There are a million ways to be a woman and a million ways to be a man
Items designed to assess the same traits often vary in their gender differences. • Gender can be very accurately predicted from (multivariate) item sets. • But (univariate) trait scores cannot be accurately predicted from gender. • Cultures vary in traits’ gender differences. • Each gender can correspond to countless trait configurations. Gender differences in personality are typically summarised using broad trait domains. To acknowledge personal…
Exploring the stability of Hexaco‐60 structure and the association of gender, age, and social position with personality traits across 18 countries
OBJECTIVES: The present paper tests the cross-national stability of the HEXACO-60 structure across 18 countries from four continents. Gender and age differences across countries will be examined. Finally, this is the first study to explicitly analyze the relationships between the HEXACO and social position. METHOD: Ten thousand two hundred and ninety eight subjects (5,410 women and 4,888 men) from 18 countries and 13 languages were analyzed. Conf…
Dark Triad Traits, Social Position, and Personality
This research explores the Dark Triad traits in 18 cultures from Europe, America, Africa, and Asia. We examined the relationships among Dark Triad traits, as measured by the SD3, with gender, age, social status, and two personality models, HEXACO and Zuckerman’s alternative five factor model (AFFM). There were 10,298 participants (5,410 women and 4,888 men) with a mean age of 40.31 ( SD = 17.32) years old. Between 6% and 16% of the variance in th…
Age differences in the personality hierarchy
A confirmatory examination of age‐associated personality differences
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to examine age-associated personality differences using a measurement-invariant representation of the higher-order structure of the Five-Factor Model. METHOD: We reanalyzed the German NEO-PI-R norm sample (N = 11,724) and applied ant colony optimization in a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis setting in order to select three items per first-order factor that would optimize model fit and measurement invar…
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…
Is the genetic structure of human personality universal? A cross-cultural twin study from North America, Europe, and Asia
This study examined whether universality of the 5-factor model (FFM) of personality operationalized by the Revised NEO Personality Inventory is due to genetic influences that are invariant across diverse nations. Factor analyses were conducted on matrices of phenotypic, genetic, and environmental correlations estimated in a sample of 1,209 monozygotic and 701 dizygotic twin pairs from Canada, Germany, and Japan. Five genetic and environmental fac…
National Character Does Not Reflect Mean Personality Trait Levels in 49 Cultures
Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a “kernel of truth,” or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings of 3989 people from 49 cultures and compared them with the average personality scores of culture members assessed by observer ratings and self-r…
Carving personality description at its joints
We tested the hypothesis that there are three major prototypic patterns of personality description (resilient, overcontrolled, and undercontrolled) in a series of studies including adults' self‐descriptions on the Big Five and parents' Big Five and Q‐Sort judgments of their children, using both replicated cluster analyses and replicated Q‐factor analyses. The consistency of the prototypes across ages, judges, and methods was quantitatively measur…
The Non‐Evaluative Circumplex of Personality Adjectives
In judgments about personality, descriptive and evaluative aspects are ordinarily combined; separating them can be important both theoretically and practically. Study 1 showed that two similar descriptive factors can be found in analyses of personality terms, selected independently in English and in German and using different methods to control for evaluation. The factors relate to two pairs of independent axes suggested by previous work: Asserti…
Nature over nurture
Temperaments are often regarded as biologically based psychological tendencies with intrinsic paths of development. It is argued that this definition applies to the personality traits of the five-factor model. Evidence for the endogenous nature of traits is summarized from studies of behavior genetics, parent-child relations, personality structure, animal personality, and the longitudinal stability of individual differences. New evidence for intr…
Age differences in personality across the adult life span
Hierarchical subcomponents of the Big Five personality factors
An ideal structural representation of personality attributes would include more than just broad-bandwidth factors. Specific subcomponents help define broad factors while enhancing the fidelity of the representation. There has been no consensus with regard to the necessary specific subcomponents of the Big Five. This problem was addressed by analyzing 2 representative lexical data sets, one involving English adjectives and the other involving Germ…

Is self-enhancement healthy? Conceptual, psychometric, and empirical analysis
Whereas S.E. Taylor and J.D. Brown (1988) proposed that positive illusions foster mental health, C.R. Colvin, J. Block, and D.C. Funder (1995) presented empirical evidence that suggested the opposite: The extent to which self-ratings are more favorable than ratings by others (self-enhancement) is correlated with unfavorable personality traits (self-enhancement correlation). Our conceptual analysis shows that these propositions are not incompatibl…

The lexical approach to personality
We review research aimed at the development of a compelling taxonomy of personality‐descriptive terms. We identify five issues central to the construction of personality taxonomies and discuss the advantages and limitations of the lexical approach. Our review of research stimulated by this approach begins with Allport and Odbert's trait names, retraces the procedures that led to Cattell's personality factors, and summarizes contemporary work in E…
Fact and Fiction in Implicit Personality Theory
This article reports two studies, where the accuracy of implicit personality theory (IPT) was investigated using on‐line behavior counts as well as retrospective frequency estimates as standards of comparison Eight discussion groups, each comprising six members, were videotaped Their act frequencies with respect to 16 types of behavior were judged on‐line using two coding schemes, each one being applied by two independent raters Five other judges…
Retrospective estimates of act frequencies
Several authors have argued that memory-based reports about dispositional characteristics of people exhibit a correlational structure that is unrelated to the co-occurrences of pertinent on-line recorded behaviors. We hypothesize, however, that the empirical evidence, deemed to be in favor of this challenging hypothesis, is due to the neglect of act overlap among the behavior classes under investigation. The present study was conducted in order t…
