摘要
The Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) is one of the pre-eminent measures of gender-specific personality characteristics. To evaluate the PAQ's viability 20 years after its creation, we assessed the dimensionality and psychometric properties of the original PAQ and a French version using samples of English-speaking and French-speaking university administrators. The structure of the English form of the PAQ was supported for both women and men when the data were submitted to confirmatory analyses. Support was not as convincing for the dimensionality of the French form of the PAQ however. Some evidence for expected differences in mean Instrumentality and Expressivity scores was found between women and men. Our findings support the continued use of the English PAQ as a measure of instrumental and Expressive personality traits. Further study of the French PAQ is recommended.
