Neuroscience on Personality Traits - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 329 Personality traits/hierarchy/causality/Neuroscience: Personality traits are arranged hierarchically, with correlated groups of more specific traits categorized together in broader traits. For example, the lower-level traits of talkativeness, assertiveness, enthusiasm and sociability are all grouped within the trait of Extraversion. A key premise of the factor-analytic approach is that specific traits fall within the same larger factor because of some shared underlying cause (Haig 2005)(1). Though this cause need not be exclusively biological, the correlational structure of traits provides a useful clue for personality neuroscience. >Extraversion, >Neuroticism, >Openness, >Big Five. 1.
