“…The HEXACO‐PI has been used in a wide range of studies, including recent studies focusing on personality disorder traits (Crego & Widiger, 2017; King, 2007), sexual behaviour and sexual harassment (Bogaert et al., 2018), risk taking and sensation seeking (Sween et al., 2017), forgiveness and apology (Fetterman et al., 2019), economic behaviour (Thielmann & Hilbig, 2018) and political/social attitudes, religiosity and prejudice (Lee et al., 2018). Within the sporting context, in particular, personality has shown to be a key predictor for identification (Brown‐Devlin & Devlin, 2020), media consumption (Devlin & Brown‐Devlin, 2017), and post‐game BIRGing and CORFing behaviours (Brown‐Devlin et al., 2018).…”

While public relations professionals are beginning to utilize psychographic data for more refined audience targeting methods, this study examines how elemental personality traits impact (1) crisis communication outcomes (lessen levels of attributed crisis responsibility, improve individual's reputation and increase positive word‐of‐mouth) and (2) evaluations of crisis response strategies during a paracrisis. This study utilized an experimental design with 368 collegiate participants. Results suggest that several underlying personality traits predict reputation repair‐outcomes regardless of the communication strategy used. For example, findings suggested that stakeholders who rated higher in gentleness and lower in modesty and social boldness reported higher reputational scores pertaining to the offending individual. Yet, other traits, such as prudence, interacted with strategies that prompt the offending individual's preferred crisis communication outcomes.

“…As such, we include the relevant measures. The willingness to admit wrongness measure (Fetterman et al, 2019) is a seven-item, scenario-based scale measuring the likelihood that the respondent will admit when they are wrong, on a 5-point scale (1 = 'very unlikely' to 5 = 'very likely'). We averaged across the items and found it to be internally reliable (M = 3.66, SD = 0.78, α = .82).…”

On Post–Apocalyptic and Doomsday Prepping Beliefs: A New Measure, Its Correlates, and the Motivation to Prep

Post‐apocalyptic scenarios provide the basis for popular television shows, video games, and books. These scenarios may be popular because people have their own beliefs and visions about the apocalypse and the need to prepare. The prevalence of such beliefs might also hold societal relevance and serve as a type of projective test of personality. However, there are no quantitative accounts of post‐apocalyptic or prepping beliefs. As such, we conducted seven studies (Ntotal = 1034) to do so. In Studies 1 and 2, we developed a post‐apocalyptic and prepping beliefs scale, explored its correlates, and confirmed its structure and psychometric properties. In Study 3, we attempted to activate a ‘prepper’ mindset and further explore the correlates of the new scale. In Studies 4 and 5, we investigated covariations in daily feelings, thoughts, and events, and prepping beliefs. In Studies 6a and 6b, we compared scores from ‘real’ preppers and to a non‐prepping group. Overall, we found that post‐apocalyptic concerns and prepping beliefs are predictive of low agreeableness and humility, paranoia, cynicism, conspiracy mentality, conservatism, and social dominance orientation. We also found that increased belief in the need to prep is associated with God‐belief, negative daily experiences, and global political events. © 2019 European Association of Personality Psychology

“…Understanding IH and EI in a combination of interdisciplinary studies is a relatively new effort. Several studies have attempted to examine this relationship such as the admission of wrongness (Fetterman, Curtis, Carre, & Sassenberg, 2019), win by cheating: achievement goal approach (Van Yperen, Hamstra, & Van Der Klauw, 2011), religious teachings as specific views with humility (Hoyle et al, 2016), spiritual awfulness linked to happiness and positive emotions (Preston & Shin, 2017), and emotions and faith development (Wrench et al, 2020). Such studies illustrated the increasing attention paid to the relationship between emotions and humility.…”

Since emotional intelligence receives much attention in the context of academic success and intellectual humility is frequently studied in the context of career path, research concerning the relationship between emotional intelligence and intellectual humility on academic achievement is a necessity. This study aims to investigate that relationship while contributing to higher education on the insight to an employable graduate. The quantitative approach was implemented as the research framework by applying independent t-test and multiple regression in the first and second phases respectively. We found that the total score of intellectual humility and emotional intelligence for students (male and female) in the first year have a significant effect, while only the total score of intellectual humility among male in the second year has a significant effect on GPA (n = 531). Acknowledging academic achievement is an important variable in student’s academic process and intellectual humility to continuously plan, adapt, adjust, and evaluate their set of competencies, while simultaneously their engagement in a non-academic activity should be fostered. Besides, we suggest a mentor programme on both career and academic dimensions to make them enjoy and comfortable during their educational process. An understanding of IH during the educational process is impossible without serious attention to emotion, including the religious dimension.
