Four ways five factors are basic
Paul T. Costa,Robert R. McCrae +1 more
TL;DR: The five-factor model has recently received wide attention as a comprehensive model of personality traits as mentioned in this paper, and the claim that these five factors represent basic dimensions of personality is based on four lines of reasoning and evidence: longitudinal and cross-observer studies demonstrate that all five factors are enduring dispositions that are manifest in patterns of behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parental psychological control: Revisiting a neglected construct.
TL;DR: The article traces the history of the construct of parental psychological control of children, and distinguishes psychological control theoretically and empirically from more behaviorally oriented control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a structure- and process-integrated view of personality: Traits as density distributions of states.
TL;DR: Decontextualized and noncontingent Big-Five content is highly useful for descriptions of individuals' density distributions as wholes, and amount of within-person variability in extraversion was shown to reflect individual differences in reactivity to extraversion-relevant situational cues.
Posted ContentDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Self-discrepancy: a theory relating self and affect.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of how different types of discrepancies between self-state representations are related to different kinds of emotional vulnerabilities, and they predict that differences in both the relative magnitude and the accessibility of individuals' available types of self-discrepancies are predicted to be related to differences in the kinds of discomfort people are likely to experience.
