Summary: Research has shown that Etic psychometric tools work less well in non-Western cultures compared to Western cultures, while data collected online in the former societies tend to be of superior quality to those from face-to-face interviews. This poses a challenge to understanding the universality of models of personality and other constructs. The study explored adapting a short Big Five tool to Mongolian culture, and found that the Big Five and Big Two models were recovered satisfactorily in a nationally representative sample of Mongolians.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the factor structure, reliability, validity, and measurement invariance of the Japanese version of the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2-J). Results indicated that the BFI-2-J has a similar structure to other language versions, sufficient reliability, and supported convergent and discriminant validity. Measurement invariance was confirmed across age and sex groups. The BFI-2-J is considered a good instrument for measuring Big Five personality traits in Japan and for international comparative research.

The research suggests that personality differences should be seen as a consequence, rather than a reason, for athletes' success.

Summary: The study found that while there may not be significant differences in terms of internal consistency when using brief measures of the Big Five in business research, there are potential issues in terms of criterion-related validity.

Summary: This paper presents pioneering evidence for a significant positive effect of perfectionistic strivings on sport performance in distance running. Perfectionistic strivings not only significantly predicted the results of the run, but also moderated the association between anticipated and actual performance, being markedly stronger among perfectionistic individuals. Additionally, the effects remained significant after controlling for Big Five personality traits, indicating that they cannot solely be attributed to perfectionists' elevated conscientiousness.

Summary: Personality traits have a significant impact on human behavior, and trait emotional intelligence (Trait EI) helps individuals cope with life stressors. This study examines the influence of the big five personality factors on Trait EI. Results show that the big five traits are closely related to global Trait EI, with neuroticism being the foremost predictor. These findings are important for psychologists, counselors, and mental health professionals in developing training programs to enhance emotional stability and stress management among college students.
