Document Summary
Big five theory: recognizes that people differ from each other in many ways, but it assumes that the five dimensions (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness) summarized describe the essential ways in which people vary. Extraversion: first discovered by carl jung, it is the tendency to move toward people or away from people. Relationality: the degree to which one"s values, attitudes, and outlooks emphasize, and facilitate establishing and maintaining connection to others. Fundamental interpersonal relations orientation (firo): william schutz identified three basic needs that can be satisfied with groups (inclusion, control, and affection). Firo-b is the scale that differentiates the need to express and the need to be wanted: high expression (e) and wantedness (w) classifies optimism, low e and w classify pessimism, moderate e and w classified as flexible, etc. Attachment style: one"s basic cognitive, emotional, and behavioral orientation when in a relationship with others (fearful, preoccupied, dismissing, and secure).
