词汇研究的基本原理是基于这样的假设:最有意义的个性特征往往会以单字描述符的形式编码在语言中。我们阐明了词汇方法的一些关键前提,然后回顾了一些从字典中提取的人格描述符的因素结构的研究。我们比较了英语和其他12种语言的词汇研究,重点描述了不同语言中发现的结构之间的一致性。我们的研究表明,盎格鲁-日耳曼语的“Bic, Five”在某些语言中比在其他语言中复制得更好。我们提出了一些词汇因素结构的组织规则,这些规则可能比当代的大五模型更具普遍性。我们提出了几个候选结构模型,这些模型应该在未来的研究中与Bic, Five进行比较,包括具有1,2和3个非常广泛的因素的结构,意大利和匈牙利研究中确定的替代五因素结构,以及希伯来语和菲律宾研究中代表的七因素结构。我们建议在未来的研究中更多地关注中级人格结构,并检查方法变化对最终因素结构的影响。
The rationale for lexical studies rests on the assumption that the most meaningful personality attributes tend to become encoded in language as single-word descriptors. We articulate some key premises of the lexical approach and then review a number of studies that have been conducted examining the factor structure of personality descriptors extracted from dictionaries. We compare lexical studies in English and 12 other languages, with attention to delineating consistencies between the structures found in diverse languages. Our review suggests that the Anglo-Germanic Bic, Five is reproduced better in some languages than in others. We propose some organizing rules for lexical factor structures that may be more generalizable than the contemporary Big-Five model. And we propose several candidate structural models that should be compared with the Bic, Five in future studies, including structures with one, two, and three very broad factors, an alternative five-factor structure identified in Italian and Hungarian studies, and a seven-factor structure represented in Hebrew and Philippine studies. We recommend that in future studies more attention be paid to middle-level personality constructs and to examining the effects of methodological variations on the resulting factor structures.
