Validation of the Short Form of the Big Five Inventory

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo investigar si la motivación académica y los rasgos de personalidad predicen el bienestar de los cadetes de policía, a la vez que se analizaron diferencias en el bienestar según sexo y edad. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 411 cadetes con una media de edad de 24.08 años (DT = 3.18) pertenecientes a una institución policial estatal. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: el BFI (Big Five Inventory), EMA – M (Escala de Metas de Aprendizaje), MHC-SF (Mental Health Continuum – Short Form) y un cuestionario sociodemográfico. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron comprobar que los mayores predictores positivos del bienestar fueron extraversión (t = 3.412; ß = .157; p < .01); agradabilidad (t = 2.901; ß = .144; p < .01); responsabilidad (t = 3.851; ß = .195; p < .001) y metas en relación con el aprendizaje y el dominio de los conocimientos (t = 2.446; ß = .103; p < .05). De igual manera se halló que el único predictor negativo fue el rasgo de personalidad neuroticismo (t = -3.555; ß = -.184; p < .01). Asimismo, se encontró que existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la dimensión bienestar social (t(410) = 1.816; p <.05) entre hombres y mujeres. Finalmente, se halló que la dimensión bienestar psicológico variaba según edad (F(2,411); p < .05), donde el grupo de mayor edad presenta mayores niveles de bienestar psicológico. En cuanto al bienestar total (F (2,411); p < .05), se encontró que, a mayor edad, mayor es el bienestar total. En vista de los resultados obtenidos, puede afirmarse que tanto la personalidad como la motivación por el aprendizaje son variables que predicen el bienestar total de los estudiantes. Asimismo, se deja constancia que los niveles de bienestar varían en función del género y la edad.

Increased Activity

Social distancing measures have been implemented in many countries to limit the spread of COVID-19. Emerging literature reveals that fear of acquiring COVID-19 has detrimental psychological ramifications. However, it seems likely that social distancing will have a further negative impact on well-being. The focus of this study was therefore to investigate whether changes in behaviour as a result of social distancing would predict changes in well-being. Participants (n = 95) rated their level of well-being as it was both during social distancing and retrospectively one month before beginning social distancing. Participants also indicated how much time they spent engaged in various activities both during social distancing and one month before social distancing and nominated how important each of these activities was for them. These measures employed scales created specifically for the present study. In addition, participants completed the Big Five Inventory–2 Extra-Short Form and the nine-item version of the Personal Optimism and Self-Efficacy Optimism Scale. We found that affectivity–both positive and negative–decreased with increased engagement in meaningful activities and that affectivity increased with increased activity in general. While both sorts of activity appear to improve some aspects of well-being, it appears that meaningful activity regulates psychological homeostasis while busyness in general does not.

ABSTRACT: THE ROLE OF CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AND PERSONALITY TOWARD ONLINE CONSUMTIVE BEHAVIOR OF MILLENNIAL GENERATION WHO WANDER IN JAKARTA This study aims to determine the role of cultural intelligence and personality on the online consumptive behavior of the millennial generation who have migrated in Jakarta. This research is a survey research design with non-experimental research types and involves three measuring instruments consisting of the Cultural Intelligence Measurement Scale (CIMS) to measure cultural intelligence, the Big Five Inventory 2 Short Form (BFI-2S) to measure personality characteristics and Consumptive Behavior Scale to measure the tendency of consumptive behavior. This study involved 303 participants who were millennials who had migrated to Jakarta. The results of this study indicate that cultural intelligence has a positive and significant correlation with consumptive behavior, where the higher the cultural intelligence possessed, the more it will increase the consumptive behavior of the participants. In addition, the results of subsequent studies showed that openness, agreeableness, and extraversion had a negative and significant correlation with consumptive behavior, while neuroticism had a positive and significant correlation with consumptive behavior. This study provides supporting data that cultural intelligence and personality in migrants can lead to consumptive behavior.

Abstract. The other-rating version of the Big Five Inventory for Children and Adolescents (BFI-K KJ-F) serves to record the five basic personality traits of Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness to Experience via reference persons and it is an addition to the German-language self-assessment questionnaire for children and adolescents (BFI-K KJ; Kupper, Krampen, Rammstedt, & Rohrmann, 2019 ). To determine the psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire comprising 26 items, personality assessments of 258 reference persons (predominantly parents) of 9–16-year-old children and adolescents ( M = 11.66, SD = 2.04; 52% girls) are available. The reliability of the method could be substantiated by internal consistency analyses (Cronbach’s α = .70–.86 and McDonald’s ω = .71–.86, respectively) and a retest analysis ( rp,tt = .74–.90). The five-factor structure was supported by an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The analyses of age and gender, which were in conformity with literature, as well as the comparison of self- and other-rating, which predominantly showed moderate to high accordance, also speak in favor of validity. The other-rating version of the BFI-K KJ proves to be reliable and valid as well as economic.

Short Scale

This article demonstrates how the metaheuristic item selection algorithm ant colony optimization (ACO) can be used to develop short scales for cross-cultural surveys. Traditional item selection approaches typically select items based on expert-guided assessment of item-level information in the full scale, such as factor loadings or item correlations with relevant outcomes. ACO is an optimization procedure that instead selects items based on the properties of the resulting short models, such as model fit and reliability. Using a sample of 5,567 respondents from five countries, we selected a 15-item short form of the Big Five Inventory–2 with the goal of optimizing model fit and measurement invariance in exploratory structural equation modeling, as well as reliability, construct coverage, and criterion-related validity of the scale. We compared the psychometric properties of the new short scale with the Big Five Inventory–2 extra-short form developed with a traditional approach. Whereas both short scales maintained the construct coverage and criterion-related validity of the full scale, the ACO short scale achieved better model fit and measurement invariance across countries than the Big Five Inventory–2 extra-short form. As such, ACO can be a useful tool to identify items for cross-cultural comparisons of personality.

The Relationship

Research on the personality and its correlation to happiness found that personality is a strong predictor of happiness. Further studies also reveal that high self-esteem is found to be positively correlated with happiness. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between personality and happiness and specifically to examine how the correlation of both is mediated by\ self-esteem. This study hypothesises that personality correlates with happiness, and self-esteem mediate the correlation of personality with happiness. 118 participants of this study were adolescents to late adulthood in the ages ranged from 12 to 60 years. Data collected using Big Five inventory, personal self-esteem scale and mental health continuum-short form. The results show that the Big Five personality is correlated with both self-esteem and happiness. The result also proves that self-esteem mediates the relationship between the Big Five personality and the happiness.Key words: big five personality, self-esteem, happiness Abstract: Penelitian sebelumnya tentang kepribadian dan kebahagiaan menemukan bahwa kepribadian berkorelasi dengan kebahagiaan dan merupakan prediktor yang kuat terhadap kebahagiaan. Penelitian selanjutnya juga menemukan bahwa bahwa harga diri yang tinggi berkorelasi positif dengan kebahagiaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji hubungan antara kepribadian dan kebahagiaan dan secara khusus ingin menguji bagaimana korelasi keduanya dengan dimediasi dengan harga diri. Hipotesis penelitian ini adalah kepribadian berkorelasi dengan kebahagiaan dan harga diri menentukan korelasi kepribadian dengan kebahagiaan sebagai mediator. Partisipan pada penelitian ini sebanyak 118 orang yang merupakan populasi umum dalam kategori remaja sampai dewasa akhir dengan rentang usia 12- 60 tahun. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah big five inventory, skala personal self-esteem dan mental health continuum-short form. Hasil-hasil yang ditunjukkan dalam penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kepribadian big five berkorelasi dengan harga diri. Kemudian kepribadian big five berkorelasi dengan kebahagiaan. Sehingga, dapat dibuktikan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara kepribadian Big Five dengan kebahagiaan yang di mediatori oleh harga diri.

Abstract. The need for efficient personality inventories has led to the wide use of short instruments. The corresponding items often contain multiple, potentially conflicting descriptors within one item. In Study 1 ( N = 198 university students), the reliability and validity of the TIPI (Ten-Item Personality Inventory) was compared with the reliability and validity of a modified TIPI based on items that rephrased each two-descriptor item into two single-descriptor items. In Study 2 ( N = 268 university students), we administered the BFI-10 (Big Five Inventory short version) and a similarly modified version of the BFI-10 without two-descriptor items. In both studies, reliability and construct validity values occasionally improved for separated multi-descriptor items. The inventories with multi-descriptor items showed shortcomings in some factors of the TIPI and the BFI-10. However, the other scales worked comparably well in the original and modified inventories. The limitations of short personality inventories with multi-descriptor items are discussed.
