Researchers developed the Five-Factor Model Adolescent Personality Questionnaire (FFM-APQ) for accessible adolescent personality assessment. This brief, 25-item tool provides initial validity evidence for five personality subscales.

Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Developmental psychology
  • Personality research

Background:

  • The Five-Factor Model (FFM) is a widely accepted framework for personality structure.
  • Existing personality measures may not be suitable for adolescents due to complex vocabulary or length.
  • There is a need for a brief, valid personality inventory tailored for adolescent populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a brief adolescent personality inventory based on the Five-Factor Model.
  • To create a 25-item questionnaire (FFM-APQ) using age-appropriate language for individuals up to 18 years old.
  • To establish initial evidence of the FFM-APQ's validity and psychometric properties.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-phase development process was employed, starting with item generation and expert review.

  • Item analyses were conducted on a sample of 179 adolescents.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed on larger samples (N=496 and N=405, respectively) to determine the underlying structure and refine the inventory.
  • The final inventory consists of 25 items across 5 subscales.

    • Main Results:

    • The development process resulted in a 25-item Five-Factor Model Adolescent Personality Questionnaire (FFM-APQ).
    • Confirmatory factor analyses supported a 5-subscale structure for the FFM-APQ.
    • The questionnaire utilizes vocabulary suitable for adolescents up to 18 years of age.

    Conclusions:

    • The 25-item FFM-APQ is a promising brief measure for assessing adolescent personality within the Five-Factor Model framework.
    • The FFM-APQ demonstrates initial validity and a clear 5-subscale structure.
    • This tool offers a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians working with adolescent populations.
