The “Personality, conscience and wellbeing” group focuses on the relationship between normal and deviant personality traits, recognition and response to environmental (social) emotional stimuli, and psychological/ physiological health statuses. The group is also interested in the cross-cultural comparisons of cognitive and behavioural styles in relation to individual differences.
 
The group investigates topics such as:

• Moral (conscience) related traits and emotional interaction: Agreeableness, narcissistic, and sensation-seeking traits and their relations with the recognition of different emotional clues expressed in faces, pictures, natural sounds and musical excerpts.
• Personality traits in the external to internal emotional interactions: Different perception of recognition of external emotions might couple or kindle the concurrent affective statuses, which might correspond with individual differences.
• Wellbeing modes related to cultural or spiritual values: Cultural comparisons of the personality involved in the emotional and behavioural responses to environmental stimuli or social events (public health and others), which might be fostered in the core or spiritual values of different cultures.

 
Group members have experiences in different research projects that cover personality structure and functions, emotional features of different modalities, their relationship with individual psychological (anxiety and depression) and physiological (cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous system-cerebral levels) wellbeing. The approach of the group is strongly cross-cultural.
