Den konceptuella världen av personlighetspsykologi: Redundant eller relevant? En korrelationsstudie om överlappningen mellan Samvetsgrannhet, Self-Efficacy och Grit
(2023) PSYK11 20222Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Följande studie undersökte hur de personlighetspsykologiska begreppen samvetsgrannhet, self-efficacy och grit korrelerar med varandra. Målet med studien var att undersöka om det finns något gemensamt överlapp mellan mätningarna av dessa tre begrepp, då begreppen har mycket lika definitioner. Undersökningen utgjordes av en enkät som bestod av tre mätinstrument; Big Five Personality Inventory, Swedish Grit Scale och General Self-Efficacy Scale. Enkäten genomfördes av 103 deltagare. Resultatet visade starkast disattenuerad korrelation mellan samvetsgrannhet och grit (r = .92), följt av korrelationen mellan grit och self-efficacy (r = .42) och mellan samvetsgrannhet och self-efficacy (r = .39). En principalkomponentanalys visade en gemensam... (More)

En principalkomponentanalys visade en gemensam varians på 65.8% mellan begreppen. Enligt författarnas definition av redundans (över 50% överlappning) bedömdes samvetsgrannhet och grit vara redundanta, det vill säga att begreppen mäter samma konstrukt till en så pass stor grad att bara en av dem borde behållas. De resterande två korrelationerna bedömdes som starka, dock inte tillräckligt starka för att vara redundanta. Slutsatsen är att användningen av det nyare begreppet grit är mindre relevant än användningen av det äldre begreppet samvetsgrannhet. (Less)
- Abstract
- The following study investigated how the different personality psychology concepts; conscientiousness, self-efficacy and grit correlate with each other. The goal of the study was to explore if there is any common overlap between the measurements of these three concepts, as the concepts have very similar definitions. The survey consisted of a questionnaire that included three measuring instruments; Big Five Personality Inventory, Swedish Grit Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale. The survey was completed by 103 participants. The result showed the strongest disattenuated correlation between conscientiousness and grit (r = .92), followed by the correlation between grit and self-efficacy (r = .42) and between conscientiousness and...

The survey consisted of a questionnaire that included three measuring instruments; Big Five Personality Inventory, Swedish Grit Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale.

The result showed the strongest disattenuated correlation between conscientiousness and grit (r = .92), followed by the correlation between grit and self-efficacy (r = .42) and between conscientiousness and self-efficacy (r = .39). A principal component analysis showed a common variance of 65.8% between the concepts. According to the authors' definition of redundancy (r = <.50), conscientiousness and grit were judged to be redundant. That is, the concepts measure the same construct to such a large degree that only one of them should be retained. The remaining two correlations were judged to be strong, but not strong enough to be redundant. The conclusion is that the usage of the newer concept grit is less relevant than the usage of the older concept conscientiousness. (Less)
