Application of Generalizability Theory to the Big Five Inventory
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the Big Five Personality Inventory score reliability (BFI: John, Donahue, & Kentle, 1991) utilizing Generalizability Theory analyses. Participants were recruited from a large public Midwestern university and provided complete data for the BFI on three measurement occasions (n = 264). Results suggested score reliability for scales with 7-10 items were adequate. However, score reliability for two item scales did not reach a .80 threshold. These findings have indicated BFI score reliability was, in general, acceptable and demonstrated the advantages of using Generalizability Theory analyses to examine score reliability.

Trait aspects of a construct are resistant to change, while more dynamic aspects reflected by state items are easier to influence by means of an intervention.
“The research shows that trait aspects of a construct are resistant to change while more dynamic aspects reflected by state items are easier to influence by means of an intervention and such aspects should be a primary target of such interventions (Arterberry etal., 2014; Medvedev etal., 2017).”
From Investigating state and trait aspects of resilience using Generalizability theory (2024) · cites this paper as Arterberry et al., 2014
The Method (Data Analysis; page unavailable) says personality traits should remain stable across occasions, and the Results (G-Study Results; page unavailable) report relatively consistent responses over time. These passages support temporal stability, but the paper does not compare trait and state items or test whether state aspects are easier to change through an intervention. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
