摘要
The residual structure after removing a general factor of personality (GFP) was studied using 77 scales from 8 personality inventories completed by the Eugene-Springfield Community Sample. The GFP itself loaded scales consistent with social effectiveness, such as confidence, self-directedness, empathy, achievement, and low emotional distress. Five remaining factors were rotated orthogonally. They resembled several of the so-called Big Five dimensions, including Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to experience. Both the GFP and the supplemental factors were related to others' ratings of the respondents, participation in specific activities, and several demographic variables. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
