Özet:

 One of the basic aims of psychology is to understand, explain, predict and control human behaviour. Personality characteristics are deemed essential units of human behaviour for this purpose particularly when e.g., selecting candidate employees for related positions in employment and industry or recognizing a person for any other purposes. The trait approach to personality with 5 main personality traits, i.e. Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness is a well-known model in the literature that is widely used internationally. Although parallel forms of these five traits were developed, or adaptations were made in Türkiye and in other countries, as different cultural contexts, the content and the number of these traits have not been fully challenged and questioned in Türkiye. The aim of this study is, using the whole procedure of lexical approach, to determine whether words used in Turkish vocabulary to describe personality traits confirm the big-five model in terms of content or not; and additionally, to check whether there are traits other than five traits. To this aim, responses to 352 personality-describing words were collected from 1178 non-randomly selected participants. The preliminary analysis confirmed the big-five model. In addition, it provided 5 new factors which may not necessarily be squeezed into the big-five model but can be found in other personality theories: psychoticism, Greedy-hedonism, tender-mindedness, existential integration and emotional orientation.

 Psikolojinin temel amaçlarından biri, insan davranışını anlamak, açıklamak, öngörmek ve kontrol etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda ve özellikle örneğin, işe alımlarda eleman seçerken kişilik özellikleri insan davranışını tanımlayan temel birimlerden biri olarak kabul edilir. Kaygı, Dışadönüklük, Deneyime Açıklık, Geçimlilik ve Sorumluluk olarak adlandırılan 5 ana kişilik özelliğiyle kişilikteki özellikler yaklaşımı, literatürde uluslararası düzeyde yaygın olarak kullanılan ve iyi bilinen bir modeldir. Bu beş özelliğin paralel formları Türkiye ve diğer farklı ülke ve kültürel bağlamlarda geliştirilmiş olmasına rağmen, bu özelliklerin içeriği ve sayısı ekonomik olarak gelişmiş sosyal bağlamlar dışındaki ülkelerde yeterince sorgulanmamış ve tartışılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sözlük yaklaşımının prosedürünü kullanarak, Türkçe sözlük dağarcığında kişilik özelliklerini tanımlamak için kullanılan kelimelerin, içerik açısından beş faktör modelini doğrulayıp doğrulamadığını belirlemek ve ayrıca, bu beş özellik dışında başka özelliklerin olup olmadığını kontrol etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, nitel analiz yoluyla seçilen ve 352de karar kılınan kişilik tanımlayıcı kelimelere verilen yanıtlar 1178 katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Analizlerin sonuçları, beş faktör modelini doğrulamıştır. Ancak buna ek olarak, beş faktör modeli içerisine sıkıştırılması işlevsel ve anlamlı gözükmeyen Merhametsizlik psychoticism, Hırs-hedonizm greed  Hedonism, Yumuşak huyluluk modesty, Varoluşsal bütünlük existential integration ve Duygusal yönelim emotional orientation şeklinde beş yeni kişilik ana boyutu daha gözlemlenmiştir.
