Abstract

Cet article passe en revue les recherches transculturelles sur les grandes évaluations de la personnalité dans les pays asiatiques, à savoir le MMPI, l’EPQ, le STAI et le NEO‐PI‐R. On aborde la question de l’application interculturelle de tests traduits. L’Inventaire d’Evaluation de la Personnalité Chinois (CPAI) est mentionné comme exemple de travaux autochtones qui ont mis en évidence des dimensions originales ou importantes. Développéà l’origine en tant qu’outil d’évaluation culturellement approprié au peuple chinois, le CPAI a ensuite permis de mettre à l’épreuve l’universalité des théories occidentales de la personnalité. Le facteur spécifique du CPAI relatif aux liens interpersonnels est utile pour l’étude d’un aspect de la personnalité qui est absent des mesures de la personnalité importées. On examine aussi les défis à venir qui attendent la recherche et les applications concernant l’évaluation de la personnalité en Asie. This paper reviews the cross‐cultural research on major personality measures in Asian countries, including the MMPI, EPQ, STAI, and the NEO‐PI‐R. Considerations in the cross‐cultural application of translated tests are discussed. The Chinese Personality Assessment Inventory (CPAI) is cited as an example of indigenous measures that have identified culturally salient or unique dimensions. Although developed originally as a culturally relevant assessment tool for Chinese people, the CPAI has also become a means to examine the universality of Western personality theories. The unique Interpersonal Relatedness factor of the CPAI is useful to the study of an aspect of personality that has been absent in imported personality measures. Future challenges for research and applications of personality assessment in Asia are discussed.
