Aim: The present study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the psychometric properties of the Arabic adaptation of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI-3) to be used in research of personality inventory in the Arabic context.
Methods: It is a validation study of an Arabic version (NEO-AR) of the NEO-FFI-3. An online version was used to collect 1306 samples using convenient sampling in two phases. The collected data tested the validity of the inventory by using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while reliability was verified using Cronbach’s alpha after an Arabic version was conjured using forward translation, testing, and back-translation.
Results: The principal axis factoring (PAF) and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are the analyses used to validate the factorial structure of the NEO-FFI-3 (NEO-AR). The reproduction of the original structure of NEO-FFI was proven using PAF, and CFA revealed a satisfactory fit of single-factor models for the five dimensions. The reliability analysis showed high values of internal consistency, which are congruent with previous international adaptations of the NEO-FFI-3.
Conclusion: The findings of the current study suggest that the Arabic version of the NEO-FFI-3 (NEO-AR) is a reliable and robust instrument to measure the five dimensions of personality of the Five-Factor Model facets as the original North America NEO-FFI-3. The results imply that the approach measuring psychological characteristics is successful across different cultures as in previous studies and the Arab World in this study.

在阿拉伯语背景下验证 NEO-FFI-3 的心理测量特性

目的：本研究旨在评估阿拉伯语改编的 NEO 五因素量表 (NEO-FFI-3) 的心理测量特性的有效性和可靠性，以用于阿拉伯语背景下的人格量表研究。
方法：这是对 NEO-FFI-3 的阿拉伯语版本 (NEO-AR) 的验证研究。使用在线版本通过两个阶段的便捷采样收集了 1306 个样本。收集的数据通过使用探索性因素分析 (EFA) 和验证性因素分析 (CFA) 来测试库存的有效性，而在使用正向翻译、测试和反向翻译的阿拉伯语版本后，使用 Cronbach's alpha 验证可靠性。
结果：主轴因子分解 (PAF) 和验证因子分析 (CFA) 是用于验证 NEO-FFI-3 (NEO-AR) 的因子结构的分析。使用 PAF 证明了 NEO-FFI 原始结构的再现，CFA 揭示了五个维度的单因素模型的令人满意的拟合。可靠性分析表明内部一致性值很高，这与之前对 NEO-FFI-3 的国际改编一致。
结论：目前的研究结果表明，阿拉伯文版本的 NEO-FFI-3 (NEO-AR) 是一种可靠且强大的工具，可作为原始北美 NEO- 测量五因素模型方面人格的五个维度。 FFI-3。结果表明，测量心理特征的方法在不同文化中是成功的，如先前的研究和本研究中的阿拉伯世界。
