“…To perform a scientifically rigorous neuropsychological (NP) examination, normative standards that are appropriate for the individual or population being assessed are essential (Heaton & Marcotte, 2000; Heaton, Ryan, & Grant, 2009; Woods et al, 2004). The purpose of such standardization is to make the best possible judgment with respect to whether the observed pattern of test results is within expectations for people with this type of background, or reflects an acquired brain disorder.…”

Healthy Zambian adults (N = 324) were evaluated to determine to what degree a Western neuropsychological (NP) test battery, with African American norms adjusted for age, gender, and education could be used in healthy Zambians, including 157 (48.46%) men and 167 (51.54%) women with an average age of 38.48 (SD = 12.80) years and an average education level of 11.02 (SD = 2.58) years. The NP battery included tests of attention/working memory, executive function, verbal fluency, processing speed, verbal and visual episodic memory, and fine motor skills. The Zambian Achievement Test (ZAT) and the U.S. Wide Range Achievement Test-4 (WRAT-4) reading subtest also were administered to assess literacy and quality of education. Similar to findings in Western countries, the Zambian results show substantial age and education effects on most tests and smaller, less consistent effects of gender. Beyond the basic demographic effects, urban/rural background had small effects on some cognitive variables, and the ZAT (but not WRAT-4) reading level was a robust predictor of performance on many NP tests, even when other background characteristics were controlled. Women in the United States tend to outperform men on tests of processing speed and episodic memory, Zambian women showed modest but statistically significant disadvantages versus their male counterparts. The results show that tests developed in the United States may be used in Zambia, but development and use of local cultural norms remains very important and is a must. New demographically corrected norms were developed for the cohort that was examined.

“…Disinhibition is associated with low impulse control via cognitive difficulties in planning and the need for immediate gratification (Patrick et al, 2009 ; Robertson et al, 2002 ). Like boldness, disinhibition also trends to be viewed negatively in the literature in terms of its impact on the workplace (Carre et al, 2018 ; Neo et al, 2018 ; Reio & Sanders-Reio, 2006 ).…”

With the dramatic shifts in the workforce that have emerged in the post–COVID-19 world, workers’ emotions have often presented very negatively, causing people to overtly display the dark aspects of their personality while at work. At the same time, organizations have been forced to adopt new technologies to fill the gaps in their desired outcomes and cope with changes in market demand. The ensuing clash between negative emotions and technological implementation may lead to intense conflicts and adverse work outcomes. This study hypothesizes a direct relationship between dark personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and technology acceptance. Using a multiple regression model with a sample of general workers from various industries ( n = 396), the study found that narcissism and psychopathy significantly impacted technology acceptance, while Machiavellianism did not. The findings offer valuable theoretical, practical, and managerial insights.
