Abstract

HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI) is an instrument that assesses the six major dimensions of personality, honesty-humility (H), emotionality (E), extraversion (X), agreeableness (A), conscientiousness (C) and openness to experience (O). The aim of this research was to examine the structure of the 60 item Icelandic version of HEXACO (HEXACO-60-IS). In Study I (N = 40) cognitive interviews were used to categorize items into themes depending on the issues that arose during interviews. A total of 17 items were changed and the answer options revised. In Study II (N = 375) the revised HEXACO-60-IS was administered to a probability-based panel and data analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis. Results showed good reliability but a relatively high correlation between several factors. The factor structure was not satisfactory, as six items had low factor loadings across factors. In Study III (N = 501) the revised HEXACO-60-IS was administered to undergraduate students at the University of Iceland. Results showed good reliability and a moderately low correlation between factors. The factor structure was mostly satisfactory, with three items having a low loading. Overall, the results indicate that there are still prevalent issues that need addressing and that greater attention must be given to the composition of samples.

冰岛版 HEXACO-60 的心理计量特性：认知访谈和确认性因素分析

HEXACO 人格量表（HEXACO-PI）是一种评估人格六大维度的工具，即诚实-谦逊（H）、情绪化（E）、外向性（X）、合群性（A）、自觉性（C）和经验开放性（O）。本研究旨在考察冰岛语版 HEXACO（HEXACO-60-IS）60 个项目的结构。研究 I（N = 40）采用认知访谈法，根据访谈中出现的问题将项目归类为主题。共修改了 17 个项目，并修订了答案选项。在研究 II（N = 375）中，修订后的 HEXACO-60-IS 由一个基于概率的小组进行施测，并通过确认性因素分析对数据进行了分析。结果显示信度良好，但几个因子之间的相关性相对较高。因子结构并不令人满意，因为有六个项目的跨因子载荷较低。研究 III（N = 501）对冰岛大学的本科生进行了修订后的 HEXACO-60-IS 测评。结果显示信度良好，各因子之间的相关性中等偏低。因子结构基本令人满意，有三个项目的载荷较低。总体而言，结果表明仍有一些普遍问题需要解决，必须更加关注样本的构成。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
