The relationships between online social networking (OSN) behaviour and users’ self-esteem are as important as well as ambiguous: Both positive and negative self-esteem can encourage users to engage in OSNs. This work examined whether personality traits and attitudes toward traits can explain this controversy. Data from 830 users of Vk.com, a Russia...
The Big Five Inventory–2 (BFI-2) is a recently published 60-item questionnaire that measures personality traits within the five-factor model framework. An important aspect of the BFI-2 is that it measures the traits at both the domain and facet levels and also controls acquiescence bias via the balanced number of true- and false-keyed items across...
Objective.
Changeability of personality over short-term intervals has increasingly become a focus of research. However, the role played by argumentation interventions in short-term variations has scarcely been examined.
Methods.
In two experiments (Ns = 363 and 320), we investigated how processing positive and negative argumentation regarding ex...
We studied how personality traits relate to academic output indicators. Three-hundred Russian academic authors agreed to participate in the study. They completed the Big Five Inventory-2 online; we gathered their h-index, publication counts, and citation counts using the core Russian Science Citation Index database. Three personality facets―Creativ...
The current study investigates stability and change in self-esteem among Russian emerging adults. Self-esteem of 1,004 undergraduates (Mage = 19.50, SDage = 1.25) was assessed during their bachelor’s program (T1). Eight years later, 242 of them took part in an online follow-up (T2). Self-esteem was measured with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. We...
More than 25 years ago, Luskin etal. (1998) wrote that the time of media psychology had arrived. However, it has not happened yet, or has unfolded differently from what was expected. Our bibliometric study of up-to-date media psychology provides a comprehensive overview of the field's development and structure. We trace the evolution of the researc...
Background. Intellectual humility (IH) can be defined as an awareness of one's intellectual fallacy that does not threaten the Ego. The Comprehensive Scale of Intellectual Humility (CIHS; Krumrei-Mancuso & Rouse, 2016) measures four aspects of IH: Openness to Revising One’s Viewpoint, Lack of Intellectual Overconfidence, Independence of Intellect a...
The article was published in Russian. It presents taxonomy of personality traits based on Russian adjectives. As personality structures derived from adjectives have been widespread worldwide, the identification of such a structure for the Russian language would open up possibility of applying global taxonomies like the Big Five and HEXACO to the Ru...

Статья посвящена сравнению нового русского словаря описателей черт личности, разработанного авторами, с тезаурусом личностных черт, подготовленным А.Г. Шмелевым с коллегами в 1980–1990 гг. В новом словаре слова были отобраны из 140 тыс. прилагательных, существительных, глаголов и на...
Abstract: Creativity is becoming one necessary human skill in a world where robots increasingly outperform people in daily routines. In order to efficiently develop creativity as a research field, scholars need to know where they are. We employed a bibliometric approach to study themes and characteristics of creativity research in Spain. The result...
Contemporary personality taxonomies such as the Big Five and HEXACO have succeeded in identifying basic, independent elements called traits or domains. However, the reason why the composition of these taxonomies is exactly as it is, has not been widely discussed. A hypothetical models TRASY-3 is aimed at filling this gap. TRASY-3 postulates that a...
The healthy lifestyle of people around the world has changed dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. The personality risk factors for these processes from around the world remain understudied. This study aimed to examine the associations of the Big Five traits with a healthy lifestyle during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a cross-sectional study, dat...
Creativity represents a young and promising academic field of research. Over the last 20 years, creativity publications have been steadily increasing in number. Of the 20 most all-time prolific creativity scholars in the European Union (EU), only one has retired. The present paper aims at mapping the EU creativity research. We analyzed over 12,000...
The study was aimed to examine psychometric properties of short (BFI-2-S; 30 items) and extra-short (BFI-2-XS; 15 items) forms of the Russian version of the Big Five Inventory-2. Two samples were employed having comprised Internet users (N = 1787) and students (N = 1024). Scores on the BFI-2-X/BFI-2-XS scales and their subscales were distributed no...
Русский неопубликованный перевод шкалы Розенберга, который я сделал в 2012 для собственных исследовательских нужд. Впоследствии я несколько раз эту версию использовал с достаточно неплохими психометрическими последствиями (напр., Shchebetenko, 2019; диссертация 2017)
The article presents a Russian-language adaptation of the 12-point Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCC, [Camp- bell et al, 1996]) on a sample of 349 participants. Good psychometric properties were confirmed. In particular, internal reliability was found to be good (α = 0,87), The factor analysis confirmed a one-factor structure of the SCC Scale, which...

The present article aims to assess psychometric characteristics of a Russian version of the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2). This questionnaire measures five basic personality domains, as well as three facets per domain. We colle...
According the psycho-lexical hypothesis, any substantial individual differences in human behavior, emo-tions, cognition and motivation are supposed to be reflected in the language, which means that by analyzing the language one will be able to identify these differences. Further, using the factor analysis of self-reported individual differences, it...
В исследовании, представленном в данной статье, впервые предлагается разносторонняя разработка проблемы Я-Неизвестного. Она охватывает его генез, условия существования, его связи с Я-Известным и парадоксальность этих связей, субъектный характер его поиска и раскрытия, его влияние на процессы достижения самотождества Я и самопреобразования личности....
Objectives: Despite being often overlapped and used interchangeably in academic literature, loving-kindness meditation (LKM) and compassion meditation (CM) are also seen to have their distinct features. As a differential approach towards LKM and CM can promote a more accurate integration of these practices into the clinical field, it is worth study...

Why are there various personality traits and why are those traits revealed in widely-acclaimed models such as the Big Five? The Three-Dimensional Trait System (3D-TRASY) states that any personality trait can be defined in terms of three basic sources. The first source represents traits’ variability with regard to the brain’s functioning in terms of...
This talk is on how the arguments pro and contra extraversion could affect the trait itself and the attitude toward it. In two studies (Ns = 363 & 320), trait extraversion showed resistance against two sorts of argumentation, while the attitude toward extraversion revealed a limited change (especially in the self-argumentation condition). Two artif...
В статье рассматривается вклад личностных характеристик в предсказание времени диалога и расстояния для общения. В ходе исследования у 394 участников брали интервью; тем самым они попадали в ситуацию социального взаимодействия. Предполагалось, что время и расстояние будут связаны с экстраверсией и установкой на экстраверсию. Однако было установлено...
Половые различия черт личности по модели «Большая Пятерка» стабильно воспроизводятся в разных исследованиях, проводимых в разных культурах. Причины этих различий обычно раскрываются в биологизаторских и социальных теориях. Рефлексивный компонент черт личности также может служить их объяснением. Так, ранее (Shchebetenko, 2017) было показано, что пол...

The aim of this study was to examine whether personality traits predict sample depletion, which occurs in the studies with two stages of data collection. Methodologically, the problem was studied in terms of the five-factor theory of personality (McCrae, Costa, 2013). The study was conducted in two stages. At Stage 1, 1030 students participated in...
В докладе рассматриваются психометрические характеристики русскоязычного варианта вопросника Big Five Inventory (BFI) и его модификации для диагностики установок на черты. Предыдущие исследования показали, что BFI стабильно демонстрирует хороший уровень внутренней согласованности подшкал, конструктной, конвергентной и дивергентной валидности вопрос...
Hogan and Foster's socioanalytic theory has many strengths, in particular in its function as an umbrella approach that takes into account traits, reputations, and other social aspects of personality. Hogan and Foster criticize (self-reported) traits as being elusive neuro-psychic entities, irrelevant for the understanding everyday social life; trai...
To date, sex differences in the Big Five personality traits have been thoroughly studied and well-documented. In the present two studies I examined if individual’s opinions and interpretations of personality traits (reflexive characteristic adaptations, RCA) can eliminate these differences. Three RCA―attitudes toward traits, meta-traits, and meta-a...
The matrix contains the data (N = 1,030) on sex, age, five traits measured with BFI, and 3 x 5 RCA. The data have been used in Study 1.
The research considers attitudes toward personality traits in online social network (OSN) Vkontakte users’ behaviour. Users’ friends’ activity on a given user’s profile was supposed to be affected by attitudes toward traits of the latter. Within a broader context, the role of metacognitive type of characteristic adaptations as a key element of the...
Although investigators traditionally pay attention to the relationship between cognitive
processes and personality, the review of the existing literature uncovers a lack of research on the
links between personality traits and short-term memory, as compared to the ample studies of the
role which the working memory’s central executive (Baddeley, 2003...
Do people judge personality using criteria different from the abstract perspective on a trait presented in conventional questionnaires? And if they do, what does it mean for the relation between personality and diverse life outcomes? With regard to the five-factor theory, these and associated issues are addressed by outlining an examination of a no...
The objective of the study was threefold. First, we examined whether extraversion contributes to the evaluations of an online social network user’s physical attractiveness made by professional recruiters. We studied if this relationship is mediated by a degree of user’s activity and popularity among other users. Second, we presumed this relationshi...
We usually consider personality traits from an abstract, universal standpoint. This standpoint is connected to self and identity. Three alternative standpoints on traits, which one may have on the traits, have been examined as a type of characteristic adaptations termed reflexive.
The study (N = 110) shows that attitudes toward each of the Big Five traits correlated with the evaluations of traditional painting genres. The effect sizes of these correlations were bigger as compared to the effect sizes of the correlations obtained for personality traits. When it comes to unconventional painting genres, it was openness to experi...
In this study (N = 1,030) three personality traits (low agreeableness, low conscientiousness, and high introversion) correlated with sample attrition. Reflexive characteristic adaptations mediated the contribution of the traits.
Abstracts of three reports on reflexive characteristic adaptations within the five-factor theory framework.

The mediating role of attitudes toward personality traits in the relationships between corresponding traits and painting preferences was studied. Attitudes toward traits represent bipolar (positive vs. negative) evaluations of a given trait. In this study, the crucial emphasis was made on openness to experience which, as the extant literature repor...

This paper addresses a problem of attitudes toward personality traits, a bipolar evaluative construct. The attitude toward traits is argued to be a supplementary characteristic of conventional personality traits. In this regard, the second dimension of personality traits emerges wherein each trait is characterized by another, attitudinal level. The...
Agreement and consistency of different personality measures are examined. Acquainted peers rated each other and completed Big Five Inventory and Implicit Association Test for five-factor model of personality traits. Correlation models (N=152) for implicit and explicit extraversion, agreeableness, consciousness, neuroticism and openness to experienc...

The author examined how need for cognition may contribute to the attitudes toward immigrants among Russian students. It was shown that although need for cognition may not correlate with attitude toward immigrants directly it might either interact with other factors or influence several relations of attitudes. Specifically, low need for cognition ma...
The current study continues the series of studies of perception of immigrants by Russians (n = 215).
Cognitive load is shown to interact with stereotypicality of immigrants’ image when they are perceived by Russians. Cognitive load can worsen emotional assessment of counter-stereotypic immigrants without any influence on emotional assessment of ste...
