the happy personality a meta analysis of 137 personality traits and subjective well being
Psychological Bulletin, 1998Co-Authors: Kristina M Deneve, Harris CooperAbstract:This meta-analysis used 9 literature search strategies to examine 137 distinct personality constructs as correlates of subjective well-being (SWB). Personality was found to be equally predictive of life satisfaction, happiness, and Positive affect, but significantly less predictive of negative affect. The traits most closely associated with SWB were repressive-defensiveness, trust, emotional stability, locus of control-chance, desire for control, hardiness, Positive Affectivity, private collective self-esteem, and tension. When personality traits were grouped according to the Big Five factors, Neuroticism was the strongest predictor of life satisfaction, happiness, and negative affect. Positive affect was predicted equally well by Extraversion and Agreeableness. The relative importance of personality for predicting SWB, how personality might influence SWB, and limitations of the present review are discussed.

relations between obsessive compulsive disorder and personality beyond axis i axis ii comorbidity
Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 2006Co-Authors: Lee Anna Clark, David WatsonAbstract:Most research on relations between Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and personality addresses only comorbidity rates between OCD and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). We first investigated empirical OCD-OCPD relations, but then also examined patterns of dimensional traits in OCD patients versus students and general outpatients. Results did not support a specific OCD-OCPD relation and the implications of this conclusion are discussed. Regarding traits, OCD patients shared with other patients elevated negative Affectivity and lower Positive Affectivity. Differences on several lower order dimensions, including lower scores on manipulativeness, mistrust, and disinhibition distinguished the personality profile of OCD patients from others. Also noteworthy was a pattern of very low self-image for OCD patients, as suggested by the combination of low self-esteem and low entitlement scores. Overall, OCD patients showed a more specific pattern of personality pathology than did general outpatients, who were elevated more generally across personality disorders and negative Affectivity scales.

global self esteem in relation to structural models of personality and Affectivity
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: David Watson, Jerry Suls, Jeffrey HaigAbstract:Three studies examined global self-esteem in relation to structural models of personality and Affectivity. In every study, self-esteem was strongly negatively correlated with Neuroticism/Negative Affectivity and moderately to strongly related to Extraversion/Positive Affectivity. Additional findings, however, revealed that self-esteem is better viewed at the lower order level. For instance, global self-esteem correlated -.79 with the Depression facet of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (P. T. Costa, Jr., & R. R. McCrae, 1992) in Study 3. Moreover, confirmatory factor analyses produced very strong correlations between self-esteem and depression in both Study 2 (r = -.82) and Study 3 (r = -.86). Taken together, the data suggest that global self-esteem measures define one end of a bipolar continuum, with trait indicators of depression defining the other.

general traits of personality and Affectivity as predictors of satisfaction in intimate relationships evidence from self and partner ratings
Journal of Personality, 2000Co-Authors: David Watson, Brock Hubbard, David WieseAbstract:Self- and partner-ratings on trait affect and the Big Five were obtained from 74 married and 136 dating couples. The relationship satisfaction of each person (the ‘target’) was correlated with four sets of ratings: (a) target’s self-rated personality, (b) target’s partner-rated personality, (c) partner’s self-rated personality, and (d) partner’s target-rated personality. Self- and partner-ratings of the target’s personality yielded very similar results. Negative and Positive Affectivity were consistent predictors of satisfaction in both samples. Conscientiousness and agreeableness were reliably related to satisfaction in the dating couples, whereas extraversion consistently correlated with satisfaction in the married couples. These traits jointly predicted as much as 34% (self-ratings) and 26% (partner-ratings) of the variance in satisfaction. In contrast, the partner’s personality played a lesser role in satisfaction.

temperament personality and the mood and anxiety disorders
Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1994Co-Authors: Lee Anna Clark, David Watson, Susan MinekaAbstract:Literature on temperament, personality, and mood and anxiety disorders is reviewed. The review is organized primarily around L. A. Clark and D. Watson's (1991b) tripartite model for these disorders, but other influential approaches are also examined. Negative Affectivity (or neuroticism) appears to be a vulnerability factor for the development of anxiety and depression, indicates poor prognosis, and is itself affected by the experience of disorder. Positive Affectivity (or extraversion) is related more specifically to depression, may be a risk factor for its development, suggests poor prognosis, and also may be affected by the experience of disorder. Other personality dimensions (e.g., anxiety sensitivity, attributional style, sociotropy or dependence, autonomy or self-criticism, and constraint) may constitute specific vulnerability factors for particular disorders. More longitudinal and measurement-based research that jointly examines anxiety and depression is needed.

do personal resources mediate the effect of perceived organizational support on emotional exhaustion and job outcomes
International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, 2015Co-Authors: Osman M KaratepeAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine personal resources as a mediator of the effect of perceived organizational support on emotional exhaustion, extra-role customer service and turnover intentions. Design/methodology/approach – Using data collected from frontline hotel employees with a one-month time lag in Cameroon, the relationships were assessed via structural equation modeling. Positive Affectivity, intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy were treated as the indicators of personal resources. Findings – The results suggest that Positive Affectivity, intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy are significant indicators representing personal resources. As hypothesized, personal resources fully mediate the effect of perceived organizational support on emotional exhaustion, extra-role customer service and turnover intentions. Specifically, frontline employees who receive sufficient support from the organization are high in Positive Affectivity, intrinsically motivated and self-efficacious at elevat...

Affectivity and organizational politics as antecedents of burnout among frontline hotel employees
International Journal of Hospitality Management, 2012Co-Authors: Osman M Karatepe, Emin Babakus, Ugur YavasAbstract:Abstract This study investigates perceptions of organizational politics as a mediator of the effects of negative Affectivity and Positive Affectivity on burnout. Based on data obtained from frontline hotel employees in Turkey, results reveal that the impacts of negative Affectivity on exhaustion and disengagement, through perceptions of organizational politics, are stronger than Positive Affectivity.

Affectivity conflicts in the work family interface and hotel employee outcomes
International Journal of Hospitality Management, 2008Co-Authors: Osman M Karatepe, Orhan UludagAbstract:Abstract Based on data obtained from frontline hotel employees in Turkey, the current study examined the effects of negative Affectivity (NA) and Positive Affectivity (PA) on work–family conflict and family–work conflict and the effects of both directions of conflict on marital satisfaction and turnover intentions. This study also tested the relationship of marital satisfaction with frontline employees’ turnover intentions. The results demonstrated that PA ameliorates both work–family conflict and family–work conflict, while NA exacerbates only work–family conflict. The findings of the study indicated that family–work conflict has a detrimental impact on marital satisfaction. However, this study provided no empirical support for the relationship between work–family conflict and marital satisfaction. Consistent with the study predictions, frontline employees’ perceptions of work–family conflict and family–work conflict increased their turnover intentions. There was also empirical support for the hypothesis that marital satisfaction has a significant negative impact on frontline employees’ turnover intentions. Implications of the empirical results and limitations of the study are discussed.

pain and pain related fear are associated with functional and social disability in an occupational setting evidence of mediation by pain related fear
European Journal of Pain, 2006Co-Authors: Els L M Gheldof, Jan Vinck, Eva Van Den Bussche, Johan W S Vlaeyen, A Hidding, Geert CrombezAbstract:This study examined the role of work-related, psychosocial and psychological factors in predicting functional and social disability in working employees. In a cross-sectional design, 890 working employees (reporting at least 1 day of back pain during the past year) completed self-report measures of back pain, disability, pain-related fear, negative and Positive Affectivity, job satisfaction, job stress and physical work load. Regression analyses revealed that pain intensity was a strong predictor of functional (beta = .69, p < .001) and social disability (beta = .67, p < .001). Fear of (re)injury due to movement (beta = .25, p < .001; beta = .28, p < .001) had additional predictive value in both models. Further, (singular) mediation tests indicated that fear for (re)injury partially mediated the relation between pain intensity and disability, and between negative Affectivity and disability. Finally, path analyses revealed both fear and pain intensity as mediators between negative Affectivity and disability. Overall, our findings point at the relevance of the cognitive-behavioral model of avoidance in occupational settings.
