The Big Five
Over the past couple of decades humans have constantly evolved and continue evolving
as time passes by. Characteristics that humans have can be improved and stretched at any point
throughout their lives. New experiences or situations that humans are put through can be a big
factor in changing their personality traits and characteristics. When looking at the characteristics
that people maintain, certain people believe that there are five main characteristics that shape a
person and make them who they are. The five traits are: conscientiousness, openness,
extraversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness(Staikovic, 2018). The traits are not a speculation of
character, but an innovative form of admiration. The big five traits remain present through one’s
lifetime but some may be more significant than the others throughout their lifetime.
The Big Five traits play a part in structuring a person’s character. Everyone goes through
some type of situations in life that changes them for better or for worse. According to Staikovic,
“All traits are imbedded in our personality but according to our actions and activities we involve
ourselves in, one always shines through” (2018). Personality and social cognition each have an
influential role in human behavior. Each of the Big Five represents a broad set of behavioral
characteristics. In fact, the “Big Five” modelis the most well-known model for personality. The
five personality traits are neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and
conscientiousness. These five traits are viewed as the most basic dimensions of personality.
Between adolescence to young adulthood these traits are explored and typically some are more
significant than the others (Shi, J. et al., 2018). It is relevant to investigate how personality traits
are even associated with psychotic experiences in youth because some traits can be manipulated
over time and some develop during different development periods. According to (Martin,
1997),Behavioral genetics research has shown that each of the Big Five is influenced by both
genetic and environmental factors and most traits are passed down through genetics to a degree.
One trait: extraversion represents individual differences in social engagement, assertiveness, and
energy level. Individuals who are highly extraverted enjoy socializing with others and making an
effort to go out and be comfortable expressing themselves in group situations (Martin, 1997).
Often times they experience positive emotions such as enthusiasm and excitement. This is a main
