  • Considerations When Determining Similarity Between Traits and Skills

    Kate E Walton, Dana Murano et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2025

    Recent research has examined similarities and differences between traits and skills. It may be the case that traits and skills can be measured interchangeably with one providing little to no incremental validity over the other. However, methodological limitations constrain our ability to draw firm conclusions. Work in this area thus far has only examined self-reports and single-stimulus Likert items. We carried out two studies to try to determine…

  • Adjectives vs. Statements in Forced Choice and Likert Item Types

    Kate E Walton, Justine Radunzel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2021

    Our objective was to compare individuals' ability to intentionally make a positive impression when responding to a Five-Factor Model personality measure under adjective vs. statement and forced choice vs. Likert conditions. Participants were 1,798 high school students who were randomly assigned to either a condition receiving normal instructions or instructions to make a positive impression. We compared the groups' scores and validity estimates u…

  • Personality Traits Predict the Developmental Course of Externalizing

    Open AccessKate E Walton, Robert F Krueger et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2017

    The objective of the present study was to determine whether and how personality predicts the developmental course of externalizing problems, including antisocial behavior and substance dependence. In a large, population‐based longitudinal study ( N = 1,252), the 11 personality traits assessed by the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire were measured at age 17, and DSM diagnoses of adult antisocial behavior, alcohol dependence, and drug depe…

  • Not all conscientiousness scales change alike

    J J Jackson, Tim Bogg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2009Cited by: 18References: 4

    Previous research has shown that traits from the domain of conscientiousness tend to increase with age. However, previous research has not tested whether all aspects of conscientiousness change with age. The present research tests age differences in multiple facets of conscientiousness (industriousness, orderliness, impulse control, reliability, and conventionality) using multiple methods and multiple samples. In a community sample (N = 274) and …

  • Capturing Abnormal Personality With Normal Personality Inventories

    Open AccessKate E Walton, Brent W Roberts et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2008

    Correlational and factor‐analytic methods indicate that abnormal and normal personality constructs may be tapping the same underlying latent trait. However, they do not systematically demonstrate that measures of abnormal personality capture more extreme ranges of the latent trait than measures of normal range personality. Item Response Theory (IRT) methods, in contrast, do provide this information. In the present study, we use IRT methods to eva…

  • Personality traits change in adulthood

    Brent W Roberts, Kate E Walton et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2006Cited by: 5References: 31

    In a response to comments by P. T. Costa, Jr., and R. R. McCrae on the current authors' original article, the authors show that Costa and McCrae's writings on personality suggest a belief in immutability of personality traits. The authors agree with Costa and McCrae that new personality trait models that provide an accurate lower order structure of personality traits are needed and explain why the Revised NEO Personality Inventory is not the corr…
