Personality Questionnaire Wave 1 (as suggested by Young and Beaujean, 2011)

Neuroticism You have a lot of good qualities* H1PF 30
You have a lot to be proud of* H1PF 32
You like yourself just the way you are* H1PF33
You feel like you are doing everything just about right* H1PF34
You feel socially accepted* H1PF35
You feel wanted and loved* H1PF36
Extraversion I feel close to people at school** S62B
I feel like I am a part of this school** S62E
I feel socially accepted** S62O
Conscientiousness When you have a problem to solve, one of the first things you do is get as many facts about the problem as possible* H1PF18
When you are attempting to find a solution to a problem, you usually try to think of as many different ways to approach the problem as possible* H1PF19
When making decisions, you generally use a systematic method for judging and comparing alternatives* H1PF20
After carrying out a solution to a problem, you usually try to analyze what went right and what went wrong* H1PF21

Note: Child hood temperament was part of Wave 1; Young and Beaujean (2011) demonstrate the construct validity of the each facet. Cronbach’s alpha for Neuroticism, Extraversion and Conscientiousness is 0.86, 0.76, and 0.76, respectively.
