The purpose of this study was to validate two short forms of one of the personality questionnaires most widely used in international research, the Big Five Inventory (BFI-2), which uses 60 items to measure the Big Five personality factors: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Negative Emotionality/Neuroticism, and Open-mindedness/Openness to Experience, plus 15 facets (three for each major factor). The 30-item short form (BFI-2-S) is intended to assess the five main factors and the 15 facets and the \"extra-short\" form (BFI-2-XS) in 15 items only allows the five big factors to be assessed.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We had 1003 students (540 women, 54%) from two universities in central-eastern France complete the full BFI-2. We analyzed the factorial structure of the two sets of items making up the BFI-2-S and the BFI-2-XS using an exploratory structural equation model and assessed the reliability of the scales measuring the big five factors or domains using conventional indices. The reliability of the scales measuring the BFI-2-S facets was estimated based on the significance and magnitude of the correlation between the two items of which they are composed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The complex five-factor structure in which the 15 facets are modeled as residual correlations between the two items of each facet provided an excellent fit to the BFI-2-S data. The reliability of the scales measuring the five main factors was very satisfactory and that of the scales measuring the facets was acceptable to good. The BFI-2-S domain scales were free from differential item functioning related to gender, and the latent means of males and females could be compared. The high correlations of the domain and facet scales with the corresponding scales of the full BFI-2 argues in favor of the validity of the BFI-2-S. With respect to the BFI-2-XS, the simple five-factor structure also exhibited a satisfactory fit, and the five scales also had high correlations with the full BFI-2 corresponding scales. However, the invariance of the items with respect to gender was not as well established as for the BFI-2-S.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>This study's main limitation was the composition of the sample which was made up of students.

The objective was to produce a translation/adaptation of the safety plan in French that ensures a high level of fidelity with the original instrument and adaptation to the French clinical and cultural context. The four-step translation/adaptation method employed was in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Sousa & Rojjanasrirat (2011). A multidisciplinary committee comprising experts in suicidology, people with lived experience and professional translators was involved in the study. The authors of the original version of the safety plan provided their consent and one of them collaborated in the translation and adaptation stages. In accordance with the recommendations, an initial translation of the safety plan into French was carried out, after which the content was compared and adapted. A back-translation was employed to ascertain the discrepancy between the original and translated versions, thereby determining whether the item should be validated or a new cycle of adaptation, back-translation, and comparison initiated. The translation and adaptation process resulted in a consensus on all items in the safety plan. This version, adapted into French as part of the PROTECT study, recommends that, in the specific context of emergencies, the last stage of the plan, which concerns reasons for living, should not be carried out. The translation of the safety plan provides healthcare professionals with a novel instrument for the prevention of suicidal behaviour. Although it requires time to learn how to use it, the translation ensures that it can be distributed widely, faithful to the original version.</p>","PeriodicalId":51042,"journal":{"name":"Encephale-Revue De Psychiatrie Clinique Biologique et Therapeutique","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143537998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
