Traditional trait-based leadership research relies on generic personality models, overlooking the context-specific nature of personality. We used the lexical approach to develop a leadership-focused personality taxonomy. We identified 199 adjectives for describing leaders (Study 1) and factor analyzed leaders’ (Study 2, N = 402) and followers’ (Study 3, N = 421) ratings of these adjectives. Analyses revealed five dimensions shared across groups, closely related to, yet distinct from the Big Five and HEXACO factors: Energy, Psychopathy, Organization, Irritability, and Intellect. Two follower-specific dimensions—Supportiveness and Weakness—also emerged. Relationships with the Big Five, HEXACO, and leadership criteria supported construct and concurrent validity. Study 4 replicated the structure in samples of military (N = 226) and religious (N = 202) leaders.

Content nonresponsivity (CNR), such as acquiescence bias and careless responding, poses a significant threat to the validity of psychometric assessments by distorting item-level relationships. This study examines the impact of sample level CNR on both confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and psychometric network analysis (PNA) model statistics across 45 countries. Results indicate that higher levels of sample level CNR were associated with worse model fit and denser, less centralized Big Five personality networks; however, results varied across CNR indices. These findings emphasize the need for researchers to assess and report CNR levels when drawing inferences about differences in model fit or centrality statistics.

Desire intolerance, the inability to withstand the cognitive, motivational, and affective components of desire, has been linked to engagement in impulsive behaviors. This study explored how individual differences in desire intolerance related to affect and emotion-related impulsivity in daily life. Participants (N = 197) completed one week of ecological momentary assessment to track affect, willpower self-efficacy, rash action and inaction urges, and rash action and inaction behaviors. Results showed that individuals higher in desire intolerance reported more rash action and inaction urges and rash behaviors when negative affect was higher than usual. These findings suggest that desire intolerance could be an indicator of the propensity to engage in rash action and inaction as affect fluctuates.

Although personality encompasses thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we know comparatively little about the personality-thought interface. The present investigation (3 studies, total N = 486) used a novel laboratory paradigm to assess spontaneous thinking that was not off-task. The personality trait of agreeableness has been characterized in terms of pro-relationship motivation, which, it was hypothesized, would be evident in the content of spontaneous thoughts. Across the 3 studies, higher levels of agreeableness were linked to thinking about relationships more frequently and this association was both robust and discriminant with respect to other thought categories and state affect. Findings are discussed with respect to the motivational substrates of spontaneous thinking and their likely role in linking agreeableness to pro-relationship functioning.

Previous research has shown that grandiose narcissism, particularly its agentic facet, is positively associated with testosterone in men. In two studies (N1 = 186; N2 = 269) we investigated potential hormonal underpinnings of narcissism in women. We examined the associations between facets of narcissism, estradiol levels measured from blood samples, self-reported estradiol, and self-perceived attractiveness. We failed to find a significant association between agentic narcissism and objectively measured estradiol. However, women with higher grandiose narcissism perceived themselves as having elevated estradiol levels and reported feeling more attractive. In women, the effects of estradiol on personality-related behaviors may be context-dependent and temporally variable. Moreover, since estradiol fluctuates across the menstrual cycle, potential associations with state narcissism may be more evident around the fertile (ovulatory) phase.

Five preregistered studies (N = 3,789), examined how individual differences in humility and commitment regarding one’s existential beliefs (i.e., existential humility) were associated with different tradeoffs, including defensiveness and well-being. Using latent profile analyses, Study 1 (n = 807) revealed that existential humility is associated with less defensiveness but also lower well-being. Study 2 (n = 617) found evidence for lower defensiveness and greater empathy and prosociality among the existentially humble. Study 3 (n = 787) and Study 4 (n = 791) found that existentially humble participants reported lower well-being and had mixed defensive responses. Study 5 (n = 787) confirmed existential humility was associated with lower defensiveness, greater empathy and prosociality, and lower well-being. Existential humility engenders tradeoffs and may come with some costs.

There is a great deal of interest in person-in-context approaches to assessment, but such approaches typically result in idiographic conclusions. The present two studies (total N = 350) pioneer a new approach to personality assessment that integrates person-in-context units, obtained from a situational judgment test, with prototype scoring, with the present research applying a hostile person prototype. Participants who matched this prototype to a greater extent were prone to aggressive, deviant, antisocial, risky, and impulsive behaviors. Peers characterized them as hostile (Study 1) and discriminant validity was supported (Study 2). The research demonstrates the value of a new approach to personality assessment that is reliant on person-in-context units of responding rather than trait ratings.

This study tested whether gender moderated links between extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness and relationship outcomes: satisfaction in friendship, family, romantic domains, and partnership status. Data from 3,780 adults in Australia, Denmark, and Sweden were analyzed. The clearest moderation involved partnership status: extraversion related more strongly to men’s partnering, whereas neuroticism and agreeableness showed negative associations for men and neutral to positive associations for women. For ongoing relationships, neuroticism was more strongly linked to lower satisfaction among men; extraversion related more positively to men’s family satisfaction and agreeableness related more positively to women’s. Links between traits and friendship satisfaction showed minimal gender differences. Partnership-status moderations remained after controlling for age and income, while family-domain moderations attenuated. Patterns were largely consistent across countries.

The personality trait, narcissism, is characterized by grandiosity, entitlement, and a heightened drive for social status. Narcissism may therefore influence how people appraise status-relevant social cues. Study 1 examined affective appraisals of status-relevant cues (e.g., “boss”, “assistant”) using an implicit appraisal task. Contrary to expectations, narcissism failed to moderate task performance for stimuli associated with existing social ranks. In Study 2, participants completed a choice-preference task examining positive and negative trait adjectives associated with status pursuit (“ambitious”, “antagonistic”). Results showed a robust relationship between traits associated with negative methods of status pursuit and self-reported narcissism, suggesting that narcissistic individuals may find the use of anti-social tactics (e.g., antagonism, dominance, rivalry) both less off-putting and more desirable in themselves and others.

While narcissism and intellectual humility may seem incompatible, their relationship is more complex due to their multidimensional nature. Across two studies (N1 = 219, Mage = 23.47; SDage = 8.37; N2 = 278, Mage = 21.96; SDage = 4.12; participants recruited through social networking websites), we examined links between three narcissism facets (agentic, antagonistic, neurotic) and four aspects of intellectual humility, controlling for personality and intelligence. Antagonistic and neurotic narcissism were strongly negatively related to independence of intellect and ego, suggesting difficulty separating disagreement from personal threat. Antagonistic narcissism also predicted lower respect for others’ views. In contrast, agentic narcissism showed modest positive links to openness and respect for differing opinions. All three narcissism types were negatively associated with a lack of intellectual overconfidence, highlighting inflated belief in one’s superiority as central to narcissism.
