Prior investigations indicate that the five core personality dimensions (the "Big Five") are measurable by middle childhood. The aim of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of a short-form self-report measure of the Big Five personality dimensions in children that would be suitable for administration online in large population-based studies. Twenty-five questionnaire items in English, derived from the 65-item Big Five Questionnaire for Children in Italian (Barbaranelli, Caprara, Rabasca, & Pastorelli, 2003), were completed online by 27,415 Australian children in Year 6 (mean age 11.92 years). An item response theory approach evaluated the psychometric properties and resolved a 20-item short-form questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the Big Five structure. Construct validity was demonstrated via correlations between Big Five scores and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire subscales (Goodman, 2001). The 20 items provide a brief, reliable, and valid child self-report measure of the Big Five personality dimensions.
先前的研究表明，五个核心人格维度（“大五”）可以在儿童中期进行测量。本研究的目的是检验一种适合在大型基于人群的研究中在线使用的大五人格维度短式自评量表的心理测量特性。25 个问卷项目来自意大利的 65 项大五儿童问卷（Barbaranelli、Caprara、Rabasca 和 Pastorelli，2003 年），由 27415 名澳大利亚六年级儿童（平均年龄 11.92 岁）在线完成。项目反应理论方法评估了心理测量特性，并确定了 20 项短式问卷。探索性和验证性因素分析支持大五结构。通过大五分数与长处和困难问卷子量表（Goodman，2001 年）之间的相关性证明了结构效度。这 20 个项目提供了一个简短、可靠和有效的儿童自评大五人格维度的量表。
