Personality and brain- People with elevated extraversion had higher volume in frontal cortex- Higher neuroticism score showed higher levels of brain region associated with processing threatsThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Higher agreeableness more elevation in ability to relate to others (mirror neurons)- Conscientiousness- related to frontal cortex region- Openness- NOT related to any part of brain regionsB. Big 5 designed to capture personality traits most important- This is supported by the Fundamentals of Lexical (language) hypothesis: “the most important individual differences in human transactions will come to be encoded as single terms in some or all of the world’s languages”o Ex: over time people have found some individual differences and developed ways to identify them, these differences help us:1. PREDICT what others will do2. CONTROL our life outcomes- Help us understand what people will do universally/cross culturally and this is consistent from an evolutionary perspectiveC. Cross cultural research and the big 5:- Problems are translating questions into other languageso Ex: the word aggressive means different things in English and German; outgoing in English and Japanese mean different things- While language is variable, big 5 factors seem consistent cross culturally- Challenges of language translation still exists- Appears that the big 3 (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness) are most consistent in Italian and English- Neuroticism and openness are not translated- Across 11 cultures the big 3 seem consistent- Some characteristics are still unique to specific culturesD. the NEO-PI-R- (NEO: personality inventory- revises) assessment to measure big 5- NE0- neuroticism, extraversion, openness- Added agreeableness and conscientiousness- Each factor reduced to 6 narrower facets (facets are more specific components that make up each of the broad 5
