Adaptation and Validation of the Big Five Inventory-2-Short Form in a Sample of Moroccan Young Adults

A Person’s reactions and human behavioral information may be easily understood and anticipated if the personality traits underlying differences are correctly identified. The purpose of this study is to examine the adaptation and validation of the Big Five Inventory 2 Short Form (BFI-2-S) in the Moroccan context. This measure identifies the five major personality traits of persons: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, negative-Emotionally, and open-mindedness. The factor analysis confirms the five domains described by the BFI-2-S authors. The means and internal consistency of the five domains obtained are very satisfactory and close to those found in previous studies. The psychometric properties obtained from this study support the BFI-2-S’s applicability to Arabic-speaking young adults in the Moroccan context.
