Summary: Using latent growth modeling, this study explored how personal income and the Big Five personality traits change over time. The results showed that starting levels of income moderated changes in four personality traits, with high-income individuals being less likely to see declines in openness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. However, personality traits were not strong predictors of income change, and changes in income were not correlated with changes in personality traits.

Summary: Both education and household income levels are independently associated with the prevalence of depressive symptoms, with household income levels showing a more robust association with depressive symptoms than education levels. This suggests that a high household income level may offset the risk of depressive symptoms from having a low education level.

Summary: This study examined the health and wellbeing of people living with gamblers across different gambling risk levels. The results showed that individuals living in problem-gambling households reported lower scores in terms of health, mental health, financial situation, and community integration. Those living in moderate-risk gambling households also reported lower satisfaction with their financial situation. These findings highlight the negative impacts of gambling on the health and wellbeing of individuals and emphasize the need for interventions and support for both the gamblers and the people close to them.

Summary: Shared parking is an important solution for urban parking problems. Understanding households' decisions to share private parking spaces is crucial. Current decision-making models fail to address household dynamics and equity concerns, leading to potential validity issues. This study introduces a model that considers leadership personality and household characteristics to understand shared parking participation decisions. A choice experiment conducted in Qingdao, China supports the proposed model, revealing that intra-household interactions and equality are influential factors. Age, leadership personality, household structure, and financial management significantly affect household decision weights.

Summary: In this study, the applicability of the Big Five model in rural Southeast Asia was investigated, challenging concerns about its validity in developing countries. A data set on personality traits from rural Thailand and Vietnam was used to assess the factor structure, internal consistency, and economic relevance of the traits. The results confirmed a five-factor structure, observed slight changes in personality traits over time, and found that openness and emotional stability were positively correlated with rural incomes. The study concludes that personality trait models are important and applicable in developing countries.

Summary: The study found that social inequality in socio-emotional skills is generally limited, especially when compared with inequalities related to cognitive skills and gender. Higher-SES students tend to have higher returns in terms of certain personality traits on achievement, indicating that the impact of personality traits on academic success is not influenced by socioeconomic status.

Summary: This study aimed to model the effect of big five personality traits on noise sensitivity and annoyance. The results showed that extroversion and neuroticism had the most importance in noise sensitivity and noise annoyance while conscientiousness and openness to experience were found to have the least importance in these variables. The findings suggest that sociocultural differences significantly affect responses to noise, and the effect of exposure to noise may vary from one person to another due to their personality traits.

Summary: Personality assessment is highly demanded in various fields and the integration research of machine learning and psychology has become a new trend. The technology of automatic personality identification based on facial analysis is the most advanced in large-scale personality identification. This study proposes a method to automatically identify the Big Five personality traits through analyzing facial movement, and the experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach.

Summary: This study examines the types of performance indicators that basketballers use to identify clutch performance. The results suggest that objective indicators are important, but often viewed subjectively. Additionally, subjective indicators such as perceived effort and control are also significant in assessing clutch performance.

Results showed that attractiveness did not have a significant effect, but there was an interaction between target attractiveness and race, where attractive/White candidates were more likely to be invited for interview. Race also had a significant main effect, with Black candidates being rated as stronger and more likely to be interviewed.

The results show significant improvements in depression literacy, intentions to seek self-help, and knowledge and confidence to provide help among the participating coaches. The coaches also provide positive feedback and suggest aligning the workshop content with governing policy.

Summary: Previous research on the role of altruism in mating success has produced inconsistent findings. This study aimed to test the relationship between altruism (charity/volunteer work) and number of offspring. The results showed that more altruistic adults had more children among older adults, and higher levels of altruism were related to a greater number of total children and children conceived in the future among younger adults. The effect sizes were small to very small in all instances.

Summary: The concept of clutch performance has gained attention in recent years, with researchers and sport practitioners aiming to understand when and how it occurs. A study interviewed 12 semielite/elite sporting coaches to gain insight into clutch performances. Two themes emerged: the performance level required varies with context, and clutch performances can happen at different temporal levels. These findings contribute to a refined definition of clutch performance that considers context and duration. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Summary: Sports settings are considered ideal places for complex multi-level health-promotion interventions, but better understanding of their real-world implementation and success is needed. This systematic review summarizes how process evaluations of health promotion interventions are conducted in sports settings and highlights facilitators and barriers to intervention delivery. The review provides a guide for future process evaluations to improve the transparency, replicability, and reliability of health promotion interventions in real-world settings.

Summary: Physical activity is proven to be effective for mental health promotion and prevention and treatment of mental health problems. However, the impact of contextual factors on the mental health benefits of physical activity is not well understood. This umbrella review analyzed existing systematic reviews to evaluate the effect of contextual factors on mental health outcomes. The evidence suggests that supervised physical activity, physical and social environment, and various types of physical activity have beneficial effects on mental health. However, the lack of direct comparisons and heterogeneous control groups limits further analysis.
