The present study aimed to investigate relationships between problematic use of smartphone and pathological personality traits. To do so, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis when sufficient information was presented. The literature search was conducted based on a search strategy including the keywords “smartphone” and “personality”. Variations were not included as we seek to increase the breadth of the search. Random effects models were used to generate standardized coefficient for meta-analysis. In total, the present study included 5 papers covering 6.096 participants. Our findings indicated a scarcity of studies meeting the criteria used, but evidence regarding the relationship between problematic use of smartphone and neuroticism and impulsivity traits were found. Meta-analysis using levels of problematic use of smartphone and neuroticism and impulsivity measures showed a significant and small to moderate effect size, with an observed heterogeneity (I2) equal to 97.26% (impulsivity) and 58.89% (neuroticism). More research should be carried out in the area, allowing the accumulation of evidence considering several personality pathological traits. The impulsivity and neuroticism traits should be further investigated, including studies with psychiatric samples. Future studies should seek to establish a standard for study design and assessment tools to be used.

ResumoA presente pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar as propriedades psicométricas da versão revisada da dimensão Necessidade de Atenção do Inventário Dimensional Clínico da Personalidade (IDCP). Para isso foram 120 participantes compondo o estudo, com idade variando entre 17 e 54 anos (M= 24,6; DP=7,96), sendo 96 mulheres (80%). Todos os sujeitos responderam o IDCP, o Inventário de Personalidade NEO-PI Revisado e um questionário de autoavaliação desenvolvido para este estudo. Os dados encontrados no estudo foram favoráveis em relação às evidencias de validade com base na estrutura interna, apresentando quatro componentes teoricamente coerentes e interpretáveis; evidência de validade com base na relação com outras variáveis, indicando relações coerentes entre o escore total e componentes da nova dimensão e variáveis externas ao instrumento; e quanto à fi dedignidade por consistência interna da dimensão revisada e seus componentes (entre 0,73 e 0,86). Nesse sentido, conclui-se que a dimensão revisada é mais adequada da perspectiva psicométrica se comparada com sua versão original, além de estar mais relacionada ao funcionamento patológico da personalidade.

How does psychology vary across human societies? The fundamental social motives framework adopts an evolutionary approach to capture the broad range of human social goals within a taxonomy of ancestrally recurring threats and opportunities. These motives—self-protection, disease avoidance, affiliation, status, mate acquisition, mate retention, and kin care—are high in fitness relevance and everyday salience, yet understudied cross-culturally. Here, we gathered data on these motives in 42 countries (N = 15,915) in two cross-sectional waves, including 19 countries (N = 10,907) for which data were gathered in both waves. Wave 1 was collected from mid-2016 through late 2019 (32 countries, N = 8,998; 3,302 male, 5,585 female; Mage = 24.43, SD = 7.91). Wave 2 was collected from April through November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic (29 countries, N = 6,917; 2,249 male, 4,218 female; Mage = 28.59, SD = 11.31). These data can be used to assess differences and similarities in people’s fundamental social motives both across and within cultures, at different time points, and in relation to other commonly studied cultural indicators and outcomes.

RESUMO O objetivo desse estudo foi levantar e analisar ementas sobre ensino de avaliação psicológica dos cursos de Psicologia no Brasil. Para tanto, foram acessadas as ementas disponíveis em sites de instituições de ensino cadastradas pelo MEC. Após seleção das ementas, estas foram divididas em unidades de texto e classificadas com base nas Diretrizes para Ensino de Avaliação Psicológica. Como resultados, foram recuperadas 478 ementas provindas de 133 instituições. A distribuição de disciplinas foi do primeiro ao nono semestre, com ênfase no quarto, quinto e sexto. A carga horária é considerada insuficiente dada a quantidade de assuntos básicos a serem tratados. Também há ênfase no ensino tecnicista de testes em detrimento de disciplinas que visam compreensão mais ampla do processo, como o uso de técnicas de avaliação (entrevista, observação, entre outros), elaboração de laudos e psicometria. Muito ainda deve ser modificado para atingir a qualidade mínima na área. Palavras-chave: formação do psicólogo; ensino superior; testes psicológicos; psicologia; universidades.

Introduction: Personality disorders are among the most common disorders seen in clinical psychology. However, in Brazil there are few instruments for assessing the pathological characteristics of personality. Results: A total of 285 new items were developed and content analysis was used to select 33 of these to comprise the final version destined for administration. The results of parallel analysis and factor analysis identified four interpretable factors. Internal consistency coefficients were deemed acceptable and varied from 0.73 to 0.84 for the factors. Additionally, the expected correlations between the IDCP Inventory and the other tests were observed. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the revised dimension's suitability for assessment of the pathological traits of narcissistic personality disorder.

The present study aimed to review the Mood Instability dimension of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory (DCPI) and to examine its psychometric properties. To this end, new items were developed that were applied to 230 subjects, aged between 18 and 63 years (M = 23.0, SD = 9.44), with a majority of females (76.4%). All participants answered the DCPI, the Brazilian version of the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised and the Brazilian version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5). As a result, 306 new items were developed based on four sources of reference in the area and selected by means of content analysis and 27 items to compose the final version of the dimension to be applied. After data collection and statistical analysis, the reviewed dimension was composed of three factors plus a total score. The internal consistency coefficients were adequate and equal to .85 for the final set of 16 items, with a variation range between .78 and .81 per factor. Moreover, the expected intracorrelations were found, as well as consistent correlations with the instruments used. Data allow inferring validity evidence for the scale reviewed, as well as demonstrating satisfactory internal consistency. Key words: personality disorders, psychometrics, personality traits. REVISIÓN Y VERIFICACIÓN DE LAS PROPIEDADES PSICOMÉTRICAS DE LA DIMENSIÓN INESTABILIDAD DEL ESTADO DE ÁNIMO DEL INVENTARIO DIMENSIONAL CLÍNICO DE LA PERSONALIDAD ResumenEl presente estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar la dimensión Inestabilidad del Humor del Inventario Dimensional Clínico de la Personalidad (IDCP), y la investigación de sus propiedades psicométricas. Para ello se desarrollaron nuevos ítems que fueron aplicados a 230 participantes, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 63 años (M=23,0, DP=9,44), la mayoría de sexo femenino (76,4%). Todos los participantes respondieron el IDCP, la versión brasileña de la versión revisada del Inventario de Personalidad NEO, y la versión brasileña del Inventario de Personalidad para el DSM-5 (PID-5). Como resultado, 306 nuevos ítems fueron desarrollados con base en cuatro fuentes de referencia, y seleccionados mediante análisis de contenido, y 27 ítems que conformaron la versión final para la aplicación de la dimensión. Después de recoger los datos y de realizar el análisis estadístico, la dimensión analizada constaba de tres factores, además de una puntuación total. Los coeficientes de consistencia interna fueron adecuados e iguales a 0,85 para el conjunto final de 16 ítems con un rango de variación entre 0,78 y 0,81 por cada factor. De otra parte, se encontraron las intracorrelaciones esperadas, así como correlaciones coherentes con los instrumentos utilizados. Los datos permiten inferir evidencias de validez de la escala revisada, así como una demostración satisfactoria de la consistencia interna.
