Five Factor model
OCEAN is openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.
These big five traits consist of lower-level units of personality called facets.
, Openness: fantasy prone, open to feelings, open to different ideas, and diverse behavior.
Conscientiousness: competent, orderly, dutiful, self-disciplined, achievement oriented.
Extraversion: warm, assertive, active, excitement-seeking, positive emotionality.
Agreeableness: trusting, straightforward, altruistic, compliant, modest, tender-minded.
Neuroticism: anxious, angry, depressed, self-conscious, impulsive, vulnerable.
The HEXACO adds Honesty-Humility as a sixth dimension, which is for being sincere, fair
and modest or manipulative, narcissistic and self-centered.
The person-situation debate
If one looks closely at people’s behavior across many different situations, the consistency is
not that good. Mischel said that psychologists should focus on people’s distinctive reactions
to specific situations instead of a person’s personality traits in itself. Specific behaviors are
driven by the interaction between specific psychologically meaningful features of the
situation and someone’s ability for dealing with it. This is because a person evaluates the
risks and rewards present at that moment and evaluate their abilities and values to make a
decision.
