“…Although structural validity was verified for both younger and older children, only fifth graders provided self-ratings that displayed an octant scale structure reflecting an ideal circumplex. Moreover, self/peer convergence levels were significant for fourth-and fifth-grade children, but not for younger children, in agreement with Quartier and Rossier (2008). In brief, fourth and fifth graders successfully passed the criteria of structural validity, internal consistency, and self/peer coherence, whereas third graders were less fully convincing.…”

The authors developed the Interpersonal Behavior Questionnaire for Children with the aim of assessing the constructs of the interpersonal circumplex model, that is, Dominance and Love and their possible combinations, via third- to fifth-grade children's self- and peer reports. In the three studies presented herein, the authors examined several psychometric properties of the questionnaire. Results demonstrated that children's ratings along the questionnaire yielded the hypothesized circumplex structure of the interpersonal variables; that they reached significant association levels with external criteria; and that they were reliable. Specifically, interrater correlations were shown to reach substantive levels when inspected in older children, when scores were aggregated over raters, and when dominant behaviors were evaluated. Overall, the findings demonstrated the tenability of the circumplex model in young ages via children's ratings. The authors suggest that both personality assessment and personality development research may take advantage from using children's evaluations, in addition to adults' ratings of their children's personality.

“…The children's version of the Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children or HiPIC (Quartier & Rossier, 2008) was used to evaluate the convergent validation of the BFQ-C. It is a 32-item questionnaire that evaluates the big five dimensions, namely: Extraversion (6 items), Benevolence (9 items), Conscientiousness (7 items), Emotional stability (5 items) and Imagination (5 items).…”

“…However this version was designed for a hetero-evaluation by the parents and the teachers. The authors have also derived a version for an auto-evaluation (Quartier & Rossier, 2008) but it only involves 32 items. In this way some dimensions like imagination or emotional stability are only evaluated from 5 items.…”

“…The HiPIC is one of the few inventories specifically intended to assess children's personality according to the FFM, and it is the only French-language tool available with norms for clinical practice. Furthermore, Quartier and Rossier (2008) developed a shortened version specifically designed for self-reports, by selecting items on their ease of understanding and readability for school-aged children. Their validation study (Quartier & Rossier, 2008) indicated that the short form had good correlations with the full-scale version, and factorial analyses confirmed its structural validity.…”

“…There are several possible explanations for these respondent-based (i.e., parent vs. child) divergences. For a start, children's perceptual acuity may depend on the maturation of their self-awareness and their ability to compare themselves with others (Quartier & Rossier, 2008). This would explain why parents and children's assessments tend to converge with age.…”

Links have often been drawn between individual personality differences among children, as captured by the Big Five personality traits, and academic achievement. Published research shows that conscientiousness is the most decisive factor, and its predictive power is greater when it is other-rather than self-assessed. In the current study (N = 161; Mage = 10.79 years), we examined the associations between both forms of personality assessment and two dimensions of school adjustment. Results confirmed that other-assessments are more statistically predictive of academic adjustment, but showed that self-assessments are more statistically predictive of subjective wellbeing at school. Complementary analyses in the form of generalized additive models indicated that the relationship between personality and wellbeing can follow either a linear or a nonlinear pattern, depending on which particular trait is considered. Such results may have practical implications for the choice of assessment method, and theoretical ones for the study of relations between personality and subjective wellbeing at school-an area that is still relatively unexplored. Highlights• Mothers' and children's ratings of personality were modestly correlated • Mothers' ratings were better statistical predictors of academic adjustment • Pupils' ratings were better statistical predictors of subjective school wellbeing • The linearity of the personality-wellbeing relationship varied according to trait Self-and parent-rated measures of personality are related to different dimensions of school adjustment Patrick Perret , Miliana Ayad , BrunoDauvier , Anne Congard 2
