Abstract

Objectives

The assessment of personality traits is most often based on self-report. However, a growing body of research has shown that informant-report is a valuable and too often overlooked source of unique information. The aim of this study was to validate the French version of the informant-report form of the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) which assesses 15 facet traits in addition to the five major trait domains.

Methods

We asked 699 psychology and sports science and technology students to describe a person they knew well using the BFI-2 and obtained 661 valid records with demographic information. The data were analyzed using a bi-factor exploratory structural equation model with five bifactors corresponding to the Big Five domains, and three group factors (facets) each.

Results

This model had an excellent overall fit. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the five domains were very satisfactory and the McDonald's omega coefficients were even better. The scales that measured the five major factors were therefore highly reliable, although Extraversion was somewhat less so. The scales measuring facets all had high reliability as measures of the whole formed by the major factor and the group factor. In addition, ten of them were reliable measures of their specific factor, and the remaining five appeared to be pure measures of the five domains.

Conclusions

The informant-report form of the BFI-2 is a reliable instrument which is easy and quick to administer. These qualities should enable clinicians and researchers to exploit the much-neglected source of original information provided by informant-reports.

利用一个被过度忽视的人格信息来源的可靠工具:法国改编的五大清单-2(Bfi-2)线人报告表。
目的:人格特征的评估通常基于自我报告。然而,越来越多的研究表明,举报人报告是一个有价值的、经常被忽视的独特信息来源。本研究的目的是验证法国版的“五大清单-2”(BFI-2)的线人报告表,该报告表评估了除五个主要性状领域外的15个方面性状。方法:我们询问了699名心理学和体育科学与技术专业的学生,用BFI-2描述他们熟悉的人,并获得了661份带有人口统计信息的有效记录。使用双因素探索性结构方程模型对数据进行分析,该模型有五个双因素,分别对应于五大领域和三个组因素(方面)。结果:该模型具有良好的整体拟合性。五个域的Cronbachα系数非常令人满意,McDonaldω系数甚至更好。因此,测量五个主要因素的量表是高度可靠的,尽管Extraversion稍微不那么可靠。作为主要因素和群体因素形成的整体测量,测量方面的量表都具有高度可靠性。此外,其中10个是对其特定因子的可靠度量,其余5个似乎是对五个领域的纯粹度量。结论:BFI-2举报表是一种简便、快速、可靠的工具。这些品质应该使临床医生和研究人员能够利用线人报告提供的原始信息的被忽视的来源。
