摘要

Evidence for the general factor of personality (GFP) was found in analyses of correlations among scores on the Big Five personality factors (Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Emotional Stability) from 278 Iranian women and 322 Iranian men. The Big Five were measured by the Persian translation of the 50-item, self-report, International Personality Item Pool (). Loadings of the Big Five on the first unrotated factor from principal components analyses revealed the GFP for the entire sample and for both women and men, separately. Results demonstrated cross-cultural consistency of the GFP. A possible neurological substrate of the GFP, prefrontal asymmetries, is discussed.
