“…The gender effect was also weak on the five personality scales, some differences were found in N-Anx, Act, and ImpSS. These results were also consistent with previous reports in American college students (Zuckerman et al, 1993) and in other nations internationally (Barrett & Eysenck, 1984;Martin & Kirkcaldy, 1998).…”

A five-factor model of the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ) was tried in a Chinese speaking area. Three hundred and thirty-three healthy subjects (217 women and 116 men) with a wide range of occupations attended this study and were divided into 5 age ranges. They were free of depression and answered with low dissimulation in ZKPQ. The principal component analysis detected 16 factors with eigenvalues larger than 1.5, the first 5 of which accounted for 21.0% of the variance. The five-factor solution analysis was, therefore, performed. The alpha internal reliabilities of the five personality scales ranged from 0.61 to 0.81. Sixty-one out of 89 items loaded larger than, or equal to, 0.3 on target factors. Scale scores were comparable to those reported in the United States, and the intercorrelations between five personality scales were lower. Gender and education level had little effect on the personality measures; the Impulsive Sensation Seeking declined with age only from 20 years on, in women. This study demonstrates the validity of the ZKPQ in Chinese culture.

“…3 An advantage of using the hierarchical factor model in (1) is that it permits the derivation of a coefficient giving the proportion of variance in the scale scores accounted for by a general factor-omega hierarchical (ω h ). More specifically, ω h is defined as ω h = 1'cc'1 1'S1 , where S is the observed variance/covariance Second, significant sex differences in which women score higher than men are often found on measures of neuroticism in general (e.g., Costa, Terracciano, & McCrae, 2001;McCrae et al, 2002) and on the EPQ in particular (e.g., Barrett & Eysenck, 1984;Martin & Kirkcaldy, 1998). However, an issue that is almost always neglected in psychological research is that group differences on a given scale only have a straightforward interpretation if that scale is measuring the same construct across the groups being compared (Horn & McArdle, 1992).…”

We examined the factor structure of the Neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R-N; S. B. G. Eysenck, Eysenck & Barrett, 1985) and its factor invariance across sex and racial/ethnic groups in a sample of 1,979 adolescents. Using confirmatory factor analyses, we compared a hierarchical model to previous models of the EPQ-R-N and to single-factor and 3-factor structures. The hierarchical factor structure in which a general factor coexists with 3 group factors (depression, social concerns, and worry) was superior to alternative models. The general factor accounted for more than 60% of the variance in EPQ-R-N total scores and was invariant across sex and ethnicity. The 3 group factors varied across ethnicity and sex. We discuss the implications of these findings for conceptualization and assessment of neuroticism using the EPQ-R-N.

“…This finding has been replicated by Hojat, Glaser, Xu, Veloski, & Christian, (1999) in their sample of 1,157 medical students. Martin & Kirkcaldy (1998) and Heaven & Shochet (1995) also found higher Neuroticism for females than males in their samples of college students. In a cross-cultural study of Neuroticism, Lynn & Martin (1997) obtained higher means for women then for men on this factor across 37 nations.…”

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACTThis project assessed racial and gender differences on responses to the NEO-PI-R, the major instrument for measuring the five factors of personality. Theoretical rationale and empirical research is provided regarding possible personality differences between groups. Members of the Armed Services completed the NEO-PI-R resulting in a total sample of 472 (293 males, 179 females; 222 African Americans, 250 Whites). Multiple analysis of variance with race and gender as factors and age as a covariate (MANCOVA) demonstrated that African Americans scored higher than Whites on the factor of Agreeableness (p< .003 and lower on the factor of Negative Emotionality (p< .0001). Females scored higher on Agreeableness (p_< .0001), Negative Emotionality (p< .006), and Openness to Experience (p_< .0001) than males. A significant interaction effect emerged for Agreeableness (p< .03^, with White males scoring lower than White females and African-American males and females. Univariate F tests indicated significant racial differences for twelve (out of thirty) of the facet scales and gender differences were significant for ten of the facet scales. Within the context that this research is comparative, not causal, possible interpretations of between-group differences, applicability of the findings to organizational settings, and implications for universality are discussed. SUBJECT TERMS Racial and Gender Differences in the Five Factors of Personality within Military Samples AbstractThis project assessed racial and gender differences on responses to the NEO-PI-R, the major instrument for measuring the five factors of personality. Theoretical rationale and empirical research is provided regarding possible personality differences between groups. Members across all branches of the Armed Services completed the NEO-PI-R resulting in a total sample of 472 (293 males, 179 females; 222 African Americans, 250 Whites). Multiple analysis of variance with race and gender as factors and age as a covariate (MANCOVA) demonstrated that African Americans scored higher than Whites on the factor of Agreeableness (p_ <.003 and lower on the factor of Negative Emotionality (p < .0001).
