Towards a taxonomy of Croatian personality-descriptive terms
After the series of methodological studies with Goldberg's Big-Five markers in Croatia (Knezovic and Mlacic 1994, 1996, 1997 ; Knezovic, Mlacic and Bubaš, 1997), we conducted another study in the field of lexical approach in personality psychology. This study covers the first two phases of a comprehensive taxonomy of Croatian personality-descriptive terrns. In the first phase, i.e., analysis of the Croatian dictionary (Anic, 1991), three judges (psychologists) jointly culled out 3514 adjectives, 4195 attribute nouns and 2936 type nouns they considered potentially personality-relevant. Since the Croatian dictionary used in this study consisted of approximately 60 000 entries, about 17% of total Croatian vocabulary can be considered potentially personality-relevant. To examine the comprehensiveness of the list extracted from the dictionary, the initial pool was checked against a few additional sources (Croatian-English dictionary, Goldberg's unipolar and bipolar markers, etc.). The final master list of Croatian personality descriptive terms consisted of 3874 adjectives, 4249 attribute nouns and 2970 type nouns. In the second phase of Croatian taxonomy of personality-descriptive terms, i.e., classification of adjectives into person descriptive categories, we used the methodology developed by German taxonomists (Angleitner et al. 1990). Seven judges (psychologists) cIassified 3874 adjectives into 13 categories, with five superordinate categories: 1)Dispositions, 2) Temporary conditions, 3) Social and reputational aspects, 4) Overt characteristics and appearance and 5) Terms of limited utility. The analyses of the second phase of Croatian taxonomy are underway and will be presented at the conference.
