“…Indeed, based on metaanalyses on the prevailing psychological models of individual differences (Costa & McCrae, 1995;Horn & McArdle, 2007;John et al, 2008;McGrew & Wendling, 2010), three variables with greater explanatory power of human behavior and performance are identified. General mental ability (Gottfredson, 2002;Hunter & Hunter, 1984;Ones et al, 2005a;Ree et al, 1994;Salgado et al, 2003;Schmidt & Hunter, 1998 and the dimensions of conscientiousness and emotional stability (Barrick & Mount, 1991Barrick et al, 2001;Hogan & Holland, 2003;Hough & Furnham, 2003;Hurtz & Donovan, 2000;Ones et al, 2005b;Salgado, 1997Salgado, , 1998Salgado, , 2004Salgado & De Fruyt, 2005;Tett, Jackson, & Rothstein, 1991) are the best predictors in the civil and military fields.…”

“…In parallel, the less predictive capacity of personality traits has been verified, although their validity increases when the performance is estimated in terms of other important components of the work (effort, discipline, teamwork, etc.) and theoretically contingent traits are used (Barrick & Mount, 2005;Barrick, Mount, & Judge, 2001;Hogan & Holland, 2003;Hough & Furnham, 2003;Ones, Viswesvaran, & Dilchert, 2005b;Salgado, 1997Salgado, , 1998Salgado & De Fruyt, 2005). The development of a general performance model has also contributed to the understanding of the role of dispositional traits and their use in industrial and organizational fields (Schmitt, Cortina, Ingerick, & Wiechmann, 2003).…”

Título: Un modelo explicativo de la adaptación subacuática. Resumen: El medio subacuático constituye un entorno extremo que exige un proceso de adaptación humana con demandas psicofisiológicas especí-ficas para garantizar la supervivencia y la actividad productiva. En este trabajo explicativo se analiza, bajo la óptica de los actuales modelos de inteligencia, personalidad y rendimiento, la contribución de las diferencias individuales para explicar la adaptación de personal militar en un entorno estresante. Se verifica, mediante análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, un modelo donde se contemplan los efectos directos de las variables psicológicas sobre la adaptación personal a un medio adverso, comprobando sus relaciones estructurales durante la realización de cursos básicos de buceo militar y su capacidad para predecir un tercio de la varianza de un criterio poco estudiado. De esta manera, se confirma en una muestra de profesionales (N = 575) la relación directa de ajuste emocional, responsabilidad y habilidad mental general con la adaptación subacuática, atribuyendo una relación inversa a reactividad emocional. Estos constructos constituyen el fundamento psicológico para desenvolverse con seguridad y trabajar bajo el agua, contribuyen a la mejora de la adaptación al medio subacuático y favorecen la prevención de riesgos y la seguridad en las actividades de buceo. Palabras clave: diferencias individuales; buceo militar; modelos psicológi-cos; análisis de ecuaciones estructurales; adaptación subacuática. Abstract:The underwater environment is an extreme environment that requires a process of human adaptation with specific psychophysiological demands to ensure survival and productive activity. From the standpoint of existing models of intelligence, personality and performance, in this explanatory study we have analyzed the contribution of individual differences in explaining the adaptation of military personnel in a stressful environment. Structural equation analysis was employed to verify a model representing the direct effects of psychological variables on individual adaptation to an adverse environment, and we have been able to confirm, during basic military diving courses, the structural relationships among these variables and their ability to predict a third of the variance of a criterion that has been studied very little to date. In this way, we have confirmed in a sample of professionals (N = 575) the direct relationship of emotional adjustment, conscientiousness and general mental ability with underwater adaptation, as well as the inverse relationship of emotional reactivity. These constructs are the psychological basis for working under water, contributing to an improved adaptation to this environment and promoting risk prevention and safety in diving activities.

“…Other researchers who investigate personality structure and measurement are not convinced that results clearly identify the interrelatedness of the work variables under consideration (Ones et al, 2005). Bishay (1996) argued that the Big Five traits may be useful for some research on job performance but may fall short in the measurement of more concrete and narrow personality traits.…”

“…One stream of work concerns individual traits, which refer to individual attributes that consistently distinguish people from one another in terms of their basic tendencies to think, feel, and act in certain ways (Ones, Viswesvaran & Dilchert, 2005). Since traits are reasonably consistent over time (Buss, 1991), they are a particularly useful approach to studying individual behavior.…”

Background and aims: Prior research on Internet dependency has examined various individual traits as contributing factors. Since domain-specific traits tend to have higher abilities to explain outcome variables, this study investigates a technology-related specific trait, i.e., computer playfulness, as a predictor of Internet dependency, and their influence on Internet usage patterns and academic performance. Methods: A sample of 267 college students was surveyed to examine these relationships. In addition to demographic information, the questionnaire contained measurement scales to assess playfulness, Internet dependency as well as work/study-related and social-related uses of the Internet. Results: Survey data indicate that playfulness significantly predicts Internet dependency (DR 2 = 19%). Playfulness is also significantly related to students' grade point average (p < .001), as well as Internet use for social purposes (p < .022), and its impacts are fully mediated by Internet dependency. It was also found that neither playfulness nor Internet dependency is significantly associated with Internet use for work/study purposes. Conclusions: Playfulness, as a domain-specific individual trait, is a powerful predictor of Internet dependency, which is positively related to social use of the Internet, and negatively related to student academic performance.
