How approach and avoidance constructs of personality and trait emotional intelligence predict core human values

Influence of Personality Traits and Moral Values on Employee Well‐Being, Resilience and Performance: A Cross‐National Study

“…Previous research has established the association between the Big Five personality traits (i.e., extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experiences and emotional stability) and human values (see De Raad & van Oudenhoven, ; Stankov, ). Research also points to the biological base of the Big Five personality traits (Cloninger et al, ) and values (Schwartz, ; Athota & O’Connor, ). Both personality traits and values are consistent over time and situations (Dollinger, Leong, & Ulicni, ).…”

Media, Technology Use, and Attitudes: Associations With Physical and Mental Well‐Being in Youth With Implications for Evidence‐Based Practice

“…Trait emotional intelligence (TEI) is conceptualized as a constellation of emotion‐related self‐perceptions located at the lower levels of hierarchical personality structures (Petrides, Sanchez‐Ruiz, Siegling, Saklofske, & Mavroveli, in press). An ever‐increasing body of research has linked TEI with a myriad of factors relating to individuals’ psychosocial (Di Fabio & Saklofske, ), emotional (Malouff, Schutte, & Thorsteinsson, ), and behavioral well‐being (Athota & O'Connor, ). Research shows that TEI moderates the impact of unhealthy habits on overall health.…”

The portrait of a hedonist: The personality and ethics behind the value and maladaptive pursuit of pleasure

“…However, research on personality traits and values has found no relationship between people's value of pleasure and openness (Luk & Bond, 1993;Olver & Mooradian, 2003), a personality trait manifested in appreciation of adventure and variety (Rammstedt & John, 2007). Yet, another investigation suggested that people who value pleasure are more motivated to approach new experiences (rather than avoid them) and to seek novelty, as opposed to those who do not value pleasure (Athota & O'Connor, 2014). Finally, Athota and O'Connor (2014) reported that people who score high on valuebased hedonism also experience more difficulty in managing their emotions than people who score low.…”

Conversely, Huta and Ryan (2010) found that people's tendency to seek pleasure in their activities correlated positively with how carefree they felt on a daily basis, implying that pleasure-seekers should score low on neuroticism (characterized by anxiety and emotional instability; Rammstedt & John, 2007).…”
