Earlier cross-cultural research on replicability of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) suggested that personality trait structure is universal, but a recent study using an Italian translation has challenged this position. The present article reexamines the psychometric properties of the Italian NEO-PI-R and discusses the importance of orthogonal Procrustes rotation when the replicability of complex factor structures is tested. The arguments are supported by data from a slightly modified translation of the NEO-PI-R, which was administered to 575 Italian subjects. These data show a close replication of the American normative factor structure when targeted rotation is used. Further, the validity of the Italian NEO-PI-R is supported by external correlates, such as demographic variables (age, sex, education), depression, and affect scales.
早期关于修订版大五人格量表(NEO-PI-R)可重复性的跨文化研究表明,人格特质结构具有普遍性,但最近一项使用意大利语翻译版本的研究对这一观点提出了挑战。本文重新审视了意大利语版NEO-PI-R的心理测量特性,并讨论了在测试复杂因素结构的可重复性时进行正交普罗克汝斯旋转的重要性。这些观点得到了对NEO-PI-R进行轻微修改后的翻译版本的数据支持,该版本施测于575名意大利受试者。这些数据表明,当使用目标旋转时,意大利语版与美国常模因素结构高度相似。此外,意大利语版NEO-PI-R的效度得到了外部相关因素的支持,如人口统计学变量(年龄、性别、教育程度)、抑郁和情感量表。
