TABLE 3.

Reliability estimates (with confidence intervals) and intercorrelations for scores from BFI-2 domains (Study 1 and 2).

Domain/Facet α [95% CI] M SD E A C N O
Extraversion 0.82 [0.80, 0.84]/0.85 [0.83, 0.87] 3.80/3.57 0.58/0.66 0.11/0.18 0.18/0.18 –0.25/–0.26 0.31/0.30
Agreeableness 0.79 [0.76, 0.81]/0.81 [0.78, 0.83] 4.00/3.76 0.51/0.58 0.11/0.18 0.34/0.29 –0.30/–0.25 0.14/0.10

E, Extraversion; A, Agreeableness; C, Conscientiousness; N, Negative Emotionality; O, Open-Mindedness. The figures before and after the forward slash are from Study 1 and 2, respectively. N = 599–601 for Study 1, and N = 409 for Study 2. Absolute correlations 0.11 or stronger (for Study 1) and 0.18 or stronger (for Study 2) are significant at p < 0.01. α [95% CI] = Cronbach’s alpha with 95% confidence intervals estimated with the two-way mixed consistency approach for estimating ICC in SPSS (Bravo and Potvin, 1991; Baumgartner and Chung, 2001).
