Introduction The Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI) 29-Item,
each involving the selection of four options that are different for
each item. Although there is an Arabic version, it is not identical to
the original version in terms of the number of items and response.
Objectives to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic
adaptation OHI and its factorial structure in undergraduate sample.
Methods The participants were 720 first year undergraduate
Kuwaitis: 360 males mean age = 20.38 ± 1.60 and 360 females;
mean age = 19.71 ± 1.39 (t = 5.87, P < 0.001). The Arabic version
of OHI (Argyle, Martin, & Crossland) was administered to partic-
ipants. The internal consistency reliability, factor structure, and
convergent validity of the OHI with Life Orientation Test (LOT-R,
Adult Hope Scale (AHS), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) were
assessed as well as divergent validity of the OHI with Beck Depres-
sion Inventory-II (BDI-II)
Results Internal consistency was satisfactory for the OHI (Cron-
bach’s alpha = 0.87) for males and (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.86) for
females. The results revealed no significant gender differences on
happiness (F = 1.77, P > 05). Principal component analyses (PCA)
showed that a seven-component solution explains %50.50 of the
total variance for males and 51.47% for females. The OHI posi-
tively correlates with the following variables: SWLS (r= .52), LOT-R
(r = 0.56) AHS (r = .48) while the OHI correlates negatively with BDI-
II (r= -54).
Conclusions Findings confirm that the OHI provides satisfactory
validation, and thus it can be recommended as a measure of hap-
piness among Arab samples.

Introduction Perfectionist Self Presentation represents the inter-
personal expression of perfectionism wherein individuals engage
in strategies that promote their supposed perfection and conceal
their perceived imperfections (Hewitt et al., 2003).
Objective To investigate the psychometric properties of the Por-
tuguese version of the Perfectionist Self Presentation Scale/PSPS.
Methods Two hundred and eighty-six university students (69.2%
females; mean age = 21.09 ±2.133) answered the Portuguese pre-
liminary version of the PSPS, and the Portuguese validated
versions of: Multidimensional Perfectionism Scales, Dirty Dozen
and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale. To study the temporal
stability, 30 participants (66.7% females) answered the PSPS again
after six weeks. SPSS and MPlus were used.
Results The PSPS Cronbach alpha was .91. The test-retest correla-
tion coefficientwas .66 (P < .01). Exploratory factor analysis resulted
in a three dimension’smodel ( 2 = 1974.015,P < .01; RMSEA = 0.079,
90% CI = 0.069–0.088; CFI = 0.869; TLI = 0.812; SRMR = 0.046). The
three factors presented good internal consistency: F1 Perfection-
ist self-presentation (PSPS; a = .85), F2 Interpersonal Concern over
mistakes (ICM; a = .79); F3 Perfectionist image (PI; a = .70).
PSP and ICM (and PI with fewer significant coefficients and
lower magnitudes) were moderately to highly correlate with
personal standards, concern over mistakes, doubts about action,
self-oriented perfectionism and social prescribed perfectionism
(≥ .40). Correlationswith narcissismandmachiavellianism, anxiety
and stress were moderate (r = .30) (all P < .01).
Conclusions The Portuguese version of PSPS has good reliabil-
ity and validity, with the factorial model presenting an acceptable
fit (Hair et al., 2004). It could be very useful both in clinical and
research contexts, namely in an ongoing research project on the
relationship between perfectionism and interpersonal functioning.

Introduction The Five-Factor Model organizes human per-
sonality traits under a comprehensive framework of five
dimensions–neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience,
agreeableness and conscientiousness. The dimensions are empir-
ical generalizations of enduring differences in behavioural,
emotional and cognitive patterns between individuals. The Por-
tuguese version of the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI-20) is
increasingly used as it is the shortest version to evaluate the “Big
5”.
Objective To investigate the reliability and the validity of the Por-
tuguese version of NEO-FFI-20-item (Bertoquini & Pais Ribeiro) in
a Portuguese sample, using exploratory and confirmatory factor
analysis (EFA and CFA).
Methods 747 participants [417 (55.8%) women; mean
age = 42.13 ±12.349 years] answered an online survey which
included the NEO-FFI-20 and socio-demographic questions. The
total sample was randomly divided in two sub-samples (sample A,
n = 373; sample B, n = 374). Sample A was used to EFA and sample
B was used to CFA.
Results The Portuguese version of NEO-FFI-20, excluding items
14 and 16, had an acceptable fit to the data ( 2/df = 2.28; TLI = .88;
CFI = .90; RMSEA = .06; P = .059). The internal consistency analysis
resulted in: Neuroticism, = .68; Extraversion, = .62; Openness to
Experience, = .74; Agreeableness, = .70; and Conscientiousness,
= .74.
Conclusions The NEO-FFI-20 can be used to reliably and validly
evaluate the BIG FIVE in an ongoing research project on traffic psy-
chology to better understand and respond to risky behaviours on
the road.
