    Psychological properties of situations: the applicability of the Riverside Situational QSort in the Estonian context
    (Tartu Ülikool, 2014) Elme, Liisalotte; Realo, Anu, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Sotsiaal- ja haridusteaduskond; Tartu Ülikool. Psühholoogia instituut
    The current study uses the Riverside Situational Q-Sort (RSQ v 3.15; Wagerman & Funder, 2009) in the Estonian student sample (n = 317), to investigate the applicability of the measurement tool in Estonia; the overall situational variability among the sample; and how the situational evaluations differ across the categories of situations. The results indicate that the tool can be used to measure subjective situational construals in a meaningful way on the Estonian student sample and that the situational evaluations can be meaningfully reflected on the basis of both subjective and objective situational categorizations.

    Relationships between behaviour, psychological properties of situations, and personality traits
    (Tartu Ülikool, 2014) Elme, Liisalotte; Realo, Anu, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Sotsiaal- ja haridusteaduskond; Tartu Ülikool. Psühholoogia instituut
    The current study examines relationships between the three components of the personality triad: behaviours, situations and personality traits. For that cause, the Riverside Situational QSort (RSQ v 3.15; Wagerman & Funder, 2009) and the Riverside Behavioural Q-Sort (RBQ v 3.11; Funder, Colvin & Furr; 2000; Furr, Wagerman & Funder; 2010) were translated into Estonian and applied to the Estonian student sample (n = 197) together with the Estonian version of NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO-PI-3; McCrae, Costa, & Martin, 2005) that was used to measure personality traits. The results firstly indicated, that the RBQ is a valuable measurement tool that is applicable in the Estonian context. Moreover, significant relationships between behavioural evaluations, psychological properties of different situations and the Big Five personality traits, were found. Also, situational properties more strongly associated with behavioural evaluations than did the personality properties of the participants.
