Cognitive fusion and affective isolation: Blurred self-concept and empathy deficits in schizotypy
2019, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Considering our presented data, it can be stated that all factor scores of absorption and empathy were higher in women than in men. Similar robust sex differences were reported previously in absorption (Kremen and Block 2002) and empathy (Eisenberg et al., 1991). Consequently, it can be established that the phenotypical expression of the latent content of absorption and empathy and partly schizotypy is modulated by sex.
The personality systems framework: Current theory and development
2015, Journal of Research in PersonalityCitation Excerpt :Many other expert-identified traits help to explain personality including repression-proneness (as a personality trait), internal-versus-external locus of control, and time perspective, which involves a focus on the past, present, or future. Experts also have developed the concepts of psychological absorption, an altered state of consciousness related to flow and hypnotic ability, general intelligence (a part of personality as identified here) and action identification, which concerns whether a person views acts as integrated and goal-directed—as in the case of “making a good impression”—or as more concrete and specific, as in “smiling a lot” (Hölzel & Ott, 2006; Keough, Zimbardo, & Boyd, 1999; Kremen & Block, 2002; Vallacher & Wegner, 2000; Weinberger, Schwartz, & Davidson, 1979; Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). These and other expert-identified traits are as predictively valid as those found within the Big Five.

2008, Journal of Anxiety DisordersCitation Excerpt :The questionnaire is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (agree very little) to 4 (agree very much). The TAS has an internal consistency of .88 and a 30-day test–retest reliability of r = .91 (Kremen & Block, 2002; Roche & McConkey, 1990). Reliability for the current sample was also high (α = .94).
