Personality psychologists study how individuals…
• Work with others, and even more – Play, love, and bond (teams, families, …)
• Achieve complex and long-term goals• Savor and manage emotions when we
face – Success or failure (pride)– Opportunities/rewards or risk (excitement)– Stress and adversity (fear, anxiety)
![Page 9: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Personality psychologists have identified…
• Individual characteristics that – Drive individual well-being (satisfying life)– Predict “success” at school & work (grades, $$)– Foster close, satisfying relationships (teachers)
• Our findings show they– Have some temporal consistency (reliable) but– Also malleable through the environment
• Today: can we organize these characteristics– Into a taxonomy with content domains and facets
• How can we measure them?
![Page 10: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Overview: Three Questions
• What should we measure?– What are the major content domains? Big Five
• How should we measure it?– Questionnaires; issues with verbal reports– Data sources: self, parents, teacher – Construct validity: Prediction of life outcomes
• When should we measuring them?– What age groups are measured? In what
context?
![Page 11: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Question 1
• What should we measure?– What are the major content domains?– 30 years ago, personality researchers looked at
long bewildering lists of characteristics – Like the ones Charles Fadel showed us– Here’s another much shorter one

Taxonomy: Five Psychosocial Systems and Tasks of Living
• Openness: Exploration– Interests
• Conscientiousness: Self-regulation– Standards
• Engagement/Extraversion: Approach– Rewards/gains
• Amity/Agreeableness: Belonging – Close bonds/social support
• Emotional stability: Coping– Adversity: Failures/losses/punishments
![Page 20: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Five Reasons Why the Big 5 “Stick”
1. Relatively independent of IQ
2. Found by many independent investigators
3. Universal? Surprise: Same five domains across cultures and language communities
4. Replicate: Hallmark of good science
5. They work: Predict important outcomes
Still, you may find the Big Five a bit odd/unfamiliar Like “Green eggs and ham.” Dr. Seuss:
“You do not like them. So you SAY.
Try them, try them, and you may.”
![Page 21: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Question 2: How to measure?
In children and adolescents:• Gold standard was behavior in specific tasks • Delay test: objectively recorded in minutes
– Too specific (one-shot); impractical
• Observational measures: People who have observed child across situations and time– Parent and Teacher reports– Peer nominations; Self-reports
• Considered “subjective” measures – Because scaling done by human judges but – May better reflect natural range of behavior– And predict important outcomes (doing it right?)
![Page 22: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Subjective Ratings of OpennessOriginal, curious, imaginative, complex
Correlate with:Better performance on creativity testsInterest and success ($$) in investigative and artistic careersUnconventional attitudes (and hair)Intense interest/curiosityBored is worse than poor
Lower on these skills
![Page 23: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Openness:Exploration System
• Interest, imagination, aesthetic reactions• Mental states, experiential life (oops, cognitive)• Manifestions in kids:
• curiosity, “pretend” play, imaginary friends
• Functions: very 21st century– Flexible adaptation to changing environments– Innovation through learning– Critical for change and growth (Barbie, age 45)

Questionnaire Method and Items
• History: Q-sorts, like one-on-one interviews
Slow, inefficient; big interviewer effects
• Abbreviated to questionnaire method: efficient
Items and response format are fixed; limited
• Research on best items (John & Robins, 1993)
Concrete and observable better than abstract
“I like to go to large noisy parties”
Neutral (descriptive) better than evaluative
“I am no good at social interaction”
Short, simple, affirmative statements better
Avoid long, complex compounds and negations
![Page 29: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Big Five Inventory (BFI): Self-report
Instructions: Here are a number of characteristics that may or may not apply to you. For example, do you agree that you like to spend time with others? Please write a number next to each statement to indicate the extent to which you agree with that statement.
I am someone who… • ______ Is talkative• _____ Is helpful and unselfish with others• _____ Does a thorough job• _____ Is relaxed, handles stress well • _____ Is curious about many different things• _____ Is easily distracted• _____ ….

Big Five Inventory (1991)Items: Grade 5 reading level (age 10)Short phrases (better than single adjectives)
“Keeps working until the task is finished”“Likes to think, play with ideas”“Remains calm in tense situations”
Rate on a 5-point scale“Yes, that’s me!” versus “No way, I don’t do that”1=“Disagree strongly”; 5=“Agree strongly”
PsychometricsRetest reliability high over 3-6 months Validated across self and observer ratings
Large data baseTranslated and adapted into 30 languagesCompleted by 2 million people (about 10 min)
![Page 31: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Reliability and Construct Validity
• Reliability is about replicability: • Can we reproduce the same test scores
across equivalent measurements? Deals with random error.
![Page 32: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Reliability and Construct Validity
• Validity addresses whether test scores measure what we intended, it’s about the meaning. Deals with systematic errors.
• Convergent validation across data sources Multi-method design
• Do different judges agree on their ratings of the target person, like 360 degree assessments in business world
• Round Robin design: everybody rates self and each of the other group members
![Page 33: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Observer ratings: Mostly idiosyncratic and biased?
• High agreement about the target among observers• Substantial agreement between self and consensual
observer rating– Correlations between .50 and .70, that is:– Improvement from chance prediction (50:50) to odds from
75:25 (3/4 correct) and 85:15 (6/7 correct)
• Findings vary by– Big Five domain (Highest agreement for E)– Length and type of acquaintanceship
• Conclusion: Subjective ratings are NOT random or idiosyncratic but reflect individual differences that can be observed and rated consensually
![Page 37: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Other Types of Validity Evidence• Concurrent criterion validity: High C research Ss!
Arrival times (5 min. earlier)
Spend more time on the rating task
Complete more longitudinal segments (over 4 years)
• Predictive validity: Predicting future outcomesAddresses causality issue (George et al., 2011):
C at age 21 (in college) predicts more stable marriages
at 52 and financial security at 70
• Value of longitudinal studies Ultimate outcomesFriedman et al.: Terman boys study mortality
Hampson, Goldberg, et al. (2006, 2009): Hawaiian kids
Teacher ratings predict health outcomes in middle age
![Page 38: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Extensive research on potential problems and biases with ratings
• Detect random responding (a few don’t read the items)• Correct acquiescence (nay-sayers vs. yeah-sayers)
– Esp. in 10-13 olds (Soto & John, 2008, 2009)• Minimize impression management/social desirability
– Decades of research (e.g., Paulhus & John, 1989)– Authenticity: Most people want to be themselves/real,
rather than “great” (Swann, 1989)– Items: descriptive and neutral, not evaluative
• Control for self-deception: Use multiple data sources– Self and teacher/parent ratings
• Kids under 10: Too young for questionnaire self-reports– Use individual interviews, puppet interview for 4-8
![Page 39: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Part 3. When should we measure?
• Two critical school transitions– Into school and middle childhood: Learning
the “good student” identity: A, C, and ES up– Getting through adolescence: Learning the
skills to form an adult identity and launch into adult world
• General “typical” developmental trends– Versus individual trajectories

Limitations: So much we do not know
• Most research cross-sectional– Different kids at different ages (hard to compare)
• But we need longer-term longitudinal research– Study same kids over time: map individual trajectories
• Much of the research conducted in– USA, England, Germany, and Scandinavia– Now Brazil!
• But we need a true cross-country effort • We’ve learned much about “subjective” measures• No longer scary (green eggs with ham) but more to do• Measurement issues in comparing groups/nations

A Hierarchical Measurement Model: 5 Domains and 15 Facets
Big Five can be too broad
Need one level lower in hierarchy: facets
Big 5 x 3 Specific Facets = 15 Concepts
Incorporates/consistent with OECD report
Self-reports for ages 10-18• 20 min. per student: 45-60 short BFI items• 3 (or 4) items for the 15 concepts
Teacher reports for ages 5 to 12 (or 18)• 5 hours (300 min) for class with 20 students• 15 min per student: Matching 45-60 items
Parent reports? Ideal to get for all ages…

Some Specific Skills to Learn (8th Grade)
1. Help direct the discussion but don’t derail it (Make notes about issues you’d like to come back to later)
2. Respond to each other (Not just the teacher)
3. Stay curious and open to new ways of thinking (You don’t have to know “the right answer,” and there may not even be one.)

What should we measure?
• Start with very specific skills?– Unlimited numbers– Complex– Highly contextualized– Often age specific

Big Five: Broad domains of social-emotional differences
• Some brief (rushed) background!!• Let’s start with Openness, which you will find
easy to recognize• Because you HERE, at this time, far away from
home, in part because you are high in O• E.g., you like to experience other cultures, try
foods that are new to you, you are interested in ideas, willing to try out new or different ideas that you might not agree with or that challenge your own views
![Page 61: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
“Construct Validation”
• Generalizability (convergence) across different data sources, such as– Teacher, Parent, and Self-report
• Hypothesis tests: Does the measure predict expected behavior in specific settings?– C Arrival time in minutes– C Time spent working on task – C Assessments completed in longitudinal study (ouch!)
• Discriminant validity—previous examples – C and O Good grades – C and A Better conduct

During early school years (middle childhood)
• Transition from preschool into the first grades must be very important
• On average, children acquire increasing skills related to
• Agreeableness• Conscientiousness• Emotional stability • Bot not all kids show those gains, and follow
different trajectories
![Page 66: Big Five Personality Taxonomy: Conceptualization and Psychological Measurement Oliver P. John University of California, Berkeley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98d3/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Part 3. When should we measure?
• General “typical” developmental trends– Versus individual trajectories
• During transitions, start and end point, and trajectories differ sharply across kids– Like onset and end of physical growth spurt
• Individual child: Start ahead or fall behind? • Two critical school transitions
– Into school and middle childhood: Learning the “good student” identity: A, C, and ES up
– Getting through adolescence: Learning the skills to form an adult identity and launch into adult world
