The behavioral manifestations of Big Five traits were compared across cultures using the Act Frequency Approach. American (n = 176) and Filipino (n = 195) students completed a Big Five measure and act frequency ratings for behaviors performed during the past month. Acts for specific traits cohered to an equivalent degree across cultures. In both cultures, the structure of act composites resembled the Big Five and the strength of trait-behavior relationships was very similar. Many acts were multidimensional and analyses revealed cultural commonalities and differences in the relevance and prevalence of acts for the Big Five traits. The results were more consistent with trait than cultural psychology perspectives, because traits predicted behavior equally well, on average, in the two cultures.
采用行为频次法对不同文化背景下的大五人格特质的行为表现进行了比较。美国学生（n = 176）和菲律宾学生（n = 195）完成了一项大五人格测量以及对过去一个月内所表现行为的频次评定。特定特质的行为在不同文化中具有同等程度的一致性。在两种文化中，行为组合的结构都类似于大五人格，特质与行为关系的强度也非常相似。许多行为具有多维度性，分析揭示了大五人格特质相关行为在相关性和普遍性方面的文化共性与差异。研究结果更符合特质心理学而非文化心理学的观点，因为平均而言，特质在两种文化中对行为的预测效果相当。
