Hi,
I am trying to study the effects of Narcissism, more specifically Vanity (a facet of Grandiose Narcissm) (Foster et al., 2015) on content consumption, interaction, and creation on social media. The idea is to create two groups where one will be exposed to a stimuli relating to Vanity, and another with a control stimuli/one that does not promote Vanity.
I am trying to figure out what treatment method works best here as the subjects will be studied online and if there any important considerations to keep in mind. Looking specifically for literature that has manipulated narcissism through visual (or audiovisual) stimuli.
Thank you

Dear All,
I'm a postgraduate student in psychology, and I recently encountered difficulties with the accuracy of personality measurements.
Among the five domains of the Big Five personality measurement, which domains are more accurate in self-reporting and which domains are more accurate in others' reporting? Is there any relevant newer literature?
I look forward to getting some help. Thank you!
Relevant answer
Answer
Personality measurement is an attempt to estimate human unique characteristics from an outsider perspective using often some valid and reliable measures. The accuracy of such measures is usually a matter of degree, never absolute or 100%.
However, the main guide to the degree of accuracy is a factor of the validity and reliability of the psychological (Personality) tests used. Usually, the use of triangulation in Personality assessment is recommended. By this is meant the need to measure personality from different perspectives/ test protocol. This is a good way to ensure high level of accuracy especially if all the tests point to the same direction.

Hi all! I’m conducting a study where we test to see if our personalities affect how we each perform on certain tasks and react. This study involves an anagram task, and then will give you feedback on your performance. You will be asked to give your opinions on this feedback you received. And finally, you will be asked to fill out a short series of questionnaires! This will only take 20 minutes max to complete
The Ethics Committee has approved this study of Sheffield Hallam University. Please note: you need to be 18 or over to take part. I am in need of at least 180 participants please and thank you

I have a long survey that includes the BFI-2-S along with other preference related questions, I want to incorporate a questionnaire about MBTI as well. However, the survey is too long and I need a very short or abbreviated form for MBTI; maybe like a 3 to 4 questions per domain (mind, energy, nature, tactics). Is there something already tested or is it okay to make up single-choice questions about each of MBTI four domains' traits? I prefer if there is a 5-point scale abbreviated inventory.
Relevant answer
Answer
My first question concerns why you would want to use MBTI in the first place. What will a few questions about the MBTI "dimensions" add to your research?
My understanding is that the MBTI is more lore than science in that many of the assertions about the MBTI do not hold up to rigorous analyses.
If I am wrong about the research about the MBTI, perhaps someone can provide clarification.

Since Cattell's work on so called T-data (personality data collected by objective tests) this approach to measuring personality has been almost completely abandoned. Nevertheless, the data obtained by fully objective measures can serve as important basis in research of personality structure, which is not underlying the biases of prevalent self-report or other-report measures.

Many: In fact, the history of Statistics has been closely linked to that of Psychology in order to meet the needs of Psychometry ... in such a framework, and without being exhaustive, we could cite -among many others-: Francis Galton - Psychologist "avant la lettre", considered the father of Differential Psychology and the first Intelligence Tests, K. Pearson, William Gosset (Student), R. Fisher and E. Pearson (son of K. Pearson); The latter worked in collaboration with the Polish mathematician Jerzy Neyman, the first Pearson, in addition to producing the formula for calculating the correlation, is the creator of the "chi" or "Chi square" test. Gosset created the T-test in its original form, Fisher further developed such a test by baptizing it as “the Student's T”, because the terms of the employment contract between Gosset and the Guinness brewery in Dublin could only sign with his real name the documents prepared for She thus used the pseudonym "Student" to sign her articles on statistics. In addition to developing the famous Student's T, Fisher created the analysis of variance, which was later christened the F test, in her honor; Charles Spearman, a psychologist who made important contributions to psychology and statistics, developing Factor Analysis and the Correlation that bears his name; Louis Leon Thurstone; Amun; Yela and many others.

Hi, I'm trying to divide my participants into 2 groups based on being "extrovert" or " introvert". In the manual I see no guidelines on how to classify a person as extrovert or introvert.
I looked up the information on some non-authentic sources, and they instruct that there are 24 ,24 and 9 for extrovert, neurotic and lie score. The more point you have the more extrovert, neurotic you are.
That being said, I have 2 questions:
what would you rate a participant 's personality if they score 12/24 in Extrovert scale, is the person an I or an E ?
A person with larger than 5 score in lie scale will be as trustworthy as someone who score below 5 ? or should they be eliminated from the respondent list ?

Do you have the complete "specimen bag" of said Test ?; At least, as it is marketed in Spain by the TEA (Associated Technical Specialists -AST in English-) house, this entails, as with all tests, its pertinent correction template, by virtue of which, it is corrected by adding in each subscale a point in each item marked on the Answer Sheet, according to said Template; although it can also be corrected by computer, with the "ad hoc" keys / program. The Manual, as is always the case and in all Psychometric Tests, does not indicate the scores obtained, etc. For this, there are the indicated templates or the program for the computer.

Some recent research has established this difference is it useful to be aware of this, in the study and treatment of patients?
Relevant answer
Answer
In our conceptual model of alexithymia we introduced in 2017 (the attention-appraisal model of alexithymia) we used a cognitive-framework to discuss how people's overall level of alexithymia likely reflects two main sources of variance: ability deficit alexithymia (i.e., the developmental level of the emotion schemas, or cognitive structures, that people use to process their emotions) and avoidance alexithymia (i.e., the extent to which people are avoiding focusing on their emotions as an emotion regulation strategy). Both these can exist in combination, and there is growing evidence from experimental and correlational studies supporting the role of both ability deficits and avoidant defences in alexithymic presentations. From this perspective, in some cases of high alexithymia it may be mostly ability deficits, in others mostly avoidant defences, and in others a more even combination. We think this conceptualisation helps to explain study findings showing that alexithymia levels can often increase or fluctuate during periods of distress or mental health symptoms (i.e., increased avoidance alexithymia to try to cope with negative affect), whilst still showing an underlying level of relative stability (i.e., reflecting the underlying developmental level of one's emotion schemas).
Conceptually, we think ability deficits and avoidant defences in high alexithymia might both be targeted by interventions that guide patients in focusing on the most pertinent aspects of an emotional response, and linking the cognitive experiences, behaviours, physiological responses, triggering events, and labels associated with that emotion. The aim being to develop a patient's emotion schemas and reduce experiential avoidance of emotions. There is some recent evidence, for example, that mindfulness activities could be quite helpful in reducing alexithymia levels (e.g., Edwards, Shivaji, & Wupperman, 2018), and therapy approaches which specifically target emotional awareness and regulation skills may be quite relevant in this respect (e.g., Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders).
It might be that, in cases where high alexithymia is due primarily to ingrained or longstanding deficits in the developmental level of people's emotion schemas, that addressing this might be more difficult or require longer time periods (as compared to cases where emotion schemas are well developed, and the emotion processing difficulties are due primarily to high usage of avoidant emotion regulation strategies). However, I think this is certainly an area where we need more research, looking at how different profiles of alexithymia may respond to different types of targeted treatment approaches.
We discuss these issues in some more detail in this paper:

I am proposing a research study where I am measuring peoples personality (using BFI) across 9 years, as well as the life events they have experienced and their perceived stress. I want to see whether stress moderates the effects of life events on personality change across the time span. However, my participants will be split into 3 groups depending on their age; 18-30, 31-50, 51+
For my intended analysis I have suggested doing a moderation regression using PROCESS by Andrew Hayes. However, I'm not sure whether I can do that if I have 3 groups. Do I also need to do a 3-way ANOVA?
Super confused and not sure if I'm even right with the type of analysis.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Amber. I have two suggestions.
  1. Do not carve age into categories. Doing so will introduce an artificial step function such that everyone within an age group will have the same fitted value of Y. E.g., an 18-year old and a 30-year old will have the same fitted value, whereas a 31-year old will have a different fitted value. Why not treat age as continuous? You can introduce polynomial terms or splines etc. if necessary.
  2. Given the longitudinal nature of the data, I suggest that you use a multilevel modelling approach with time points (at level 1) clustered within subjects (level 2). You have not said what software you use, but if it is SPSS, the command for such models is MIXED. You can find plenty of examples on the IDRE website at UCLA. Look for the textbook examples page for Singer & Willett's book on longitudinal data analysis, for example.

Relevant answer
Answer
The NEO-FFI and NEO-PI are proprietary instruments, under copyright and offered for sale by the publisher ( https://www.parinc.com/Products/Pkey/274 ). You can't just post copies online. Here are your options:
1. Purchase copies from the publisher. You can administer the test on a computer (rather than paper-and-pencil) for a few dollars each, but I think you need to buy the Manual first. You might check with a professor to see if your department has the Manual and would be willing to use their authorization to buy copies.
2. Use a different test, one that is in the public domain or has been made available by its authors. The International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) may be helpful. I am not totally happy with their items, but the scores seem to correlate well with those from other five-factor inventories.

Hello. First of all I want to thank you in advance for you responses. I'm a rookie researcher and I'm having trouble reporting the results of a Logistic Regression I ran. I'm doing a research in the psychology field that is exploring the relationship between Temperament traits (i.e. the part of Personality that is ruled by biology and neurotransmission) and Drug Consumption in intelecutally gifted adolescents. Temperament traits are my independet continuous predictor variables, which are represented in a score calculated through the tabulation of a shortened version of Robert Cloninger's TCI-R. Drug Consumption is my dichotomous (Yes or No) dependent variable.
My Hypothesis was that "The Temperament traits that are significantly related with Drug Consumption are the same between gifted adolescents and the reported from heterogeneous population of adolescents". Running the Logistic Regression I get a confirmation of my Hypothesis: The Temperament trait denominated "Novelty Seeking" has a statiscally significant relationship with consuming various drugs in various sets of time (once in my life, in the last year, in the last month, and in the last week). I observe the effect of the different traits by observing the P values of each trait in relationship with each of the drugs and each of the time sets.
Now my query. I'm not sure how to correctly report this results, I found little (none) information and researchs on my field that uses Logistic Regression this way (not for prediction, but to observe relationships between variables). Do I have to report just the P values? Do I have to conduct another type of analysis?
I'd be very grateful If you could guide me a bit. I used the JASP software for the analysis.
Thank you all!

Hi,you have to analyse the ODDS Ratio as the coefficients alone are not analysed. These are generally interpreted according to the reference modality. The reference is 1. If the OR is one the variable has no effect on the analysed phenomena. OR <1, the variable reduces the analyzed phenomena. IF OR>1,the variable increases the phenomena analyzed.

how can I tell if the results are either positive or negative? I understand you get two scores, one from the PA and the other from NA but if I'm only interested in the NA, how can i tell from the score on NA that it is infact negative?
Relevant answer
Answer
No special reason why not; you're deriving a kind of "affect balance" measure. Perfectly okay. But there is a reason for the separate scales: the amount of positive affect we experience is only weakly (albeit negatively) correlated with the amount of negative affect we experience. Some people feel lots of happy, little sad; some the reverse; some lots of both; some little of either. By performing the subtraction procedure, you lose that information. You'll also have a kind of hidden variable, namely, the overall degree of emotional experiencing. So, for example, a person with a score of 20 for PA and 17 for NA will get the same score as someone with scores of 4 and 1, which somehow doesn't seem quite right. At least the issue should be discussed in your paper.

Answer
Dear Sumiran,
You should use all the data as scale variables. I assume you are referring to allocating them to nominal groups for each of the five personality traits. You should never prematurely reduce the quality of your data like this as it will reduce the quality of your analysis.
The first step in a regression model is descriptive statistics. I would recommend creating a scatter plot of your DV against each of your IVs in turn. This will enable you to assess the assumptions of linear regression.
There are lots of other things to consider in multiple linear regression but that's how I'd advise starting.

I guess I am posting this because I need other people's opinion about my thesis idea. Maybe a validation perhaps?
I will get straight to the point. Below are my Research questions and purpose.
My RQ is: “How Do High and Low Agreeable Individuals Deal with Anger?”
(I want to explore and compare the experiences of Anger from the stand point of highly Agreeable and Disagreeable individuals themselves.)
Sub-Questions:
a. What triggers high and low A individuals to be angry?  (what provokes-triggers)
b. How do high and low A individuals react to angry situations?  
c. How does Anger impact their lives?
*Agreeableness (A) is part of a personality trait that measure friendliness, cooperation, harmony, sympathy, tender-heartedness (opposite pole of A are people who are usually being blunt, cynic, etc.) --> assuming that those high A people do not express Anger, I want to know the how's and why's in the process of 'feeling anger' to 'dealing with it' to 'the impact it has on their lives'.
Why the comparison with low A? For richer comprehension on Agreeableness.
Why qualitative? Not only that people focused more on the quantitative methods to understand traits and Anger, I feel like we can understand more 'Emotions' with a qualitative one. And this study is not meant to generalize but to focus on those who are highly agreeable (what goes through their heads, how are they feeling, the reasons for such reactions to anger, etc.) Things that might not be too obvious to 'others', I'd like to reach in (I'll be using a phenomenological design by the way).
Purpose: There really is no particular 'problem' that I am addressing (e.g. lived experiences of transgenders-to spread awareness or how children cope with child labor..etc.) but more like an approach to understand more that we weren't able to tackle in the field.
This research may not have direct applications to the real world but can be very informative in developing Anger management intervention approaches perhaps. My purpose here is really to know/understand/explore beyond what we currently know about "Anger and Agreeableness", I don't have any practical problems to solve.
Aside from my main question, please feel free to comment on the things I wrote (if there are any). 
Thank you!
Relevant answer
How people deal with anger is, in my opinion, an important component of interpersonal competence, a trait central to supervisory/managerial jobs.
Apparently, there are instruments to explore "agreeableness". Very likely, highly agreeable people manage anger in healthier, more successful ways and this competence is an ingredient of their agreeableness. If this were the case, agreeableness would be a predictor of "successful" anger management, in turn, a predictor of  good supervisory/ managerial performance in the area of interpersonal competence. 
Seen in this light, your thesis is relevant to job selection and placement.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Sonja,
I’ll try to answer your somewhat mystical question. Do you mean that you don’t want to come up with a ‘negative’ diagnoses in a way that your patients feel less worthy?
In this case suggest you can better avoid to use MMPI, which compares traits and states from a ‘better/worse’ perspective. At least in my opinion.
If you’re using the test for official reports, you can consider to use a test (like neo-pi(-r)) which differentiate between the 5 types of personality as used in the BIG Five model of personality (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience).
If it’s more informal you can try a type indicator like the Myers Briggs type indicator. This indicates 4 dichotomies of personality (extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling and judging/perception). Many people like this indication because it’s not judgemental but may help to overcome social dilemma’s in for example working environments.

Hi, I'm trying to score my participants score into their BigFive Personality but have not got the scoring sheet. Does anyone have it or know where can I get that?
Relevant answer
Answer
If you are using the hand-scored version of the NEO-PI-R, it is basically self-scoring. You peel back the top sheet to reveal the carbon copy beneath, which displays the points to be added for each response. Adding across the rows gives you the facet raw scores (e.g., N1, N2). Combining all facet scores with the same initial letter (e.g., N1 + N2 + ... + N6) yields the trait raw scores.
The profile sheets (sold with the kit) enable you to plot the raw scores onto T-Scores. (The T scale is shown to the left & right of the profile.)
If you are using the short form (NEO-FFI) it's basically the same, except that there are no facet scores.
If you are using a "bootleg" copy, then you may be out of luck. You could consult the Manual to see which items are scored on which factor  and create your own scoring instructions. But please be aware that you will be in violation of copyright laws, and your university's IRB will not be happy about that.

Here's a study using the CPI: Chronic trauma effects on personality traits in police officers.
By Leigh Wills, Jennifer; Schuldberg, David
Journal of Traumatic Stress, Mar 8 , 2016, No Pagination Specified.
The impact of cumulative occupational exposure to traumatic events (TEs), posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and work environment stress on personality traits over time was examined in 38 police officers from an urban agency. California Psychological Inventory (CPI) personality trait scores from prehire evaluations were compared with follow‐up CPI scores to test whether exposure to traumatic events was correlated with changes in traits from baseline to 5–10 years later. Measures of occupational TEs, PTS symptoms, and police work environment stress were administered. Mean trait scores declined on all CPI traits analyzed in the study. Trait change was evaluated using the Reliable Change Index; change in participants’ scores unlikely to occur by chance ranged from 11% to 63% in the traits examined. All participants reported substantial TE exposure. PTS symptoms were correlated with steeper decline in 4 of 5 traits, with effect sizes ranging from r = −.47 to r = −.67. Scores on measures of job‐related TEs were negatively correlated with only one CPI trait (empathy) at T2 (r = −.31), and were unrelated to slope of trait change. Work environment stress was significantly related to gender, with female officers reporting higher levels of operational (r = .45) and organizational (r = .54) stress.

Hi all. I am doing a project on bullying and looking into guilt as a factor. I am looking for a scale to measure guilt. I have found one (TOSCA-3) but it's quite lengthy. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
I think much hinges on what sort of guilt you're thinking of. For example, you could be hypothesizing that anticipatory guilt (i.e., "I'll feel terrible if I hurt someone") would act to inhibit bullying. Or that some people who are plagued with guilt might engage in bullying as a way of venting their negative affect/inflicting pain on others to compensate for the pain they feel. (Actually, in that case I'd lean more toward shame than guilt as a factor.) Or that some victims of bullying feel guilty over having been "punked out," so to speak. And these are such different constructs that your choice of guilt scale would be different in each case. 
That said, I agree that the GASP is one possibility. I'd advise administering the whole thing (it's only 16 items, and you can't be sure the shame ones won't turn out to be relevant). Here is another: The Brief Shame and Guilt Questionnaire for Children (just 12 items!).

Question

I am conducting a study that involves measuring various personal characteristics that can influence the way people respond to apologies -- one of which is, naturally, dispositional (or trait level) forgiveness. Various scales/ questionnaires exist to measure dispositional forgiveness, such as the Tendency to Forgive Scale and the Heartland Forgiveness Scale, but I am wondering if anyone has experience with such instruments and can recommend a preferred scales. The fewer items in the scale the better. Thanks! JS

Answer
I am a big advocate of the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Thompson, Snyder et. al.) and its 3 subscales. I not only use it routinely in my clinical work to track change in forgiveness but it is also in my 2010 book the Forgiveness Solution and available on-line (automatically scored there). I also like the State Self-Forgiveness Scale by Wohl, DeShea and Wahkinney (2008) which I also use clinically. if you google the scenario based Willingness to Forgive Scale by DeShea you will see she no longer recommends using her own scale.

Overview
The Test
The NEO PI-R is a measure of the five major domains of personality as well as the six facets that define each domain. Taken together, the five domain scales and thirty facet scales of the NEO PI-R facilitate a comprehensive and detailed assessment of normal adult personality. The NEO PI-R is recognized internationally as a gold standard for personality assessment. Today, reputable developers of personality tests for the occupational market will as a matter of course publish data on the relationship of their tests with the five factor model using one form or another of the NEO as the benchmark. The total amount of recent data from high level academic journals concerning the NEO PI-R underpins its quality.
