43. Culture and Five Factor Model of Personality
✦ Cultures
may
differ
in
mean
levels
of
personality,
however,
more
recent
research
suggest
that
the
Five
Factor
Model
–
a
constella:on
of
personality
traits
comprising
Neuro:cism,
Extroversion,
Openness,
Conscien:ousness,
and
Agreeableness
-‐-‐
may
be
universal
to
all
humans.
✦ Research
on
indigenous
approaches
to
personality,
however,
have
demonstrated
culturally
specific
aspects
of
personality
that
cannot
be
accounted
for
by
the
FFM.
We
have
suggested
that
these
two
seemingly
opposing
viewpoints
need
not
be
seen
as
mutually
exclusive;
rather,
it
may
be
more
beneficial
to
view
them
as
different, coexisting aspects of personality.
The
challenge
for
future research
is
to
capture
this
coexistence,
examining
the
rela:ve
degree
of
contribu:on
of
biological
and
cultural
factors
in
the
development
and
organiza:on
of
personality.
