A Basic Bivariate Structure of Personality Attributes Evident Across Nine Languages
Here, two studies seek to characterize a parsimonious common‐denominator personality structure with optimal cross‐cultural replicability. Personality differences are observed in all human populations and cultures, but lexicons for personality attributes contain so many distinctions that parsimony is lacking. Models stipulating the most important attributes have been formulated by experts or by empirical studies drawing on experience in a very lim…
The manifestation of traits in everyday behavior and affect
A four-culture study of self-enhancement and adjustment using the social relations model
In the self-enhancement literature, 2 major controversies remain--whether self-enhancement is a cultural universal and whether it is healthy or maladaptive. Use of the social relations model (SRM; Kenny, 1994) might facilitate resolution of these controversies. We applied the SRM with a round-robin design in both friend and family contexts in 4 diverse cultures: the United States (n = 399), Mexico (n = 413), Venezuela (n = 290), and China (n = 22…
Relating Self-Concept Consistency to Hedonic and Eudaimonic Well-Being in Eight Cultures
Western theories suggest that self-concept consistency is important for well-being, but cultural psychologists have proposed that this relationship may be weaker in collectivistic or dialectical cultures. Hypotheses regarding the ability of self-concept (cross-role) consistency and short-term stability to predict hedonic and eudaimonic well-being across cultures were tested. College students in the United States, Australia, Mexico, Venezuela, the…
Cross-cultural generalizability of the Personality and Role Identity Structural Model (PRISM)
Cross-observer agreement and self-concept consistency across cultures
Within-individual variability in self-concepts and personality states
Need Satisfaction and Well-Being
According to Self-Determination Theory (SDT), satisfaction of needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness is a universal requirement for psychological well-being. We tested this hypothesis with college students in the United States, Australia, Mexico, Venezuela, the Philippines, Malaysia, China, and Japan. Participants rated the extent to which these needs, plus needs for self-actualization and pleasure-stimulation, were satisfied in various …
Self-concept consistency and short-term stability in eight cultures
Cultural Differences in Implicit Theories and Self-Perceptions of Traitedness
Cultural differences in implicit theories and self-perceptions of traitedness were examined in the United States ( N = 198), Mexico ( N = 257), the Philippines ( N = 212), and Japan ( N = 225). Participants in all four cultures endorsed beliefs about the longitudinal stability, cross-situational consistency, and predictive validity of traits. At the same time, Americans and Mexicans, more than Filipinos and Japanese, endorsed implicit trait or di…
Are cross-cultural comparisons of personality profiles meaningful? Differential item and facet functioning in the Revised NEO Personality Inventory
Measurement invariance is a prerequisite for confident cross-cultural comparisons of personality profiles. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was used to detect differential item functioning (DIF) in factor loadings and intercepts for the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (P. T. Costa, Jr., & R. R. McCrae, 1992) in comparisons of college students in the United States (N = 261), Philippines (N = 268), and Mexico (N = 775). About 40%-50% of th…
Cultural similarities and differences in perceived affordances of situations for Big Five behaviors
Only three personality factors are fully replicable across languages
Only three factors of personality description are fully replicable across languages
We tested the hypothesis that only 3 factors of personality description are replicable across many different languages if they are independently derived by a psycholexical approach. Our test was based on 14 trait taxonomies from 12 different languages. Factors were compared at each level of factor extraction with solutions with 1 to 6 factors. The 294 factors in the comparisons were identified using sets of markers of the 6-factor model by correl…
Prediction and cross-situational consistency of daily behavior across cultures
Culture, cross-role consistency, and adjustment
Trait and cultural psychology perspectives on cross-role consistency and its relation to adjustment were examined in 2 individualistic cultures, the United States (N=231) and Australia (N=195), and 4 collectivistic cultures, Mexico (N=199), the Philippines (N=195), Malaysia (N=217), and Japan (N=180). Cross-role consistency in trait ratings was evident in all cultures, supporting trait perspectives. Cultural comparisons of mean consistency provid…

A cross-cultural study of trait self-enhancement, explanatory variables, and adjustment
Implicit Theories and Self-Perceptions of Traitedness Across Cultures
From the trait perspective, traitedness, or consistency of behavior, is expected in all cultures. However, cultural psychologists argue that behavior may be more determined by traits in individualistic than collectivistic cultures. The authors investigated implicit theories and self-perceptions of traitedness in two individualistic cultures, the United States ( n = 342) and Australia ( n = 172), and four collectivistic cultures, Mexico ( n = 400)…
Investigating Implicit Trait Theories Across Cultures
Implicit trait and contextual theories encompass lay people's beliefs about the longitudinal stability (vs. instability) of traits; the cross-situational consistency (vs. variability) of behavior; the ability to predict (vs. not predict) individuals' behavior from their traits; the ability to infer traits from few behavioral instances (vs. the difficulty of doing so); and the importance of traits in understanding people (vs. the greater importanc…
Measuring individual and cultural differences in implicit trait theories
A new measure of implicit theories or beliefs regarding the traitedness versus contextuality of behavior was developed and tested across cultures. In Studies 1 (N = 266) and 2 (N = 266), these implicit beliefs dimensions were reliably measured and replicated across U.S. college student samples and validity evidence was provided. In Study 3, their structure replicated well across an individualistic culture (the United States; N = 249) and a collec…
Studying Personality Traits Across Cultures
Trait perspectives are dominant in the study of personality cross-culturally. We review the questions addressed by researchers who study personality traits across cultures, including, among others, whether traits are used in all cultures to understand persons and their behavior, the universality versus culture-specificity of traits, the validity of imported and indigenous measures of personality traits, and the meaningfulness of trait comparisons…
Are indigenous personality dimensions culture specific? Philippine inventories and the five-factor model
The authors addressed the culture specificity of indigenous personality constructs, the generalizability of the 5-factor model (FFM), and the incremental validity of indigenous measures in a collectivistic culture. Filipino college students (N = 508) completed 3 indigenous inventories and the Filipino version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R). On the basis of the factor and regression analyses, they concluded that (a) most Phili…
Trait Psychology in the Philippines
McCrae's proposal to designate a field of personality traits and culture, coupled with challenges to the trait concept by cultural psychologists, makes relevant a review of trait psychology in a collectivistic culture, the Philippines. Philippine evidence in support of the trait concept includes the following: (a) Filipinos have a rich lexicon of trait terms and use these terms to describe and understand others and their behavior, (b) traits may …
The Structure of Affect in a Non‐Western Culture
We investigated the structure of affect in the Filipino culture and compared our results to those in Western studies. Four samples of students ( n s = 397 to 530) rated their mood for today , the past week , or in general , using near‐comprehensive sets of Filipino mood adjectives. Results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a hierarchical model of affect and the cross‐cultural comparability of self‐report mood dimensions (i…

Identifying Cultural Differences in Items and Traits
The authors investigated the cross-cultural measurement equivalence of items in the English-language version of the NEO Personality Inventory, a measure of the five-factor personality model, in a different cultural context in which English is a language of instruction. The item responses of 432 Filipino and 610 American college students were analyzed. Three methods for detecting differential item functioning (DIF)-two based on item response theor…
Internal, external, and self-report structure of personality in a non-western culture
The authors explored the internal (similarity of meaning), external (peer nominations), and selfreport structure of personality with Filipino college students. Informants' natural language of personality in English and Tagalog provided a taxonomy as broad and differentiated, though not as dense, as an existing dictionary-based taxonomy (Peabody, 1987). The internal structure of personality was quite similar in the two languages, supporting cross-…

Cross-cultural generalizability of personality dimensions
The cross-cultural generalizability of personality dimensions was investigated by (a) identifying indigenous Philippine dimensions, (b) testing the cross-cultural replicability of the NEO 5-factor model (P. T. Costa & R.R. McCrae, 1992), and (c) relating Philippine and Western dimensions in Philippine and U.S. samples of college students. Filipino self-ratings (N = 536) on indigenous items were factor analyzed, and 6 Philippine dimensions were ob…
The Emic Strategy in the Identification and Assessment of Personality Dimensions in a Non-Western Culture
The rationale for, and steps for executing, an emic (culture-specific) strategy in the identification and assessment of personality dimensions in non-Western cultures is discussed. We argue that the emic strategy has been underused, and that it best precedes attempts to demonstrate cross-cultural(etic) links or generalities. Four steps in the emic strategy are described: (1) identification of emic concepts, (2) generation of culture-relevant item…
Culture, cross-role consistency, and adjustment
Trait and cultural psychology perspectives on cross-role consistency and its relation to adjustment were examined in 2 individualistic cultures, the United States (N=231) and Australia (N=195), and 4 collectivistic cultures, Mexico (N=199), the Philippines (N=195), Malaysia (N=217), and Japan (N=180). Cross-role consistency in trait ratings was evident in all cultures, supporting trait perspectives. Cultural comparisons of mean consistency provid…
Within-individual variability in self-concepts and personality states
Self-Described Traits, Values, and Moods Associated with Individualism and Collectivism
The authors tested individualism-collectivism (I-C) theory by comparing self-described traits, values, and moods of students in individualistic (U.S., n = 660) and collectivistic (Philippine, n = 656) cultures and in students within these cultures varying in individualism and collectivism. They also examined the cross-cultural generalizability of factor dimensions derived with Hui's I-C measure. U.S. and Philippine students' selfdescriptions of t…

Indigenous Personality Measures
After noting the need for indigenous scale construction efforts in the Philippines, the current article focuses on the development and current status of two multidimensional measures of Filipino personality constructs, plus two projects that are investigating indigenous Filipino personality structure. In a final section, we note apparent convergences between the personality dimensions identified and assessed by these four projects and consider ho…
The Cultural Context of Academic Motives
In a comparison of Filipino and American college students' self-reported academic motives, approval and self-improvement ranked higher for Filipino students and motives involving performance standards ranked higher for American students. Gender differences - men reported more assertive and competitive achievement modes, women stronger motives regarding performance standards -replicated across the two cultures, suggesting generalizable socializati…
The Effects of Language of Data Collection on Derived Conceptions of healthy Personality with Filipino Bilinguals
Using both free-response and ratings methods, we investigated the effects of language of data collection on healthy personality concepts obtained from Filipino bilinguals. We found substantial comparability in Filipino college students' healthy personality concepts as elicited by Tagalog (a native language)and English free-response questionnaires. Importance ratings of equivalent Tagalog and English characteristics for healthy personality were al…

Imposed-Etic and Emic Measures of Intelligence as Predictors of Early School Performance of Rural Philippine Children
Emic and imposed-etic strategies were applied to the assessment of intelligence in rural Philippine children. Emic (culture-specific) measures assessed children's "intelligence" as conceptualized by rural adults. We concluded that Western-type (imposed-etic) tests measure a concept of intelligence that only partially overlaps emic conceptions. The imposed-etic measures were better than the emic measures as predictors of school performance, which …

Filipino Personality Structure and the Big Five Model
In lexically based studies, we derived Filipino personality dimensions and related them to the Big Five model. In Study 1, Filipino high‐school and college students ( N = 629) rated themselves on a near‐comprehensive list of 861 Filipino (Tagalog) trait adjectives. In Study 2, Filipino high‐school and college students ( N = 1,531) rated 280 markers of dimensions identified in Study 1. Some students ( n = 473) also completed the NEO Five‐Factor In…
