activity and sociability, but was associated with anger (Table 2). Specifically, adolescents higher on eveningness (lower morningness) were characterized by greater anger (Figure 1). Furthermore, most EAS domains were interrelated. Namely, the three facets of emotionality were positively associated with one another, as well as with activity (except for fearfulness). This means that more active adolescents also had higher distress and anger(Table 2). Sociability, on the other hand, was negatively associated with all emotionality domains, which means that more sociable individuals exhibited lower distress, fearfulness and anger, and were more active (Table 2).
