McCrae, R. R., & Allik, J. (Eds.). (2002). The Five-Factor model of personality across cultures. Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers. book was designed to further an understanding of the interrelations between personality and culture by examining the dominant paradigm for personality assessment--the Five-Factor Model or FFM--in a wide variety of cultural contexts. Data from 40 cultural groups are used to address a variety of issues: Is the FFM universal? Do personality traits have the same correlates in different cultures? How are mean levels of personality traits related to features of cultures, such as Individualism/Collectivism? Are stereotypes of national character accurate? The book is unified by the use of a single model of personality, and, in most cases, a single instrument, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory. Many of the chapters provide psychometric evaluations of new translations of this instrument. However, all chapters view personality assessment in cultural context. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and theory about personality traits and culture that is extremely relevant to personality psychologists, cross-cultural psychologists, and psychological anthropologists.
