A Five-Factor Theory Perspective (2002, background): “We do know that people who grow up in the same culture tend to show similar personality profiles relative to people from other cultures (McCrae, 2000a), but it is not clear how to interpret that finding.”
Individualism-collectivism and personality. (2001, background): “If indeed the Big-Five traits are substantially heritable (McCrae, 2000), this suggests that future research may find some biological bases of allocentrism and idiocentrism, over and above the environmental bases emphasized in this paper.”
Personality and Culture Revisited: Linking Traits and Dimensions of Culture (2004, methodology): “But using the new model of personality and culture advocated here (see also McCrae, 2000) and the evidence that culture-level traits can be legitimately operationalized as the mean of individual trait levels,personality can be related to almost any feature of culture.”
Simultaneous administration of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale in 53 nations: exploring the universal and culture-specific features of global self-esteem. (2005, background): “It is necessary to distinguish at least two different levels of cultural analysis (McCrae, 2000).”
The Geographic Distribution of Big Five Personality Traits (2007, background): “…set of cultures provided a unique opportunity to apply the multimethod-multitrait research strategy (Campbell & Fiske, 1959) to the study of personality at the level of intercultural analysis where each culture is treated as a single subject (for discussion of levels of analysis, see McCrae, 2000).”
Implicit Theories and Self-Perceptions of Traitedness Across Cultures (2006, background): “Two theoretical perspectives dominate research on culture and personality—trait psychology, in which the trait concept is central (McCrae, 2000), and cultural psychology, in which the trait concept is questioned (Markus & Kitayama, 1998).”
Human nature and culture: A trait perspective (2004, background): “The new approach I will describe applies current knowledge of trait psychology and trait assessment to problems of personality-and-culture, adopts more sophisticated statistical models, and acknowledges the fundamental role of genetics in shaping personality traits (McCrae, 2000).”
Relation between big five personality traits and Hofstede's cultural dimensions (2011, background): “Trait psychology has emerged over the past 30 years as a strong anchor for the theoretical basis of understanding the core definers of the individual in terms of thoughts, feelings, and patterns of action ( McCrae, 2000”
Leadership and public service motivation: a systematic synthesis (2021, background): “…view of public service motivation (Perry and Wise 1990), and its association with personality (Jang 2012), there is reason to suspect that public service motivation—once developed—is relatively stable over time in spite of influences from the environment (McCrae 2000; McCrae and Costa 1987).”
