WEEK 9 - PSY101 - OCTOBER 28
Other Types of Personality
- We have talked about the Big 5 and that does actually cover a lot of variance in
personality traits and how we differ on them
- The big 5 do seem to fit the variance that we see in personality best
- Even though these constructs are latent (hidden), we differ on them in important
ways that predict behavior
- Even though they’re complex, they’re still in your brain in some form
- There are also other ways people vary in personality
- Some of these are more focused measurement on big 5 traits
- Some of these are outside of that framework

regarding the facets of the big 5
Psychological Needs
- Do you feel there are many psychological needs that you experience that
themselves may vary across individuals?
- That is, are the psych experiences you think you need more or less than other
people?
Need Theory

difference that varies among individuals and leads to manifestation of behavior
Need Theory: Need for Achievement
