Abstract

Analyzed the psychometric characteristics of five BFI-S scales and determined the efficiency of the scale to obtain the required psychometric characteristics. The study is a non-experimental, prospective, and applied field study with a cross-section and related post hoc design. This sample is a non-probabilistic sample of 648 Panamanian adults who responded to the BFI Personality Scale, part of an international study on the psychological and behavioral impact of the COVID-19 crisis called the COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey conducted by Lieberoth and others. The instrument is part of an inventory that integrates eight other scales. The principal component extraction method was used, and the rotation method used was the Varimax normalization with Kaiser. The data was analyzed with Cronbach's Alpha statistic to calculate the reliability of the test. The results indicate that the construct does not have validity or reliability for the Panamanian sample.
