“…DeYoung et al (2002), the developers of the Big-Two Model, stated that these two factors are suggestive of the very basic personality tendencies rather than the pure consequences of socialization or individual development. The authors also emphasized that these two factors and conformity are linked because they established a positive correlation between conformity measures and Stability and a negative correlation with Plasticity.…”

“…These two metatraits were then named as Stability and Plasticity by DeYoung et al (2002), as discussed in the present study. The variance shared between Agreeableness, Emotional Stability (low Neuroticism) and Conscientiousness seems to represent one's ability and disposition to preserve stability by abstaining motivational, emotional and social interruptions, while the variance shared between Extraversion and Openness to Experience represents the ability and disposition to discovery through interaction with behavioral and cognitive novelty (DeYoung et al, 2005).…”

Personality traits can be categorized using a hierarchical structure in accordance with their correlations. Such hierarchy is derived by collecting more specific personality traits with similar underlying sources under a more general trait. Personality traits affect how people behave and perceive situations in multiple life domains. Prior research demonstrated the predictive value of the personality variables in multiple role occupation; however, most researchers have used the Big-Five personality traits. Therefore, the present study aims to discuss work-family conflict from the perspective of the Big-Two model of personality. The study sample included 250 participants. The study data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed by testing a structural equation model. The results showed that individuals who score high in stability experience greater work-family conflict, whereas individuals scoring high in plasticity experience less work-family conflict.

“…As a comparison, we describe an alternative model, the secondorder factor model, which is conceptually similar yet functionally different from the bifactor model. The second-order model has been widely used in applied research when measurement instruments assess several related facets (e.g., DeYoung et al 2002;Marsh et al 2002). In the case of psychological well-being, a second-order model hypothesizes that the six facets consist of the six lower-order factors, and there is a higher-order factor of general psychological well-being that accounts for the commonality shared by the lower-order factors (i.e., the individual facets).…”

Two Concepts or Two Approaches? A Bifactor Analysis of Psychological and Subjective Well-Being

et al. 2012

Researchers often debate about whether there is a meaningful differentiation between psychological well-being and subjective well-being. One view argues that psychological and subjective well-being are distinct dimensions, whereas another view proposes that they are different perspectives on the same general construct and thus are more similar than different. The purpose of this investigation was to examine these two competing views by using a statistical approach, the bifactor model, that allows for an examination of the common variance shared by the two types of well-being and the unique variance specific to each. In one college sample and one nationally representative sample, the bifactor model revealed a strong general factor, which captures the common ground shared by the measures of psychological well-being and subjective well-being. The bifactor model also revealed four specific factors of psychological well-being and three specific factors of subjective well-being, after partialling out the general well-being factor. We further examined the relations of the specific factors of psychological and subjective well-being to external measures. The specific factors demonstrated incremental predictive power, independent of the general well-being factor. These results suggest that psychological well-being and subjective well-being are strongly related at the general construct level, but their individual components are distinct once their overlap with the general construct of well-being is partialled out. The findings thus indicate that both perspectives have merit, depending on the level of analysis.

“…For instance, the traditional five-factor model of personality (i.e., extraversion, agreeableness, conscientious, emotional stability, and openness) are mid-level traits (DeYoung, Peterson, & Higgins, 2002;DeYoung, 2006;Digman, 1997;Hirsh, DeYoung, & Peterson, 2009) that are predictive of a whole range of acts individuals may perform including mate-retention (Buss, 1998) and interpersonal manipulate (Buss, Gomes, Higgins, & Lauterbach, 1987). Higher-order personality traits tend to reflect the shared variance of a number of these mid-level factors (DeYoung et al, 2002;Hirsch et al, 2009). Lower-order traits represent aspects of mid-level conceptualizations (DeYoung, Quilty, & Peterson, 2007).…”

Comparing the Measured and Latent Dark Triad: Are Three Measures Better than One?

Could measurement level be a factor worth considering when studying the Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism)? In two studies (N = 465), we compared the relative fit of two Dark Triad models: one that treats the three measures as separate-yet-related personality traits and another that treats the measures as tapping a single, latent construct. Mid-level personality traits, such as mate-retention strategies (Study 1) were best explained by a three-measure model, whereas the higher-order trait of sociosexuality (Study 2), were best explained by a single, latent-factor model. When considering mid-level measurement in personality, the three traits may provide independent effects for interpersonal relationships, whereas at the higher-order level, the three traits may function as a single entity relating to other higher-order traits. We suggest one should consider level of measurement between the predictor and criterion variables to better predict correlations among variables such as the Dark Triad.
