    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Personality Assessment
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) traditionally measures 15 personality variables.
    • Existing EPPS design confounds self-orientation with other-orientation.
    • A need exists for a clearer distinction between self and other-perceptions in personality measures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To modify the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) to differentiate self and other-orientations.
    • To assess the reliability of the modified EPPS.
    • To investigate differences in self-perceived and other-perceived personality preferences.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) to create separate scales for self and other-orientations across 15 personality variables.
    • Administration of the modified EPPS to 37 university students and their spouses.
    • Statistical analysis of reliability and preference differences.

    Main Results:

    • The modified EPPS demonstrated significantly higher reliability compared to the standard EPPS in previous studies.
    • Respondents exhibited distinct preferences when rating themselves versus others.
    • Differences in preferences were observed both overall and on specific personality scales.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified EPPS successfully distinguishes between self and other-orientations.
    • The enhanced reliability suggests improved measurement accuracy.
    • Findings highlight the importance of assessing self and other-perceptions separately in personality research.
