The study of personality in organizations: Interview with Gian Vittorio Caprara
No full textIn this interview Professor Gian Vittorio Caprara shares with us some of his thoughts about personality psychology and organizational psychology, emerging out of a long experience of working in both fields. Many important questions have been raised in these areas where there is a long-lasting concern with how personality should be understood and 'measured'. Professor Caprara addresses this and other pressing issues for theorists and practitioners alike in the present interview

Personalizing politics and realizing democracy
No full textFew people today would challenge the legitimacy of democracy as the form of government most congenial to modern-day citizenship, as it requires its members to treat each other as equals and to cooperate in the shared pursuit of conditions that maximize both the individual's potential and the achievement of a public welfare. However, a number of facts challenge these deeply-rooted ideals: declining political participation, along with skepticism and dissatisfaction with the function of democracy has spread; citizens' increasing capacity to control their own circumstances within their private, economic, and social spheres is at odds with their inability to exert control over their elected representatives; and the shift of opposing radical coalitions towards more pragmatic and ideologically elusive platforms aimed to attract a larger constituency of the electorate has greatly diluted the identity of political parties.
In Personalizing Politics and Realizing Democracy, authors Gian Vittorio Caprara and Michele Vecchione present the ever-growing reciprocal relationship between personality and politics, and assert that politics are not only increasingly dependent on the likes and dislikes of its citizenship, but ultimately on the personalities of political candidates attracting these voters' preferences. In this book, Caprara and Vecchione draw from recent research in personality psychology that offer a decisive role in understanding the major changes that have occurred within politics in the last several decades

Being a Successful Adolescent at School and with Peers. The Discriminative Power of a Typological Approach
No full textThis study aims to explore the utility of the resilient, overcontrolled, and undercontrolled personality prototypes in discriminating adolescents with respect to their academic and social functioning and success. One-hundred and twelve male and 95 female Italian adolescents (mean age 517 years old) participated in the study and filled out a number of self-report questionnaires aimed at assessing the Big Five personality traits, academic and social functioning indicators, and internalizing and
externalizing problems. Prototype membership, corresponding to the resilient, overcontrolled and undercontrolled types, was derived from cluster analysis of the Big Five self-ratings. The three prototypes clearly differed in terms of their academic and interpersonal functioning and problem behavior. Resilient adolescents showed higher academic success and better relationships with peers; whereas undercontrollers and overcontrollers both reported more internalizing and externalizing
problems, as well as having more deviant friends who both are drug addicts and steal.
Assessing civic moral disengagement: Dimensionality and construct validity
No full textMoral disengagement has been introduced by Bandura to address psychosocial mechanisms by which individuals mitigate the moral consequences of harmful behaviors. Proper measures to assess moral dis- engagement mechanisms for aggression and violence (MDs) have been made available since long (Ban- dura, Barbaranelli, Caprara, & Pastorelli, 1996). As same mechanism may serve self-exonerative functions when violating civic duties and obligations, a specific measure has been developed to assess civic moral disengagement (CMDs). Two studies have been conducted to assess the psychometric prop- erties of the CMDs using both cross-sectional and longitudinal data. In the first study, dimensionality and internal consistency of the new scale were investigated in a sample of 2395 subjects. In the second study, predictive and discriminant validity of CMDs with respect to MDs were investigated on a longitudinal sample of 290 adolescents. Findings attest to unidimensionality, internal consistency and discriminant validity of CMDs
Multi-faceted self-efficacy beliefs as predictors of life satisfaction in late adolescence
No full textIn a longitudinal design, 650 young adolescents’ multi-faceted self-efficacy beliefs (academic, social and self-regulatory), academic achievement and peer preference in middle school were used to predict life satisfaction
five years later.
Hierarchical regression analysis showed that for both genders, academic and social self-efficacy beliefs inearly adolescence were better predictors of life satisfaction in late adolescence than early academic achievement
and peer preference. Furthermore, change in academic and social self-efficacy beliefs significantly contributed to predict life satisfaction over the course of five years.
