| dc.description.abstract | The objective of the present study was to determine whether specified factors influenced the acceptance of feedback by participants (N = 113) in an operational developmental assessment center. Specifically, the relationship between participants' self-ratings of the five factors of personality and feedback acceptance was assessed. The effect of personality-variable-similarity between assessor and participant pairs on feedback acceptance was also investigated along with the impact of direction (positive or negative) and magnitude of the feedback. Results indicated that (a) feedback acceptance was multidimensional in nature; (b) magnitude, but not feedback direction, shared a significant, negative relationship with these dimensions; (c) extraverted individuals rated feedback as more comfortable, more insightful, and more accurate; (d) conscientious individuals rated feedback as more accurate; (e) agreeableness moderated the impact of magnitude on the perceived insight and the perceived accuracy of the feedback; and (f) assessor/participant extraversion similarity contributed to the participant's rating of the insight of the feedback beyond that accounted for by the participant's extraversion. | en |
