TL;DR: Based on over 50,000 parental descriptors of children gathered in eight different countries, a combination of focus group sorting of descriptors in each country and factor analyses of instruments developed in four countries to describe children ages 3 to 12 years to select items for an instrument that would work well across countries to access personality.

TL;DR: Deviations across groups and from adult findings are noted, including the prominent role of antagonism in childhood personality and the high covariation between Conscientiousness and intellect.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the political values of the general public form a coherent system and that the source of coherence in political values can be found in the basic personal values (e.g., security, achievement, benevolence, hedonism).

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that political activism relates positively to self-transcendence and openness to change values, especially to universalism and autonomy of thought, a subtype of self-direction.

TL;DR: The Big Five Model was used to assess the role of personality traits in orienting voting choice across five European countries (n = 1288) and found that the Big Five were linked to party preference in theoretically consistent ways as discussed by the authors.
