Personality and Culture: A Comparison of Francophones and Anglophones in Québec
|
| Abstract |
The authors compared the personality characteristics of fifty Francophones and fifty Anglophones aged 16 to 64 years, measuring extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, lying, openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness, conservatism and altruism. On most of these personality traits, the two groups did not differ. However, they did find that the Francophones scored higher than did the Anglophones on psychoticism and on one measure of extraversion, and the Anglophones scored higher than did the Francophones on conservatism, but the two groups did not differ on the other personality traits. Men scored higher than did women on psychoticism, and women scored higher than did men on conscientiousness and agreeableness. Conservatism and altruism increased with age.
