TLDR
In this paper, data sets from seven original trait taxonomies from different languages, American English, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Italian, Czech, and Polish, are used for a cross-cultural study.Abstract:
Data sets from seven original trait taxonomies from different languages, American English, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Italian, Czech, and Polish, are used for a cross-cultural study. The taxonomic procedures, involving culling trait terms from the various lexicons and the construction of representative samples of trait terms, are briefly discussed. Factor structures, presumably Big Five structures, within these languages, based on ratings from an average of about 640 subjects on an average of approximately 430 trait variables per language, are used for comparison. Congruence coefficients are calculated for the corresponding factors in the different languages, based on their independent positions and on their positions after rotations, using the American English solution as target. In a relative sense, the congruences show replicability of the first four American English, Big Five factors in the other languages.read more

The Big Five Trait taxonomy: History, measurement, and theoretical perspectives.
Oliver P. John,Sanjay Srivastava +1 more
TL;DR: The Big Five taxonomy as discussed by the authors is a taxonomy of personality dimensions derived from analyses of the natural language terms people use to describe themselves 3 and others, and it has been used for personality assessment.

Between facets and domains: 10 aspects of the Big Five.
TL;DR: Findings indicate the existence of 2 distinct (but correlated) aspects within each of the Big Five, representing an intermediate level of personality structure between facets and domains.

Cultural Influences on Personality
Harry C. Triandis,Eunkook M. Suh +1 more
TL;DR: A large body of literature suggests that the Big Five personality factors emerge in various cultures, but caution is required in arguing for such universality, because most studies have not included emic (culture-specific) traits and have not studied samples that are extremely different in culture from Western samples.

TL;DR: The authors report the content of these personality dimensions and interpret them as a variant of Extraversion, defined by sociability and liveliness, but not by bravery and toughness.

An alternative "description of personality": the big-five factor structure.
TL;DR: The generality of this 5-factor model is here demonstrated across unusually comprehensive sets of trait terms, which suggest their potential utility as Big-Five markers in future studies.

The development of markers for the big-five factor structure
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of 100 unipolar terms for personality traits was developed and compared with previously developed ones based on far larger sets of trait adjectives, as well as with the scales from the NEO and Hogan personality inventories.

TL;DR: Shaver and Shaver as mentioned in this paper proposed a model and some cross-cultural data to understand the determinants of emotion in a multicomponent process and the central role of emotion.
