Biesanz, Jeremy C. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2010
The social accuracy model of interpersonal perception (SAM) is a componential model that estimates perceiver and target effects of different components of accuracy across traits simultaneously. For instance, Jane may be generally accurate in her perceptions of others and thus high in "perceptive accuracy"--the extent to which a particular…

Lee, Kibeom; Ashton, Michael C. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2004
We introduce a personality inventory designed to measure six major dimensions of personality derived from lexical studies of personality structure. The HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI) consists of 24 facet-level personality trait scales that define the six personality factors named Honesty-Humility (H), Emotionality (E), Extraversion (X),…

Ferrando, Pere J.; Lorenzo-Seva, Urbano; Chico, Eliseo – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2003
This article describes and proposes an unrestricted factor analytic procedure to: (a) assess the dimensionality and structure of a balanced personality scale taking into account the potential effects of acquiescent responding, and (b) correct the individual trait estimates for acquiescence. The procedure can be considered as an extension of ten…

Trobst, Krista K.; Ayearst, Lindsay E.; Salekin, Randall T. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2004
The present research examined the amount and kind of personality measured within four sets of personality disorder (PD) scales. Three samples of undergraduate students (Ns = 326, 537, and 617) completed at least one PD measure and a combined interpersonal circumplex model (ICM) and five-factor model (FFM) measure. The FFM dimensions were found to…

Johnson, John A. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2004
This study describes the relation between personality items' validities, defined as the items' correlations with acquaintance ratings on the Big 5 personality factors, and other itemmetric properties including ambiguity, syntactic complexity, social desirability, content, and trait indicativity. Five external validity coefficients for each item on…

Noller, Patricia; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1988
The Comrey Personality Scales were administered to 669 Australian advanced undergraduate students at the University of Queensland in 1984 and 1985. Factor analysis of results and results with other cultural groups indicate that the eight personality factors measured by the scales have considerable stability across cultural boundaries. (TJH)

Birenbaum, Menucha; Montag, Itzhak – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1986
The purpose of this study was to examine the location of Zukerman's sensation seeking (SS) construct in the personality domain as measured by Cattell's 16 personality factors (16PF). Results of the factor analytic study indicated that the global construct of sensation seeking is related to the broad personality factor of independence. (Author/LMO)

Maydeu-Olivares, Albert – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2005
Chernyshenko, Stark, Chan, Drasgow, and Williams (2001) investigated the fit of Samejima's logistic graded model and Levine's non-parametric MFS model to the scales of two personality questionnaires and found that the graded model did not fit well. We attribute the poor fit of the graded model to small amounts of multidimensionality present in…

McCrae, Robert R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1993
To assess cross-observer agreement on personality profiles, an Index of Profile Agreement and an associated coefficient are proposed that take into account both the difference between the ratings and the extremes of their mean. Data from the Revised NEO Personality Inventory for 250 peer ratings/self-reports and 68 spouse ratings/self-reports…

Marsh, Herbert W. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1985
This study examines the factor structure of response to the masculinity-femininity (MF) scale of the Comrey Personality Scales for males and females. The use of confirmatory factor analysis for testing hierarchical factor structures and factorial invariance is illustrated. The findings argue that MF is a multifaceted, hierarchical construct.…
