It is argued that if we compute self-other agreement on some personality traits then we possess no or very little information about the individuals who are the targets of this judgment. This idea is largely based on two separate ways of computing self-other agreement: trait agreement (rT ) and profile agreement (rP ), which are typically associated with two different trait-centered and person-centered approaches in personality research. Personality traits of 4115 targets from Czech, Belgian, Estonian, and German samples were rated by themselves and knowledgeable informants. We demonstrate that trait agreement can be partialled into individual contributions so that it is possible to show how much each individual pair of judges contributes to agreement on a particular trait. Similarly, it is possible to decompose agreement between two personality profiles into the individual contributions of traits from which these profiles are assembled. If normativeness is separated from distinctiveness of personality scores and individual profiles are ipsatized, then mean profile agreement rP becomes identical to mean trait agreement r T . The views that trait-by-trait analysis does not provide information regarding accuracy level of a particular pair of judges and profile analysis does not permit assessment of the relative contributions of traits to overall accuracy are not supported.

Práce představuje současný psychologický přístup k dětem s ADHD/ADD, který je charakterizován několika tendencemi: 1. k diagnóze postačuje typické chování 2. poruchy chování jsou často chápány jako varianta chování v rámci normálního rozložení 3. vedle specifických psychoterapeutických metod nabývají na významu výchovné postupy uplatňované u dětí bez specifických poruch chování 4. zvyšuje se význam rodičů jako nejvýznamnějších preventistů a -terapeutů- ADHD.

The article introduces present psychological approach to children with ADHD/ADD, which is characterised by several tendencies: 1. Typical behaviour is sufficient for diagnosis. 2. Behavioural disorders are considered as a variation of behaviour within normal distribution. 3. Besides specific psychotherapeutic methods, educational methods gain an importance in children without specific disorders of behaviour. 4. The importance of parents is increased as the most important preventive persons and -therapists- of ADHD.

AIM: Several studies have assessed the association between personality traits and metabolic outcomes in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). The aim of this observational single-visit study was to investigate whether specific personality traits were related to the degree of metabolic control/diabetes duration in adult T1DM patients. METHOD: Data were collected from 56 adults (40 men) with T1DM treated in a tertiary care center. "Big Five" personality traits were assessed using the NEO-Five Factor Inventory questionnaire. Several variables were obtained from the insulin pumps, glucometers and blinded continuous glucose monitoring system. RESULTS: All personality traits but neuroticism (low level of the trait) showed average intensity. Agreeableness was associated with most variables from CGMS data. Higher conscientiousness was associated with longer diabetes duration. Higher neuroticism was correlated with greater glycemic variability (GV), while high Extraversion was associated with lower GV. Lower Openness was associated with prolonged time in clinically significant hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggest that personality traits manifest in individual approach to diabetes management and emotion regulation, translating also into the attitude to treatment. On the other hand, T1DM patients' overall trait scores were consistent with healthy nonpsychiatric norms, which debunks myths and stereotypes suggesting that chronic disease is usually associated with psychopathology.

OBJECTIVE: To compare persons with epilepsy (PWE) to those with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) on measures of depression, anxiety, and alexithymia subscales (i.e., difficulty identifying emotions, difficulty describing emotions, and external-oriented thinking). MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, 235 epilepsy patients and 90 patients with PNES were evaluated between 2012 and 2020 at the Northeast Regional Epilepsy Group. These patients had completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), The Center for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression Scale (CES-D) and The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Background information was collected regarding work/student/disability status at the time of the evaluation history of psychiatric diagnosis; psychological trauma; and involvement in psychotherapy either at the time of the evaluation or prior. RESULTS: Significant differences between PWEs and those with PNES were found not only in historical data (e.g., Psychiatric History, History of Trauma, and History of Therapy) (p < .001) but also on measures of Depression (p = .002) and Anxiety (p < .001). ANOVA analysis also revealed significant differences in the distribution of the TAS-Total score, TAS-Describing emotions, and TAS-Identifying emotions. Using logistic regression (stepwise model) the optimal set of predictors for a differential diagnosis of epilepsy and PNES was combination of TAS-Identifying emotions score, history of psychological trauma, and history of therapy. The accuracy of the prediction was determined to be 80.2 %. CONCLUSIONS: Although higher alexithymia rates are present in PNES and PWEs, clinicians may find a combination of TAS-Identifying Emotion score, history of trauma, and history of psychotherapy useful in supporting a differential diagnosis. Also, a subgroup may exist among those with PNES with high levels of alexithymia, depression, and anxiety that may require a different treatment approach focused on addressing difficulties in identifying and describing their emotions and their other symptomatology.
