“…A Slovak version of the scale (Hullová, Duriš, 2016) was used in the study. Again, the reliability of the questionnaire has been documented by foreign authors (Zheng et al, 2008) and in our data (Cronbach's α for all factors > 0.7).…”

Aim: The study aim was to establish the differences in the levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with acne and atopic dermatitis, to examine differences related to gender, and to examine the relationship of levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life to age and personality traits. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were used for data collection, and the Mini International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) was used for identification of five personality factors. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between patients with acne and patients with atopic dermatitis regarding levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life. In terms of age, a difference was found only in the incidence of anxiety in the group of patients with acne; higher anxiety was found in women. There were no statistically significant differences in anxiety, depression, and quality of life related to age in patients with acne and atopic dermatitis. Significant relationships of the variables to personality traits were found in both groups. Conclusion: Knowing the factors influencing the incidence of mental health problems in patients with acne and atopic dermatitis helps in early nursing diagnosis of such problems, which can eliminate the negative impact of mental health problems on patients' quality of life.

“…The IPIP (Goldberg et al, 2006) is a large set of personality items that can be used to assess a wide variety of traits and models, including the Big Five and Five Factor Model, but which are free to use and have no restrictions regarding modifications. A number of IPIP-based scales have been created to assess the Big Five and FFM, and preliminary evidence suggests that these scales manifest reasonable convergent and discriminant validity (Gow, Whiteman, Pattie, and Deary, 2004;Zheng et al, 2008), and manifest expected relations with substance use (Raynor and Levine, 2009;Walton and Roberts, 2004).…”

“…A recent cross-cultural study also showed the instrument had acceptable reliability and factor structure across 56 nations in 10 world regions [23] . The BFI-44 has been used in a wide range of studies including education, language use, and clinical research [24][25][26][27] , and also as a criterion variable for validating the IPIP Big-Five factor markers in a study conducted in China [28] . But none of these studies reported the factor structure of the BFI-44 in their samples.…”

Background: Some personality traits were found to be relevant to engagement in smoking. Examination of associations between personality traits and behaviours in smoking and cessation will guide the development of effective preventive and cessation interventions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the factor structure and reliability of a Chinese version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI) for assessing the five personality dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience in adults who had a smoking habit.Methods: 1173 Chinese smokers who had received smoking cessation intervention at a smoking cessation health centre in Hong Kong from 21 August 2000 to January 2002 were followed-up by telephone between February and August 2008. Participants completed a questionnaire including the 44-item BFI and perceived health status. A total of 480 (41%) participants completed the survey and 439 questionnaires without missing were analysed. The factor structure of the BFI was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis, reliability by Cronbach alpha and concurrent validity by personality scores by gender and relationship with perceived health. The convergent and discriminant validity of the reduced version of BFI was compared to the original version using the mulittrait-multimethod matrix approach.Results: Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the five-factor structure provided an acceptable fit after removing 15 items which did not contribute to their corresponding factors. The reduced 29-item BFI had internal reliability estimates ranged from 0.69 for agreeableness to 0.81 for neuroticism. Women scored significantly higher in neuroticism and lower in openness to experience. All the correlations of the five personality traits with perceived health were in the expected directions and statistically significant except openness to experience. The four requirements of convergent and discriminant validity of the reduced 29-item BFI were met. Conclusions:These results showed that the satisfactory psychometric properties of the Chinese version of BFI with modifications; suggesting that the Chinese translation of the abbreviated 29-item BFI could be a useful and practical tool in measuring personality traits among Chinese adults had a smoking habit.
