Summary: Machine learning of high-dimensional models can predict psychological variables accurately within specific domains, but their ability to generalize across domains is limited. Complex models are highly influenced by the specifics of the trained domain, and only a few predictors can survive in different domains.

Summary: Amazon's MTurk is a popular source for personality researchers, but recent studies suggest that correlations within crowdsourcing samples may be inflated. Low pay leads to a need for quick completion of surveys, and crowdworkers also have to worry about rejected work. Participants rush through surveys while maintaining an image of coherence. The studies found that gist reading is common in online surveys. Fear of rejected work is highest on MTurk, and MTurk samples show higher correlations between psychopathy and Machiavellianism than other samples.

Summary: Altruism is not a unidimensional concept and can be divided into different facets. This study examines self-reported altruistic behaviors such as help giving, peer punishment, and moral courage among students from various majors and vocational groups. The results show that different groups have different characteristics in terms of these facets, suggesting that altruism is a multifaceted personality trait. The findings contribute to our understanding of altruism and its measurement using self-report measures.

Summary: Workplace incivility can have detrimental effects on organizational members, with low-intensity behaviors potentially escalating into more severe forms of aggression. This study examined perpetrator-targeted reciprocated incivility and the moderating effects of agreeableness using experimental vignettes and content analysis. The results indicated that individuals were more likely to reciprocate incivility when they perceived their coworker's behavior as uncivil, and that those high on agreeableness were less likely to engage in reciprocated incivility.

Summary: Previous research has examined lay conceptualizations of intentionality and negligence. This current study fills the gap by investigating recklessness and its relationship with negligence and intentionality, finding that recklessness is associated with distinct mental states from those of intentional harm and negligence, and evaluations of recklessness bridge the gap between negligence and intentional harm. The study also shows how evaluations of harm track a continuum from accidents to recklessness and intentional harm, with each concept sharing some features with adjacent concepts.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of employees' anticipation of returning to the physical workplace on work engagement and burnout, using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and self-affirmation theory. The findings reveal that employees who anticipate the return to work experience higher levels of work engagement and lower levels of burnout. However, this relationship is eliminated when participants engage in self-affirmation.
