TL;DR: The genetic and environmental etiology of the five-factor model of personality as measured by the revised NEO Personality Inventory was assessed using 123 pairs of identical twins and 127 pairs of fraternal twins.
Abstract: The genetic and environmental etiology of the five-factor model of personality as measured by the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) was assessed using 123 pairs of identical twins and 127 pairs of fraternal twins. Broad genetic influence on the five dimensions of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness was estimated at 41%, 53%, 61%, 41%, and 44%, respectively. The facet scales also showed substantial heritability, although for several facets the genetic influence was largely nonadditive. The influence of the environment was consistent across all dimensions and facets. Shared environmental influences accounted for a negligible proportion of the variance in most scales, whereas nonshared environmental influences accounted for the majority of the environmental variance in all scales.

TL;DR: The authors showed that Revised NEO-PI scales are not simple-structured but do approximate the normative 5-factor structure, however, goodness-of-fit indices were not high.
Abstract: Despite the empirical robustness of the 5-factor model of personality, recent confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) of NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) data suggest they do not fit the hypothesized model. In a replication study of 229 adults, a series ofCFAs showed that Revised NEO-PI scales are not simple-structured but do approximate the normative 5-factor structure. CFA goodness-of-fit indices, however, were not high. Comparability analyses showed that no more than 5 factors were replicable, which calls into question some assumptions underlying the use of CFA. An alternative method that uses targeted rotation was presented and illustrated with data from Chinese and Japanese versions of the Revised NEO-PI that clearly replicated the 5-factor structure.

TL;DR: The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) as mentioned in this paper is a contemporary measure of 30 traits that define the five basic factors of normal personality, and several studies suggest that it has utility in the prediction of job performance.
Abstract: L'inventaire NEO Revise de la Personnalite (NEO-PI-R) est une mesure actuelle de 30 traits qui renvoient aux cinq facteurs de base de la personnalite normale. II a fourni des preuves de sa fidelite et de sa validite aussi bien dans des recherches theoriques qu'appliquees et plusieurs etudes montrent qu'il contribue a predire la performance professionnelle. Le domaine et les facettes du NEO-PI-R sont analyses avec quelques resultats issus de son application en psychologie des organisations.
The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) is a contemporary measure of 30 traits that define the five basic factors of normal personality. In both research and applied samples it has shown evidence of reliability and validity, and several studies suggest that it has utility in the prediction of job performance. The domain and facet features of the NEO-PI-R are discussed along with some issues in its use in industrial/organisational psychology.

TL;DR: S AD patients may represent a psychologically distinct subgroup of depressed patients-more imaginative, more emotionally sensitive and likely to entertain unconventional ideas than non-SAD patients, which may explain why individuals with SAD are more sensitive to and may amplify the mild dysphoria typically associated with winter months.

TL;DR: The results suggest that neurotically hostile individuals view others as distrustful, the world as threatening, and themselves as unable to cope, and the positive association between expressive hostility and heart disease may result partly from frequent and intense behavioral engagement and accompanying physiological arousal.
Abstract: Neurotic and expressive hostility from the perspective of the five-factor model of personality. Sixty-five male and 105 female students (mean age = 25.0 years) at a public university completed the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory, the revised NEO Personality Inventory, and measures of stress and depression. Correlations were computed between the hostility measures and all personality domains and facets. Profiles of participants classified into neurotic and expressive hostility groups were also produced using T scores based on normative samples. The results suggest that neurotically hostile individuals view others as distrustful, the world as threatening, and themselves as unable to cope. They experience frequent negative affect, including unexpressed anger. Expressive hostility predicts direct and positive engagement of the environment and others, but also a readiness to express anger in response to conflict. The lack of association between neurotic hostility and objective health problems may be due, in part, to an absence of exaggerated behavioral and physiological responses to stressors, whereas the positive association between expressive hostility and heart disease may result partly from frequent and intense behavioral engagement and accompanying physiological arousal.

TL;DR: Byravan and Ramanaiah as discussed by the authors made a strong case for the use of oblique rotation in the factor analysis of the l6PF primary scales and criticized Byravan et al. (1995) for using orthogonal rotation in their factor analysis.
Abstract: Su~?~map -This article provides a reply to Cattell's 1995 comments on some mech~dolo~~c~l issues related to Byravan and Ramanaiah's 1995 study and shows that their study \VJS methodologically sound. It was concluded that the results of Byravan and Ramanaiah's study were different from those of Cattell's 1995 factor analyses mainly due to the fact chat the former involved the Factor analysis of l6PF primary scales from the perspective of the five-factor model using Revised NEO Personality Inventory domain scales and Goldberg's 1992 scales as markers for the five major factors whereas the latter investigated the structure of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory facet scales From the perspective of the l6PF global scales. Cattell (1995) made two major criticisms of Byravan and Ramanaiah's (1995) study of the structure of the l6PF Fifth Edition from the perspective of the five-factor model of personahty. These criticisms along with our replies are presented below: 1. Cattell (1995) made a strong case for the use of oblique rotation in the factor analysis of the l6PF primary scales and criticized Byravan and Ramanaiah (1995) for using orthogonal rotation in their factor analysis of the l6PF scales. Strangely enough, orthogonal rotation was used in two factor analyses of the 16PF scales reported by Cattell (1995) so we wonder why oblique rotation was not used in those analyses. In our factor analyses of the 16PF scales, however, we used both varirnax and oblunin rotations and found essentially the same results as we stated in our original article. In fact, the correlations among the oblunin factors ranged from -.19 to +.I2 with a medan of -.04, indicating the factors were essentially orthogonal. Comparison of rotated factor-loading matrices obtained from the varirnax and the oblirnin rotations led us to the same conclusion. 2. Another criticism was that the results of Byravan and Ramanaiah (1995) might have been dstorted due to the use of two sets of markers for the five-factor model and the use of factor scales instead of the original marker scales in factor analysis. We used two sets of markers for the fivefactor model, namely, Goldberg's (1992) marker scales based on the taxon

TL;DR: Construct validity of Weinberger's Six-group Typology of Adjustment was investigated by testing the hypothesis that the six personality types have different personality profiles.
Abstract: Construct validity of Weinberger's Six-group Typology of Adjustment was investigated by testing the hypothesis that the six personality types have different personality profiles. The Weinberger Adjustment Inventory and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory were completed by 170 psychology undergraduates (84 men and 86 women). Results strongly supported the tested hypothesis.
