PROPRIETĂŢI PSIHOMETRICE ALE VERSIUNII ROMÂNE A CHESTIONARULUI DE PERSONALITATE ZUCKERMAN-KUHLMAN (ZKPQ): DATE PRELIMINARE
Psychometric Properties of the Romanian Version of the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire: Preliminary Data

Summary/Abstract: The Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ) was developed to define and assess the basic factors of personality, expressed in a new model. The guiding assumption for this model (Alternative Five-Factor Model /AFFM) was that basic personality traits are those with a strong biological-evolutionary basis. AFFM emerged from a series of factor analyses based on data collected, mainly from psychobiological research. In the present paper we have assessed the psychometric properties of a Romanian translation of ZKPQ. The questionnaire was administrated to a total sample of 825 subjects (305 male and 520 female) with age range from 18 to 54. The data collected were used in order to test the reliability and validity for the Romanian sample. The results revealed a good consistency of all the scales and good construct validity. In the same, time, by making comparative analyses with other language versions, our data demonstrate a good cross-cultural reliability of the questionnaire. All findings proved the Romanian version of the ZKPQ is a reliable tool to assess personality’ structure and process for research and assessment purposes.
