Das von Borkenau und Ostendorf [ 1 ] übersetzte NEO-Fünf-Faktoren-Inventar (NEO-FFI) zur Erfassung fünf robuster Persönlichkeitsfaktoren nach Costa und McCrae [ 2 ] hat sich in den letzten Jahren auch im deutschen Sprachraum etabliert. Die Ergebnisse unserer Untersuchung einer repräsentativen Bevölkerungsstichprobe [ 3 ] zeigten allerdings Probleme bei der Replikation der Faktorenstruktur auf. Ungenügende Kennwerte einzelner Items führten zu teilweise unbefriedigenden Skalenkennwerten. Logische Konsequenz war die Entwicklung einer ökonomischen Kurzversion mit besseren psychometrischen Eigenschaften. Im Beitrag werden Item- und Skalenwerte des NEO-FFI-30 anhand der deutschen Bevölkerungsstichprobe (n = 1908) berichtet, wobei alle Items ihre höchste Trennschärfe auf der jeweils zugeordneten Skala aufweisen. Die Skalen erreichen akzeptable interne Konsistenzen und korrelieren hoch mit den originalen NEO-FFI-Skalen. Es zeigen sich nahezu identische Abhängigkeiten von soziodemografischen Variablen und Korrelationen mit dem Gießen-Test. Des Weiteren lässt sich die Faktorenstruktur in einer unabhängigen Prüfstichprobe von 2508 Erwachsenen bestätigen. Damit sprechen die Ergebnisse für Reliabilität, faktorielle und Konstruktvalidität des NEO-FFI-30. Over these past years, German researchers have shown much interest for Costa and McCrae's five factor model as well as for their instrument: the NEO-Five-Factor Inventory [ 2 ]. Nevertheless, results from a recent survey study using the German version of the NEO-FFI [ 1 ] on a representative population sample (n = 1908) have reported problems to replicate the factor structure of the instrument [ 3 ]. Insufficient psychometric indices of single items led to partly unsatisfactory scale values. A logical consequence of this was the development of a short version of the instrument with better psychometric properties. This article reports item and scale values of the NEO-FFI-30 for the German population sample. The five scales reach good internal consistency and are highly correlated with the original NEO-FFI scales. Furthermore, the influence of sociodemographic variables and correlations with the Gießentest appear to be very similar for both the original instrument and the short version. Moreover, the factor structure was replicated in an independent sample of 2508 adults. Results confirm the reliability, and factor and construct validity of this economic instrument without any significant loss in information.

Self-compassion, typically operationalized as the total score of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003b), has been shown to be related to increased psychological well-being and lower depression in students of the social sciences, users of psychology websites and psychotherapy patients. The current study builds on the existing literature by examining the link between self-compassion and depressive symptomatology in a sample representative of the German general population (n = 2,404). The SCS subscales of self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification, and the “self-coldness”, composite score, which encompass these three negative subscales, consistently differed between subsamples of individuals without any depressive symptoms, with any depressive syndromes, and with major depressive disorder. The contribution of the positive SCS subscales of self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness to the variance in depressive symptomatology was almost negligible. However, when combined to a “self-compassion composite”, the positive SCS subscales significantly moderated the relationship between “self-coldness” and depressive symptoms in the general population. This speaks for self-compassion having the potential to buffer self-coldness related to depression—providing an argument for interventions that foster self-caring, kind, and forgiving attitudes towards oneself.

Zusammenfassung. Das von Borkenau und Ostendorf (1993) übersetzte NEO Fünf-Faktoren Inventar (NEO-FFI) zur Erfassung fünf robuster Persönlichkeitsfaktoren nach Costa und McCrae (1989) hat sich in den letzten Jahren auch im deutschen Sprachraum etabliert. Im Beitrag werden Ergebnisse einer teststatistischen Überprüfung anhand einer bundesweiten Bevölkerungsstichprobe vorgestellt (n = 1908) und mit den Angaben im Testhandbuch verglichen, die auf einer nichtrepräsentativen Stichprobe basieren. Während die Skalen akzeptable interne Konsistenzen erreichen, erscheint die faktoranalytische Stabilität der Skalen problematisch. Weiterhin wird die Abhängigkeit der Skalenwerte von Alter, Geschlecht, Wohnsitz und Bildungsgrad untersucht. Die Interkorrelationen der NEO-FFI-Skalen werden berichtet. Mittels Faktorstrukturvergleichen nach dem Fischer-Roppert-Verfahren wird die Ähnlichkeit der anhand der Bevölkerungsstichprobe ermittelten Ladungsmatrix mit der im Testhandbuch beschriebenen Faktorstruktur auf Itemebene beurteilt. Außerdem werden Korrelationen zwischen den Skalen des NEO-FFI und des gleichzeitig erhobenen Gießen-Tests (GT) mitgeteilt.

The Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire (ICQ) developed by Buhrmester and colleagues ( 1988 ) in the US assesses the multidimensional construct of social competence via five distinct, but related subscales. Two versions comprising 40 and 30 items, respectively, are available in German. The purpose of the current study is to develop and validate a brief version of the ICQ among a large adult sample that is representative of the German general population. Data were collected from 2,009 participants. Three confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted in order to develop and validate the ICQ-15. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were computed for the ICQ-15. An initial CFA with the ICQ-30 formed the basis for the selection of the items to be included in the ICQ-15. Two subsequent CFA’s with the ICQ-15 revealed an excellent fit of the hypothesized five-factor model to the observed data. Internal consistency coefficients were in the adequate range. This preliminary evaluation shows that the ICQ-15 is a structurally valid measure of interpersonal competence recommended for research contexts with limited assessment time and for psychotherapy progress tracking in clinical settings.
