Integrating psychological approaches to entrepreneurship: the Entrepreneurial Personality System (EPS) (2017, background): “However, the single Big Five traits outperform the entrepreneurial Big Five profile in terms of R(2) in the regressions, which is a typical result in such head-to-head comparisons of a variable- vs person-oriented approach (Asendorpf 2003).”
The Person and the Variable in Developmental Psychology (2010, methodology): “An example of this is given by Asendorpf and Denissen (2006) who used regression analysis to compare the predictive power of personality types and the continuous variables that had been used to derive these types.”
Personality in sport: a comprehensive review (2013, background): “…research (most often in clinical settings to identify people with particular personality disorders), they have received considerable criticism from psychometric researchers (cf. Asendorpf, 2003; Pittenger, 2004) as personality test scores consistently produce a normal distribution curve.”
Predictive Validity of Personality Types Versus Personality Dimensions From Early Childhood to Adulthood: Implications for the Distinction Between Core and Surface Traits (2006, methodology): “…cross-sectional designs, dimensions have typically outperformed the types, yet longitudinal designs such as those used in the present study and by Asendorpf (2003) yield a much more balanced picture, with both approaches contributing to long-term predictions and the type approach even…”
Personality development: stability and change. (2005, background): “However, the descriptive and predictive efficiency and utility of typological versus dimensional approaches awaits more explicit evaluation (Asendorpf 2003).”
What matters most to prejudice: Big Five personality, Social Dominance Orientation, or Right‐Wing Authoritarianism? (2004, methodology): “…four types of prejudice) using a variable-centred (relating personality and prejudice through correlation and multiple regression analyses) as well as a person-centred approach (Big Five personality profiles obtained by cluster analyses related to mean prejudice scores; see Asendorpf, 2002, 2003).”
The person-oriented approach: A short theoretical and practical guide (2014, background): “A person-oriented and a variable-oriented approach are sometimes compared with regard to their power to predict an important outcome (Asendorpf, 2003; Bergman & Trost, 2006).”
Interpersonal Dynamics in Personality and Personality Disorders (2018, background): “…body of work makes it relatively clear from an empirical standpoint that the stable aspects of personality are better accounted for by hierarchical trait models than diagnostic categories (see Asendorpf, 2003; Asendorpf & van Aken, 1999, for a parallel literature on normal range traits and types).”
The Person-Oriented Versus the Variable-Oriented Approach: Are They Complementary, Opposites, or Exploring Different Worlds? (2006, unknown): “also be considered when evaluating the types if one wants them to express something more than a summary of patterns in data, as exemplified by the work done by Asendorpf and others to validate the RUO personality types (resilient, undercontrolled, and overcontrolled; Asendorpf, 2003).”
The relation between personality and prejudice: a variable‐ and a person‐centred approach (2003, background): “…person-centred approach has recently attracted a lot of interest in, especially Big Five, personality research, and especially in Europe (see Asendorpf, 2003; Asendorpf, Borkenau, Ostendorf, & van Aken, 2001; Asendorpf & van Aken, 1999; Barbaranelli, 2002; Boehm, Asendorpf, & Avia, 2002;…”
Longitudinal associations between personality traits and problem behavior symptoms in adolescence (2010, background): “…and externalizing behaviors, such as conduct disorder, attention deficits, hyperactivity, aggressiveness, risk taking, criminal behavior and substance dependence (e.g., Asendorpf, 2003; Ehrler et al., 1999; Lounsbury, Sunstrom, Loveland, & Gibson, 2003; Ozer & BenetMartínez, 2006; Paunonen, 1998).”
Temperament as a unifying basis for personality and psychopathology. (2005, background): “Yet, evidence indicates that for many disorders, the reliability and validity with which they can be assessed increases to the extent that they are treated as dimensions rather than categories (Asendorpf, 2003; Flett, Vredenberg, & Krames, 1997; Widiger, 1992a).”
