In the 45 years since Cattell used English trait terms to begin the formulation of his "description of personality," a number of investigators have proposed an alternative structure based on 5 orthogonal factors. The generality of this 5-factor model is here demonstrated across unusually comprehensive sets of trait terms. In the first of 3 studies, 1,431 trait adjectives grouped into 75 clusters were analyzed; virtually identical structures emerged in 10 replications, each based on a different factor-analytic procedure. A 2nd study of 479 common terms grouped into 133 synonym clusters revealed the same structure in 2 samples of self-ratings and in 2 samples of peer ratings. None of the factors beyond the 5th generalized across the samples. In the 3rd study, analyses of 100 clusters derived from 339 trait terms suggest their potential utility as Big-Five markers in future studies.
自卡特尔用英语特质术语开始构建其“人格描述”以来的45年里，许多研究者提出了一种基于五个正交因素的替代结构。本文通过异常全面的特质术语集证明了这种五因素模型的普遍性。在三项研究的第一项中，对1431个特质形容词进行了分析，这些形容词被归为75个类别；在10次重复分析中出现了几乎相同的结构，每次分析都基于不同的因素分析程序。第二项研究对479个常用术语进行了分析，这些术语被归为133个同义词类别，在两份自评样本和两份同伴评价样本中都揭示了相同的结构。除第五个因素外，没有其他因素在各样本中具有普遍性。在第三项研究中，对从339个特质术语中衍生出的100个类别进行的分析表明，它们在未来研究中作为大五人格标记具有潜在效用。
