With a group of amateur chess players (n = 100), the current study addressed two interrelated aims. First, we assessed whether the three broad PEN personality factors (psychoticism, extraversion, and neuroticism), and emotion regulation traits (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) differentiated chess players from the general population. Second, we compared the association of domain knowledge and personality / emotion traits with chess skill. The main findings indicated that chess players scored lower in neuroticism and higher in expressive suppression compared with the general population. Moreover, chess knowledge related in a greater extent with chess skill than personality / emotion regulation traits, even though extraversion explained additional variability in chess skill. Overall, the findings suggest that non-ability traits may be influential in the selection of the chess environment. Besides, the findings corroborate the stronger impact of cognitive ability than personality traits on intellectual performance found in other domains.This research was done with the support of the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Social Work at the University of Lleida and the County Council of Lleida (Diputació de Lleida, Grant ID: 2017-011- 3344800000). This research was performed within the Catalonian Consolidated Research Group SGR 00008 in the 2017-2019 period. The cooperation of all chess players who participated in this study is highly appreciated.Elsevier2021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2021.110909http://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/71307reponame:Repositori Obert UdL instname:Universitat de Lleida (UdL)InglésReproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2021.110909Personality and Individual Differences, 2021, vol. 179, 110909cc-by (c) Angel Blanch, Anton Llaveria, 2021info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/oai:repositori.udl.cat:10459.1/713072026-06-24T12:42:17Z
