David C. Schwebel; Ole Johan Sando; Ellen Beate Hansen Sandseter; Rasmus Kleppe; Lise Storli – Infant and Child Development, 2025
On a daily basis, children make decisions about how to negotiate their physical environment. Sometimes they engage in physical tasks that involve risk, requiring them to judge the safety of how to negotiate the environment safely. Individual differences in children's age, sex, physical size, and personality may impact those decisions. We used…

Ole Johan Sando; Rasmus Kleppe; Ellen Beate Hansen Sandseter – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2025
Understanding children's willingness to take risks is crucial for sound educational strategies and play environments. This study investigates children's risk willingness using a virtual reality (VR) playground balancing scenario and examines its associations with sensation-seeking personality trait, age, gender, and the likelihood of failing the…

Del Giudice, Marco – Developmental Psychology, 2016
According to models of differential susceptibility, the same neurobiological and temperamental traits that determine increased sensitivity to stress and adversity also confer enhanced responsivity to the positive aspects of the environment. Differential susceptibility models have expanded to include complex developmental processes in which genetic…

Kerr, Margaret; Van Zalk, Maarten; Stattin, Hakan – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2012
Background: Peer influence on adolescent delinquency is well established, but little is known about moderators of peer influence. In this study, we examined adolescents' (targets) and their peers' psychopathic personality traits as moderators of peer influence on delinquency in peer networks. We used three separate dimensions of the psychopathic…

A Step at a Time: Preliterate Children's Simulation of Narrative Movement during Story Comprehension
Fecica, Agnieszka M.; O'Neill, Daniela K. – Cognition, 2010
A growing body of work suggests that narrative comprehension involves the simulation of the described events and actions (e.g., Barsalou, 2008; Matlock, 2004). Preliterate children's ability to simulate a narrative character's movements is explored here in three studies. Children's simulations of a character's movements were found to be…

Zhang, Guangjian; Browne, Michael W. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2010
Dynamic factor analysis summarizes changes in scores on a battery of manifest variables over repeated measurements in terms of a time series in a substantially smaller number of latent factors. Algebraic formulae for standard errors of parameter estimates are more difficult to obtain than in the usual intersubject factor analysis because of the…

Steffan, Jarrod S.; Morgan, Robert D.; Lee, Jeahoon; Sellbom, Martin – Assessment, 2010
There are several strategies, or models, for combining the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) validity indicators to detect malingered psychiatric symptoms. Some scholars have recommended that an elevated F (Infrequency) score should be followed by the inspection of Fp (Infrequency-Psychopathology), whereas a recent…

Gillis, Angelique; McDonald, J. Douglas; Weatherly, Jeffrey N. – American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research: The Journal of the National Center, 2008
The research literature on gambling behavior indicates that American Indians (AIs) suffer from pathological gambling at a greater rate than the majority population. The literature also suggests that dispositional factors, such as sensation seeking, can influence gambling. However, situational factors, such as the payback percentage of a slot…

Fernandez, Krissie; Boccaccini, Marcus T.; Noland, Ramona M. – Psychological Assessment, 2008
Existing research on the Spanish-language translation of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; L. C. Morey, 1991) suggests that the validity scales from the English- and Spanish-language versions may not be equivalent measures. In the current study, 72 bilingual participants completed both the English- and Spanish-language versions of the PAI…

Ausburn, Lynna J.; Martens, Jon; Dotterer, Gary; Calhoun, Pat – Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
This paper presents a review of literature that introduces major concepts and issues in using avatars and pedagogical agents in first- and second-person virtual environments (VEs) for learning online. In these VEs, avatars and pedagogical agents represent self and other learners/participants or serve as personal learning "guides". The…

Suda, William; Fouts, Gregory – Child Development, 1980
In a simulated emergency situation, 38 introverted and 38 extroverted sixth-grade children were tested in the presence or absence of same-sex confederate peer. In the presence of a peer, more extroverts actively helped than introverts, with no difference occurring for children tested alone. Introverts and extroverts preferred passive and active…

Petersen, Chris; And Others – Social Behavior and Personality, 1978
Literature in simulations and games reveals a lack of research in the area of effects of simulations on personal characteristics of participants. Cross-cultural simulation scores yielded a significant effect for creative ability and revealed significant interaction of creative ability and sex. (Author)

Ford, David L. – Group and Organization Studies, 1983
Used a simulated collective bargaining game characterized by interaction between bargaining teams to investigate effects of team locus of control on aspiration and bargaining outcomes. Results suggest the more internal a team's personal control beliefs, the more likely the team will not reach a negotiated settlement. (Author/JAC)

Donovan, Wilberta; Leavitt, Lewis; Taylor, Nicole – Developmental Psychology, 2005
The impact of differences in maternal self-efficacy and infant difficulty on mothers' sensitivity to small changes in the fundamental frequency of an audiotaped infant's cry was explored in 2 experiments. The experiments share in common experimental manipulations of infant difficulty, a laboratory derived measure of maternal efficacy (low,…

Krus, David J.; And Others – 1974
This paper describes a test which attempts to measure a group of personality traits by analyzing the actual behavior of the participant in a computer-simulated game. ECHO evolved from an extension and computerization of Horstein and Deutsch's allocation game. The computerized version of ECHO requires subjects to make decisions about the allocation…
