Unpacking “evil”: Claiming the core of the Dark Triad (2015, background): “Another disadvantage of the Big Five model is that even though the Big Five traits have been linked to evolutionary explanations (McAdams & Pals, 2006), no explicit mechanisms have been proposed for the evolution of the five specific personality factors or the variation within them.”
Understanding Well-Being and Optimal Functioning: Applying the Multilevel Personality in Context (MPIC) Model (2011, methodology): “Our fourth hypothesis involved testing McAdams and Pal’s (2006) speculation that culture has its largest effects upon the “self” level of personality, with smaller effects on the motivation level of personality and the smallest effects on the trait level of personality.”
Interpersonal Dynamics in Personality and Personality Disorders (2018, background): “…provide a more comprehensive portrait of people (in addition to those discussed in the preceding section, see also Adler, Wagner, & McAdams, 2007; Bornstein, 2011; Dawood & Pincus, 2016; Dunlop, 2015; Greenwald & Farnham, 2000; Hopwood et al., 2016; Leary, 1957; McAdams & Pals, 2006; Vazire, 2010).”
L2 grit: Passion and perseverance for second-language learning (2020, methodology): “Such models include the Big One model (e.g. Musek, 2007), the Big Three model (e.g. Eysenck, Eysenck, & Barrett, 1985), the Big Five model (e.g. McCrae & Costa, 1999), the New Big Five model (e.g. McAdams & Pals, 2006), and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI; e.g. Briggs, 1976).”
Goals to change personality traits: Concurrent links between personality traits, daily behavior, and goals to change oneself. (2014, methodology): “Finally, from a traits and motives as independent perspective, other scholars have argued that traits and motives are separate components of personality that independently predict behavior (e.g., McAdams & Pals, 2006; Roberts & Wood, 2006).”
The Circumplex of Personality Metatraits: A Synthesizing Model of Personality Based on the Big Five (2014, background): “In terms of the integrative, three-level model of personality developed by McAdams and Pals (2006) one can say, that CPM provides a kind of bridge between dispositional traits located at the first level of personality and characteristic adaptation located at the second level.”
The Role of the Family in Talent Development (2008, background): “A useful perspective is offered by McAdams and Pals (2006) who conceive of personality as an “individual’s unique variation on the general evolutionary design for human nature, expressed as a developing pattern of dispositional traits (e.g., extraversion, friendliness, dominance), characteristic a”
The Practices and Developmental Pathways of Professional and Olympic Serial Winning Coaches (2016, methodology): “These two instruments were used to collect data specific to the first and 148 second layer of personality – self as social actor and as motivated agent respectively 149 (McAdams & Pals, 2006).”
Core and Surface Characteristics for the Description and Theory of Personality Differences and Development (2014, background): “Moreover, whereas core characteristics may be rooted in early temperament features, surface characteristics are usually conceived as first emerging during childhood or adolescence and continuing to evolve thereafter (McAdams & Pals, 2006).”
