Previous studies have shown the main relations between theNEO-PI-R and the ZKPQ with a dimensional measure of personalitypathology, the DAPP-BQ. The present research was designed to com-pare the associations between the shortened versions of the NEO-PI-R (NEO-FFI-R) and the ZKPQ (ZKPQ-50-CC) in the prediction of theDAPP-BQ scales. The sample was formed by 610 non-clinicial partic-ipants with a mean age of 39.51 (Sd = 15.67) (48.5% females and51.5% males). We performed different hierarchical and LOESS regres-sions predicting the four factors of the DAPP-BQ. With a principalcomponent analysis and procrustes rotation the main DAPP-BQstructure of four factors was replicated, as the individual relationsbetween questionnaires. Each instrument explained around 30% ofthe DAPP-BQ factors, less Compulsiveness were a significant differ-ence was found between the NEO-FFI-R and ZKPQ-50-CC predictions.The results were discussed in base of the theoretical constructs thatsupport each personality model.

Personality traits, cognitive appraisal and situation as determi-nants of moodE. Gorynska, M. Zajenkowski, M. WiniewskiUniversity of Warsaw, Poland

Many studies show that mood changes may depend on the sit-uational demands. However, little is known how various psycho-logical factors determine affective experiences in differentcontexts. In the present study we measured students’ (n = 462)mood dimensions (energetic arousal, tense arousal and hedonictone) in six occasions: three times during typical lectures (neutralsituations), just before and immediately after an exam (perfor-mance situation), and two weeks later after the exam. Moreover,participants’ personality tratis, appraisal of the exam’s workloadand obtained grade were measured. The results show that thereis constant relationship between neuroticism and two mooddimensions: tense arousal (positive), and hedonic tone (negative)regardless of the measurement context. Energetic arousal is posi-tively associated with extraversion and conscientiousness but onlyin neutral conditions; in the exam situation the relationships wereinsignificant. Additionally, the cognitive appraisal of exam demandsmediated the relationship between personality traits and mooddimensions.

Personality types based on Gray’s model predict physical violencein malesP. Colovic, D. Mitrovic, J. KodzopeljicUniversity of Novi Sad, Serbia

Principal aim of this study was to determine whether personalitytypes contribute significantly to prediction of violent behavior inmales. The study was conducted on a sample of 716 male partici-pants, aged 18–76, comprising 107 prison inmates and 609 fromnon-prison population. RSQ questionnaire was applied, measuring5 dimensions of revised Gray’s model. Three forms of physical vio-lence (towards family members, towards close people, and towardsunknown people) were assessed by PRONA questionnaire. Clusteranalysis revealed three personality types based on RSQ scores,named Approaching, Avoidant and Controlled. Clusters were replica-ble across prison and non-prison populations. Hierarchical binarylogistic regressions revealed that personality types contribute signif-icantly to prediction of physical violence towards close people inoverall sample (Approaching type had a significant contribution),

as well as in prison and non-prison sub-samples. There was nosignificant contribution of personality types to prediction of otherforms of violent behavior.

Personality types based on seven-factor lexical model in childrenaged 11–14D. Mitrovic, P. Colovic, J. KodzopeljicUniversity of Novi Sad, Serbia

The main goal of this study was to identify personality typesbased on seven personality dimensions based on personalitydescriptors in Serbian language. The study was conducted on a sam-ple of 587 elementary school students from Serbia (48% girls), aged11–14. Big Five Plus Two questionnaire (version adapted for chil-dren) was applied, measuring seven personality dimensions, whichare analogous to dimensions of Tellegen and Waller’s seven-factormodel. K-means clustering procedure was applied. A validation pro-cedure (comprising internal and stability measures) showed thatthree-cluster solution was optimal. Three clusters showed great sim-ilarities to ARC personality types, and therefore were interpreted asResilient (N = 265), Overcontrolled (N = 148) and Undercontrolled(N = 174). Genders were distributed equally across clusters, Resultsof MANOVA (cluster membership as grouping variable) pointed todifferences between clusters regarding bullying, risky behaviors,school grades and number of close friends.

Personality, motivation, nature, and well-beingD. Korotkov, A. GodboutSt. Thomas University, Canada

Research suggests that several personality variables such asextraversion, agreeableness, and character are linked to eudaimonicand hedonic motives as well as well-being. However, it is unclear asto the mechanisms that link the variables. This research focuses onnature contact as a potential mediating variable. It was expected thatseveral character strengths and the Five-Factors of Personality wouldimpact well-being indirectly through both hedonistic and eudaimon-ic motives as well as nature contact. To test the model, 125 partici-pants were administered the following: a character strengthmeasure; a Five-Factor measure; a measure to assess hedonic andeudaimonic motives; two nature contact measures; and severalwell-being measures (e.g., mood). Path analysis was used to testthe model. Overall, the results provided partial support for themodel. Although contact with nature was related to well-being,character strength appeared to have the biggest impact on the well-ness outcome measure.

In the present study the relationships between personality traits(Big Five factors, Impulsivity and Circadian Preference), sleep habitsand sleep problems were evaluated in a representative sample ofItalian eighth grade students. Participants (N = 3391; 50.6% females,mean age: 13.8 ± 5 years) completed a modified version of School
