“…Additional experiments have replicated these results (JensenCampbell, Knack, Waldrip, & Campbell, 2007) and also have revealed that state anger both increased left frontal activity and decreased right frontal activity (Harmon-Jones, Vaughn-Scott, Mohr, Sigelman, & Harmon-Jones, 2004). Consistent with the overall line of reasoning, creating sympathy for the person who would later insult the participant reduced the effects of insult on both left and right frontal activity .…”

The authors review a range of evidence concerning the motivational underpinnings of anger as an affect, with particular reference to the relationship between anger and anxiety or fear. The evidence supports the view that anger relates to an appetitive or approach motivational system, whereas anxiety relates to an aversive or avoidance motivational system. This evidence appears to have 2 implications. One implication concerns the nature of anterior cortical asymmetry effects. The evidence suggests that such asymmetry reflects direction of motivational engagement (approach vs. withdrawal) rather than affective valence. The other implication concerns the idea that affects form a purely positive dimension and a purely negative dimension, which reflect the operation of appetitive and aversive motivational systems, respectively. The evidence reviewed does not support that view. The evidence is, however, consistent with a discrete-emotions view (which does not rely on dimensionality) and with an alternative dimensional approach.Keywords: anger, approach, appetitive system, avoidance, threat system Recent years have seen a surge of interest in emotional experience (e.g., Barrett, Niedenthal, & Winkielman, 2005;Dalgleish & Power, 1999;Davidson, Scherer, & Goldsmith, 2003;Frijda, 2007; Lane & Nadel, 2000;Lewis & Haviland-Jones, 2000;Ortony, Clore, & Collins, 1988;Panksepp, 1998; Rottenberg & Johnson, 2007; Scherer, Schorr, & Johnstone, 2001). Views of emotion vary considerably, in several respects. As one example, some people view emotions as a set of distinct modular entities, often considered basic emotions (e.g., Ekman, 1992;Izard, 1991;Izard & Ackerman, 2000;Levenson, 1994Levenson, , 1999Panksepp, 1998;Roseman, 1991). Others hold that affects are best understood by reference to underlying dimensions (e.g., Barrett, 2006;Cacioppo, Gardner, & Berntson, 1999;Carver & Scheier, 1998;Davidson, 1998;Gray, 1994a;Lang, Bradley, & Cuthbert, 1992Russell, 2003;Russell & Carroll, 1999a, 1999bWatson, Wiese, Vaidya, & Tellegen, 1999;Yik, Russell, & Barrett, 1999). AngerThis article focuses on one specific affect-anger. Specifically, it addresses the relationship of this affect to broad motivational tendencies of approach and avoidance, and it considers implications of that relationship for two areas of thought and research. We begin with a few words about definitions.Sometimes the terms affect, feeling, and emotion are treated as interchangeable (e.g., Isen, 2000); sometimes they are distinguished from each other (e.g., Fredrickson, 2001;. Affect is generally used to imply a hedonic experience, a sense of valence, a subjective sense of positivity or negativity arising from an event. When many use the word emotion, it is with that sense in mind. As Frijda (2000) put it, "For many theorists, the essence of emotion is feeling, and notably 'affect,' here used in the sense of a feeling of pleasure or pain . . . ." (p. 63). As Ortony et al. (1988) put it, emotions are ". . valenced reactions to events, agents, or objects . ." (p. 13). T...

“…An important component is the notion of effortful control, accounting for the suppression of self-interest and negative affect in interpersonal settings (Jensen-Campbell & Graziano, 2001;Jensen-Campbell, Knack, Waldrip, & Campbell, 2007). It could be speculated that the elements of effortful control and self-restraint, shared with Conscientiousness, are represented also in the Honesty-Humility factor in the HEXACO model (Ashton & Lee, 2007).…”

In Study 1 (N = 1,483), the SRC defined two factors (positive and negative) distinct from the FFM, more strongly linked to relational than to tradition-focused IR aspects and to impression management than to deception. Links to tradition-focused concepts were stronger, and scores on positive SRC higher in Blacks than in Whites. In Study 2 (N = 325), SRC explained substantial variance in prosocialness above the FFM. In Study 3 (N = 1,283), the SRC were replicated in a Dutch multicultural sample. The findings suggest expanding the FFM with respect to social-relational functioning.

Previous research has suggested that some traits may be useful as the predictors of risk behaviours behaviors. Therefore, personality traits seem to play a role in accident involvement. The purpose of this study is was to explore the relationship between the personality traits based on the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and worker accident experiences in order to elaborate personality traits based intervention for workplace accident prevention. A cross cross-sectional study was conducted among 173 workers in a cement company using a set of questionnaires consisting of respondents' characteristics, BFI, and self-reported accident experience. The correlations were computed using Goodman Kruskal's Gamma. A negative correlation between Extraversion dimension and accident experience was found to be approaching significant (G=-0.273, p = 0.061). Workers with lower Extraversion dimensions, based on BFI, are recommended to have priority needs be prioritized for training or to be assigned to less hazardous workplaces. AbstrakIntervensi Berdasarkan Traits Kepribadian dalam Pencegahan Kecelakaan Kerja. Penelitian terdahulu menyatakan bahwa beberapa traits dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi perilaku yang berisiko pada kecelakaan kerja. Oleh karena itu, tampaknya traits kepribadian memegang peranan penting pada keterlibatan dalam kecelakaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara traits kepribadian berdasarkan Big Five Inventory (BFI) dengan pengalaman keterlibatan pekerja pada kecelakaan kerja dalam rangka mengelaborasi intervensi manajemen berbasis perilaku dalam mencegah kecelakaan kerja. Penelitian bersifat cross-sectional yang dilakukan terhadap 173 pekerja industri semen menggunakan seperangkat kuesioner yang terdiri atas karakteristik responden, BFI dan pengalaman kecelakaan kerja (self-reported). Uji korelasi dilakukan menggunakan Goodman Kruskal's Gamma. Ditemukan korelasi negatif antara dimensi Extraversion dan pengalaman kejadian kecelakaan kerja yang mendekati signifikan (G = -0,273, p = 0,061). Pekerja dengan dimensi Extraversion yang lebih rendah, berdasarkan BFI, direkomendasikan untuk mendapatkan prioritas dalam pelatihan atau ditugaskan pada area kerja yang memiliki hazard lebih rendah.
