Hierarchical Approaches to Personality Traits


Organizing all of these traits is one of the goals of researchers. Hierarchical approaches begin with the assumption that personality traits exist at varying levels of abstraction.

  1. Specific traits – Tendencies to behave in very well-defined situations, such as complaint propensity.

  2. Broad traits – Behaviors that are performed across different situations, such as extroversion.

  3. Personology  An approach that combines information on traits, goals, and consumer life stories to gain a better understanding of personality.
