D., Rentfrow, P. J., & Swann, W. B. Jr. (2003). A very brief measure of the Big-Five personality domains. Journal of Research in Personality, 37, 504–528. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10 7-point Likert questions: 2 for each of the 5 personality domains (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Openeness) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes less than 1 minute ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA FILE INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default data stored in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'tipi.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 (disagree strongly) - 7 (agree strongly) R = automatically 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: 'tipi_summary.iqdat' (Inquisit Lab: one data file per 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) Range: 1-7 => the higher the score the higher the particular facet has been affirmed by participant Extraversion: mean Extraversion score Agreeableness: mean Agreeableness score Conscientiousness: mean Conscientiousness score EmotionalStability: mean Emotional Stability score Openeness: mean Openeness score ///Norms: (parameter) calculateGenderPercentile: true (1) = z-score and percentiles are calculated based on gender norms (provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) - can be set under Editable Parameters false (0) = z-score and percentiles are calculated using the overall norms (provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) radiobuttons.gender.response: 1 = female; 2 = male; empty (=> question wasn't asked) z_E: calculated z-score of the Extraversion score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) E_percentile: z-score percentile of the Extraversion score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) z_A: calculated z-score of the Agreeableness score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) A_percentile: z-score percentile of the Agreeableness score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) z_C: calculated z-score of the Conscientiousness score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) C_percentile: z-score percentile of the Conscientiousness score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) z_ES: calculated z-score of the Emotional Stability score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) ES_percentile: z-score percentile of the Emotional Stability score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) z_O: calculated z-score of the Openeness score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) O_percentile: z-score percentile of the Openeness score (based on data provided by Gosling et al, 2003, p.526) + individual responses ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ QUESTIONNAIRE SET-UP & SCORING ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10 7-point Likert questions - 2 for each of the 5 personality domains (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Openeness) - one of the two questions is reversed scored (automatically done by the program) - if parameters.calculateGenderPercentile is set to 'true', a gender question is provided at the end of the questionnaire (by default, the gender question is omitted) Scoring: * computer automatically calculates the average score for the 5 categories * computer automatically calculates the z-score and percentile values of the 5 scores based on data published by Gosling et al (2003) -> by default, overall means across gender and ethnic groups are used -> if parameters.calculateGenderPercentile is set to 'true', percentiles are calculated based on the reported gender (across ethnic groups) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ slightly adapted from Gosling et al (2003) to reflect a different testing setup. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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: /pageinstructions: the instructions posted on top of each page of the questionnaire /calculateGenderPercentile: true (1) = z-score and percentiles are calculated based on gender norms (provided by Gosling et al, 2003) false (0) = z-score and percentiles are calculated using the overall norms (provided by Gosling et al, 2003) (default)
