【 摘 要 】

This dissertation examines the extent to which personality items that weredeveloped to describe personality in general are adequate descriptors of personalitywithin a specific context. This research provides for a deeper understanding ofcontextualized personality assessment by examining the effects of item contextspecificity and perceived context relevance on the measurement properties of Big FiveConscientiousness facets within the contexts of work and school. Results indicate that anitem’s discrimination is related to its perceived context relevance and its level of contextspecificity. Implications for the improved measurement of personality are discussed.
