Psychopathic Personality Traits and the Successful Criminal.
International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, 2018Co-Authors: Cashen M. Boccio, Kevin M. BeaverAbstract:A significant body of literature links psychopathy and psychopathic Personality Traits with criminal behavior and involvement with the criminal justice system. However, very little research has examined whether psychopathic Personality Traits are related to being a successful criminal (e.g., evading detection). This study addresses this gap in the literature by examining whether psychopathic Personality Traits are associated with the likelihood of being processed by the criminal justice system (i.e., arrest). Our findings reveal that psychopathic Personality Traits are generally not associated with criminal success. Specifically, individuals with high levels of psychopathic Personality Traits commit more crimes and report more arrests, but they do not seem to have an advantage when it comes to avoiding arrest for the crimes they commit. We discuss the implications of these findings for the psychopathy literature.

Psychopathic Personality Traits, intelligence, and economic success
Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Cashen M. Boccio, Kevin M. BeaverAbstract:A wealth of research has revealed that psychopathy and psychopathic Personality Traits are associated with criminal involvement. Comparatively less research, however, has examined whether psychopathic Personality Traits influence economic outcomes in adulthood. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by analyzing data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. The results of the analyses indicate that psychopathic Personality Traits are negatively related to a number of economic outcomes, including household income and employment history measures. Individuals with high levels of psychopathic Personality Traits were found to have lower household incomes and to be fired more frequently than individuals with lower levels of psychopathic Personality Traits. Unexpectedly, psychopathic Personality Traits were also found to be negatively associated with household debt. There was also some evidence that the effect of psychopathic Personality Traits was moderated by intelligenc...

Personality Traits and participation in political processes
The Journal of Politics, 2011Co-Authors: Alan S. Gerber, Gregory A. Huber, Conor M. Dowling, David Doherty, Connor RasoAbstract:Using data from two recent surveys, we analyze the relationship between Big Five Personality Traits and political participation. We examine forms of participation that differ in domain (local politics vs. national campaigns) as well as in the amount of conflict involved, whether they are likely to yield instrumental benefits, and whether they are likely to be viewed as a duty—characteristics that may affect the relationships between dispositional Personality Traits and political activity. We find relationships between Personality Traits and: (1) both self-reported and actual turnout (measured using administrative records), (2) overreporting of turnout, and (3) a variety of other modes of participation. The effect of Personality on political participation is often comparable to the effects of factors that are central in earlier models of turnout, such as education and income. Consistent with our theoretical expectations, these relationships vary depending on Personality-relevant characteristics of each par...

Personality Traits and the Dimensions of Political Ideology
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009Co-Authors: Alan S. Gerber, Gregory A. Huber, Shang E. Ha, Conor M. Dowling, David DohertyAbstract:We use three large N nationally representative surveys to investigate the relationships between the Five Factor Model Personality Traits and political ideology. Prior examinations of the relationships between Personality Traits and political ideology have yielded mixed results. Numerous studies have shown that ideology is associated with the Personality Traits Openness and Conscientiousness, but the relationships between the other three Personality Traits (Agreeableness, Extraversion, and Emotional Stability) and ideology are weak and inconsistent across samples. We find that the failure to link these Traits to political ideology is an artifact of the coarse measurement of political ideology used in prior work. Once ideology is decomposed into social and economic dimensions there is a strong association between economic attitudes and Agreeableness and Emotional Stability. Our finding that four of the five Personality domains are strongly linked to political ideology implies that the role of Personality in political attitudes may be substantially stronger and more general than suggested by previous research.

multimodal recognition of Personality Traits in social interactions
International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces, 2008Co-Authors: Fabio Pianesi, Nadia Mana, Alessandro Cappelletti, Bruno Lepri, Massimo ZancanaroAbstract:This paper targets the automatic detection of Personality Traits in a meeting environment by means of audio and visual features; information about the relational context is captured by means of acoustic features designed to that purpose. Two Personality Traits are considered: Extraversion (from the Big Five) and the Locus of Control. The classification task is applied to thin slices of behaviour, in the form of 1-minute sequences. SVM were used to test the performances of several training and testing instance setups, including a restricted set of audio features obtained through feature selection. The outcomes improve considerably over existing results, provide evidence about the feasibility of the multimodal analysis of Personality, the role of social context, and pave the way to further studies addressing different features setups and/or targeting different Personality Traits.

Personality Traits and knowledge sharing behavior of software engineers
2017 8th International Conference on Information Technology (ICIT), 2017Co-Authors: Mobashar Rehman, Sohail Safdar, Ahmad Kamil Mahmood, Aamir Amin, Rohani SallehAbstract:Unfortunately, the work so far has focused on the technical aspects of Software Engineering rather than non-technical aspects. This has led to the conclusion that Software Engineering is still an immature profession in terms of research. There is still room to do more research in this profession. Besides, this field has also become broad in nature and covers many aspects which are from other domains like Personality and knowledge sharing behavior (behavioral outcome). Personality and knowledge sharing behavior are very important components for Software Engineering and that is why recently there is an increase in research papers on these aspects of Software Engineers. This paper also analyzed the Personality Traits of Software Engineers and the relationship between Personality Traits and knowledge sharing behavior. Big Five Personality Traits were used to analyze the Personality of Software Engineers. Questionnaire method was used to collect response from Malaysian Software Engineers. Results indicated that Software Engineers scored high on extraversion and conscientiousness Personality Traits whereas they were moderate on openness to experience and agreeableness. Results also indicated positive relationship with knowledge sharing behavior between all Personality Traits except neuroticism which showed negative relationship.
