This study examined young children's beliefs about trait stability based on trait type and valence. Participants included 120 children (40 three-year-olds, 40 four-year-olds, and 40 five-year olds) recruited from 3 day-care-centers and 1 kindergarten in Seoul and Kyung-Ki province. Results revealed that young children's understanding of traits differed based on trait type and valence. Children demonstrated a strong belief that social-intention traits are more stable and harder to change when compared to internal-state traits. Young children's beliefs on trait stability were also strongly influenced by trait valence. They believed that negative traits are more likely to change for the better while positive traits have greater stability and are less likely to change over time.

정상 성인의 경우, 감성 개념의 내적 차원 구조는 쾌/불쾌 차원과 각성/수면 차원이라는 이차원 공간상에 원형으로 분포되는 양상을 보인다고 아려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 이차원 구조가 얼마나 보편적이고 일관적인가를 알아보고자 했다. 이를 위해 연구 1에서는 교차타당화를 통해 이차원 구조의 안정성을 검토했으며, 연구 2에서는 다양한 성격 특질을 지닌 집단을 선발하여 22개 단어를 짝지은 231개 쌍에 대해 유사성 평정을 시비고 다차원분석법(MDS)으로 분석한 후 이를 연구 1의 대학생 집단의 결과와 비교하였다. 연구 3에서는 낮은 발달 수준에 있는 아동 및 청소년 집단을 대상으로 연구 2와 동일한 절차를 통해 분석하였다. 연구 1, 2, 3 모두 감성 개념의 이차원 구조가 동일한 것으로 나타나 매우 안정적인 구조라는 것이 입증되었으며, 다만 아동 및 청소년의 경우 1 차원의 설명량이 정상 성인 집단보다 크고 각성/수면 차원의 설명량은 더 적었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 이차원 구조의 안정성과 일반화 가능성, 제한점, 그리고 집단의 독특한 특성을 반영하는데 이 구조적 틀을 적용할 수 있는 유용성에 대해 논의하였다.

The present study aimed to investigate the relationships among consumers' personality trait, brand tribalism, and brand commitment through brand trust and perceived switching cost. Data were collected from a convenience sample of three-hundred and ninety-four undergraduate students at a large Korean university. The participants consisted of 54.1% female (N = 213) and 45.9% male (N = 181). The results indicated that extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability traits are directly related to brand tribalism. Also, brand commitment was directly associated with brand tribalism, brand trust, and perceived switching cost. In particular, our results showed the relationship between brand tribalism and brand commitment was mediated by brand trust, but not perceived switching cost. Therefore, our findings suggest that strong emotional connection of brand tribes may increase perceived switching costs and, consequently, affect brand commitment.

Previous studies on emotion have repeatedly suggested that alexithymia is an important predictor of depression. Therefore, this study examined whether the relationship between these two variables can be moderated by personality factors, focusing on the Big five personality traits. An online survey of 312 college students, including alexithymia, depression, and Big five personality traits (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, and Openness to Experience) was conducted. As the results, as expected, alexithymia predicted depression, which was in line with the existing research flow. In addition, moderation analysis revealed that agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness to experience moderated the relationship between alexithymia and depression, while extraversion and conscientiousness did not. This study has an important implication in that it discriminated which specific personality traits function as moderators in the process of increasing depression due to alexithymia.

As creativity is a crucial attribute for companies' survival and innovative success, many firms encourage and implement ways to promote employee creativity. Previous studies in the dual pathway to creativity model have shown that creativity can be enhanced when either the cognitive flexibility or cognitive persistence path is triggered. Although individuals have different personal traits, prior research has rarely investigated whether one pathway is more effective for a certain personality in promoting creativity than the other. Using attachment theory, we examined the influence of attachment style on the degree of the impact of each path on creativity. Specifically, we hypothesized that securely attached people would show higher creativity only when they use the cognitive flexibility path. Data from the US support our hypothesis. Our research highlights that the link between cognitive flexibility and creativity is salient when securely attached people use the cognitive flexibility path because of the strong fit between secure attachment and flexible thinking.
