Document Summary

Personality: the behaviours, traits, emotions, and ideas about the self that make up each unique individual. Dispositional traits: aspects of personality that are consistent across different contexts and can be compared across a group along a continuum. Personal concerns: consist of things that are important to people, their goals, and their major concerns in life. Life narrative: consists of the aspects of personality that pull everything together, the integrative aspects that give a person identity or sense of self. As one moves from dispositional traits to personal concerns to life narrative, the more likely it is that change will be observed. Five-factor model: consists of 5 independent dimensions of personality: neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The 6 facets of neuroticism are anxiety, hostility, self-consciousness, depression, impulsiveness, and vulnerability. People who are high in trait anxiety are nervous, high-strung, tense, worried, and pessimistic.
