3. Did the authors find main effects? In other words, are there significant correlations between stressors and CWBs?
4. Did the authors find moderator effects? In other words, did conscientiousness, agreeableness, or negative affectivity interact with stressors in predicting CWBs?
5. What does this research mean in a practical sense? In other words, how can organizations or I-O psychologists use the results of this research to improve the effectiveness of organizations or the well-being of employees? (Hint: the authors have a few suggestions in a paragraph with the heading "Practical Implications")
6. How can you relate this to your own work or life experiences? Think about what you know of yourself as a person and how you react to stressors at your job or in your life. Do you have any examples of instances where you were stressed and wanted to engage in negative behaviors as a result? How might your personality have factored into whether or not you engaged in those behaviors?
