“…For example, Dunkel, Papini, and Berzonsky (2008) also found that information orientation scores were related to emotional stability and agreeableness, but neither relation received significance (although they did employ a much more stringent significance criterion). Moreover, while Duriez, Soenens, and Beyers (2004) did find a significant relation with agreeableness, again no relation was found with emotional stability.…”

“…One possible reason for the discrepancy between these findings lies in our measure of personality. For example, while Dunkel et al (2008) employed a short ten-item measure of the Big Five (Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003), we employed a longer measure that might have allowed for greater variability, and thus greater ability to detect effects. In addition, discrepancies may result from differences in measurement reliability between our study and the previous research; thus care must be taken in discussing why these results may differ.…”

Adaptive identity development leads to increases in personality traits that allow for social wellbeing. The current study tested this claim with respect to forgivingness, a dispositional tendency to forgive others. In a sample of university undergraduates (N = 214), we examined the relations between forgivingness and two indicators of identity development: commitment and exploration. Forgivingness uniquely positively related with both identity variables, controlling for the other. Next, we tested mediational models to examine the mechanisms underlying these relationships. Our results suggest that, in part, the association between identity development and forgivingness is mediated by levels of agreeableness and neuroticism, as measured by the Big Five Inventory.

There has been a recent increase in interest in the psychological differences and antecedents related to political orientation. Personality, disgust sensitivity, attachment, and closeness to parents have all been found or have been theorized to be predictive of political orientation. These variables and the additional roles played by normative identity style and parental identification were examined. The results showed that normative identity style is associated with political orientation and that the role played by parental identification depends on the perceived parental political ranking, the gender of the parent, and the measure used to examine political orientation. No support was found for Lakoff's (2002) model of parenting and political orientation.Recently there has been a surge in interest in the psychological foundations of political orientation (Jost 2006). While a significant portion of the variance in political orientation is explained by individual genetic differences (Alford et al. 2005), heritability estimates of political attitudes show that both shared and nonshared environmental effects explain sizable amounts of variance for attitudes on the majority of political issues studied. Also, genes do not directly influence political orientation (i.e., there are not genes for being a Democrat or Republican) and therefore the variance explained by heritability estimates on political attitudes is due to any number of mediating psychological variables. The search for these Curr Psychol (2012) 31:65-78
