“…Thus, a principled selection of estimators is lacking (e.g., see critical review by O'Connor & Paunonen, 2007). Furthermore, the use of small sample sizes (e.g., Ashton et al, 1995;Mershon & Gorsuch, 1988;Schimmack et al, 2004) and incomplete facet-factor comparisons, based on the selection of subsets of either facets or factors (e.g., Ashton et al, 1995;Bagby et al, 2005;Dudley, Orvis, Lebiecki, & Cortina, 2006;Fruyt, Clercq, Wiele, & Heeringen, 2006;Hastings & O'Neill, 2009;Paunonen & Ashton, 2001;Salgado et al, 2013;Stephan, 2009), has limited the available empirical evidence regarding the overall incremental value of facets over factors. Also, existing research has not explicitly specified a population parameter of interest.…”
