“…However, the interpretation of GFP remains an ongoing controversy. On one side, critics argue that GFP merely represents a social desirability or statistical or methodological artifact (Bäckström et al, 2009;Hawes et al, 2023;Revelle & Wilt, 2013). In addition, factor analysis of variables that are positively correlated with each other, whether the p-factor or GFS, necessarily supports the general factor model mathematically, but it does not necessarily support the existence of a substantial underlying factor (van Bork et al, 2017).…”

Environmental sensitivity is a meta-concept that describes individual differences in susceptibility to both positive and negative environmental influences and has been repeatedly reported to correlate with other established personality traits, including the Big Five. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the general factor of environmental sensitivity (GFS) and the general factor of personality (GFP). A total of 1,046 adult participants (52% female; Mage = 45.15, SDage = 12.70) completed a self-report psychological questionnaire on an online form. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that GFS had a strong negative correlation with GFP (r = -.41, 95%CI[-.52, -.30], p <.001). Focusing on the relationship with the Big Five, individuals with higher environmental sensitivity were less emotionally stable and introverted. The trait of environmental sensitivity may be described not only in relation to the Big Five but also in relation to GFP, which is assumed to be an indicator of social effectiveness.

Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that GFS had a strong negative correlation with GFP ( r = −.41, 95% CI [−.52, −.30], p < .001). Focusing on the relationship with the Big Five, individuals with higher environmental sensitivity were emotionally unstable and introverted. The trait of environmental sensitivity may be described not only in relation to the Big Five but also in relation to GFP, which is assumed to be an indicator of social effectiveness.
