Sažetak
Following the notion that the lexical approach in personality psychology is suboptimal if it does not encompass all the word classes potentially personality-relevant (De Raad, 2000) ; a Croatian neo-taxonomy of personality descriptors is developing. In the first study of the Croatian neo-taxonomy three judges searched through the newest edition of a standard dictionary of the Croatian language (100 000 entries) for person-descriptive terms and extracted potentially personality-relevant terms from the five linguistic forms of personality descriptors (adjectives, attribute nouns, type nouns, verbs and adverbs). In the second study, the personality-descriptive adjectives that were not captured by the earlier Croatian personality taxonomy (Mlačić & Ostendorf, 2005) were categorized by seven judges into 13 different types of descriptors, based on the classification system developed by Angleitner, Ostendorf and John (1990). In the third study, the 532 adjectives that the majority of judges in the two taxonomies, respectively, classified as prototypical for the categories of social roles and relationships, social effects, and attitudes and worldviews were rated for self-descriptions by a large sample of (N>500) University of Zagreb students and for peer-descriptions by (N>500) students’ best acquaintances. Results from factor analyses are presented, as well as the relations of the underlying dimensions of social and reputational aspects of personality with the measures of social attitudes and the Big-Five factors of personality.
