Reliability and Validity of the Indonesian Version of Big Five Inventory

-

Abstract

Big Five Factor inventory (BFI) is widely used to measure personality. Although several studies have measured the reliability and validity of the 44-item Big Five Inventory, there is only a limited number of research measuring the psychometric properties of the Indonesian adaptation of the Big Five Inventory. The present study examines the reliability and validity of the Indonesian version of the Big Five Inventory. The study involved a large sample comprised of 3,882 college students aged 15-22 years old. The instrument was administered on-site for data collection. Cronbach’s alpha reliability analysis and exploratory factor analysis were conducted to measure the reliability and validity of the instrument. The results showed considerable reliability for items measuring the scales of Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism, while the items for Agreeableness and Openness to experience were slightly below standard. Meanwhile, an analysis examining the number of factors of BFI revealed eight factors instead of the original five proposed by the Five Factor Model (FFM) that served as a framework for BFI. There were 11 items that did not fit with the scales. Further development is required to create a more valid instrument.

The limitless connection and access is one of the most important variable. This kind of conditions will be such a great opportunity to enhance the process of learning, if only if the facilities are being controlled well. Without any system and the comprehension of the system, there won't be any effective effort in manage it to support the education system itself.  Besides, the changing characteristi

Social Comparison, Two-sided Sword That We Should Be Careful To

Living in society sometimes cannot be easy as I thought it would be. There are lots of fun things that won’t be fun if we don’t have any friends or acquaintance to do with, such as watching movies, hangout, workout every morning in the weekend, etc. But, the presence of others, especially the significant one, is more influencing on how we see ourselves than how we see theirs. Social Comparison We, humans, tend to look and want to know at other people’s life and compare it to our own. This tendency is called social comparison. With social comparison, we can make our self-esteem become higher than it should be. This kind of self-helping is very important because we have to be able to control and stabilize our self-esteem. If we don’t have a good self-esteem, we tend to view ourselves as a worthless being and disappoint at our own life time by time. If it happens to us all along, trust me, suicidal intention is not an impossible thing that will come to our mind, though it doesn’t
