Velikih pet plus dva : validacija skraćene verzije

Abstract

The principal aim of the study was to develop a short version of the Big Five Plus Two Questionnaire (VP+2-70). On the basis of correlations between the items contained in the integral version (184 items) and principal components of higher-order scales, seven 10-item scales were constructed. The construction of this questionnaire was conducted on a calibration sample of 2924 participants (56% women), aged 18–68, while factorial stability was examined on a validation sample of 802 participants (60% women), aged 18–60. Convergent validity was also examined on these samples, by examining correlations between the VP+2-70 scales and scales of the Big Five Inventory. On a sample of 374 university students, aged 19–33, relations between self- and peer-ratings on the VP+2-70 were examined. Criterion validity was explored by examination of relations between the VP+2-70 scales and behavioral indicators contained in the The Behavior Report Form – BRF questionnaire. This segment of the study was conducted on a sample of 205 university students, aged 18–29. The results point to satisfactory reliability as well as good convergent and criterion validity.
