We argue that the specific goals or focus of ambition, as well as the level of general ambition, are important. Study 1 used a large sample of working adults and found that general ambition and extrinsically-focused ambition were associated with a willingness to engage in political behavior and career success. Study 2 surveyed a second sample of working adults and found that extrinsic ambition was associated with an increased tendency to misrepresent qualifications when applying for a job. In Study 3, using four distinct scenarios, we found that extrinsic ambition was associated with people's willingness to engage in unethical behavior. The data make the case that ambition is an important trait useful for understanding people's careers and that there are at least two forms of ambition. Moreover, like some other personal traits such as narcissism, ambition can be a double-edged sword, associated both with career achievement and being willing to take ethical shortcuts to achieve success.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48467,"journal":{"name":"Personality and Individual Differences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142593273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Narcissistic admiration constituted the strongest positive predictor of global and personal meaning of work, harmonious passion at work, and work engagement. Narcissistic rivalry emerged as the strongest positive predictor of work addiction, work-family, and family-work conflicts, and the only negative predictor of personal meaning of work and harmonious passion. Communal narcissism positively predicted personal and global meaning of work, work addiction, and work-family and family-work conflicts. Vulnerable narcissism displayed negative relationships with job engagement and positive ones – with harmonious and obsessive passions, job addiction, and work-family conflict. The findings demonstrated divergent relationship patterns of each narcissistic variant with organizational variables, which vary in potential adaptability. The results suggested that narcissistic admiration and communal narcissism might bring both maladaptive and some potentially adaptive organizational outcomes.

In a sample of 480 community adults (<em>M/SD</em><sub>age</sub> = 32.2/10.5, 53.5 % female), lifetime MDD symptoms correlated positively with lifetime violence perpetration (e.g., assault, physical fighting) above and beyond basic demographic variables.

The link between depression and violence was also modulated by individual differences in reward sensitivity, but not emotional reactivity. Follow-up analyses indicated that MDD symptoms correlated positively with violence perpetration among individuals with blunted trait reward sensitivity, particularly those low on consummatory reward, but not individuals high on reward sensitivity.

The study included 542 university students, 445 females and 97 males, aged 17 to 29. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics first, followed by correlation analysis. The next stage involved applying hierarchical regression analysis to the significant results. The analysis included gender and age as control variables. Following that, four models were tested, each with the concepts of boredom proneness, rumination, and mental wellbeing. The analysis revealed that boredom, rumination, and mental wellbeing accounted for 34 % of the total variance in resilience. Boredom can be alleviated by directing people away from monotonous routines and toward different interests on an intermittent basis. As a result, bored people can reduce their tendency to obsess over their thoughts, which benefits their mental health.
