本研究的目的是确定的特质领域的尽责性的潜在结构使用的7个主要人格量表。36个规模概念上与尽责性管理的一个大的社区样本（N = 737），这些规模的分析揭示了一个层次结构，6个因素：勤劳，秩序，自我控制，责任，传统主义，美德。所有6个因素都表现出良好的收敛效度。6个因子中，勤勉、秩序、自制3个因子具有较好的判别效度。剩下的三个因素-责任感，传统主义和美德-似乎是位于尽责性和其余的大五维度之间的间隙结构。此外，6个基本因素都有差异预测效度和提供增量效度超出一般因素的尽责性时，用于预测各种标准变量，包括工作奉献，药物使用，和健康行为。
The purpose of this study was to identify the underlying structure of the trait domain of Conscientiousness using scales drawn from 7 major personality inventories. Thirty-six scales conceptually related to Conscientiousness were administered to a large community sample (N = 737); analyses of those scales revealed a hierarchical structure with 6 factors: industriousness, order, self-control, responsibility, traditionalism, and virtue. All 6 factors demonstrated excellent convergent validity. Three of the 6 factors, industriousness, order, and self-control, showed good discriminant validity. The remaining 3 factors-responsibility, traditionalism and virtue-appear to be interstitial constructs located equally between Conscientiousness and the remaining Big Five dimensions. In addition, the 6 underlying factors had both differential predictive validity and provided incremental validity beyond the general factor of Conscientiousness when used to predict a variety of criterion variables, including work dedication, drug use, and health behaviors.
