  16. over time, your personality remains fairly consistent throughout your life.
  17. After a certain age,
  18. personality theory looks to answer why specific
  19. features and traits develop in one
  20. person over another or develop at all.
  21. The goal is to identify what makes everyone so similar
  22. and yet everyone so different at the same time.
  23. The trade theory of personality suggests that
  24. people have certain basic traits and it
  25. is the strength and intensity of those
  26. traits that account for personality difference.
  27. The way psychologists have thoughts about personality
  28. defining traits has evolved over time.
  29. Let's talk about the trade theory, what is three theory?
  30. The three theory is one of the most popular type of personality theories.
  31. It proposes that people's personalities varies according
  32. to which basic personality traits are more dominant
  33. in this sense. Each trade is seen as a continuum.
  34. Let's take kindness as an example rather than
  35. viewing this as an optional optical personality trade.
  36. Some people are kind while others are not. You can think of it as a sliding scale.
  37. Everyone falls somewhere on the kindness continue
  38. and are either more kind or less kind compared with someone else.
  39. One of the best known trade theory is the five factor theory,
  40. also known as the Big Five proposed by Donald W.
  41. Fisk.
  42. This theory states that personality is made up of five difference
  43. traits.
  44. These five factors model personality represents five core
  45. traits that interacts to form human personality.
  46. While researchers often disagree about the exact label of which dimension?
  47. The following are described mostly common,
  48. agreeable is the level of corporation and caring for others,
  49. consensus Nous is the level of cotton of thoughtfulness and structure.
  50. Extra version is the level of social nous and the emotional expressiveness,
  51. neuroticism is the level of mood stability and emotional resonance
  52. and openness is the level of adventure and creativity.
  53. Each trade has the range that goes from one stream to another,
  54. and each person falls somewhere along that range.
  55. Let's also talk about the Old Portrait theory.
  56. In 1936,
  57. psychologist Gordon Allport found that one English language dictionary
  58. contained more than 4000 words describing different personality traits.
  59. He categorized these traits into three different levels. The cardinal trades.
  60. The central trades
  61. in the secondary traits.
  62. Let's talk about the cardinal traits,
  63. operas suggests that the cardinal straights are rare and dominating,
  64. usually developing later in life.
  65. They tend to define a person's to such an extent that their names become cinnamon
  66. synonymous with their personality.
  67. Let's talk about the central traits, This general characteristic form,
  68. basic personality foundations.
  69. While central traits are not as dominating as cortical traits,
  70. they describe the major characteristic you might use
  71. to describe another person descriptions such as intelligent,
  72. honest, shy or anxious are considered central traits.
  73. Lastly, the secondary trades,
  74. secondary trades are sometimes related to actitud or preference.
  75. They often appear only in certain situations or under specific circumstances.
  76. Some examples include the public speaking anxiety
  77. or the impatience while waiting in line.
  78. Let's talk about the seven features of a good theory.
  79. Let's talk about comprehensiveness.
  80. This area of trade theory covers behavioral development,
  81. the intelligence development and the mental development in focus
  82. in three different areas that include the psychodynamic,
  83. the behavioral and the cognitive area.
  84. The psycho dynamic area
  85. is the childhood experience and development.
  86. The behavioral area is the learning experience that lead to how
  87. an individual behaves towards certain circumstances or aspects of their life,
  88. and the cognitive area is how an individual views the world around them.
  89. Let's also talk about the coherence of the seven features of a good theory.
  90. Coherence is the most popular theory
  91. in personality psychology today,
  92. and is the most accurate approximation of the basic traits dimension
  93. and lastly, the empirical validity.
  94. The trade approach to personality is one of the
  95. major theoretical areas in the study of personality.
  96. Trade theories suggest that individual personalities
  97. are composed of broad dispositions.
  98. Unlike many other theories of personality,
  99. such as psychoanalytic or humanistic theories.
  100. The trade approach to personality is
  101. focused on the difference between individuals.
  102. The combination and interaction of various traits from
  103. a personality that is unique to each person.
  104. Trade theory is focused on identifying
  105. and measuring this individual personality characteristics.
  106. Lastly, let's talk about the traits against each other.
  107. Most theories and psychologists agree that people can
  108. be described based on their personality traits.
  109. Yet theories continue to debate the number of
  110. basic traits that make up human personality.
  111. While trade theory has an objectively that some personality theory lack,
  112. such as the fruit psychoanalytic theory,
  113. it is also has weaknesses.
  114. Some of the most common criticism of trade theory centers on
  115. the fact that trades are often poor credit cards of behavior.
  116. While individual may score high on assessments
  117. of specific trade, they may not always behave that way in every circumstances.
  118. Another problem is that Trade theory do not address how
  119. or why individual difference in personality develop or emerge.
  120. Let's talk about psychoanalytic versus the trade theory.
  121. The psychoanalytic perspective puts more emphasis on
  122. the underlying dynamics between the I.
  123. D. The ego and the super ego. Along with childhood experience.
  124. On the other hand,
  125. the trade theory gives importance to describing personality in
  126. terms of behavioral characteristics rather than internal conflicts.
  127. Trade theory indeed focused on describing the personality
  128. of an individual based on their behavior characteristic.
  129. For example, the Big five factors
  130. where area psychoanalytic theory places importance on
  131. the internal conflict between the ivy,
  132. the ego and the super ego.
  133. In comparing the humanistic trade theory
  134. versus the trade theory,
  135. a researcher will find that there are plethora plenty of different
  136. of difference between the two theories and quite a few similarities.
  137. However,
  138. the theories equally conquered that a person personality
  139. is somewhat invented by the choice The person makes
  140. these two theory.
  141. We hardly come close to each other decision of a
  142. person's personality and have just about nothing in common.
  143. The humanistic theory is the least methodical of the other theories,
  144. analyzing individuals as distances,
  145. with each seeing the world from different points of view,
  146. examining how external stimulation affect an
  147. individual's behavior with a modest amount of
  148. no interest on individual's behavior is also part of the humanistic theory.
  149. Thank you for watching.
