Five-factor inventories have a major general factor related to social desirability which can be reduced by framing items neutrally. (2009, methodology): “This result has been replicated by Hendriks et al. (2002), Musek (2007), and Bäckström (2007), among others.”
The ubiquity of common method variance: The case of the Big Five (2011, methodology): “, Biderman & Nguyen, 2004; Bäckström, 2007; Bäckström, Björklund, & Larsson, 2009; Cellar, Miller, Doverspike, & Klawsky, 1996; Klehe et al., 2011; Ziegler & Buehner, 2009). In these experimental studies, participants were typically asked to respond to Big Five measure items under faking and no-faki”
The General Factor of Personality and Evaluation (2012, background): “…of loadings on emotional stability, agreeableness and conscientiousness) and beta (which consisted of loadings on extraversion and openness to experience), became non-significant when a general halo factor was controlled, replicating the works of Bäckström (2007) and Bäckström et al. (2009).”
The General Factor of Personality: A meta-analysis of Big Five intercorrelations and a criterion-related validity study (2010, unknown): “Bäckström (2007) examined social desirability and higher-order personality factors.”
Conceptualizing gratitude and appreciation as a unitary personality trait (2008, methodology): “In order to test whether the latent gratitude factor represented socially desirable responding we used the methodology of Backstrom (2007).”
The Circumplex of Personality Metatraits: A Synthesizing Model of Personality Based on the Big Five (2014, methodology): “Although these traits do not seem to correspond well to Alpha/Stability and Beta/Plasticity, the other two, rotated by 45° in respect to the former (i.e., Social Adaptation vs. Unrestraint and Self-Actualization vs. Inhibition), exhibit a high level of similarity (DeYoung et al., 2002).”
