Big Six

The Big Five is a useful model of attributes now commonly used in cross–cultural research, but without the support of strong measurement invariance (MI) evidence. The Big Six has been proposed as a cross–culturally informed update, and the broader Big Two (Social Self–Regulation and Dynamism) draws on even more cross–cultural evidence. However, neither has been rigorously tested for cross–cultural MI. Here a Big Six inventory (36QB6) and measures of the Big Five and Big Two derived from it were tested and refined for cross–cultural usability in samples from 26 nations, divided into three subsets. Confirmatory factor analysis of the models in the first subset of nations demonstrated fit as strong in translation as typical personality measures achieve in their nation of origin (although poor per standard benchmarks). Items that performed inconsistently across cultures were removed, and alternates considered in a second subset of nations. Fit and invariance were improved for refined 30–item QB6, 25–item Big Five and 14–item Big Two measures in the third subset of nations. For all models, decrease in comparative fit index between MI levels was larger than .01, indicating lack of support for higher levels. Configural and factorial invariance were relatively stronger, compared to scalar and full. Copyright © 2014 European Association of Personality Psychology

Straipsnyje nagrinėjama vienos iš klasikinių paradigmų – bruožų teorijos (o konkrečiau, Didžiojo penketo modelio) – ieškojimai šiuolaikinėje asmenybės psichologijoje. Šiandien nemažai tyrimų, apimančių ir asmenybės kintamuosius, atliekama remiantis Didžiojo penketo modeliu. Nepaisant to, šis modelis vertinamas kontroversiškai. Vieni autoriai pabrėžia Didžiojo penketo modelio pranašumus (empirinis pagrįstumas, patvirtinimas tarpkultūriniais tyrimais, individualių skirtumų stabilumas ir modelio praktinė vertė), kiti vardija jo trūkumus (teorinio pagrįstumo nepakankamumas, išskirtų faktorių ortogonalumo klausimas, tarpkultūrinių tyrimų problemos, abejonės dėl prognostinės modelio vertės). Aktyviai ieškoma alternatyvių, tobulesnių už Didįjį penketą modelių. Vis dėlto argumentų už Didįjį penketą kur kas daugiau negu prieš: nepaisant kritikos ir bandymų ieškoti naujo, tinkamesnio modelio, Didysis penketas šiuo metu yra vienas realiausių pretendentų tapti vieningai pripažįstama asmenybės teorija. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: asmenybės bruožai, Didysis penketas, Penketo faktorių modelis.THE BIG FIVE: PRO ET CONTRAAntanas Kairys SummaryThe field of the personality research is very active these days; probably more research is being conducted than ever. Most of the research studies are conducted referring to the Big Five model. Nevertheless, this model is controversial. Some researchers emphasize the merits of the Big Five model and the others name the shortcomings of the model. The main merits of the Big Five model are: empirical validity, cross-cultural validity, stability of individual differences and practical model value. Still the Big Five model receives criticism. The main critiques are: discussions about lexical hypothesis, orthogonality of factors, problems in cross – cultural research and prognostic value of the Big Five model. Despite the debates, nonetheless, the strongest arguments are for Big Five model. There is more empirical evidence still difficulties arise because of the research procedure or method inaccuracy. Most of the researchers confirmed that it is complicated to extract less than five factors in many research data. Five factors is the optimal number. There also have been determined many associations between Big Five traits and other mental / psychological phenomena. For a long time Big Five was only the research model, but presently initial theoretical interpretations were offered – R. R. McCrae and P. T. Costa Five Factor Theory also D. P. McAdams and J. L. Pals New Big Five. This was a substantial sally – Big Five has a potential to become the real personality theory, but there are still some problems left unsolved – extracted factor relevance to the individual in large samples is unclear, newly posed statements about personality structure lack empirical evidence. Alternative models to the Big Five model are offered: Biggest One, Big Two, Giant Three, HEXACO and Big Seven. Presently alternative models are not in competition with Big Five. Perhaps more promising is a HEXACO model with its theoretical interpretations. Alternative models to Big Five model play another important role – they encourage cross-cultural research, the search of the neurological correlates. Thus Big Five is very dynamic field of personality research, pretending to become very important and influential personality theory. Herewith it is obvious: there is an essential challenge against Big Five model– whether it will become one or not? Establishing Big Five or other close models’ theoretical interpretations give hope, but the final result is still to be expected.Key words: personality traits, Five Factor Model, Big Five.

We report solutions for one through six components for self-ratings (N = 559) on 449 familiar English personality-descriptive adjectives (see Lee & Ashton, 2008 ). The first unrotated component mainly contrasted desirable with undesirable characteristics. The varimax-rotated two-component solution contained dimensions closely resembling the Social Self-Regulation and Dynamism constructs of Saucier et al. (2014) . The three-component solution contained dimensions closely resembling the Affiliation, Dynamism, and Order constructs of De Raad et al. (2014) . In the four-component solution, an Emotional Stability dimension emerged, absorbing some variance from dimensions of the three-component solution. The five-component solution added an Intellect/Imagination/Unconventionality (Openness) component, and thus resembled the classic Big Five structure (e.g., Goldberg, 1990 ). In the six-component solution, the variance of the Big Five Agreeableness and Emotional Stability components was reorganized, producing components corresponding to HEXACO Agreeableness and to rotated variants of HEXACO Emotionality and Honesty-Humility. Solutions based on peer ratings (N = 303) were generally similar to those based on self-ratings, but showed a much larger first unrotated component.

The Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire (NPQ) is an experimental, structured, nonverbal measure of 16 personality traits. Its items lack verbal content and, therefore, the inventory is useful for cross‐cultural research. Our goal is this research was to select a subset of the NPQ items to form a new nonverbal questionnaire based on the Five‐Factor Model of personality. We describe the construction of the Five‐Factor Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire (FF‐NPQ), and present data on its psychometric properties. These data include scale internal consistencies, intercorrelations, convergences with verbal measures of the Big Five factors, discriminant validity correlations, correlations with peer ratings, and ability to predict socially important behaviour criteria such as smoking and alcohol consumption. In a second study, we report on the psychometric properties of the FF‐NPQ in an independent sample of respondents from seven different countries. The utility of the new nonverbal inventory for cross‐cultural research is discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Internal And External Validity

In this paper we present domain-specific measures of academic and social self-regulation in young adults. We base our scales on Baltes and colleagues’ Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC) model, and establish the factor structure of our new measures using data collected from a sample of 152 college students. We then compare the predictive validity of our scales to that of a domain-general version of the original SOC questionnaire. Our results support the internal and external validity of the academic SOC scale, although support for the social SOC scale is more tentative than support for our academic measure. We discuss these scales as useful supplements to the existing SOC questionnaire.

Abstract In the present research, we replicate and extend previous findings on the relations between human values and bright\dark traits of personality, using the functional theory of human values (Gouveia, 2013). Specifically, we assessed which dark traits are associated with human values and whether the dark traits explained variance in values beyond the bright traits (Big Five). While prior research has investigated the relations between the three sets of constructs mainly in Western countries, we tested whether the findings hold in Brazil (N = 819). Although values are defined as positive constructs, several value subfunctions were positively correlated with the dark traits (e.g., excitement values with narcissism), while other relations were negative. Controlling for participants' age and gender, hierarchical regressions further revealed that dark traits explain variance in values beyond bright traits, although overall bright traits were more strongly associated with values than dark traits. Together, our findings replicate previous research. Implications for our understanding of the Dark Triad and cross-cultural research are discussed.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Zusammenfassung: An einer Stichprobe von 115 Erwachsenen wurden fünf Hypothesen zur Struktur von Emotionen und zu den Beziehungen zwischen Emotionen und Persönlichkeitseigenschaften überprüft. Die umfangreiche Batterie von Messvariablen umfasste: 3 Verfahren zur Messung der Big Five; das Trierer Inventar zur Verhaltenskontrolle zur Messung des Big Six-Faktors “Hedonismus/Spontaneität”; 7 Skalen von Watson und Clark (1992) sowie 12 neu entwickelte Skalen zur differenzierten Erfassung von Emotionen (in Anlehnung an Davitz, 1969 ). Es wurde eine hierarchische Struktur der Emotionen mit den beiden orthogonalen Faktoren 2. Ordnung “negative Affektivität vs. innere Harmonie” und “Aktiviertheit” sowie den vier Faktoren 1. Ordnung “Missbefinden”, “freudige Aktiviertheit”, “Ängstlichkeit” und “Verärgerung” ermittelt. Das von Watson und Tellegen (1985) postulierte Circumplexmodell der Emotionen ließ sich nicht bestätigen. Zwischen den Big Six sowie den beiden Faktoren 2. Ordnung “Seelische Gesundheit” und “Verhaltenskontrolle” und den Emotionen zeigten sich zum Teil enge Zusammenhänge. Diese wurden vor dem Hintergrund zweier theoretischer Grundpositionen diskutiert.
