Social effects represent the psychological (emotional, cognitive, and motivational) reactions evoked in other people by the expression of traits in behavior and emotion. From the transactional view on personality, studying the psycholexical structures of social effects can help to discover unique vs. common thought and behavior patterns, affects, a...
We developed a taxonomy and structure of Lithuanian personality attributes following the principles of the psycholexical approach. Personality-relevant descriptors – 9,625 adjectives, type-nouns, attribute-nouns, and participles – were selected from the Dictionary of the Standard Lithuanian Language by two judges, and subsequently classified by six...
Ashton and Lee (2020a) declare their belief in HEXACO as the optimal model of traits. They fail, however, to deliver a coherent line of reasoning, use detailed side-issues to tackle big problems, are relaxed about giving true facts and fare bt examples, instead of systematic studies. We point at different issues, such as the rhetorical style, the u...
Much research has been conducted on the relationship between ideology, voter preferences and electoral choice. However, due to the complexity of the relationship, differences in the understanding of ideology and the diversity of political systems, the issue has not yet been fully explored. Current research approaches the problems by monitoring the...
Osjećaj koherentnosti pokazao se značajnim faktorom koji doprinosi pozitivnim zdravstvenim ishodima. U prethodnim istraživanjima dimenzije ličnosti pokazale su se značajnim prediktorom osjećaja koherentnosti, a stilovi suočavanja bili su značajno povezani s osjećajem koherentnosti. Veza konstrukta netolerancije na neizvjesnost i osjećaja koherentno...
We investigated a two-dimensional structure of traits in eleven trait-taxonomies. Ratings from 7,104 participants on 4,642 trait variables were used. We studied exploratory two-factor (PCA) results, hierarchies of solutions with two and five factors, second-order structures of solutions with five factors, and confirmatory analyses. Moreover, we did...
The psycholexical origin of the Big Five model is sketched, theoretical considerations that have guided the development of the model are given, different structural representations are described, critical notions reported, and cross-cultural findings and its usefulness reviewed. The importance of a paradigm for furthering the field is emphasized, a...
The study of personality development in adolescence is a relatively new enterprise, with most of the research in this field having been conducted in the last 10 years. Reasons for the delayed interest in personality changes during adolescence are in the early views on personality development, the lack of a shared model and consensus on measuring st...
A dictionary is the tangible repository of the common stock of words, although dictionaries comprise at best 10% of the full lexicon. Part of the lexicon is made up of the words used to describe what people do and what people are like. The psycholexical approach to personality focuses on this subset of words and on its exploitation, or what can be...
The purpose of the present study is to find the common kernel of different trait taxonomic studies and find out how the individual structures relate to this common kernel. Trait terms from 11 psycholexically based taxonomies were all translated into English. On the basis of the commonalities in English, the 11 matrices were merged into a joint matr...
In light of the growing importance of web-based data in the social and behavioral sciences, WEBDATANET was established in 2011 as a COST Action (IS 1004) to create a multidisciplinary network of web-based data collection experts: (web) survey methodologists, psychologists, sociologists, linguists, economists, Internet scientists, media and public o...
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between personality dimensions according to the Big-Five model of personality and the success of high school students in physical education. A sample of participants consisted of 100 high school students at the age of 16 and 17. For the measurement of personality dimensions according to the Bi...
The aim of this study was to determine the relations between the Big-Five personality dimensions as well as body image coping strategies and binge eating.

Machiavellianism describes a set of interpersonal tactics and beliefs regarding human nature. Even though the theoretical concept implies multidimensionality, it was usually operationalized as an unidimensional construct. Whereas psychometric analyses and recent conceptualizations of the construct suggest a multidimensional approach, the aim of thi...
Posljednjih se godina sve veća pažnja pridaje pojavi prejedanja kao poremećaju hranjenja, ali i obrascu pona-šanja koji se pojavljuje iz različitih razloga, te ne mora imati značajke poremećaja (1,2). U nizu poremećaja hra-njenja prejedanje se javlja kao jedna od sastavnica (bu-limia nervosa, poremećaj prejedanja, anorexia nervosa prežderavajući/pu...
n this article, we describe the construct validation of a General Social Attitudes Scale (SAS_G), designed to measure the basic dimensions of social attitudes in both self-reports and peer-ratings. A large sample of Croatian university students (N = 452) used the SAS_G to describe their own social attitudes, which were also described by 452 of thei...

we examined the role of stage resolution derived from the first
six stage crises outlined by Erikson and emotional competence
in prediction of avoidance and anxiety in romantic
relationships. Taking personality dimensions into consideration,
only intimacy was found to be significant i...
We reply to Ashton and Lee’s (2010) comments on our paper on the cross-cultural replicability of trait factors (De Raad et al., 2010). More specifically, we comment on the interpretation of congruence coefficients, the distinction between Agreeableness and Honesty–Humility in three languages, and the inclusion of a lexical study that has a differen...
We tested the hypothesis that only 3 factors of personality description are replicable across many different languages if they are independently derived by a psycholexical approach. Our test was based on 14 trait taxonomies from 12 different languages. Factors were compared at each level of factor extraction with solutions with 1 to 6 factors. The...
We proposed, described and classified 17 specific characteristics of elite athletes in team sports games which, we presumed, have influence on the functioning and performance of individual players and the whole team. A hypothetical structure of six categories of mostly psychological and social variables was constructed. These are: locus of control,...
The concept of dispositional resistance to change has been introduced in a series of exploratory and confirmatory analyses through which the validity of the Resistance to Change (RTC) Scale has been established (S. Oreg, 2003). However, the vast majority of participants with whom the scale was validated were from the United States. The purpose of t...
In this study terms of abuse are investigated in 11 different cultures. Spontaneous verbal aggression is to a certain extent reminiscent of the values of a certain culture. Almost 3000 subjects from Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Croatia, Poland, Great Britain, USA, Norway, Greece, and The Netherlands were asked to write down terms of abuse that th...
The present article focuses on two main problems: determining the factor structure of personality ratings of familiar Croatian brands and

The research aims to provide more specific information on the precise relationship between life stress exposure and psychological problems in adolescents (15-17 years old), as well as the biological processes underlying these effects. In addition, this research will consider a number of other factors that may moderate the relationship between life stress and psychological problems as part of a four-wave longitudinal study over two years.
