Accordingly, this study aimed to examine associations between the HSP and Sensory Profile. 565 United States adults (age 18–94) were recruited via Prolific using the representative sample option, stratifying based on Census sex, age, and ethnicity. Participants completed the HSP scale and the Sensory Profile. Correlations, path analyses, and descriptive statistics showed that participants who scored high on the HSP total scale scored higher on low registration, sensory sensitivity and sensation avoiding. Different sensory tendencies were identified across HSP facets (low sensory threshold, ease of excitation, aesthetic sensitivity), suggesting that highly sensitive people may display different processing patterns and coping mechanisms depending on their HSP subtype. Using the Adult Sensory Profile could better inform support for highly sensitive individuals when their sensory processing type is not complementary to a desired aspect in their life.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48467,"journal":{"name":"Personality and Individual Differences","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 113710"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146190312","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}

At best, corporate bullshit can sometimes seem harmless. At worst, it can disrupt organizational and employee effectiveness in numerous ways including obstructing clear communication, increasing employee disengagement, tarnishing a company's reputation, and exposing businesses to potential financial and legal risks. Here, results from four studies (total <em>N</em> = 1018) report the construction and validation of the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale (CBSR), a novel measure of individual differences in susceptibility to corporate bullshit. Results show that corporate bullshit receptivity is distinct from a general affinity for corporate speech, negatively associated with measures of analytic thinking, and positively related with other bullshit-related constructs in theoretically-consistent ways. Importantly, corporate bullshit receptivity is positively associated with several workplace perception variables and is a robust negative predictor of work-related decision-making. Overall, the findings establish the CBSR as a valid and reliable tool to aid researchers and practitioners in examining the causes, correlates, and consequences of receptivity to bullshit in organizations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48467,"journal":{"name":"Personality and Individual Differences","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 113699"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146190316","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}

We first compared the relative salience of the Big Five traits across historical periods, and then analyzed the polarity of these traits by contrasting lawyers with the general population. The results showed that conscientiousness was the most frequently discussed trait overall, while agreeableness dominated in the early twentieth century and openness became most prominent in recent decades; extraversion remained relatively stable, and neuroticism was rarely highlighted. Polarity analyses indicated that lawyers were more positively described in conscientiousness, openness, and extraversion, but more negatively in agreeableness and neuroticism. Notably, shifts in trait salience (such as the mid-twentieth-century rise of conscientiousness and the recent prominence of openness) may reflect broader social, cultural, and professional transformations, including post-war institutional changes, evolving cultural values, and innovations in legal education and practice.

Trait-level perfectionism and narcissism were assessed at baseline, while their state-level counterparts were assessed during the ambulatory assessment phase.

State grandiose narcissism was positively associated with perfectionistic striving cognitions and negatively with perfectionistic concern cognitions, whereas state vulnerable narcissism was positively related to perfectionistic concern cognitions. At the between-person level, average state grandiose narcissism was positively related to perfectionistic striving cognitions, while state vulnerable narcissism was positively related to perfectionistic concern cognitions.

Results revealed that parental psychological control was associated with decreased hedonic approach and eudaimonic orientations and increased hedonic avoidance tendencies, and diminished self-concept clarity partly mediated these effects (Study 1). The experimental manipulation of self-concept clarity (Studies 2a–2b) causally decreased pain-avoidance motives and increased eudaimonic motives through enhanced state self-concept clarity.
