Abstract
Study I in this chapter reports an Indian (Marathi) adaptation of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), its psychometric evaluation, and gender differences based on data from 214 subjects. Factor analyses supported the Five-Factor Model and indicated factorial invariance across Indian and American cultures. The study also demonstrated the utility of oblique and orthogonal Procrustes rotations and multiple group factor analysis in evaluating the Five-Factor Model. Study II, employing 300 subjects, examined the Eysenckian correlates of the Indian (Marathi) NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). The obtained correlations provide validity evidence for the NEO-FFI and its parent instrument, the NEO-PI-R.
