D.R., & Thomas A. Widiger, T.A. (2006). Psychometric Properties of an Abbreviated Instrument of the Five-Factor Model. Assessment, 13, 119-137. This script is based on a paper and pencil scoring form genereously shared by Dr. Samuel. Millisecond Software thanks Dr. Samuel for his assistance with writing this script! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The FFMRF contains 6 5-choice Likert questions for each of the 5 personality factors: neuroticism (N), extraversion (E), openness (O), agreeableness (A), conscientiousness (C). The 30 questions are spread over 5 surveypages (one page per factor). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes appr. 2 minutes to complete ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA FILE INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default data stored in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'fivefactormodel.iqdat' date, time: date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber subject, group, session: with the current subject/groupnumber/session id build: the Inquisit build q*_response: response given (in assigned values) Scale: 1 (extremely low) - 5 (extremely high) no reversed scored questions q*_latency: how much time (in ms) the participant spent on the surveypage with this particular question (the last time this particular surveypage was visited) (2) Summary data file: 'fivefactormodel_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant) inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startDate: date script was run startTime: time script was started subjectid: assigned subject id number groupid: assigned group id number sessionid: assigned session id number elapsedTime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) neuroticism - conscientiousness: the scores for the 5 factors ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EDITABLE CODE ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ check below for (relatively) easily editable parameters, stimuli, instructions etc. Keep in mind that you can use this script as a template and therefore always "mess" with the entire code to further customize your experiment. The parameters you can change are: /completeinstructions: the complete instructions that appear at the top of the first surveypage /repeatinstructions: the instructions that appear on each subsequent page /responselegend: the response legend
