Five-factor inventories have a major general factor related to social desirability which can be reduced by framing items neutrally. (2009, background): “Most recently DeYoung, Peterson, and Higgins (2002) proposed, based on Digman’s model, that facets of the five factors reveal a loading structure that can be attributed to two higher-order factors, called plasticity and stability.”
The measurement of Human Life History strategy (2013, methodology): “traits, with Digman (1997) and DeYoung et al.’s (2002) Big Two traits (Stability or Alpha; and Plasticity or Beta) occupying the next”
Psychopathy as a clinical and empirical construct. (2008, result): “Similar results have been reported in other large-sample factor analytic research (DeYoung et al. 2001, Musek 2007).”
Morning people are stable people: Circadian rhythm and the higher-order factors of the Big Five (2007, methodology): “…Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness form a first factor, labeled Stability, while Extraversion and Openness/Intellect form a second, labeled Plasticity (DeYoung et al., 2002).1 Stability is evident in emotional (Neuroticism), social (Agreeableness), and motivational (Conscientiousness) domains.”
A Model of Socioemotional Flexibility at Three Time Scales (2013, background): “This trait flexibility is the flexibility construct described by personality theorists (e.g., Catell, 1946; DeYoung et al., 2002) and theories of ego development and resilience (e.g., Block, 2002), often most closely associated with neuroticism (Eid & Deiner, 1999).”
Cybernetic Big Five Theory. (2015, background): “mechanisms designed to meet these two needs (DeYoung, 2006, 2010c; DeYoung et al., 2002).”
Stealthy Footsteps to the Boardroom: Executives' Backgrounds, Sophisticated Interpersonal Influence Behavior, and Board Appointments (2010, methodology): “Fit indexes for the measurement model were consistently high, suggesting a strong model fi t (CFI index = .98; RMSEA index = .03; χ 2 was non-signifi cant [ p -value > .20]) (Digman, 1997; Byrne, 2005; DeYoung, 2006).”
Does self-esteem account for the higher-order factors of the Big Five? (2009, background): “DeYoung et al. (2002) and DeYoung (2006) found the same two higher-order factors which were termed Stability (alpha) and Plasticity (beta), and linked to the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, respectively.”
Two Concepts or Two Approaches? A Bifactor Analysis of Psychological and Subjective Well-Being (2013, methodology): “F. F. Chen et al. The second-order model has been widely used in applied research when measurement instruments assess several related facets (e.g., DeYoung et al. 2002; Marsh et al. 2002).”
Trait emotional intelligence anchored within the Big Five, Big Two and Big One frameworks (2014, methodology): “These Big Two (B2) have been replicated by DeYoung, Peterson, and Higgins (2002) who re-labeled the superfactors as Alpha as Stability and Beta as Plasticity, and observed they were correlated (r = .24).”
