Study Notes
Personality Traits and their Cross-Cultural Replication
- Openness to experience includes facets like fantasy, aesthetic appreciation, and creativity.
- Emic approach is culture-specific, while etic approach is expert-driven and back-translation is used to check for meaning equivalence.
- Agreeableness and conscientiousness were added later to the Big-5 personality traits.
- Clinical and criminal screening involves nomothetic (population-based) and ideographic (individual-based) approaches.
- Cattell's Specification Equation aims to distill personality into a single number.
- Alternative lexical models were developed by factor analysis.
- The abridged Big-5 dimensional circumplex is a circular model that maps facets onto two dimensions.
- The Big-6 HEXACO model includes honesty/humility, explaining unaccounted variance in the Big-5.
- The Big-5 has comprehensive coverage, but dimensions are not entirely orthogonal and need theoretical updating.
- The Dark Triad encompasses narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, with subclinical levels existing in the general population.
- Narcissism includes grandiose and vulnerable facets, measured using tools like NPI and PNI.
- Psychopathy consists of primary and secondary traits, measured using Levenson’s Self-report Psychopathy Scale and MACH-4.
