A study to adapt the big five inventory to Turkish (original) (raw)

[Factorial structure, validity, and reliability of the Turkish temperament and character inventory]

Türk psikiyatri dergisi = Turkish journal of psychiatry, 2005

To assess the factorial structure, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), a 240-item, self-report, paper-and-pencil test, and true-false format inventory based on Cloninger's psychobiological model of personality. It measures the four higher-order temperament dimensions and three character dimensions. Using samples consisting of 470 healthy volunteers and 544 psychiatric patients, psychometric features were explored. The internal consistency of the scales was good (Cronbach alpha coefficients between 0.68 and 0.84), but weak for Reward dependence (0.55) and Persistence (0.56). The factor structures of the temperament and character dimensions, explored separately, were in agreement with the hypothesized constructs, except for the scales NS1 (Novelty Seeking 1 = exploratory excitability) and SD4 (Self-directedness 4 -- self-acceptance). The present study also confirmed that the TCI scales were weakly related among themselv...

Adaptation and Validation of the Big Five Inventory-2-Short Form in a Sample of Moroccan Young Adults

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND EDUCATION RESEARCH STUDIES, 2023

A Person’s reactions and human behavioral information may be easily understood and anticipated if the personality traits underlying differences are correctly identified. The purpose of this study is to examine the adaptation and validation of the Big Five Inventory 2 Short Form (BFI-2-S) in the Moroccan context. This measure identifies the five major personality traits of persons: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, negative-Emotionally, and open-mindedness. The factor analysis confirms the five domains described by the BFI-2-S authors. The means and internal consistency of the five domains obtained are very satisfactory and close to those found in previous studies. The psychometric properties obtained from this study support the BFI-2-S's applicability to Arabic-speaking young adults in the Moroccan context.

The Five-Factor Personality Inventory as a Measure of the Five-Factor Model

Assessment, 2004

The lexically based Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) was correlated with the factors and facets of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) in Belgian (N = 265), American (N = 116), and Hungarian (N = 320) samples. Results were similar across the three cultures. Analysis of orthogonalized FFPI factors showed that three of them— emotional stability, extraversion, and agreeableness—showed a direct correspondence to their NEO-PI-R counterparts. Autonomy, however, was not clearly related to openness, and facet analysis suggested that it might be interpreted as a dominance factor. Better matches to NEO-PI-R conscientiousness and openness could be obtained by using vectors rotated 30° from the FFPI positions. Raw scale scores showed similar results. Researchers should not assume that all measures of the Five-Factor Model are qualitatively similar.

Big Five Personality Test for State Islamic Senior High School Students in Indonesia

2021

Personality is one of the important variables for predicting student academic success. The purpose of the research is to examine the Big Five personality test as a predictor on the academic achievement of State Islamic Senior High School students in Indonesia. This research used a quantitative method which used a survey of the Big Five Personality Test and learning achievement on 5 subjects. The subjects of this study were the 2145 sample students of 23 State Islamic Senior High School of Insan Cendekia (SISHS-IC) around Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that all dimensions of Big Five Personality traits; openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability have a significant effect as predictors of students' academic achievement. While in parts of each dimension, the most significant predictor of students' academic achievement is the emotional stability and openness to experience. These findings are very important for teachers and schools to pay much more attention to emotional stability and openness to experience as predictors of student academic achievement.

Psychometric properties of the IPIP Big-Five personality questionnaire for the Greek population

Health Psychology Research, 2015

Goldberg’s International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) big-five personality factor markers currently lack validating evidence. The structure of the 50-item IPIP was examined in two different adult samples (total N=811), in each case justifying a 5-factor solution, with only minor discrepancies. Age differences were comparable to previous findings using other inventories. One sample (N=193) also completed additionally another personality measure (the TIPI Short Form). Conscientiousness, extraversion and emotional stability/ neuroticism scales of the IPIP were highly correlated with those of the TIPI (r=0.62 to 0.65, P=0.01). Agreeableness and Intellect/Openness scales correlated less strongly (r=0.54 and 0.58 respectively, P=0.01). The IPIP scales have good internal consistency (a=0.88) and relate strongly to major dimensions of personality assessed by the two questionnaires.

Normative data and factorial structure of the Turkish version of the Temperament and Character Inventory

Comprehensive Psychiatry, 2009

Cloninger's dimensional psychobiological model of personality accounts for both normal and abnormal variation in 2 major personality components: temperament and character. Here, we examined the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) in a healthy Turkish population, obtaining normative data for the Turkish TCI. The study was conducted in healthy volunteers at (n = 683). The Turkish sample had significantly lower mean scores on Novelty Seeking and Reward Dependence and higher mean scores on Harm Avoidance than the American sample. The Turkish sample had significantly lower scores on Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness, and Self-Transcendence. Self-Directedness and Harm Avoidance, Cooperativeness and Reward Dependence, and Cooperativeness and Self-Directedness were intercorrelated. The Cronbach coeficients were between 0.60 and 0.85 on temperament dimensions, and between 0.82 and 0.83 on character dimensions. The lowest Cronbach coefficients were found in Reward Dependence (0.60) and Persistence (0.62). A principal axis factor analysis with a 4-factor solution revealed the highest loadings on Novelty Seeking and Harm Avoidance and relatively weaker loadings on Reward Dependence and Persistence. A 3-factor solution for character subscales indicated the highest loadings on Cooperativeness and Self-Transcendence. The factorial structure was consistent with Cloninger's 7-factor model of personality, and test-retest indicated a good stability of scores over time. The reliability and factorial validity of the Turkish version of the TCI are therefore supported. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Investigating the Effect of Big Five Personality Traits in Iranian EFL Bilingual Learners

International Journal of Language and Linguistics, 2013

The present study sought to find out whether big five personalities have any impact on Iranian EFL bilingual learners and if so, which type of personality can be more tangible on these learners. To meet the aims of this study, 93 male and female Iranian high school learners in 2groups were asked to participate in this study. Subjects were asked to fill five big questionnaires. Statistical analysis based on Mean scores, standard deviation and Multivariate Analyses (MANOVA) revealed: 1-There was significant difference among two groups in five big personality.2-Female bilingual learners were more extrovert than male bilingual learners.

The Five Factor Personality Inventory: Cross cultural generalizability

In the present study, we investigated the structural invariance of the Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) across a variety of cultures. Self-report data sets from ten European and three non-European countries were available, representing the Germanic (Belgium, England, Germany, the Netherlands, USA), Romance (Italy, Spain), and Slavic branches (Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia) of the Indo-European languages, as well as the Semito-Hamitic (Israel) and Altaic (Hungary, Japan) language families. Each data set was subjected to principal component analysis, followed by varimax rotation and orthogonal Procrustes rotation to optimal agreement with (i) the Dutch normative structure and (ii) an American large-sample structure. Three criteria (scree test, internal consistency reliabilities of the varimax-rotated components, and parallel analysis) were used to establish the number of factors to be retained for rotation. Clear five-factor structures were found in all samples except in the smallest one (USA, N ¼ 97). Internal consistency reliabilities of the five components were generally good and high congruence was found between each sample structure and both reference structures. More than 80% of the items were equally stable within each country. Based on the results, an international FFPI reference structure is proposed. This reference structure can facilitate standardized communications about Big Five scores across research programmes.
