Personality Traits of Cultural Groups

Description

This dataset, from Grice & Iwasaki (2007), gives scores on the five personality scales of the NEO PI-r (Costa & McCrae, 1992), called the "Big Five" personality traits: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness-to-Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness.

Format

A data frame with 203 observations on the following 7 variables.

ID

ID number

Group

a factor with levels Eur Asian_Amer Asian_Intl

N

Neuroticism score

E

Extraversion score

O

Openness score

A

Agreeableness score

C

Conscientiousness score

Details

The groups are:

Eur

European Americans (Caucasians living in the United States their entire lives)

Asian_Amer

Asian Americans (Asians living in the United States since before the age of 6 years)

Asian_Intl

Asian Internationals (Asians who moved to the United States after their 6th birthday)

The factor Group is set up to compare E vs. Asian and the two Asian groups
