Lesson 1 Project 1 Assessment Assignment: Personality Assessment (Big 5 +3)
For this assignment you will need to complete and score a set of personality measures, as well as compute, compile, and analyze the scores.
Step 1. Making Predictions. Think about the relationship between the following 8 personality characteristics:
Stress Self-Esteem Overall Satisfaction with Life Extroversion Agreeableness Conscientiousness Negative Emotionality Openness to Experience
Write down at least 3 predictions you might have about the relationships between any two of these variables. For example, you might predict the people who are more satisfied with life would have lower levels of stress, or that people who were more extroverted would have higher levels of self-esteem. Feel free to predict negative relationships, too (Life Satisfaction with Stress, or Openness to Experience with Introversion?). There are no right or wrong predictions; only hypotheses that you are going to put to the test!
Prediction #1 I predict that a higher level of agreeableness could lead to higher levels of stress.
Prediction #2 I think that self-esteem and openness to experience can definitely go hand-in-hand and affect each other either both high or both low.
Prediction #3 I predict people who have high self-esteem have higher overall satisfaction with life. __________________________________________________________________
Step 2: Complete the Measures. Complete each of the following measures and enter your scores on the Score Sheet below in the first column that says, (1) Your Scores:
The Perceived Stress Scale: das.nh/wellness/Docs/Percieved%20Stress%20Scale.pdf
The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

66% 66% 70%
Step 3: Recruiting Other Participants. Ask seven (7) other friends, family members or peers to complete the same instruments and enter their scores in columns 2 through 8. When you are done you should have 8 scores for each of 8 people (including yourself), for a total of 64 scores. (Feel free to ask other students in the course if they would be willing to share their scores, too, if you would prefer that over recruiting friends and family).
Step 4: Calculating the Correlations. Now go to this site to calculate the correlation among your eight different measures.
easycalculation/statistics/correlation-matrix.php To compute your correlations, go to the field that asks for the number of your matrix and put 8. This will open an 8 X 8 matrix that will allow you to enter all of your scores. Enter them exactly as they appear in your matrix above. The first box in the matrix will be for your Perceived Stress
