Neurobiology on Personality Traits - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 329 Personality traits/Neurobiology: The Big Five were originally conceived as independent traits at the highest level of the personality hierarchy, but research has shown that they are regularly intercorrelated and possess a higher-order factor structure (DeYoung 2006(1); DeYoung, Peterson and Higgins 2002(2); Digman 1997(3); Jang, Livesley, Ando et al. 2006(4); Markon, Krueger and Watson 2005)(5). Neuroticism (reversed), Agreeableness and Conscientiousness form one higher-order factor or metatrait, labelled α or Stability, and Extraversion and Openness/Intellect form another, labelled β or Plasticity. >Personality traits/Behavior Genetics, >Five-factor model, >Personality, >Agreeableness, >Openness, >Neuroticism, >Extraversion, >Conscientiousness, 1.
