“…While the items did have sufficient reliability, future research would benefit from a more sensitive measurement of personality. Previous research has shown that results on the BFQ‐C by children and their parents show large overlap (Barbaranelli, Fida, Paciello, Di Giunta, & Caprara, ; Olivier & Herve, ). In future studies, peer and teacher ratings of children's personality should be collected besides children's self‐ratings.…”

Previous research has shown that children's intergroup similarity judgements are based not only on ethnicity but also on other dimensions such as sports interest. The present research investigates the role of personality in perceived similarity between ingroup children and refugee outgroup children. A study was conducted among 9‐ to 12‐year‐old children (N = 124) at two elementary schools in the Netherlands. It was predicted and found that children take into account ethnicity as well as personality (whether a child is introverted or extraverted) when judging similarity of ingroup (Dutch) and outgroup (refugee) children. Furthermore, we predicted and found that greater perceived similarity between Dutch children and refugee children was associated with more positive attitudes towards refugee children. Finally, children felt lower levels of anxiety towards an extraverted compared to an introverted refugee child. Lower anxiety, in turn, was associated with more positive attitudes towards refugee children. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Statement of contribution What is already known? McGlothlin et al. (2005, British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 23, 227) found that similarity ratings are based not only on ethnicity but also on sports interest.Studies among adults show that extraversion is negatively related to anxiety and positively to cross‐group friendships. What does this study add? The present study shows that children also base similarity ratings on the personality trait extraversion.Higher similarity between self/ingroup and refugee children is related to positive outgroup attitudes.This study shows that extraverted children feel less anxiety to an extraverted refugee child.Lower anxiety in children is related to more positive attitudes to refugee children in general.

“…This personality structure has been confirmed by multiple statistical analyses (Borkenau & Ostendorf, 1990;Costa & McCrae, 1992;Goldberg, 1990;John, 1990). In addition, the structure has been confirmed in more than 56 countries (Schmitt, Allik, McCrae, & Benet-Martinez, 2007;Yamagata et al, 2006), including Romania (Ispas, Iliescu, Ilie, & Johnson, 2014), Korea (You et al, 1997), Sweden (Lamb et al, 2002), the Netherlands (Denissen, Geenen, van Aken, Gosling, & Potter, 2008), China (Zheng et al, 2008), and France (Olivier & Herve, 2015). In short, the five-factor model is considered the best-known 6 and most widely researched approach to personality today (Roberts, Kuncel, Shiner, Caspi, & Goldberg, 2007;Schmitt et al, 2007;Yamagata et al, 2006).…”

“…Proponents of this model maintain that these five factors constitute the basic dimensions of personality (Costa & McCrae, 1992) and represent the most general level of explanation for individual differences (McCrae & Costa, 1986). These factors form lasting dispositions that can be seen in children and adolescents (Morizot, 2014;Olivier & Herve, 2015) and across the lifespan (Lamb, Chuang, Wessels, Broberg, & Hwang, 2002). Moreover, these factors have shown utility in predicting a wide range of behaviours, including creative achievement (Hirsh & Peterson, 2008), interpersonal networking behaviours (Wolff & Kim, 2012), academic success (Hirsh & Peterson, 2008;Zeidner & Shani-Zinovich, 2011), and job performance (Gill & Hodgkinson, 2007; You, Kim, & Lee, 1997).…”

These studies investigated a new model of personality and its relationship to positive psychology interventions. Previous theoretical models and research into the structure of personality has seen disagreement concerning the true number of factors at the basis of personality. Furthermore, the link between personality and positive psychology interventions has been unclear. The following studies were undertaken to determine the structure of personality in a Canadian sample (N = 4375 at baseline) and to investigate how these personality factors predict depression, satisfaction with life, and affect following positive psychology interventions. Participants were recruited online and randomly assigned to one of ten exercise conditions which were performed every day for one week. Follow-ups were conducted one, three, and six months later. Using half of the sample (n = 2188), exploratory factor analysis was conducted on a comprehensive battery of personality questionnaires, which included measures of extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness to experience (the five-factor model) in addition to neediness, self-criticism, efficacy, self-esteem, gratitude, self-compassion, and attachment styles. The resulting three-factor model was validated using confirmatory factor analysis with the second half of the sample (n = 2186). The best fitting model for personality involved a threefactor solution interpreted to represent Equanimity, Insecurity, and Agency. The factors were then included in a latent growth curve model to determine how personality interacted with positive psychology interventions to predict depression and subjective well-being, both at baseline and over time. The results support the validity of a three-factor model of personality. In addition, this model proved useful in the study of individual differences in responding to positive psychology interventions. Limitations of this research and future directions are discussed.iii

“…The pictorial character of this test takes into account cognitive abilities of young people, in whom, according to Piaget's theory (1974), there takes place the process of thinking development implying the transition of concrete reasoning to abstract reasoning. PBPS-C has its foreign equivalents used, among others, in Italy (Barbaranelli, Caprara, Rabasca, & Pastorelli, 2003), Spain (Del Barrio, Carrasco, & Holgado, 2006), Greece (Kokkinos & Markos, 2015), Germany (Bleidorn & Ostendorf, 2009) and France (Olivier & Herve, 2015). A description of the Polish version can be found in the works of Cieciuch (2010), Maćkiewicz and Cieciuch (2012) and Cieciuch, Toczyłowska-Niemiec, and Barbaranelli (2016).…”

health psychology report • volume 8(1),  original article background The aim of this study was to analyze locus of control in situations of successes and failures and personality traits in young people attending sport and non-sport classes. Based on a review of studies, it was presumed that young people who practice team sports have a higher internal locus of control, higher openness to experience, higher conscientiousness, and higher emotional stability than their peers who do not practice sport. participants and procedure Young people who took part in the study were both those who attended schools with sport education programs and those who attended non-sport schools. 63 students of the sixth grade of primary school and the first grade of junior high school were surveyed (M = 12.60). Two groups were distinguished: students who followed an extended sports curriculum practicing football and basketball (n = 31), and those who followed a standard curriculum (n = 32). The Questionnaire for Locus of Control and the Picture Based Personality Survey for Children, based on the Big Five model, were used in the analyses. results The results of the studies partially confirmed the assumed hypotheses and showed connections between locus of control in situations of failure and openness to experience in the group of athletes. conclusions This study constitutes a summary of the first stage of a three-year longitudinal project. Conclusions from the study will allow characterization of developmental changes of locus of control and personality traits in young athletes. Assessment of personality profile constitutes help for sport psychology practitioners in preparing training that uses accurate reinforcement systems corresponding with the traits of players that are members of a team.
