Abstract
Adapting a personality-related measure to another language promotes personality theories through cross-cultural studies and enhances the fairness of testing. This thesis aims to adapt and validate different personality-related measures for use in the Kuwaiti population. Starting with a scoping review in Kuwait, the results pointed out two important conclusions: a) newly developed personality paradigms (e.g., trait emotional intelligence and belimp theory) were given less attention by researchers than their conventional counterparts such as the Big Five, and b) explicit measures dominated the field of personality assessment. Accordingly, we adapted two explicit measures (Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Short Form and belimp inventory) and one implicit measure (Big Five IAT), following the ITC (2017) guidelines. In addition, we attempted to construct the first implicit trait EI assessment through the trait EI IAT. To this end, we conducted several pilot investigations with a total sample of 493 participants followed by two main studies (n1 = 1458, n2 = 314). For the adaptation of the TEIQue-SF, the findings supported a bi-factor structure, with robust psychometric properties. For the belimp inventory, we proposed a new factor structure comprising three clusters of life domains, which was supported by our data. Further, we introduced implicit personality assessment in Kuwaiti psychology, developing appropriate and robust measures to assess it (Big Five and trait EI IATs). Overall, we believe the present thesis makes a significant and much needed contribution to the broad domains of personality and psychometrics in Kuwait.
