The Big Five Inventory (BFI):

Reliability and validity of its Arabic

translation in non clinical sample

B. Alansari

Introduction

One of the most researched theories of personal-

ity is the Five Factor Model, frequently evaluated through the Big

Five Inventory 44-item BFI. Although there is an Arabic version, its

psychometrical properties in Kuwaiti population are yet unknown.

Objectives

The objective of this studywas to evaluate the psycho-

metric properties of the BFI and its factorial structure in an Arabic

non-clinical sample.

Methods

The participants were 685 first year undergraduate

Kuwaitis: 305 males mean age = 22.77

±

4.57 and 380 females;

mean age = 19.61

±

2.59). The Arabic version of BFI (John and Sri-

vastava, 1999) was administered to participants. The internal

consistency reliability, factor structure, and convergent validity of

the BFI with PFQ-C (Barbaranelli, Caprara, Robasca, and Pastorelli,

2003) were assessed.

Results

Internal consistencywas satisfactory for the Neuroticism,

Extraversion, and Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and

Conscientiousness subscales respectively (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.83,

0.82, 0.79, 0.82, 0.90) for males and (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.74, 0.83,

0.85, 0.81, 0.92) for females. The results revealed significant gender

differences where the males obtained a higher score than females

on extraversion and conscientiousness, while females obtained a

higher score thanmales on neuroticism. Principal component anal-

yses (PCA) showed that a five-component solution explains 42.27%

of the total variance for males and 41.47% for females. The con-

vergent correlations in sample between the BFI and PFQ-C (mean

r

= 54) for validity coefficients.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that the BFI is a brief measure

of the Big Five personality traits and it provides satisfactory reliable

and valid data.

Intergenerational transmission of

psychopathy and mediation via

psychosocial risk factors

K. Auty

Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Introduction

Intergenerational

continuities in criminal

behaviour have been well documented, but the familial nature of

psychopathic personality is less well understood.

Objectives

To establish if there is an association between the psy-

chopathic traits of a community sample of males and their offspring

and whether psychosocial risk factors mediate.

Methods

Participants of the Cambridge Study in Delinquent

Development (

n

= 478 dyads) were assessed for psychopathy using

the PCL: SV. Multilevel regression models were used to investi-

gate intergenerational continuity and mediation models examined

indirect effects.

Results

The fathers’ psychopathy was transmitted to both sons

and daughters. The transmission of Factor 1 scores was mediated

via the father’s employment problems. For males, the Factor 2

scoresweremediated via the fathers’ drug use, accommodation and

employment problems, for females, Factor 2 scores were mediated

via the father’s employment problems.

Conclusions

Understanding of the specific role of certain psy-

chosocial risk factors may be useful in developing preventative

measures.

Relationship between happiness and

personality variables

G. Baqer

Kuwait University, Department of Psychology, Kaifan, Kuwait

Introduction

The focus of interest in this study is to investi-

gate the relationship betweenhappiness and optimism, satisfaction

with life, hope, depression, and anxiety. Many efficient instruments

have been used in this study, however there is no study until

this date that has used the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ)

within Arabic countries and Kuwaiti samples specifically.

Objectives

The aim of the study is to investigate the correla-

tions between happiness and optimism, satisfactionwith life, hope,

depression and anxiety.

Methods

The sample consisted of 510 students from Kuwait Uni-

versity, 270 females and 240 males, with a mean age of 22.8

(SD = 4.1). The OHQ 0.90 alpha was administered to participants,

in addition to the Arabic version of Life Orientation Test-Revised

(LOT-R) 0.70, The Satisfactionwith Life Scale (SWLS) 0.78, The Hope

Scale (AHS) 0.60, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) 0.87 and Beck

Anxiety Inventory (BAI) 0.95. Correlations were used in this study.

Results

The results revealed that all the correlations between

OHQ and other scales were significant. Positive correlations have

been found with LOT-R

r

= 0.50, SWLS

r

= 0.44, and AHS

r

= 0.39,

while there were negative correlations with BDI-II

r

=

0.38 and

BAI

r

=

0.17.

Conclusion

It was concluded that happiness correlates positively

with other personality variables: optimism, satisfaction with life
