Abstract

Abbreviated measures of personality have the promise of providing concise measurements of the broad domains. Nonetheless, few abbreviated instruments assess the lower-order traits within these models. The Five-Factor Model Rating Form (FFMRF) is one brief instrument that assesses 30 lower-order facets. Given a tradeoff of abbreviated measures is reduced measurement reliability and fidelity, it is important to determine how well the one-item indicators on the FFMRF fare as stand-alone measures. Using a sample of 530 young adults selected for externalizing psychopathology, we investigated the test–retest stability of the FFMRF over a 12-month period, as well as the correspondence between four specific facets of the FFMRF and conceptually linked impulsigenic facets from the UPPS. The FFMRF facets had a median test–retest correlation of 0.47 over 12 months. These values suggest reasonable measurement precision but are approximately 0.10 to 0.20 lower than lengthier measures, quantifying a tradeoff for brief forms. Further, the four FFMRF facets correlated between 0.43 and 0.63 with the relevant UPPS scales and in each case the convergent value was significantly greater than the discriminant ones. The present findings quantify the stability and validity of the FFMRF facet scales, which helps to contextualize the speed/accuracy tradeoffs of brief personality measures.

Students in introductory psychology courses were administered a screening questionnaire during a mass testing, which took place in each of the introductory psychology classes during the first two weeks of the semester. The screening measure consisted of 12 items that assessed conduct problem behaviors that occurred prior to age 18, such as stealing, lying, truancy, theft, breaking curfew, fighting, bullying, and manipulation. A composite based on responses to the twelve conduct problem items was used to determine the distribution of scores for predicted substance use risk, and the males and females whose scores fell within the top 25% for their gender were invited to participate through email.

Fisher’s Z-scores represent the significance of the difference between the largest correlation and the second largest correlation of a construct with subscales of a specific measure. That is, the largest correlation and the second largest correlation within the specific row or column of Table 2 being discussed in that sentence.
