AN EVALUATION OF THE VALIDITY OF THE PERSONALITY RESEARCH FORM WITH FILIPINO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Abstract
The cross‐cultural validity of a North American personality inventory, namely, the Personality Research Form (Jackson 1984) was examined using 394 university students in the Philippines who were able to speak and read English. Scale validities, with self and peer ratings as criteria, were generally significant but modest. Moderate scale and peer rating reliabilities probably contributed to these results. Elevated scores on a PRF scale designed to detect careless responding suggested failure to understand instructions or insufficient motivation may also account for the findings. Interestingly, recalculating validities for subsamples comprising ‘dependable’ and ‘undependable’ subjects yielded no substantial differences in overall validity. Implications for cross‐cultural personality assessment are discussed.

Some internal attributes, such as self-esteem and affect, appear to predict life satisfaction less well in collectivistic cultures, such as the Philippines and Zimbabwe, than in individualistic cultures.
“In addition, some internal attributes, such as self-esteem and affect, appear to predict life satisfaction less well in collectivistic cultures, such as the Philippines (Fekken, Holden, Jackson, & Guthrie, 1987) and Zimbabwe (D. Wilson, Doolabh, Cooney, Khalpey, & Sid- diqui, 1990), than in individualistic cultures.”

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.
