Individual differences in the study of human aggression

Abstract: Excessive concern for simplicity has often led us to underestimate the complexity of aggression. Over the years, several scales related to aggression have been identified and validated both on adults and on children. Ultimately, two main higher order dimensions, emotional responsivity and proneness to aggression, repeatedly emerged in a series of second-order factor analysis. These dimensions are rather similar to two of the big five factors of personality: neuroticism/emotinal stability and hostility/agreeableness, respectively. Several studies corroborate the plausibility of a higher level bidimensional conceptualization of aggression that, while preserving the heuristic validity of looking for more specific constructs of aggression, can link the field of aggression to the field of personality. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Mapping personality dimensions in the Big Five Model

Abstract: Cette contribution est centree sur les resultats de trois etudes realisees dans le cadre du modele de personnalite Big Five. La premiere etude montre l'emergence d'une version legerement modifiee des facteurs Big Five dans le lexique italien. La deuxieme etude examine la validite d'un nouveau questionnaire pour evaluer le modele en cinq facteurs. Dans la troisieme etude, le modele etait utilise comme une « boussole » pour situer dans l'espace multidimensionnel de la personnalite les differences interindividuelles associees a l'agression.
