“…Clear-cut hypotheses with regard to individuals' labor market success are however difficult to establish, since similar to openness and agreeableness, reciprocal behavior may work in either direction. Furthermore, there is evidence that reciprocity and the FFM traits -in particular agreeableness and neuroticismare associated with each other (Ashton et al, 1998).…”

Terms of use: Documents in SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be requested from the author directly. AbstractWe provide the first joint evidence on the relationship between individuals' cognitive abilities, their personality and earnings for Germany. Using data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study, we employ scores from an ultra-short IQ-test and a set of measures of personality traits, namely locus of control, reciprocity and all basic items from the Five Factor Personality Inventory. Our estimates suggest a positive effect of so-called fluid intelligence or speed of cognition on males' wages only. Findings for personality traits are more heterogeneous. There however is a robust wage penalty for an external locus of control for both men and women.

“…Two principal dimensions of this scale were kin altruism and reciprocal altruism that consisted of 16 Likert type statements. Internal consistency for empathy subscale and affiliation seeking were 0.73, and subscale of forgiveness and non-revengefulness were 0.75 (Ashton et al, 1998). Factor analysis of this scale using Varimax rotations indicated that altruism scale was consisted of two factors: half of the statement constituted empathy and affiliation seeking, factor and the remaining were constituted forgiveness and non-revengefulness factor.…”

“…Kin and, reciprocal altruism scales (Ashton, 1998) was developed by Ashton (1998) to measure altruistic behaviors in individuals. This measure was consisted of several subscales including empathy, affiliation seeking, and forgiveness (Ashton, Paunonen, Helmes, & Jackson, 1998). Two principal dimensions of this scale were kin altruism and reciprocal altruism that consisted of 16 Likert type statements.…”

The aim of the current study was to investigate gender differences in quality of attachment to God, forgiveness, altruism and mental health in college and seminary school students as well. To fulfil the stated goal 993 individuals were selected by means of stratified sampling procedures and the following measures were distributed among them:Muslim-Spiritual Attachment Scale, Kin Altruism, Reciprocal Altruism Enright Forgiveness Inventory, and Symptom Checklist-90 Revised. Analysis of data using t test revealed significant differences between male and female students (P < 0.01). Moreover, data indicated that interpersonal sensitivity was higher in male students while somatization complains was higher among female students. Analysis of data showed that quality of secure attachment in female students were higher than male students (P < 0.01). Moreover, female students were higher in altruism, especially in domain of compassion (P < 0.05). In addition female students were higher in perceiving God as a Safe Haven and providing them with comfort and tranquility. Moreover, females students were higher in altruism (p < 0.05), and forgiveness (p < 0.01). The analysis of data revealed that female students were higher in the secure attachment to God, sympathy toward others and they scored higher in somatization complain while male students were higher in the interpersonal sensitivity. Theoretical implication and practical application of findings have been discussed in the original paper. Findings in this project were consistent with body of research findings.Theoretical implication and practical usage of the current study was described in the original paper. Data revealed that female student were higher in secure attachment to God, altruism and forgiveness. Showing emotional stability and higher spirituality

“…Some of this research has illuminated various personality traits, cognitions, emotions, and personal values that are associated with forgiveness. For example, some personality traits have been shown to correlate positively with forgiveness, such as agreeableness (e.g., Ashton, Paunonen, Helmes, & Jackson, 1998;McCullough & Hoyt, 2002) and emotional stability (e.g., Ashton et al, 1998;Berry, Worthington, Parrott, O'Connor, & Wade, 2001). When individuals forgive, they tend to make generous attributions about and evaluations of the transgressor and the transgression (e.g., Bradfield & Aquino, 1999;Shapiro, 1991).…”

Deliberate self-persuasion and forgiveness

After being hurt by a romantic partner, individuals may feel ambivalent towards their partner.Specifically, individuals' feelings about their partner after a transgression (current attitudes) may be discrepant from how they want to feel about their partner (desired attitudes). When individuals are aware of such a discrepancy, they may be motivated to resolve it by using mental strategies (e.g., focusing on the positive characteristics of the partner or focusing on events that are not related to the transgression) that bring their current attitudes more in line with their desired attitudes, a process that has been labeled deliberate self-persuasion (Maio & Thomas, 2007). In three studies, we empirically tested the deliberate self-persuasion process within a forgiveness context. In Study 1, participants recalled a transgression within the last six months in which they were harmed by their romantic partner and indicated their responses to the transgression. In Study 2, participants imagined a hypothetical scenario in which they were harmed by their romantic partner and reported how they would respond to the transgression. In Study 3, participants who were transgressed against by their romantic partner within the last week were asked to indicate their reactions to the transgression over a three-week period. In general, more ambivalent feelings toward the transgressor were associated with more need to resolve the ambivalence. In turn, the need to resolve the discrepancy was sometimes associated with more use of deliberate self-persuasion strategies and was consistently associated with greater discussion of the transgression with the partner.Although the results indicated that participants may not always resolve their feelings of ambivalence using deliberate self-persuasion strategies, strategies predicted forgiving responses in all three studies. In addition, the use of deliberate self-persuasion strategies was associated in Study 3 with greater increases in forgiveness over time. The results from the current studies provide some empirical support for a deliberate self-persuasion model of iv forgiveness.
