Personality Neuroscience and the Biology of Traits (2010, methodology): “…have produced many theories about the psychological functions underlying various traits, but only a few have attempted to identify the psychological functions underlying all of the Big Five (Denissen & Penke, 2008; DeYoung, 2010; DeYoung & Gray, 2009; Nettle, 2006, 2007; Van Egeren, 2009).”
Virtuous states and virtuous traits: How the empirical evidence regarding the existence of broad traits saves virtue ethics from the situationist critique (2014, background): “Identical twins, including those who have never met each other and who grew up in different regions, will nonetheless describe their personalities in the same ways (DeYoung, 2010; Pederson et al., 1988).”
Cybernetic Big Five Theory. (2015, methodology): “…situations (‘‘Have a natural talent for influencing people,’’ ‘‘Have a colorful and dramatic way of talking about things’’), all of which is consistent with the idea that a heightened exploratory tendency will cause engagement with novel and potentially rewarding possibilities (DeYoung, 2010c).”
Motivation and Personality: A Neuropsychological Perspective (2013, methodology): “However, some forms of impulsivity (e.g., pursuing immediate reward without deliberation), which is a good marker of low Conscientiousness, are related positively to Extraversion and BAS (Depue & Collins, 1999; DeYoung, 2010a).”
The Circumplex of Personality Metatraits: A Synthesizing Model of Personality Based on the Big Five (2014, methodology): “…et al., 2002) and high behavior control (Becker, 1999) as characteristic features of the positive pole of this broad trait, whose negative pole is formed by impulsiveness, sensation-seeking, hedonism, and expansiveness (cf. Becker, 1998, 1999; DeYoung, 2010b; DeYoung et al., 2008; Zuckerman, 1979).”
From madness to genius: The Openness/Intellect trait domain as a paradoxical simplex (2012, background): “Neuroticism involves detection of error, conflict, and uncertainty—functions attributed to the behavioral inhibition system (DeYoung, 2010a, 2010b; Gray & McNaughton, 2000; Van Egeren, 2009).”
Investigating the impact of personality and early life experiences on intercultural interaction in internationalised universities (2012, background): “More recently, DeYoung (2010) has offered an emerging theoretical basis from evolutionary psychology and neuroscience.”
A model for personality at three levels (2015, methodology): “Inspired by the work of Lewin, Adams, and Zener (1935), Zeigarnik (1927/1967), Feather (1961), and Atkinson and Cartwright (1964), the proposition that motivation and action have inertial properties was added by Atkinson and Birch (1970).”
Self-Actualizing People in the 21st Century: Integration With Contemporary Theory and Research on Personality and Well-Being (2018, methodology): “Consistent with this definition, the personality items most strongly correlated with Plasticity (see Table 1, DeYoung, 2010) closely resemble Maslow’s list of the characteristics of self-actualizing people and include a mix of growth (“look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow”), curiosity…”
