  6. Using Traits to Understand Behavior • Different approaches: • The Single-Trait Approach • The Many-Trait Approach • The Essential-Trait Approach • The Simultaneous-Trait Approach

  7. Questionnaire

  8. Say • “I am going out now, I won’t be back all day. If anyone comes by, just tell them I’m not here” • Happy • Sad • Mad

  9. Self-Monitoring • How much do “monitor” your social setting and alter your behaviors accordingly • High SM • Monitor every situation • Look for cues how to act, alter behavior • Low SM • Consistent behavior regardless of situation

  10. Self-Monitoring • Findings: • Actors tend to be high self-monitors • Mental patients tend to be low • High SM interview better for jobs • High SM more likely to lie to go on dates • Jokes with a laugh track • Masturbate more often (r = .50; only for women)

  11. The Many-Trait Approach • Examine many traits simultaneously to determine what type of person tends to perform certain behaviors

  12. The Many-Trait Approach • Commonly use the California Q-Sort • Forces you to compare traits to each other • Rank order • Healthy • Wealthy • Wise

  13. Findings of the Many-Trait Approach • 64 undergraduates completed the SM scale • Friends and family q-sorted the subjects

  14. Self-Monitoring • High SM • Skilled in social techniques • Talkative • Self-dramatizing • Initiates humor • Verbally fluent • Expressive in face • Has social poise and presence

  15. Self-Monitoring • Low Self Monitors • Distrustful • Perfectionist • Touchy and irritable • Anxious • Introspective • Independent

  16. Findings of the Many-Trait Approach • Drug use and adolescent health • Shedler & Block, 1990 • 101 subjects • Age 11 – parents completed a q-sort • Age 18 – Drug usage measured • Abstainers, experimenters, frequent users

  17. The Many-Trait Approach • Note: What this study is not saying • To interpret the meaning of these traits need to also interpret the context of the study

  18. How many adjectives can you use to describe a person? • Try it!

  19. The Essential-Trait Approach • Odbert and Allport found over 4,500 adjectives that describe personality traits • 17,953 adjectives overall (but some were not traits) • Are all of these really independent of each other? • Essential Approach tries to find how many and which traits are essential

  20. Allport and Odbert (1936) 17,953 trait terms Cattell (1943) Factor analysis finds 35 clusters Fiske (1949) Factor analysis results in 5 factors Tupes & Christal (1961) Replicate Fiske Norman (1963) replicates Tupes & Christal, and writes a review about these “big five” traits Surgency (extraversion) Agreeableness Conscientiousness Emotional stability Culture The Big Five:History
