Character strengths and fluid intelligence
Copyright policy )Character strengths and fluid intelligence
AbstractObjectiveResearch on the associations between cognitive and noncognitive personality traits has widely neglected character strengths, that means positively and morally valued personality traits that constitute good character.MethodThe present study aimed to bridge this gap by studying the associations between character strengths and fluid intelligence using different operationalizations of character strengths (including self‐ and informant‐reports) and fluid intelligence in children, adolescents, and adults.ResultsThe results, based on four samples (N= 193/290/330/324), suggested that morally valued personality traits are independent of fluid intelligence, with the exception of love of learning, which showed small but robust positive relationships with fluid intelligence across all samples.ConclusionsNonetheless, we argue for further research on the associations with other cognitive abilities and interactions between character strengths and intelligence when examining their relationships with external criteria.
