Abstract. Everyday problem-solving situations can be approached on an independent or interdependent basis. The current article investigated the moderating effects of openness to experience and self-efficacy on the relation between an independent versus interdependent problem-solving style and negative affect (stress, anxiety, depression, and neuroticism). Australian university students ( Ns = 399, 186, 337, and 248) and international academic researchers ( N = 199) took part in research studies examining the relations between personality, problem-solving-style, and mental health. Openness to experience moderated the association between problem-solving style and negative affect in all five studies. When openness was low, independent problem-solvers reported greater negative emotionality compared to interdependent problem-solvers. Further, the moderating effect of openness to experience on trait-based negative affectivity (i.e., neuroticism) was mediated by state-based negative emotional experiences of anxiety and stress. The moderating effect of self-efficacy appraisals was only statistically significant on specific anxiety about solving problems. Openness to experience seems to help alleviate the negative mental consequences of independent problem-solvers. These findings have implications for clinical practice with regard to building a therapeutic relationship and retaining clients.

It was predicted that those participants who experienced discontinuity (death, divorce, and separations) from their parent(s) in childhood and who had successful careers in adulthood would manifest more innovative than adaptive cognitive styles on the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory. The original research showed 61% of the sample members ( n = 41) experienced family discontinuity. Ninety percent ( n = 37) of the previous participants responded and showed 59% family discontinuity. Fifty-four percent in the follow-up study chose an alternative career path (counterstriving), the same percentage as in the original sample. When both family discontinuity and counterstriving were present, statistically significant innovation scores occurred. Family discontinuity in childhood and a successful career in adulthood are likely to be associated with high striving-motivation and an innovative (paradigm-breaking) problem-solving style.

The study aimed to determine the influence of problem-solving confidence and English achievement on the performance of fourth year students in physics. Specifically, it sought to find out whether English achievement significantly moderate the effect of problem-solving confidence on the performance in physics. Descriptive- predictive design was utilized in the study. The study was carried out in F. Bangoy National High School to sixty fourth year students. Mean and moderated regression were used as tools in the analysis of data. Results revealed that the level of problem-solving confidence in physics was moderate; the level of academic achievement in English was proficient and the level of performance of fourth year students in physics was also proficient. Further, English achievement significantly moderates the effect of problem-solving confidence on the performance of fourth year students in physics. Therefore, it was recommended to strengthen the connection of learning English and problem-solving ability through activities that encourage students to analyze and think critically in order to arrive at a correct solution.
