Desenvolupament psicológic en el cinc factors de personalitat.

Resum

In this Project the relation is investigated between all Five Big factors of personality (the Big Five) and the different areas of psychological development along the Vital Cycle. The model of the Big Five Factors of Personality proposes the existence of five factors or basic dimensions of personality with which it might describe how is a person: Extraversión, Pleasantness, Persistence, Emotional Stability and Opening to the Experience. The sample is formed by a whole of 2800 subjects of both sexes (1788 women and 1012 men) with ages included between the 14 and 92 years, chosen at random among the population of the Valencian Community. In our investigation we apply an inventory of opened response: the Inventory of Interrelationships of Personality with vital events and social modal "Interpretive Autobiographical Synthesis of the history of life" (Clemente and Gimeno, 2000). The subjects answer by means of a scale Likert of 7 points to the estimated influence that every aspect of personality, positive or negative, has had (past), it has nowadays (present) or it might have (future) on certain areas of development. These variables of influence, the areas of Social, Affective, Personal, Labour, Economic and Physical development will be the dependent variables on our investigation. The independent variables are those that we consider to be relevant for our aims, the Group of Age and the Factors of Personality. Some of the results derived from the investigation confirm the major valuation of the social area in the teenagers, a major labour economic valuation in the adult age and a major valuation of the physical area in the oldness. Also we observe higher valuations of the social area in the subjects extrovertids, a major valuation of the affective area in the subjects of the factor of Pleasantness, higher of the labour area in the subjects persistent and opened the experience, as well as an increase of the valuations in the physical area of the subjects of the factor Emotional Stability - Instability.
