“…There is growing evidence suggesting the possible relationship between synesthesia and psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and even schizophrenia ( 15 ). Moreover, a recent study by Rinaldi et al demonstrated that synesthesia is more likely to be related to specific personality traits, including openness to experience among the pediatric population ( 16 ). In our approach for evaluating the case, we first differentiated the acquired types from developmental forms of synesthesia.…”

Objective: Synesthesia is a unique experience with an unclear mechanism. The clinical condition usually presents when a sensation stimulates other senses. While more than 150 types of synesthesia have been reported; however, some types are considered uncommon, and co-occurrence of these rare types of synesthesia are rare. In the present report, we described a case of synesthesia with experience of pain and orgasm in color. Method: A 31-year old healthy male presented with visual equity changes during orgasm. In addition, he described a color-pain sensation every time he experienced severe chest pain during his childhood. None of these sensations negatively affected his daily or sexual life. Based on the patient’s history, a possible diagnosis of synesthesia was made and further clinical evaluations were performed. Results: The patient did not have any color vision abnormalities or problems in solving Hooper visual organization test, bells test, Rey complex figure test, card sorting test, and Trail making tests. The Brief Male Sexual Inventory did not reveal any sexual dysfunction. Therefore, regarding the patient's experiences without any visual disturbance and absence of any underlying diseases, the diagnosis of synesthesia was made. Conclusion: The present report demonstrates coexistence of a rare form of synesthesia as orgasm to color with specific pain to color synesthesia. In contrast to previous reports, our case demonstrated color orgasm as a type of synesthesia that might not negatively affect sex life in men.

“…Measures of child-reported personality (and related theories; Mervielde et al, 1995) suit children 8+ years, hence the age of our child participants in this study. This child version provides age-appropriate definitions for 14 vocabulary items, so they are understandable to even the youngest children (e.g., in the item "I see myself as someone who generates a lot of enthusiasm," the final word is defined as "This means getting excited about things"; see Rinaldi et al, 2020). This adaptation was validated by Rinaldi and colleagues (Rinaldi et al, 2020) and was based originally on adult/ adolescent versions of the BFI-44 (John et al, 1991(John et al, , 2008Soto et al, 2008).…”

Cronbach's alphas show moderate reliability for all components (openness, a = .68; conscientiousness, a = .70; extraversion, a = .66; agreeableness, a = .73; and neuroticism, a = .68), and the instrument has concurrent validity in a number of ways (e.g., neuroticism positively correlates with children's anxiety at r = .41, using the SCARED questionnaire; Birmaher, En, Balach, & Neer, 1997;Birmaher et al, 1999).…”

“…ocf.berkeley.edu/~johnlab/measures.htm; see John et al, 1991John et al, , 2008John & Srivastava, 1999) because parents' ratings sometimes hold additional information beyond the child's (Markey, Markey, Tinsley, & Ericksen, 2002). We chose these personality instruments in particular because the Big Five factor structure of personality has been validated in both adults and children (Abe, 2005;Abe & Izard, 1999;Digman & Takemoto-Chock, 1981;Halverson et al, 2003;John et al, 2008;John, Caspi, Robins, Moffitt, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1994;Markey et al, 2002;Scholte, van Aken, & van Lieshout, 1997) and these particular measures (Def BFI-44-C and BFI-44-Parent) have been additionally validated on the same cohort of children tested here (Rinaldi et al, 2020). Finally, with our trait of interest (openness to experience), we will also explore its subfacets of openness to aesthetics and openness to ideas (Soto & John, 2009).…”

Creative orientation is the extent to which different individuals are drawn toward creative activities (e.g., art, music). We know relatively little about child‐level creative orientation given certain testing limitations. Adult tools often measure time spent engaged in creative pursuits, but this method is unsuitable for children because their free time is often dictated by parents. To overcome this, we devised an entirely novel measure of creative orientation, the Children's Creative Orientation Test: Artistic (C‐COT: Artistic). This short task, suitable for children as young as 6, elicits children's creative urges toward artistic pursuits independently of parental influence and provides quantitative scoring. We applied our measure to over 3000 children aged 6–10 years, where it showed robust reliability, suggesting that creative orientation is a stable trait over time. We show that creative orientation is also influenced by classroom cohort, age, and gender but is unaffected by socio‐economic status or seasonal changes (autumn vs. spring testing). We showed too that creative orientation converges with creative thinking (divergent thinking), creative personality (openness to experiences, especially the aesthetics subtrait), and creative engagements in the home. We present our test here in full, as a simple, fast, and robust measure of creative artistic orientation in children.

“…The social structure and interpersonal relationship caused by family poverty affect children's physical and brain development through repeated pressure, which leads to social replication or intergenerational transmission of poverty, so that parents' social class can predict children's social class. Rinaldi et al [ 3 ] believe that the problem of poor children has become a hot and important issue in the new era. It is of theoretical and practical significance to study the influencing factors of poor children's psychological development.…”

The problem of poor children’s psychological development has been widely concerned by governments all over the world. At present, the research results of poor children’s psychological development show that poor children mainly have cognitive, mental health, and behavioral problems. This paper studies the personality traits and their influencing factors of children from poor families from the perspective of psychological education. By giving the definition of children from poor families and poor families, this paper analyzes the psychological development of poor children, analyzes the personality traits and influencing factors of children from poor families from the perspective of psychological education, obtains the standard scores of 16 personality traits and their dimensional personality factors and personality factors, and uses the clustering method to realize the difference analysis of personality characteristics of various samples. From the perspective of quantitative psychological education, this paper analyzes the correlation between personality traits and influencing factors of children from poor families in order to provide basis and reference for the government and society to implement targeted poverty alleviation and cut off the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
