Why use IPIP scales for validation?
• Developed to address stagnation in personality research. • Widely available (Can be accessed online in various languages) • Widely cited (3571 citations as of 2006)
• Widely used (1301 publications made use of IPIP scales as of 2016) • The large pool of items have been used to create proxies of well-known commercial personality inventories, such as the NEO-PI R • Free!
Specific IPIP scales used • Validating MAPA NG LOOB English Factors • Goldberg’s Big Fiver Marker Domains (Goldberg, 1992). • Validating MAPA NG LOOB English Facets • Goldberg’s IPIP Analogs for NEO -PI R facet scales (Goldberg, 1999).
Specific IPIP scales used MAPA English Domains Big Five Marker Domains Extraversion Factor I: Surgency / Extraversion Agreeableness Factor II: Agreeableness Conscientiousness Factor III: Conscientiousness Neuroticism Factor IV: Emotional Stability Openness to Experience Factor V: Intellect

Method • Instruments • MAPA NG LOOB English Version • Big Fiver Marker Domains • Specific IPIP Analogs of NEO-PI R facet scales • Participants • General Psychology students from UP Diliman (N=187, 63 males and 124 females, 16-24 y/o) for MAPA English • General Psychology students from UP Diliman (N=188, 64 males and 124 females, 16-24 y/o) for IPIP scales
Method • Procedure • Both measures were administered online • MAPA English was administered earlier. • A subset of participants who took both the MAPA English and IPIP scales was extracted (N=167, 52 Males and 115 Females, 16-24 y/o)

Why do we have lower convergence for Agreeableness? • Convergent validity coefficients have acceptable values except for Agreeableness dimension and its facets • Big Five Agreeableness seem to be have a large component of Extraversion in its items.

Why do we have lower convergence for Agreeableness? • Convergent validity coefficients have acceptable values except for Agreeableness dimension and its facets • Big Five Agreeableness seem to be have a large component of Extraversion in its items. • Low BF A convergent validities were also obtained in other studies (e.g. Donnelan, Oswald, Baird, and Lucas, 2006; Gow, Whiteman, Pattie, and Deary, 2005; Zheng, Goldberg, Zheng, Zhao, Tang, and Liu, 2008).
Why do we have lower convergence for Agreeableness? • Convergent validity coefficients have acceptable values except for Agreeableness dimension and its facets • Agreeableness Facets of the IPIP NEO analogs seem to differ slightly in defining its constructs.
