The Big Five Inventory (BFI):
Reliability and validity of its Arabic
translation in non clinical sample

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

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
