Big Five Factor Theory Of Personality Case Study

While looking at the big Five-Factor Theory of Personality, and healthy and unhealthy personalities is that according to the theory, if a person scores high on agreeableness, then they can be considered a healthy person. They show typical behavior like eating and talking. They are grounded, and can show empathy, and can have a sense of humor. People like these do not take everything too seriously. A person who got the high score in neuroticism trait will be considered as unhealthy as far as psychology is concerned because the person is not able to think rational and can have free outbreaks and violence. Sure people’s genetic make-up determine longevity because it is possible that the right habits that some parents practice can be passed along

For example, if you have a job that puts you at constant risk such as a police officer or the military than although genetics might play a part in helping you to stay physically fit the risky lifestyle choices could significantly decrease life expectancy. Genetics can play a small role that because if the parents were healthy, they could have passed this thing onto their children. However, with if that child doesn’t take care of them, then the generic part doesn’t make a difference. Phycologist Hans Eysenck came up with personality trait model which is also known as the big five. This model represents five central traits that interact to form the foundation of human personality. "Sometimes referred to as the OCEAN of personality, the five traits are an openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion/introversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (emotional stability).” (Miller, 2017). Out of these personality traits research has shown that conscientiousness, openness to experience and agreeableness all lead to a person’s longevity. “Overall, evidence suggests various Personality traits are significant predictors of Longevity “(Benjamin, Brent, & Paul,
