Previous studies based on a variety of behaviour, temperament, and personality measures identified a pattern of over‐activity, impulsiveness, emotional instability, and aggressiveness in children who are prone to accidents. The present study is the first to study accident‐prone children by means of a comprehensive test for the assessment of the Five Factor model (Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC) (Mervielde & De Fruyt, 1999). 118 children, aged 6–15 years, who were hospitalized due to an accident‐related injury, were contrasted with 184 school‐children of the same age. Lower socio‐economic status was under‐represented in both groups. Children who were exposed to accidents had higher scores on the facets of energy, optimism, and non‐shyness (Extraversion domain), and lower scores on the facets of concentration and achievement striving (Conscientiousness domain). There was no indication of higher aggressiveness, impulsiveness, or emotional instability in the group exposed to accidents, and there were no gender‐by‐accident interactions. Results suggest that there is a relatively benign pattern of personality traits that is related to greater accident hazard in children. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC) is a developmentally appropriate parent-report measure of the Five Factor Model (FFM) that has been validated in several European languages but only recently in English. The English translation of the HiPIC was evaluated in an Australian context. Parent-rated HiPIC scores were obtained for 202 children (aged 5–14 years) via an online survey. Exploratory factor analysis indicated five factors that appeared reasonably congruent with the original Flemish HiPIC structure, though with some apparent differences particularly in regard to the Extraversion and Benevolence facets. A Procrustes targeted rotation was used to evaluate the congruence with the original Flemish structure. This indicated encouragingly high congruences for the overall model (.97), as well as high facet and factor congruence (.92–.99). These findings can be taken to reflect the robust nature of the HiPIC model, validating the instrument and more specifically confirming its applicability for use in practice and research investigating children's development and wellbeing in Australia.

Objective: to validate the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) in a Colombian clinical population and the gender differences. Participants: 341 patients between 18 and 60 years of age, 60% of women. Method: Confirmatory Factor Analyses (AFC) and concurrent validity whit PBQ-SF. Results: supported the existence of the 25 first-order factors. In terms of domains (second-order analysis), several organization models were posed. The results supported the model proposed by Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson, and Skodol (2012): c2(2661, n = 341) = 3350, RMSEA = 0.028 (90% CI: 0.025; 0.030), CFI = 0.99, NNFI=0.99. Men scored significantly higher than women on grandiosity, irresponsibility, manipulativeness, risk-taking, antagonism, and disinhibition. Women scored significantly higher than men on emotional lability and intimacy avoidance. The concurrent validity of PID with the PBQ-SF was high, giving support to the traits of personality disorder models of the DSM-5.

Zusammenfassung. Das Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC) ist ein Fragebogen zur Messung der Big Five Persönlichkeitsfaktoren bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Die Originalform ( Mervielde & De Fruyt, 1999 ) wurde auf der Basis von freien Elterninterviews konstruiert, um ein umfassendes Inventar zur Messung der Persönlichkeit von Kindern und Jugendlichen zu entwickeln. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde die psychometrische Qualität der deutschen Selbst- und Elternbeurteilungsversion des HiPIC in einer Stichprobe von 223 Heranwachsenden (11–15 Jahre) untersucht. Dabei ergaben sich für die Selbst- und Fremdbeurteilungsform zufriedenstellende Reliabilitäten. Die angenommene Fünf-Faktoren-Struktur ließ sich in beiden Beurteilermodi angemessen replizieren und erwies sich in Subgruppenanalysen als weitgehend invariant. Des Weiteren konnte eine hohe Kongruenz der Faktorenstrukturen der deutschen Version mit der flämischen Originalform, der französischen und auch der italienischen Version des Fragebogens nachgewiesen werden. Die zufriedenstellende Konvergenz zwischen den Selbst- und Elternbeurteilungen stützt die Validität des Verfahrens als Selbstberichtinventar für Heranwachsende.
