This study is an investigation of the Sternberg-Wagner Thinking Style Inventory (TSI), with regard to cross-cultural replication and relation to the five-factor personality model (FFM). TSI and NEO-PI-R were administered to 107 participants from USA and 114 participants from Norway. Inter-correlations between NEO-PI-R dimensions and TSI-scales and factors were not very strong, few exceeding 0.40, and the correlations were in predicted directions. Joint factor analyses of TSI and NEO-PI-R showed that TSI covers variance that NEO-PI-R does not explain. Thus, it is argued that the thinking styles give an independent contribution beyond FFM dimensions. However, TSI did not relate to FFM in the same manner in the two samples. Finally, the TSI-scales and factors were replicable across samples by Procrustes rotation. The question whether thinking style may be regarded as a valid and reliable construct is discussed.
本研究是对斯腾伯格 - 瓦格纳思维风格量表(TSI)进行的一项调查,涉及跨文化复制以及与五因素人格模型(FFM)的关系。TSI和NEO - PI - R分别施测于107名来自美国的参与者和114名来自挪威的参与者。NEO - PI - R维度与TSI量表及因子之间的相互关联并不十分强烈,很少有超过0.40的,且这些关联符合预期方向。TSI和NEO - PI - R的联合因子分析表明,TSI涵盖了NEO - PI - R无法解释的变异。因此,有人认为思维风格在五因素人格模型维度之外提供了独立的贡献。然而,TSI在两个样本中与五因素人格模型的关联方式并不相同。最后,通过普罗克汝斯旋转,TSI量表及因子在不同样本间具有可重复性。文中还讨论了思维风格是否可被视为一个有效且可靠的结构这一问题。
