“…Gender differences were found only for aggregated state general-school ASC, with young men indicating higher general-school ASC than young women. In a similar vein, the correlations between the Big Five and the covariates were mostly consistent with previous research (Bartels et al, 2012; Nikolašević et al, 2021; Poropat, 2009; Soto & John, 2017; see in the online supplemental materials). Regarding the Big Five, high open-mindedness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness but low negative emotionality significantly related to higher GPA.…”

“…Furthermore, studies have revealed gender-related differences in trait ASC, with boys and young men typically reporting higher general-school ASC than girls and young women regardless of their actual academic achievement (e.g., Parker et al, 2018). With respect to the Big Five, it has been found that conscientiousness and open-mindedness in particular are related to secondary school students’ grades (Poropat, 2009), and twin studies have revealed significant genetic or environmental associations between reasoning ability and negative emotionality, open-mindedness, as well as a range of subfacets from all Big Five domains (Bartels et al, 2012; Nikolašević et al, 2021). Concerning the Big Five and gender, Soto and John (2017) reported significant gender differences for some domains and subfacets.…”

A positive academic self-concept (ASC) relates to many desirable educational outcomes. Research on which student characteristics relate to the formation of ASC is therefore crucial. To examine the importance of personality for ASC, we investigated the relation between Big Five traits and mean level as well as within-person variability in state general-school ASC for the first time using intensive longitudinal data. The sample comprised N = 291 German ninth and 10th graders who completed a 3-week e-diary after filling in a 60-item Big Five questionnaire assessing extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, negative emotionality, and open-mindedness as well as their respective subfacets (15 subfacets overall). To assess state ASC, students completed three items after each lesson in four different subjects (resulting in Mlessons = 21.32). We ran six mixed-effects location scale models: one with all broad Big Five domains and five (one for each Big Five domain) with the subfacets as predictors of state ASC. Higher scores in the domains and in at least one subfacet of open-mindedness, conscientiousness, and extraversion but lower scores in negative emotionality were related to higher mean levels of state ASC. Higher scores in depression (subfacet of negative emotionality) were related to greater within-person variability in state ASC. These findings suggest that Big Five traits are predictors of mean level and within-person variability in students’ state ASC, thus contributing to a more complete map of the formation of students’ ASC and the role of personality therein. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…They offer the chance to study the impact of behaviour and genetics on disease, ageing, traits and response to medical treatments while controlling for genetic and early environmental confounding factors 1 2. Conducting such studies requires collecting data from a large number of twins, which has led to the emergence of twin registries as an effective method for recruiting a large number of twins 3 4. Despite their potential, twin registries often face common challenges such as high costs associated with registration, logistics and the difficulties in ensuring the recruitment and continuous participation of twins, which can hinder their objectives 5–13.…”

BackgroundTwin registries and cohorts face numerous challenges, including significant resource allocation, twins’ recruitment and retention. This study aimed to assess expert feedback on a proposed pragmatic idea for launching a continuous health promotion and prevention programme (HPPP) to establish and maintain twin cohorts.DesignA qualitative study incorporating an inductive thematic analysis.SettingTehran University of Medical Sciences.ParticipantsResearchers with expertise in twin studies participated in our study.Analysis and designExpert opinions were gathered through focus group discussions (FGDs). Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the findings and develop a model for designing a comprehensive, long-term health promotion programme using ATLAS.ti software. Additionally, a standardised framework was developed to represent the conceptual model of the twin HPPP.ResultsEight FGDs were conducted, involving 16 experts. Thematic analysis identified eight themes and seven subthemes that encompassed the critical aspects of a continuous monitoring programme for twin health. Based on these identified themes, a conceptual framework was developed for the implementation of an HPPP tailored for twins.ConclusionThis study presented the initial endeavour to establish a comprehensive and practical solution in the form of a continuous HPPP designed to tackle the obstacles of twins’ cohorts.

“…Research evidence for the interplay between two fundamental constructs of individual differences suggests that personality and cognition are related at phenotypic and genetic levels (e.g., Curtis et al, 2015; Rammstedt et al, 2018; Nikolašević et al, 2021). At least on the surface, executive function as a cognitive measure shares many conceptual characteristics of some personality traits, which the literature has documented using similar concepts and characteristics to define strategies in both personality and executive function domains (Bergvall et al, 2003).…”

The Relationship Between Behavior Aspects of Executive Functions and Personality Traits in Healthy Young Adults

Executive functions (ЕF) are complex cognitive processes that govern our behavior and thoughts. Associations between personality traits and executive functions clarify the mechanisms of a person’s ability to function in everyday situations. The main goal of this study was to explore different personality dimensions relevant to the prediction of two different executive functions – Inhibition and Working Memory. The Big Five Inventory and the Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI) were administered on a community sample comprising 549 young adults aged 18–35 years (mean age 22.10 years, SD 3.13). After controlling for age, gender and level of education, Conscientiousness and Extraversion were the most predictive personality traits, while Neuroticism and Agreeableness made specific contributions to the prediction of one of the two executive measures: Working Memory or Inhibition. Specifically, high Conscientiousness and Extraversion with low Neuroticism were significant predictors of Working Memory ability. On the other hand, high Conscientiousness and Agreeableness with low Extraversion predicted better Inhibition ability. These findings support the conclusion that these dimensions of individual differences seem to have numerous points of overlap at both psychological and neurobiological levels, but differences between these constructs are still significant.
