“…To this end, multiple studies have been conducted that included polychronicity alongside other individual differences predictor measures, and research has accumulated on the construct validity of polychronicity. Specifically, a variety of traits and dispositions have shown convergent validity with polychronicity, including Extroversion (Conte & Gintoft, 2005;Conte & Jacobs, 2003;Kinney, 2007), general mental ability (Conte & Jacobs, 2003;Kinney, 2007), Openness (Kinney, 2007), Agreeableness (Kinney, 2007), stress tolerance (Kinney, 2007), achievement striving (Kinney, 2007), Type A personality (Conte, Rizzuto, & Steiner, 1999), and learning and performance-avoid goal orientation (Schell & Conte, 2008). Constructs showing discriminant validity with polychronicity include Conscientiousness (Conte & Jacobs, 2003;Kinney, 2007) and performance-prove goal orientation (Schell & Conte, 2008).…”
