    Study Notes

    Understanding Personality

    • Personality encompasses individual differences in thinking, feeling, and behavior patterns.
    • Originates from the Latin word "persona," referring to masks worn by performers.
    • Two main areas: individual differences in traits and the holistic view of personality.

    Definitions by Psychologists

    • Personality includes stable traits contributing to behavioral consistency (Feist and Feist).
    • Predicts individual actions in specific situations (Cattell).
    • Reflects enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions (Mischel).

    Fundamental Characteristics of Personality

    • Consistency: Regular behavioral patterns across situations.
    • Psychological and Physiological: Influenced by biology alongside psychological processes.
    • Behavioral Influence: Affects how individuals act and respond.
    • Multiple Expressions: Manifested in thoughts, feelings, and social interactions.

    Personality vs. Behavior

    • Personality remains stable and shapes reactions, while behavior is adaptable to situations.
    • Personality develops early, while behavior is influenced by mood and environment.
    • Personality is innate; behavior is constructed through experiences.

    Five Personality Model

    • Comprised of Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Extraversion.
    • Highlights the complexity of individual characteristics and social interactions.

    Conscientiousness

    • Features include strong organization skills and motivation.
    • High scores indicate preparedness, attention to detail, and prompt task completion.
    • Low scores show a tendency to procrastinate and disorganization.

    Extraversion

    • Characterized by sociability, assertiveness, and emotional expressiveness.
    • High extraverts gain energy from social interactions, while low extraverts (introverts) prefer solitude.
    • High extraversion traits include being outgoing and enjoying social gatherings; low traits demonstrate discomfort in social settings.

    Agreeableness

    • Involves trust, kindness, and cooperation.
    • Highly agreeable individuals show empathy and interest in others; low agreeableness can involve competitiveness and manipulation.

    Neuroticism

    • Defined by emotional instability, moodiness, and anxiety.
    • High neuroticism leads to stress and mood swings; low scores indicate emotional stability and resilience.

    Summary of OCEAN Model

    • Openness: Involves creativity and willingness to try new things.
    • Conscientiousness: Organization and dependability.
    • Extraversion: Sociability and energy from groups.
    • Agreeableness: Compassion and cooperativeness.
    • Neuroticism: Emotional instability versus resilience.
