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).”
Cognitive Correlates of Personality (2013, result): “Furthermore, results in the current study also provide support for DeYoung et al.’s (2005) suggestion that Openness represents a unique type of Cognitive Flexibility not shared by other personality traits.”
Whole Trait Theory: An integrative approach to examining personality structure and process (2019, neutral): “…et al., 2012; Hampson, 2012), and have focused on describing the what, but for the most part have not attempted to explain the why or how (see Depue & Collins, 1999; DeYoung, 2010; DeYoung et al., 2010; Eysenck, 1997; Gray, 1981; see also DeYoung, 2015 and Read et al., 2010 for exceptions to this).”
Creative days: A daily diary study of emotion, personality, and everyday creativity. (2015, background): “Similarly, DeYoung (2010) views traits as the probabilistic descriptions of regular patterns in everyday life that are rooted in neurobiology and shaped by evolution.”
Objections to the HEXACO Model of Personality Structure—and why those Objections Fail (2020, background): “DeYoung (2010) has suggested that the Big Five structure is preferable because it has one dimension for negative affect traits (Neuroticism) and one dimension for altruism-related traits (i.e. Big Five Agreeableness).”
Environmental sustainability and national personality (2014, background): “, 2005), have a substantial biological component (DeYoung, 2010), and are relatively stable throughout the lifespan (McCrae & Costa, 1994).”
Maladaptive Personality at Work: Exploring the Darkness (2014, background): “DeYoung (2010) reviewed psychometric and neuropsychological evidence for a similar higher-order factor structure and labeled the factors stability and plasticity.”
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).”
Whole Trait Theory (2014, background): “In short, trait theory has described the what, but few theories have attempted to explain the why or how (with a few, mostly biological, exceptions, e.g., Depue & Collins, 1999; DeYoung, 2010; DeYoung et al., 2010;H. J. Eysenck, 1997; Gray, 1981; see also DeYoung, 2014 and Read et al., 2010).”
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).”
