We examined the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and metacognitions about smartphone use by conducting a latent profile analysis. Participants were 470 college students from a university in China, who completed the second version of the Big Five Personality Inventory
as well as the Metacognitions about Smartphone Use Questionnaire. Results showed that the Big Five personality traits could be divided into four latent classes: overcontrolled, contradiction, doubt, and resilience. The classes showed different relationships with positive and negative metacognitions
about smartphone use, with individuals in the overcontrolled and contradiction classes exhibiting more apparent negative metacognitions. The results support the importance of paying attention to the effects of neuroticism.

International audience ; The Australian governmental agencies reported a total of 149 million ha forest in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2010, ranking sixth in the world, which is based on a forest definition with tree height>2 meters. Here, we report a new forest cover data product that used the FAO forest definition (tree cover>10 % and tree height>5 meters at observation time or mature) and was derived from microwave (Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar, PALSAR) and optical (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, MODIS) images and validated with very high spatial resolution images, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), and in situ field survey sites. The new PALSAR/MODIS forest map estimates 32 million ha of forest in 2010 over Australia. PALSAR/MODIS forest map has an overall accuracy of ~95% based on the reference data derived from visual interpretation of very high spatial resolution images for forest and nonforest cover types. Compared with the canopy height and canopy coverage data derived from ICESat LiDAR strips, PALSAR/MODIS forest map has 73% of forest pixels meeting the FAO forest definition, much higher than the other four widely used forest maps (ranging from 36% to 52%). PALSAR/MODIS forest map also has a reasonable spatial consistency with the forest map from the National Vegetation Information System. This new annual map of forests in Australia could support cross-country comparison when using data from the FAO Forest Resource Assessment Reports.
