“…While Wilson and Brazendale (1973), Chlewinski (1981), Caird (1987) and Robinson (1990) confirm the lack of relationship between neuroticism and religiosity, Johnson et al (1989) report a negative relationship in one of their samples. Meanwhile, Watson, Morris, Foster, and Hood (1986), Heaven (1990), and Biegel and Lester (1990) find evidence for positive relationships.…”

ABSTRACT:The short-form Revised Eysenck Personality questionnaire was completed by 462 female university students between the ages of 18 and 30 in France, together with the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity. The findings are consistent with those from a series of studies employing the same measure of religiosity among school pupils and adults in England and Wales, thus adding to the cross-cultural evidence concerning the stability of the association between personality and religion. According to these findings there is an inverse relationship between psychoticism and religiosity, while neither neuroticism nor extraversion is either positively or negatively related to religiosity. These findings are discussed in terms of Eysenck's theory relating personality to social attitudes and in light of discrepant findings proposed by other studies conducted among adult samples. Keywords: Eysenck, France, personality, religion. Personalidad y religión entre los estudiantes del sexo femenino en universidades de FranciaRESUMEN: 462 jóvenes francesas de entre 18 y 30 años cumplimentaron la forma abreviada y revisada del cuestionario de personalidad de Eysenck junto con la escala de actitudes hacia el Cristianismo de Francis. Los resultados son equivalentes a una serie de resultados de estudios utilizando la misma escala de religión entre estudiantes y adultos en Inglaterra y Gales. Según estos resultados, existe una relación inversa entre el psicoticismo y la religión, aunque ni el neuroticismo ni la extraversión tienen una relación positiva o negativa con la religión. Se habla de estos resultados en términos de la teoría de Eysenck que relaciona la personalidad con las actitudes sociales y teniendo en cuenta los resultados discrepantes propuestos por otros estudios con muestras adultas.

“…There is already in the literature a few studies which have administered the Eysenckian personality scales alongside the two measures of extrinsic and intrinsic religious orientations, including Johnson, Danko, Darvill, Bochner, Bowers, Huang, Park, Pecjak, Rahim, and Pennington (1989), Chau, Johnson, Bowers, Darvill, and Danko (1990), Robinson (1990), Maltby, Talley, Cooper, and Leslie (1995), Hutchinson, Patock-Peckham, Cheong, and Nagoshi (1998), and Maltby and Day (2004). A smaller number of studies have administered the Eysenckian personality scales alongside the three measures of extrinsic, intrinsic and quest religious orientation, including Tjeltveit, Fiordalisi, and Smith (1996), and Hills, Francis, Argyle, and Jackson (2004).…”

SummaryBeit-Hallami and Argyle (1997) concluded that individual differences in religiosity are inversely related to psychoticism but independent of extraversion and neuroticism. The aim of the present study is to test the generalisability of that conclusion within the context of Eysenck"s dimensional model of personality by distinguishing between different conceptualisations of religiosity and by distinguishing between different overall levels of religiosity in the sample. A total of 517 undergraduate students in Wales completed the shortform of the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire together with the New Indices of Religious Orientation. The data demonstrated that in the sample as a whole intrinsic religious orientation was associated with low psychoticism scores, but independent of extraversion scores and neuroticism scores; that extrinsic religious orientation was associated with low psychoticism scores and high neuroticism scores, but independent of extraversion scores; and that quest religious orientation was associated with high neuroticism scores and low extraversion scores, but independent of psychoticism scores. The pattern of relationships changed, however, when separate analyses were conducted among weekly churchgoers and among individuals who never attended church. These data suggest that the pattern of relationship between personality and religion may vary both according to the form of religiosity assessed and according to the samples being studied. The conclusion is drawn that Beit-Hallami and Argyle"s conclusion is misleading unless nuanced in terms of the aspects of religiosity and the populations to which it applies. Currently the largest number of studies concerned with the relationship between personality and religion has been conducted within Eysenck"s framework of the three orthogonal dimensions of extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism. When Beit-Hallahmi and Argyle (1997) updated their earlier review of empirical findings in the psychology of religion, they revised their earlier conclusion. They maintained that at that time the empirical evidence supported the conclusion that scores recorded on indices of religiosity were inversely related to psychoticism scores, but independent of both extraversion scores and neuroticism scores.Evidence for this conclusion can be drawn from two sets of studies. The first set of studies adopted church attendance as the indicator of religiosity. Included in this series were Ireland (Lewis, 1999(Lewis, , 2000b(Lewis, , 2001Lewis & Joseph, 1994), Republic of Ireland (Maltby, 1997;Maltby & Lewis, 1997), United Kingdom (Bourke & Francis, 2000 Francis & Bennett, 1992;Shuter-Dyson, 2000; Bourke, Francis, & Robbins, 2005), and United States (Lewis & Maltby, 1995;Roman & Lester, 1999). Personality and religious orientation 5The consistent finding that religiosity is negatively related to Eysenck"s personality dimension of psychoticism demands a theoretical explanation. One explanation is provided by Eysenck"s own wider theory relating personality and...

“…More than 60% of extraverted bloggers report that they knowingly contribute to a pool of information for people whom they have never met. In addition, Johnson et al (1989) argue that those who are more extraverted are more talkative and therefore have greater opportunities to offer or receive help.Research focussing on the relationship between extraversion and vengeance is lacking. However because extroverts are more goal-oriented (Wang and Erdheim, 2007), they might be more prone to seek revenge through UGC creation after a negative service experience.…”

User-generated content behaviour of the dissatisfied service customer Structured Abstract Purpose This study focuses on the motivation of service customers to create user-generated content (UGC) after a negative service experience. In examining this relationship, the moderating role of "extraversion" personality trait is also taken into consideration. Furthermore, the paper examines how differently motivated service customers react to a firm's service recovery strategies, whilst, insights into the relationship between UGC creation and specific online platform usage are also provided. Design/methodology/approachWe use SEM to test our conceptual model, based on an empirical dataset collected from an online survey research of 239 service customers. The dataset pertains to international travellers and their UGC behaviour after a negative travel experience. FindingsAltruistic, vengeance and economic motivations are strong drivers for UGC creation after a negative service experience. Motivations also correlate to participation in specific online platforms. Furthermore, it is shown that highly extraverted customers create more UGC after a negative service experience when motivated by vengeance. Finally, higher levels of altruistic and self-enhancement motivations correlate with a positive attitude towards a firm's response, whereas customers who are motivated by vengeance have a negative attitude towards a firm's response. Practical implicationsCustomers who share their negative service experience by creating UGC in social media, can be segmented according to their motivation. Service providers should inspect the UGC of their customers to understand the motivation behind it. The motivations to create UGC varies across platforms, and hence, customized service recovery strategies are required. Originality/valueThis paper examines UGC creation in relation to motivation, extraversion, and attitude towards a firm's response. This is the first reported application which collectively examines important issues like these in a unified theoretical framework.Keywords: User-generated content, motivation, extraversion, social media, word-of-mouth, service recovery Article Classification: Research paper 2 User-generated content behaviour of the dissatisfied service customer IntroductionThe web 2.0 interface encourages Internet users to produce user-generated content (UGC), which refers to any material created and uploaded to the Internet by non-media professionals, whether it is a comment posted on Amazon.com, a professional-quality video uploaded to YouTube, or a student's profile on Facebook (Interactive Advertising Bureau, 2008). From a service customer's perspective, much of the UGC is directed at fellow Internet users, which include friends, family, fellow service customers and service providers, through personal communication and information exchange in a variety of online platforms (Sigala, 2008). When the delivered service does not meet customers' expectations, service failure occurs which leads to dissatisfaction (Oliver, 1...
