BFAS-G
Big Five Aspect Scales - German
Short abstract
The BFAS-G is the German translation of the Big Five Aspect Scale developed by DeYoung and colleagues (2007). The adapted BFAS-G is a self-assessment inventory with 100 items to measure the Big Five and ten underlying aspects (aspects in brackets): (1) Extraversion (assertiveness & enthusiasm), (2) Neuroticism (volatility & retreat), (3) Compatibility (compassion & politeness), (4) Conscientiousness (orderliness & diligence), (5) Intellect/Openess (intellect & openness). Reliability: Cronbach's alpha is between .71 and .91. Validity: The convergent validity with the NEO-FFI is between r = .66 and r = .85, on average r = .78. Standards: Reference values (M and SD) were determined on a sample of N = 662 (81% female; age: M = 23, SD = 5.1; range: 18-69 years; non-representative).
