Research has developed the Big-Five Aspect Scale (BFAS), supporting a five-domain model that includes 10 related aspects. In Arabic societies, there is currently a lack of validation evidence for a scale with these 10 aspects. Thus, this study develops and examines the psychometric properties of the short version of the BFAS (BFAS-SV) within Libyan Arab adults. The sample (N = 1136; 74.6% women, Mage = 25.30, SDage = 8.44) completed the original BFAS and the Arabic version of the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) to assess the BFAS-SV's convergent validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied. The findings provide strong support for the presence of 10 distinct aspects within the Big Five personality domains. Additionally, a robust positive and negative correlation was found among the 10 BFAS-SV aspects, as well as between the BFAS-SV domains of Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Introversion, and Openness/Intellect and their corresponding dimensions in the IPIP, further confirming its concurrent and discriminant validity. Furthermore, the Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the five domains and their respective 10 aspects ranged from 0.61 to 0.85, indicating good internal consistency. Significant gender differences were observed in the Neuroticism domain, particularly in its two aspects (Volatility and Withdrawal), as well as in the Openness/Intellect domain and the Politeness aspect, with women scoring higher in all cases.In conclusion, this study establishes the reliability, validity, and applicability of the Arabic BFAS among the Libyan Arab population. The insights gained into the personality traits and behaviors of Libyan Arab individuals provide valuable implications for personal development and professional success.
研究开发了大五人格维度量表（BFAS），支持一个包含10个相关方面的五领域模型。在阿拉伯社会，目前缺乏针对包含这10个方面的量表的验证证据。因此，本研究在利比亚阿拉伯成年人中开发并检验了BFAS简版（BFAS-SV）的心理测量特性。样本（N = 1136；74.6%为女性，年龄中位数Mage = 25.30，标准差SDage = 8.44）完成了原始的BFAS以及国际个性项目池（IPIP）的阿拉伯语版本，以评估BFAS-SV的收敛效度。应用了验证性因素分析（CFA）。研究结果有力支持了大五人格领域中存在10个不同方面的观点。此外，在BFAS-SV的10个方面之间，以及尽责性、外向性、内向性和开放性/智力等BFAS-SV领域与其在IPIP中相应维度之间，发现了强大的正相关和负相关，进一步证实了其同时效度和区分效度。此外，五个领域及其各自10个方面的克朗巴哈α系数在0.61至0.85之间，表明内部一致性良好。在神经质领域观察到显著的性别差异，特别是在其两个方面（易变性和退缩性），以及在开放性/智力领域和礼貌方面，女性在所有情况下得分都更高。总之，本研究确立了阿拉伯语BFAS在利比亚阿拉伯人群中的可靠性、效度和适用性。对利比亚阿拉伯个体的人格特质和行为的深入了解为个人发展和职业成功提供了有价值的启示。
