Document Summary
Relatively similar traits seen across cultures, but different prevalence rates. Individualistshavemoreconsciousness - collectivistic is to do well as a group. Alternatives to the big five - hans eysenck (1991), auke. Tellegen (1982), and c. robert cloninger (1987) maintain that three dimensions rather than five offer the most accurate model of personality structure. According to them, the big five dimensions of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and (low) openness to experience combine to form one larger dimension of impulse control or fearfulness along with the dimensions of extroversion and neuroticism. The big three model of personality structure is a worthy alternative to the big five. Tendenciesvsadaptions - tendencies are our basic tendencies are underlying personality traits. Same tray can manifest in very different ways (ex. Sensation seeking in firefighters and criminals because both have the same trait but interpret it differently. ) Some variability to age 30, but little thereafter. People over 30 are more stable with their lives.
