Analysis of personality Factors Pooled Across Criteria, Occupations, and Settings
I found 194 validity coefficients usable in the meta-analysis, but the number of coefficients differed among the Big Five. Emotional Stability was the most represented and Openness the least. Table I shows the results of the meta-analysis for the five factors. In the table,from top to bottom appear the number of validities, the total sample, the average observed validity weighed by sample size, the observed variance, the sampling error variance, the percentage of variance explained by artifactual errors, the validity corrected for predictor and criterion unreliability as well as range restriction, the estimated true validity at the construct level, the population standard deviation,and 90 credibility value(CV).
