Numerous studies and meta-analyses have now confirmed that personality traits tend to correlate such that a general factor of personality (GFP) emerges. Nevertheless, there is an ongoing debate about what these correlations, and therefore the GFP, represents. One interpretation is that the GFP reflects a substantive factor that indicates general social effectiveness or emotional intelligence. Another interpretation is that the GFP merely is an artifact based on measurement or response bias. In the present paper, we elaborate on a selection of topics that are central to the debate about this construct. Specifically, we discuss (a) the GFP in relation to more specific personality dimensions (e.g., Big Five, facets), (b) the validity of the GFP and under what circumstances it seems to ‘disappear’, and (c) the theoretical and practical relevance of the general factor. Overall, the review should provide insight into the nature of the GFP and whether or not it represents a meaningful factor that can contribute to a better understanding of personality.

是否存在有意义的人格普遍因素?

大量研究和荟萃分析现已证实,人格特质往往相互关联,从而出现了人格的一般因素 (GFP)。然而,关于这些相关性以及 GFP 所代表的含义一直存在争议。一种解释是 GFP 反映了表明一般社会有效性或情商的实质性因素。另一种解释是 GFP 仅仅是基于测量或响应偏差的人工制品。在本论文中,我们详细阐述了有关该结构的辩论的核心主题。具体来说,我们讨论(a)GFP 与更具体的人格维度(例如,大五,方面),(b)GFP 的有效性以及在什么情况下它似乎“消失”,(c) 一般因素的理论和实践相关性。总体而言,审查应提供对 GFP 本质的洞察,以及它是否代表有助于更好地理解人格的有意义的因素。
