“…The construct validity of the Portuguese NEO-FFI was assessed with PAF and CFA single models that originated fi t indexes above the consensus cutoff points for such circumstances (Hu & Bentler, 1999;Schermelleh-Engel et al, 2003). The international literature on validation of NEOFFI adaptations presents different approaches of CFA (Egan et al, 2000;Gignac et al, 2007). In the present study, CFA was performed based on current evidence that suggest an alternative factorial method for testing personality structure.…”

“…The original NEO-FFI's reliability has been demonstrated in the North American context (Costa & McCrae, 1989), with values of internal consistency ranging from .68 to .86, and the same is true for adaptations developed for other cultures (e.g., Aluja et al, 2005 found values ranging between .70 and .87; Egan, Deary, & Austin, 2000, found values ranging between .72 and .87). Alike the NEO-PI-R, the NEO-FFI is cross-culturally stable (Aluja et al, 2005;Lucas & Donnellan, 2009) although there are some exceptions related to failures in the reproduction of structure (e.g., Aluja et al, 2005;Furham, 1997;Korner et al, 2008).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Portuguese adaptation of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and to compare the obtained structure to the original North American version. The methods of analysis used for cross-validation of the factorial structure were the Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) and the Confi rmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). PAF reproduced the original structure of NEO-FFI and CFA revealed a satisfactory fi t of single-factor models for the fi ve dimensions. The reliability analysis showed high values of internal consistency which are congruent with previous international adaptations of the NEO-FFI. Multidimensional analysis showed signifi cant main effects of gender and academic qualifi cations on personality using age as covariant. The fi ndings suggest that the Portuguese version of the NEO-FFI is a reliable instrument to measure the fi ve dimensions of personality. Keywords: NEO-FFI, personality, psychometrics, Portuguese context. ResumoO objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as propriedades psicométricas (validade e fi delidade) da adaptação portuguesa do NEO-FFI e comparar a estrutura obtida com a versão original americana. Como métodos para a validação cruzada da estrutura fatorial foram usados a Análise Fatorial de Eixos Principais (PAF) e uma Análise Fatorial Confi rmatória (CFA). A PAF reproduziu a estrutura original do NEO--FFI e a CFA revelou modelos uni-factoriais de ajustamento satisfatório para cada uma das cinco dimensões. A análise de fi delidade revelou elevados valores de consistência interna, congruentes com as adaptações prévias internacionais do NEO-FFI. A análise multidimensional revelou efeitos principais signifi cativos do género e das qualifi cações académicas na personalidade, usando a idade como co-variante. Os resultados sugerem que a versão portuguesa do NEO-FFI é um instrumento fi ável para medir as cinco dimensões da personalidade. Palavras-chave: NEO-FFI, personalidade, psicometria, contexto português.

Increasing evidence indicates that normal and abnormal personality can be treated within a single structural framework. However, identification of a single integrated structure of normal and abnormal personality has remained elusive. Here, a constructive replication approach was used to delineate an integrative hierarchical account of the structure of normal and abnormal personality. This hierarchical structure, which integrates many Big Trait models proposed in the literature, replicated across a metaanalysis as well as an empirical study, and across samples of participants as well as measures. The proposed structure resembles previously suggested accounts of personality hierarchy and provides insight into the nature of personality hierarchy more generally. Potential directions for future research on personality and psychopathology are discussed.In recent years, there has been increasing consensus that normal and abnormal personality variation can be treated within a single, unified structural framework (Eysenck, 1994;O'Connor, 2002;. A variety of studies have indicated, for example, that personality structure is essentially the same in clinical and nonclinical samples (O'Connor, 2002), that normal and abnormal personality are strongly related at the etiologic level (Jang & Livesley, 1999;Markon, Krueger, Bouchard, & Gottesman, 2002), and that abnormal personality can be modeled as extremes of normal personality variation (O'Connor & Dyce, 2001).Despite consensus about the possibility of describing normal and abnormal personality within a single structural framework, however, there is less consensus about what this structural framework might be. Although there is emerging consensus about the superordinate structure of normal personality (Goldberg, 1993), less consensus exists about a similar structure of abnormal personality (Livesley, 2001). Delineating a unified superordinate structure across normal and abnormal domains of personality has been even more challenging. Empirical results have supported a variety of conclusions, and validity has been demonstrated for multiple structural models (e.g., Jang & Livesley, 1999;Markon et al., 2002;O'Connor, 2002).Here, we argue that abnormal and normal personality variation is best described within a single integrative hierarchy. We demonstrate that this hierarchical structure replicates across a metaanalytic dataset and empirical sample, replicates across different sets of measures, and is consistent with previous integrative analyses of superordinate personality structure.Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Kristian E. Markon Structural Models of Abnormal PersonalityMany models of personality structure, including those of Eysenck (1947;Eysenck & Eysenck, 1976) and Cloninger (1987;Cloninger, Svrakic, & Przybeck, 1993), were formulated with an explicit goal of describing both normal and abnormal trait variation. Other prominent models, such as the Big Five, were developed without explicit attention to any distinction between normal and...

“…Secondly, the role of personality traits as a predictor of well-being is well documented only amongst younger adults (DeNeve & Cooper, 1998), whilst, in this research, the sample consisted exclusively of older adults. Finally, an openness scale had relatively low internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.52) and was found to be less reliable in other samples (e.g., Egan, Deary, & Austin, 2000) as well.…”
