Personlighet och kontext: Hur neuroticism och dess fasetter interagerar med social önskvärdhet i en pressad situation
(2023) PSYK11 20231Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Relationen mellan personlighet och social önskvärdhet har sedan länge varit debatterad. I denna studie undersöktes individens tendens till att svara socialt önskvärt och deras nivå av neuroticism. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur korrelationen mellan neuroticism och social önskvärdhet såg ut samt hur en pressad situation kan skapa en interaktionseffekt mellan dessa. Studien hade två frågeställningar, där den första hanterade neuroticism som helhet medan den andra fokuserade på fasetternas effekt. Studiens tillvägagångssätt var av en experimentell enkät, N= 253, med items från IPIP-NEO-120 samt en social önskvärdhetsskala. Resultatet visade att neuroticism som faktor hade en negativ korrelation till social önskvärdhet samt att det fanns... (More)

Studiens tillvägagångssätt var av en experimentell enkät, N= 253, med items från IPIP-NEO-120 samt en social önskvärdhetsskala. Resultatet visade att neuroticism som faktor hade en negativ korrelation till social önskvärdhet samt att det fanns två fasetter som hade en mer utmärkande påverkan på denna relation. Utöver detta visade resultatet på en signifikant interaktionseffekt mellan neuroticismen och den pressade situationen experimentgruppen fick ta del av. Denna interaktion innebar att individer med höga nivåer av neuroticism tenderade att svara mindre socialt önskvärt än individer med lägre nivåer. Däremot vid en pressad situation tenderade de med högre nivåer av neuroticism att svara mer socialt önskvärt än deras motpart i kontrollgruppen. Interaktionseffekten kunde härledas till två specifika fasetter inom neuoriticismen. En möjlig förklaring till studiens resultat diskuteras vara individens självkänsla. Implikationerna av resultatet skapar vidare möjligheter för framtida forskning med ett fasettfokus. (Less)
- Abstract
- The nature of the relationship between personality and social desirability has long been debated. This study examined the individual's tendency to respond socially desirable and their level of neuroticism. The aim of this study was to examine how the correlation between social desirability and neuroticism looked and whether a pressured situation was causing an interaction effect on the correlation. The study had two research questions, the first concerned neuroticism as a factor, whereas the second investigated the impact of the facets of neuroticism. This was implemented through an experimental survey, N=253, consisting of items from the IPIP-NEO-120 personality inventory and a social desirability scale. The results showed that... (More)

The results showed that neuroticism as a factor had a negative correlation to social desirability and that two facets have a more distinctive influence on this relationship. Furthermore, the study established a significant interaction effect between neuroticism and the pressured situation that the experimental group took part of. This showed that individuals with high levels of neuroticism tended to answer in a less socially desirable fashion than individuals with lower levels. However, when put in a pressured situation the individuals with higher levels of neuroticism tended to answer more socially desirable than their counterparts in the control group. The interaction could be attributed to two specific facets. Individual’s differences in self-esteem is suggested as an explanation to the results. The implications of the results create further opportunities for future research regarding the facets of personality factors. (Less)
