responses, comprehension, skills application, and feedback. An analysis of the training components, to ensure that the assumptions underlying service delivery and processes are assessed, allowed for a more clear understanding of causal effects. The evaluation provides further empirical insight into EI learning and offers an understanding of how EI impacts such factors as occupational stress, coping skills, wellbeing, teacher efficacy, and resilience. doi:10.1016/j.paid.2016.05.336

Some Like it Cold: The Dark Triad and Sexual fantasies and behaviour B.A. Visser, V. DeBow, J. Pozzebon, A. Bogaert, A. Book The differential relations of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy to sexual fantasies and behaviours were investigated in a sample of 355 undergraduate students. Narcissism showed the weakest relations to fantasies and behaviours, whereas psychopathy was the strongest predictor of both fantasy themes and having engaged in fantasized activities (after controlling for level of fantasizing about that activity). The impulsivity and lack of selfregulation that are part of the constellation of psychopathic traits might be implicated in this relatively greater tendency to have engaged in fantasized sexual behaviours that are less widely socially desirable (e.g., unrestricted, deviant, and risky activity). doi:10.1016/j.paid.2016.05.337

Savvy Liars? HEXACO personality predicts self-report deception ability B.A. Visser, S. Schueler Lying skill is difficult to evaluate objectively, given that most untrained people tend to perform at no better than chance level in detecting falsehoods. Thus, in this research, we examined the personality characteristics associated with people’s own evaluations of their lying skill. Using hierarchical regression analyses, we compared Big Five and HEXACO models of personality in accounting for self-report deception ability. The Big Five personality factors accounted for 12% of the variance in self-report deception ability (after controlling for gender), with (low) Agreeableness and (high) Openness significant predictors. Both became non-significant when psychopathy and enjoyment of lying were added at the third step, with the final model accounting for 41% of the variance. The HEXACO model, on the other hand, accounted for 31% of the variance in perceived ability to deceive after controlling for gender, with Honesty-Humility a significant negative predictor at every step. The final model, including enjoyment of lying and psychopathy, accounted for 45% of the variance in selfperceived lying ability. Thus, HEXACO personality uniquely predicted people’s evaluations of their own lying, even in a model that contained variables highly relevant and specific to deception.

1997). Present study concerns cross-cultural differences in the relationships between intelligence and personality traits. The study included 147 adolescent participants (mean age 15.8 years, SD=1.1 years): 92 from Russia and 55 from Kyrgyzstan. We assessed the “Big Five” personality traits by means of the Russian version of NEO Personality Inventory-Revised. Intelligence was assessed using Standard Raven's Progressive Matrices. We computed Pearson correlation to estimate the relationship between personality traits and intelligence. On Russian sample we found statistically significant correlations between intelligence and Agreeableness and Conscientiousness (0.26 and 0.23, respectively). Neuroticism correlated with intelligence negatively (-0.17), and Openness positively (0.14), these correlations did not reach the level of statistical significance. On Kyrgyz sample intelligence score showed statistically significant correlations with Extraversion (-0.32) and Conscientiousness (-0.36). Neuroticism correlated with intelligence positively (0.26), but the correlation did not reach the level of statistical significance. The difference in the relationships between personality traits and intelligence in Russian and Kyrgyz participants may reflect the lexical nature of the “Big Five”.

Perceiving Students’ Individual Characteristics Accurately based on Minimal Information: Effects of Liking and Teacher-Student Similarity C. Wahle, A. Praetorius, K. Hochdörffer, F. Schrader Teachers’ (spontaneous) judgments of students’ individual characteristics play a vital role in day-to-day classroom decisions, such as grouping of students, selecting material and levels of difficulty. Moreover, teachers’ ability to accurately judge students’ individual characteristics is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of adaptive teaching. Given that most previous research was conducted in natural classrooms following a long interaction time between teachers and students, assessing teachers’ judgments based on minimal information may offer valuable insights into the generation and influencing factors of teachers’ judgment accuracy. Moderators of judgment accuracy that have previously been found to have an effect on personality judgments contain judge-target similarity effects regarding gender and personality, and liking of a target. Hence, our study examines teacher-student similarity effects (personality and gender) and effects of liking as moderators of judgment accuracy in respect to students’ academic self-concept, intrinsic motivation and intelligence. Following a half-block study design, N = 150 university students and N = 100 experienced teachers judged ten students as targets based on ten 30 second videos. The obtained data was analyzed following the Social Accuracy Model (SAM). Results and implications of the study will be discussed on the conference.

We distinguish within-person, process models of personality from the more widely researched between-person models of personality. The primary difference between these two model types is that process models provide an understanding of the dynamic processes at the individual level, whereas between-person models only advance
