RAZVOJ HRVATSKIH MARKERA VELEPETOROGA MODELA LIČNOSTI
The Development of Croatian Markers for the Big-Five Personality Model

Summary/Abstract: This article describes the development of Croatian markers for the measurement of the Big-Five personality model, in the form of bipolar and unipolar rating scales. A sample of students (N=250) used these scales to describe themselves, and they were also described by 250 of their best acquaintances on the same instruments. All four data sets (self-ratings and peer- -ratings with bipolar and unipolar markers) showed clear five- -factor structures. These factors were clearly and strongly related on a one-to-one basis with the American Big-Five model, measured with the Croatian version of IPIP instrument (Mla~i} & Goldberg, 2007). The examination of the relations of factor structures between self and peer ratings confirmed the equivalency of Big-Five correspondent dimensions in both rating procedures. All of the above-mentioned results suggest the use of Croatian Big-Five factor markers in future research.
