BACKGROUND
• Trait theories
• Comparative approaches and taxonomies

EMIC STUDIES
• In some psycho-lexical emic studies (e.g., Italy, Hungary) Openness cannot be extracted
• In some instances more than 5 factors emerge
![Page 25: COMPARATIVE APPROACHES TO PERSONALITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813a0f550346895da1e4ed/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
IS THE FFM SUFFICIENT?
• Cheung and Leung CPAI and NEO PI research with Chinese
• Additional factors: Interpersonal Relatedness (harmony, face, relationship orientation)
• IR factor replicated in Hawaii

AGE DIFFERENCES ON NEO-PI
• N,E,and O decline from adolescence to 30
• A and C increase from adolescence to 30
• Same trends apparent after 30 but at slower rate

INTERPRETATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
• Issues of structural and metric equivalence
• Issue of comprehensiveness
• Issue of “traitedness”
• Issue of theoretical rationale
