Ruiz, A. Fusté, P.J. Ferrando, E. García University of Barcelona, Spain We presented an integrated hierarchical model of psychopathol- ogy that more accurately captures empirical patterns of comorbidity between clinical syndromes and personality disorders. In order to verify the structural validity of the model proposed, this study aimed to analyze the convergence between the Restructured Clinical (RC) scales and Personality scales (PSY-5) of the MMPI-2-RF and the Clin- ical Syndrome and Personality Disorder scales of the MCMI-III. The MMPI-2-RF and MCMI-III were administered to a clinical sample of 377 outpatients (167 men and 210 women). The structural hypoth- esis was assessed by using a Confirmatory Factor Analytic design with four common superordinate factors. An independent-cluster- basis solution was proposed based on maximum likelihood estima- tion and the application of several fit indices. The fit of the proposed model can be considered as good and more so if we take into account its complexity. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2013.07.222 CREA. A cross-cultural study J. Corbalán, R. Martín-Brufau, D. Donolo, M. Clapham, R. Limiñana V. García-Peñas, R. Elizondo, F. Martínez-Zaragoza, D. Abecasis, N. Tabibian, A. widerska, B. Guerci, R. Pérez del Viso, A. Franco, R. King Universidad de Murcia, Spain The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric char- acteristics of the CREA, an instrument for assessing divergent think- ing, in a wide sample of different populations such as Spain, Argentina, United States, Israel, Poland, Mexico and Turkey. Responding to a inquiry made by Villalba: ’’Is it really possible to measure creativity?’’ and following Runco’s proposal of ’’changing the question’’, the scientific question might be: Which aspects of cre- ativity are measurable? The CREA test is intended at appreciating creative intelligence by means of an indicator of question-raising within a theoretical context of problem seeking and solving. This research provides new data about its international use in different sociocultural contexts and a cross-cultural instrument comparison. Results showed similar findings in the different populations, thus supporting the use of the CREA as a divergent thinking measure in a wide range of cultural environments. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2013.07.223 Creativity and the aspects of neuroticism R. Clark, C. DeYoung University of Minnesota, USA The personality trait neuroticism has two aspects, withdrawal and volatility, that are both associated with different forms of psy- chopathology. Specific psychopathological disorders have also been associated with increased creativity, implying that certain traits that make one more vulnerable to mental illness may also play a role in creative innovation. However, few studies have looked at the rela- tion between the specific aspects of neuroticism and creativity. This study looked at creative achievement (measured by the Creative Achievement Questionnaire) and the aspects of neuroticism in three separate samples (total N = 720), after controlling for age, gender, intelligence, and openness. It found that volatility positively pre- dicted creative achievement, especially in the arts, whereas with- drawal negatively predicted creative achievement. This suggests that the trait of volatility may account for some of the relationship between psychopathology and creativity. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2013.07.224 Depression symptoms in burns: The influence of personality dimensions in a follow-up study A. Giannoni-Pastor, M. Gomà-i-Freixanet, S. Valero, S.G. Fidel, R. Tasque-Cebrian, J.M. Arguello, M. Casas Psychiatry Department, Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron, CIBERSAM, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain Studies show that burn patients may develop depressive symptoms. It is also known that some personality variables such as Neuroticism and Introversion are related to vulnerability to depression. Our study analysed how personality influenced the development of depressive symptoms six months after a burn injury in adult survivors. Participants were 109 adult burn survivors (18–75 years) admitted to a Burn Unit between April 2009 and November 2010. Personality was assessed using the Zuckerman–Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire and depres- sion symptoms by the Beck Depression Inventory. Age, gender and burn size were adjusted. Results showed that Neuroticism-Anxiety (N-Anx) and Aggression-Hostility (Agg-Host) were stronger predictors of depressive symptoms six months after burn injury. These findings sug- gest that burn patients with high scores on N-Anx and Agg-Host are more prone to develop depressive symptoms. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2013.07.225 Desinhibited personality and gonodal hormones in man A. Aluja, L.F. García, O. García, A. Blach University of Lleida, Spain This study analyzes the relationship between the sexual hor- mones and personality based in biological Zuckerman and Cloninger models in 105 health males. The age range was 17–53 years (mean 26.71 + 9.68 SEM). The sexual hormones were luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH), total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT) and bioavailable testosterone (BT) and sex hor- mone binding globulin (SHBG). The personality variables were Nov- elty Seking scale (TCI-R) and Neuroticism-Anxiety –N-, Anx-, Impulsivity –ImpSS-, Sociability –Sy-, Activity –Act- and Aggressiv- ity-Hostility -Agg-Host- of the ZKPQ-69. The results showed that TT, FT, BT and NS and Sy were related negatively with age. NS and Sy as associated with TT, FT and BT. Combining Sy + ImpSS the cor- relation improved a little. Subjects with extreme scores in NS and Sy + ImpSS obtained higher and significant mean scores on TT, FT and BT. The relations between sexual hormones and personality decreased after controlling the age. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2013.07.226 Development and initial validation of IPIP-NEO (120) for mea- surement of the big five J.A.
