1. Frequency Tables For Acts

The following tables report probabilities for different frequency category at high, medium, and low (Z-score 1, 0, -1) levels of a given Big Five domain. Results are average marginal effects from ordinal logistic models controlling for age, gender, and education, with traits included as Z-scores (continuous). Ratio of >15 times category shown for convenience. Ratios for any frequency category can be obtained manually, from the percentages listed. For instance, in Table 1 below, for the act “Played golf,” the category never is 29% at a Z-score of 1, and 34% at a Z-score of -1. Thus, the ratio for the “never” category at high vs. low levels of the trait is .29 / .34 = .85.

2. Extension Analysis

Factor extension analysis, projects new measures into an existing factor space by estimating the correlations between new measures and existing factor scores (Horn, 1973). In this case, we used polyserial correlations, given the ordered categorical nature of the acts. These correlations were computed only in women for the acts “Did a breast self-exam,” “Had a pap smear,” and “Had a mammogram,” and only in men for the items “Did a testicular self-exam,” and “Had a prostate exam.” Extension analysis is generally used to estimate a magnitude of association between an external variable and an established factor space. Therefore, extension correlations are interpreted similar to factor loadings, with the expectation that they will tend to be smaller than traditional factor loadings since the new variable does not actually define the factor space (Gorsuch, 1997). The traditional criteria of extension analysis is thus a measure of “effect size”. A lower bound criteria of .30 is typical for conventional factor loadings, so in light of the smaller expected extension analysis loadings, we set a criteria of .20. It is worth noting that while some interpret the square of such a loading as a coefficient of determination (variance in act explained by Big Five factor), others argue that the absolute value may be the correct coefficient of determination in personality analyses (Ozer, 1985). Table 1 shows the top 10 extension variables loading on each Big 5 factor, partialing out age, gender, and education as in the primary analyses.

3. Distribution of Correlations Between Behaviors and Big Five Domains.

Shown below are descriptive statistics for the distribution formed by the 400 behavioral act correlations with a given Big Five domain. The mean is the average correlation with SD its standard deviation, q50 is the median, and q25 and q75 the interquartile range. Also shown are the number acts with loadings over .20, .25, and .30, and the number of acts having their highest loading on that domain. Finally, for each domain, the partial r controlling for age, gender, and education is shown in the first row, followed by a standard pearson correlation in the second row, followed by a polyserial correlation, followed by the multiple R from a regression with the act and its square as predictors to account for any non-linear associations.

Figures 1-5 Show the rank-ordered distribution of (absolute value) correlations from largest to smallest, similar in spirit to an eigenvalue plot. The grey region reflects the 95% confidence interval for each correlation. The graphs also show the 95th percentile of a correlation at each rank from 100 simulations, similar to parallel analysis. Any actual correlation larger than this value is significantly different than what occurs in random data. A reference line horizontally marks the .20 value, while a vertical reference line indicates the Bonferoni adjusted critical p-value.

4. Behavioral Act Scales

Another question is what sorts of Big Five behavioral scales might be formed from the top 10 acts loading on each factor in Table 1. The following analyses examine associations between these scales and the Big Five domain they are intended to represent. Results are presented in a multi-trait multi-method matrix, where trait descriptive adjectives vs. reported behaviors are two different methods of assessment.

Notes: E = Extraversion, A = Agreeableness, C = Conscientiousness, ES = Emotional Stability, I = IntellectFactors are principal component scores with presumed reliability of 1. Act scale reliability in diagonal. Convergent validity correlations bolded. Method variance block for components is near 0 due to orthogonal rotation.

5. All Acts, Correlations, and Multiple Correlations

The following table presents all 400 behavioral acts and their corresponding item numbers on the act inventory, as well a) the multiple R obtained by predicting each act with all five domains, and b) standardized regression coefficients for each domain from the regression model. Row numbers are provided for reference since the table is long.
