We therefore aimed at examining whether personality-measured with the Mini International Personality Item Pool-is linked to arts attendance motivations as well as to the art forms people choose to attend across two distinct samples of 1398 Greek and 408 German students. Results of both studies revealed that all the Big Five traits contributed differentially to arts attendance motivations, implying that people with different personality traits have different reasons for attending the arts. Logistic regression results further suggested the relevance of openness to experience and-to a lesser extent-extraversion to arts attendance, with openness to experience contributing to attendance at several art forms in the Greek sample. We might therefore assume that people do attend the arts to satisfy their personality-related needs or, to put it another way, the experience of art lies in the eyes of the beholder.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941251329846"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143731389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the implications of charismatic leadership, examining how different styles-personalized and socialized-affect team dynamics, specifically in relation to team citizenship pressure (CP) and its impact on team strain. It also explores how coping strategies can moderate these effects, offering a deeper understanding of team well-being. The research, conducted across 105 teams in 30 different organizations, revealed intriguing results. Personalized charismatic leadership, characterized by leaders who emphasize self-interest, was found to correlate positively with team CP. In contrast, socialized charismatic leadership, which focuses on collective interests and values, showed no significant relationship with team CP. Furthermore, team CP was shown to have a direct positive relationship with team strain, indicating that increased CP leads to heightened stress within teams. An interesting yet counterintuitive finding of the study was that coping strategies as moderators appeared to intensify the relationship between team CP and team strain rather than buffer it, suggesting that coping strategies may not be universally helpful across different contexts. These findings underscore the complex interplay among leadership styles, team CP, team strain, and coping strategies. They also offer valuable insights for organizations seeking to develop charismatic leadership in ways that enhance team well-being without overburdening employees. Understanding these dynamics can lead to more thoughtful leadership development and healthier workplace environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941251329840"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143693138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that overall psychopathy predicted increased emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, whereas overall narcissism predicted lower emotional exhaustion and higher professional efficacy. Regarding specific components of the dark triad traits, antisocial behavior as a component of psychopathy and cynical view of human nature as a component of Machiavellianism significantly predicted higher emotional exhaustion, whereas power as a component of narcissism predicted higher professional efficacy. Perceived stress significantly moderated the effects on narcissism on emotional exhaustion so that emotional exhaustion was decreasing in teachers when they were higher on narcissism and perceived higher stress, whereas it was increasing in those that were higher on narcissism and perceived lower stress.
