Factor Structure of Global Self-Esteem among Adolescents and Adults Journal of Research in Personality 34,4 (December 2000): 357-379 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (see Self-Esteem); Self-Esteem; Women The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1965). Despite its frequent use, the factor structure of the RSES remains unclear. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the CFA approach to analyzing multitrait-multimethod data were used to evaluate eight competing models of the factor structure of the RSES. The models were evaluated within three diverse samples and two follow-up surveys. The results of this study indicate that the RSES is a unidimensional construct that is contaminated by a method effect primarily associated with negatively worked items. These results were found in both adolescents and adults. Moreover, the results found support for the hypothesis that the method effects diminish with increased verbal ability. The theoretical and methodological implications of these findings are discussed. Copyright 2000 Academic Press. |

The Five-factor Model of Personality and Physical Inactivity: A Meta-analysis of 16 Samples Journal of Research in Personality 63 (August 2016): 22-28.

Panel Study (WLS) A sedentary lifestyle is harmful for health; personality traits may contribute to physical (in)activity. With participant-level data from 16 samples (N > 125,000), we examined the personality correlates of physical inactivity, frequency of physical activity, and sedentary behavior (in a subset of samples). Lower Neuroticism and higher Conscientiousness were associated with more physical activity and less inactivity and sedentary behavior. Extraversion and Openness were also associated with more physical activity and less inactivity, but these traits were mostly unrelated to specific sedentary behaviors (e.g., TV watching). The results generally did not vary by age or sex. The findings support the notion that the interest, motivational, emotional, and interpersonal processes assessed by five-factor model traits partly shape the individual’s engagement in physical activity. |
