A systematic examination of a problematic item in the 10-item Big Five Inventory

This dataset consists of 10 data files: Dataset1.csv, Dataset2.csv, Dataset3.csv, Dataset4.csv, Dataset5_WVS(Singapore).csv, Dataset6_WVS(South_Africa).csv, Dataset7_Tobin_Guadagno_2022.csv, Dataset8_Dufault_2023.csv, Dataset9_ISSP(New_Zealand).csv, and Dataset_ISSP(Germany).csv. Each data file contains participants' responses to the items in the 10-item Big Five personality inventory (BFI-10; Rammstedt & John, 2007) or the 44-item version (BFI-44; John et al., 1991). They were used to investigate a problematic item in the BFI. The results were reported in the manuscript "Overlooked for three decades: A systematic examination of a problematic item in the 10-item big five inventory" published as a PsyArXiv preprint on https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/mvnhy_v1.
