“…Whereas personality traits change importantly in adolescence (Kawamoto & Endo, 2015), they do not between 30 and 39 years of age (Kawamoto, 2016), at least in Japan. But systematic variation is observed over larger portions of the life-span in various countries (Edmonds, Goldberg, Hampson, & Barckley, 2013;Milojev & Sibley, 2014;Walton et al, 2013). Similar is the case of personality differences between the genders.…”

The hypothesis that employees with experience in the public sector differ in personality aspects from those with less or no experience, suggested by the concept of personorganization fit, was tested among 711 participants in executive extension courses of a Peruvian university who filled-in the Big Five Aspect Scales. Whereas significant differences in various personality aspects were observed along age and between males and females, public sector experience only predicted greater Openness. Women outperformed men in Openness and a significant gender x time in public sector interaction revealed that prediction of Openness from the public-sector experience was more pronounced among men. The findings suggest that, in the population studied, little personality differences are attributable to experience in the public sector. Studies are needed to evaluate the external validity of the findings.

“…This question remains unanswered because there are remarkably few longitudinal studies of personality development in ethnic minority and/or low socioeconomic status (SES) samples, and the vast majority of prior longitudinal work has been conducted using predominantly middle-class, highly educated White American or Western European samples (but see Chopik & Kitayama, 2017;Löckenhoff et al, 2008). Although cross-sectional studies have explored the generalizability of age differences in personality (De Bolle et al, 2015;McCrae et al, 1999;McCrae et al, 2004;Walton et al, 2013) and age stereotypes of personality (Chan et al, 2012) across cultures, these studies provide little insight into developmental changes in personality. Prospective, longitudinal data are needed to understand how patterns of personality stability and change vary across sociocultural groups.…”

A large body of research has documented how personality develops across adulthood, yet very little longitudinal work has examined whether these findings generalize beyond predominantly middle-class, highly-educated White American or Western European individuals. This pre-registered study uses longitudinal data from 1,110 Mexican-origin adults who completed a well-validated personality measure, the Big Five Inventory, up to 6 times across 12 years. Individuals generally maintained their rank ordering on the Big Five over time (rs=.66-.80), and the relative ordering of the Big Five within persons was also highly stable (rs=.58-.66). All of the Big Five traits showed small, linear mean-level decreases across adulthood. These trajectories showed few associations with sociodemographic factors (sex, education level, and IQ) and cultural factors (generational status, age at immigration, Spanish/English language preference, Mexican cultural values, American cultural values, and ethnic discrimination). The statistically significant findings we did observe mostly concerned associations between cultural values and Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Openness. Acquiescence bias was also positively associated with Big Five personality trait scores at every wave. There was no evidence of mean-level change in the Big Five when including time-varying acquiescence scores as covariates in the models. Divergences between the present findings and previous research highlight the need to study personality development with more diverse aging samples.

“…Cross-cultural research on Facebook, related personality traits and how narcissistic tendencies are likely to manifest is still at a fledgling stage. Research linking personality traits (individual differences) with the uses and gratifications of social media have tended to be limited to Western samples [28]. A study comparing the personality traits of Vietnamese participants with those from a Western sample found some similarities and some differences [28].…”

A study comparing the personality traits of Vietnamese participants with those from a Western sample found some similarities and some differences [28]. These include similarities in the increases in agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability and decreases in extraversion whereas differences in age-conscientiousness and age-intellect relationship are noticeable.…”

The purpose of this study was to create a conceptual framework and to collect some pilot data in order to underpin future research on how the Vietnamese use Facebook in their day-today lives. A number of key points were observed in this study, which informed the framework. Firstly, there is a paucity of research on this topic, that Facebook users in Vietnam (population 90 million) rank as some of the heaviest consumers in the world, and Vietnamese cultural traditions and values need to be acknowledged given these differences when compared to other nations and how this might influence Facebook use. Given the studies focus on users, the theory on "uses and gratifications" was employed in order to understand how Facebook satisfies the needs of its Vietnamese users. An important component in this theory is the way in which Facebook allows posting of material related to the enhancement of the "self", which has the potential to satisfy ego driven needs in the form of narcissism. However, narcissism and its links with Facebook have only recently been systematically studied in Asian countries, predominately in China. In conclusion, the conceptual framework and analysis of the pilot data produced a number of interrelated constructs (e.g. socializing, social enhancement, entertainment) that provide a baseline or foundation from which a longer-term program of empirical research can be conducted on Facebook use in Vietnam 1 .
