Problem 3: Personality and performance

Question 1

bandwidth fidelity discussion + GFP

Answer 1

-broad vs narrow, what to use depends on what you want to measure
-GFP: general factor of personality, high = socially desirable

Question 2

article by lee: workplace delinquency
- aim
-method

Answer 2

• is HEXACO of the big 5 better at predicting workplace delinquency (HYP: hexaco > big 5)
• method: measuring HEXACO, FFM (3 diff measures), workplace delinquency self report and overt integrity test

Question 3

article by lee: workplace delinquency
-results
-limitations

Answer 3

• results: HEXACO was better than big 5 in predicting JP & workplace delinquency (honesty-humility had most predictive power)
• limitations: self report measures, only students, didn’t consider broad vs narrow –> other measure might be better

Question 4

article 3 (Van der linden), Study 1:
-aim
-method
-results
-limitations

Answer 4

-aim: do GFP scores correlate with interviewer ratings
-method: military personnel job interviews, measures: NEO-PI-R, military selection thingy and interviewer ratings
-results: higher GFP, more favourable interview outcomes
-limitations: self-enhancement bias = want to appear more socially desirable during interview

Question 5

article 3 (van der linden), study 2:
-aim
-method
-results

Answer 5

-aim: GFP in relation to typical (non-socially desirable) behaviour, high GFP should correlate with integrity scores
-method: military going through training, measures: hexaco, dark triad, trait positive/negative affectivity, integrity ratings
-results: correlations with GFP were found, all GFPs correlated with integrity ratings

Question 6

occupational niches and dark triad article:
-aim
-hypotheses (?)

Answer 6

• investigating how the different dark triad characters relate to different occupation niches (RIASEC) + Is there a sex difference
• men would prefer realistic jobs, women artistic and social jobs

Question 7

RIASEC

Answer 7

realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, conventional

Question 8

occupational niches and dark triad: study 1
-aim
-method
-results
-limitations

Answer 8

-aim: what types of job appeal to which dark triad and sex differences?
-method: measures dark triad, vocational interests
-results:
– men > women on all dark triad traits + realistic job type interests
–narcissism –> + with artistic, enterprising & social jobs (HYP 1 confirmed)
– machiavellianism –> - social job, not associated with enterprising (half confirming HYP 2)
–psychopathy –> + realistic hypothesis (HYP 3 confirmed)
– sex diff confirmed
-limitations: only one measure of dark triad and vocational interests

Question 9

occupational niches and dark triad: study 2
- aim
- method
- results
- limitations

Answer 9

-aim: same study but more measures of dark triad & different sample
-method: more balanced sample gender wise, voc interests is just caring, practical and cultured
-results:
–study 1 mostly replicated, psychopathy associated with hands-on practical interests (in line with hypotheses)
-limitations:
–self-report measure
–small correlations
–focussed on person rather than situation
–
