Personality and Political Discussion (2011, background): “Fortunately, as we discussed earlier, in recent years psychologists have worked to develop five and ten item personality surveys that perfectly suit our needs (Gosling et al. 2003; Rammstedt and John 2007; Woods and Hampson 2005 ).”
Is short in length short in content? An examination of the domain representation of the Ten Item Personality Inventory scales in Dutch language (2008, methodology): “Although the completion time of these instruments is considerably shorter as compared to the NEO-PI-R, the need for an even briefer instrument remained ( Woods & Hampson, 2005 ).”
The single-item need to belong scale. (2013, background): “As a result, many single-item scales have emerged , including measures of self-esteem (Robins, Hendin, & Trzesniew ski, 2001 ), the Big Five (Woods & Hampson, 2005 ), and job satisfaction (Wanous et al., 1997 ).”
Personality Traits and the Consumption of Political Information (2011, background): “…Five trait, interitem correlations between the two items used to measure each trait are less informative of the items’ reliability (Gosling, 2009; more generally, see Kline, 2000 and Woods & Hampson, 2005 on the misleading nature of alphas calculated on scales with only a small number of items).”
Ethical Leadership and Followers’ Moral Judgment: The Role of Followers’ Perceived Accountability and Self-leadership (2014, background): “…to assess job satisfaction (Wanous et al. 1997), quality of life (Zimmerman et al. 2006), big five personality dimensions (Paulhus and Bruce 1992; Woods and Hampson 2005), readiness to change (Williams et al. 2007) or self-esteem Table 4 Hierarchical moderated regression results Dependent…”
Construct Validation of a short Five-Factor Model Instrument: A Self-Peer Study on the German Adaptation of the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI-G). (2007, neutral): “Woods and Hampson (2005) developed a five-item instrument (the SIMP) by providing characterizations of each of the 10 poles of the FFM dimensions; the SIMP measures were reliable (i.e., temporally stable), showed reasonable self/other agreement in four of the five domains, converged with other…”
A new measure of brand personality (2009, background): “The trend away from overly long scales (Burisch, 1997) and the demand for efficient yet psychometrically soundmeasures resulted first in a 40-itemversion (Saucier,1994), and recently in 10- (Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003; Rammstedt & John, 2007) and 5-item scales (Woods & Hampson, 2005).”
The self-report method. (2007, methodology): “Other successful examples are the Flve-Item Personality Inventory (FIPI) (Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003) and the Single-Item Measures of Personality (SIMP)(Woods & Hampson, 2005), which capture each of the Big Five factors with a single item.”
The happy personality: Mediational role of trait emotional intelligence (2007, background): “There is growing interest in short measures of personality and recent research has shown that even single item measures of the Big Five have adequate reliability and validity ( Woods & Hampson, 2005 ).”
