PERSONALITY CONSISTENCY AND SITUATIONAL CONSTRAINT
Title
PERSONALITY CONSISTENCY AND SITUATIONAL CONSTRAINT.
Creator
DAUER, STEVEN J., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the effect of situational constraint as a moderator of the predictive validity of trait constructs and of the cross-situational consistency of behavior. Subjects were administered the extraversion scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, and their social behavior in a waiting-room situation and in a role-played job interview was observed under conditions of either low (neutral condition) or high (forced-introversion condition) situational...
Show moreAn experiment was conducted to demonstrate the effect of situational constraint as a moderator of the predictive validity of trait constructs and of the cross-situational consistency of behavior. Subjects were administered the extraversion scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, and their social behavior in a waiting-room situation and in a role-played job interview was observed under conditions of either low (neutral condition) or high (forced-introversion condition) situational constraint. The hypothesis that, under high constraint, restriction of range on the dependent variables would attenuate validity and consistency correlations was only partially confirmed. The strongest finding was that judges' ratings of subjects' talkativeness, overall exhibited behavior, and inferred dispositional extraversion yielded significantly higher correlations for the more subjective and broader measures than for the more objective, narrow ones. The utility of these types of data and their place in the consistency-specificity debate are discussed.

Examining the factor structure of the riverside situational Q-SORT
Title
Examining the factor structure of the riverside situational Q-SORT.
Creator
Jones, Ashley Bell, Sherman, Ryne A., Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Psychology
Abstract/Description
Situations are important in relation to behavior and personality (Lewin, 1946, 1951; Ross & Nisbett, 1991; Zimbardo, 2007). However, historical studies of situations have suffered from disagreement about their structure. The Riverside Situational Q-sort (RSQ: Wagerman & Funder, 2009) was developed as a tool to comprehensively measure situation characteristics. Because the RSQ is still relatively new, the factor structure of the RSQ has yet to be examined. Identifying the factor structure of...
Show moreSituations are important in relation to behavior and personality (Lewin, 1946, 1951; Ross & Nisbett, 1991; Zimbardo, 2007). However, historical studies of situations have suffered from disagreement about their structure. The Riverside Situational Q-sort (RSQ: Wagerman & Funder, 2009) was developed as a tool to comprehensively measure situation characteristics. Because the RSQ is still relatively new, the factor structure of the RSQ has yet to be examined. Identifying the factor structure of the RSQ is important in order to provide an interpretation of the dimensions of situations and to make the first step in creating a smaller measure of situation characteristics that takes less time for participants to complete. Using a variety of factor extraction methods, 9 factors appeared consistently: Adversity, Social Negativity, Obligation, Cognitive/Intellectual, Mate Attraction, Sensuous, Positivity, and Competition. This study provides in-depth insight into the characteristics of situations based on a quantitative measure from an adult sample.

self-socialization of gender
Title
The self-socialization of gender.
Creator
Menon, Meenakshi, Florida Atlantic University, Perry, David G.
Abstract/Description
A gender self-socialization model was conceptualized, wherein gender identity and idiographic gender stereotypes conjointly influence children's adoption of gendered behavior (i.e., gender typing). Further, children differ in their beliefs of sex differences as immutable versus fluid (entity vs. incremental theory); and it was hypothesized that entity beliefs would moderate the self-socialization process. Children (N=305, M age 10.8 years) responded to gender identity, gender stereotype, and...
Show moreA gender self-socialization model was conceptualized, wherein gender identity and idiographic gender stereotypes conjointly influence children's adoption of gendered behavior (i.e., gender typing). Further, children differ in their beliefs of sex differences as immutable versus fluid (entity vs. incremental theory); and it was hypothesized that entity beliefs would moderate the self-socialization process. Children (N=305, M age 10.8 years) responded to gender identity, gender stereotype, and self-efficacy measures. Two kinds of gender typing were computed. Personal gender typing was the correlation between personal stereotypes and self-efficacy; consensus gender typing was the correlation between the same-sex peer stereotypes and self-efficacy. Results indicated that gender typicality and gender contentedness were associated with personal gender typing, and felt pressure against other-gender behavior was related to consensus gender typing. Entity theory strengthened the relation between gender identity and gender typing. Results support the self-socialization model.

Assessing Situations On Social Media: Temporal, Demographic, And Personality Influences On Situation Experience.
Creator
Serfass, David G., Sherman, Ryne A., Nowak, Andrzej, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Psychology
Abstract/Description
Social media posts are used to examine what people experience in their everyday lives. A new method is developed for assessing the situational characteristics of social media posts based on the words used in these posts. To accomplish this, machine learning models are built that accurately approximate the judgments of human raters. This new method of situational assessment is applied on two of the most popular social media sites: Twitter and Facebook. Millions of Tweets and Facebook statuses...
Show moreSocial media posts are used to examine what people experience in their everyday lives. A new method is developed for assessing the situational characteristics of social media posts based on the words used in these posts. To accomplish this, machine learning models are built that accurately approximate the judgments of human raters. This new method of situational assessment is applied on two of the most popular social media sites: Twitter and Facebook. Millions of Tweets and Facebook statuses are analyzed. Temporal patterns of situational experiences are found. Geographic and gender differences in experience are examined. Relationships between personality and situation experience were also assessed. Implications of these finding and future applications of this new method of situational assessment are discussed.
