Abstract

In this study, variables predicting the five-factor personality traits of adolescents were examined. These variables are cognitive flexibility, social self-efficacy, and cognitive errors. Research on middle and high school students from 7th.8th.9th.10th.11th.and 12th grades, a total of 441 students, participated to the study. In the study, the Five Factor Personality Inventory, Social Self Efficacy Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Scale and Cognitive Errors Questionnaire were used. The findings of the study show that significant predictied variables for five personality traits are cognitive flexibility, social self-efficacy and cognitive errors. As a result, positive relationship between social self-efficacy and extraversion, aggreeablesness, and openness to experiences personality traits were emerged. It was determined that there was a positive relationship between self-control personality traits and cognitive flexibility, and a negative relationship cognitive flexibility with neuroticism. However, results showed that overgeneralization error was commonly used by people who had self-control and neuroticism personality traits. Self-control and agreeablesness of the personality traits were used at the same time personalization errors. It is determined that only individuals with agreeablesness trait seemed to made error of selective abstraction. Overall, It is seen that people who are cognitive flexibility are extraversion, agreeablesness, self-control and openness to experiences personality traits.

The Mediating Role of Cognitive Flexibility in the Relationship Between Social Media Addiction and Mental Well-Being in Young Adults

“…As a result of this situation, individuals can meet their social competence expectations in a healthy way. The said finding shows similarities with the studies by Bilgin (2009), Martin and Rubin (1995), and Martin and Anderson (1998), demonstrating a relationship between cognitive flexibility and social competence. Social competence, which directs the individual's cognitive structures, can enable the individual to have a flexible cognitive structure and decrease the attitudes leading to social media usage.…”

Influence of Perceived Social Support on Forgiveness in University Students: Examining The Mediator Role of Cognitive Flexibility and Moderator Role of Gender

“…People with high cognitive flexibility are better at making changes on the fly and more easily than people with low cognitive flexibility (Cox, 1980). An individual with cognitive flexibility, on the other hand, is aware of options, able to deal with novel and challenging situations, produce alternate thoughts and ideas, and is better able to adapt to novel situations (Bilgin, 2009;Buğa et al, 2018;Martin & Rubin, 1995;Stahl & Pry, 2005).Some results of studies have shown that cognitive flexibility is related to the perceived stress level of cognitive flexibility (Buğa et al, 2018), problem-solving skills (Bilgin, 2009), anger (Diril, 2011), self-compassion (Martin et al, 2011), academic performance and openness to change (Lin, 2013), consciousness (Moore & Malinowski, 2009) and posttraumatic stress disorder, experiential escape and depression (Palm & Follette, 2011). Thompson and Shahen (2003) have argued that a person with these problem-solving skills should demonstrate cognitive flexibility.…”
