“…The Big-Five have also been related to a range of interpersonal behaviors during initial encounters (Berry & Hansen, 2000;Cuperman & Ickes, 2009, Funder & Sneed, 1993. What is needed, is further investigation of relationships between Big-Five traits and relatively stable interpersonal competencies that are known to have consequential social outcomes.…”

“…'Open' individuals can free themselves from practical concerns to appreciate a strong passion for aesthetic experiences (Glisky, Tataryn, Tobias, Kihlstrom, & McConkey, 1991) including art (Feist & Brady, 2004) and listening to sad music (Vuoskoski, Thompson, McIlwain, & Eerola, 2012). There is also evidence that this trait predicts emotion was also observed to be associated with paying visual attention to interlocutors during initial interactions (Berry & Hansen, 2000). It has also been shown to influence empathic communication (Barrio, Aluja, & Garcia, 2004;Lesh, 1970).…”

“…For example, neuroticism may be related to the content of the social self, represented as a schema or schemas . Recent studies of agreeableness demonstrate its relationships with more positive and accepting social perceptions (e.g., Jensen-Campbell & Graziano, 2001), and with nonverbal behaviours that express greater attention and openness towards others (Berry & Sherman-Hansen, 2000).…”

The thesis of these volumes is that the study of personality traits has advanced towards "normal science" in the sense of a Kuhnian paradigm (cf. Eysenck, 1981;Kuhn, 1962). That is, most researchers in this area share a set of common core beliefs supported by empirical evidence.These include the stability of traits over time, a significant genetic and biological influence on personality, and relevance of traits to many areas of everyday life. Each one of these beliefs has been vigorously contested in the past, but the evidence in favour of each one is now overwhelming (Boyle & Saklofske, 2004;Matthews et al., 2003). At the same time, researchers do not subscribe to some crude biological determinism. The roles of gene-environment interaction in personality development and of person-situation interaction in determining behaviour are also well-established. Within the overall paradigm, trait models have also stimulated important and unresolved debates, including the optimal measurement framework for traits, the mechanisms that transmit causal effects of traits on behaviour, as well as the roles of cultural and social factors in moderating the nature of traits.The purpose of these handbooks is to review issues of both consensus and controversy.Contributors synthesize the state-of-the-art of the research on the core tenets of trait theory, such as behaviour genetics and trait stability, and present perspectives on unresolved issues such as the important role of culture. In addition, trait theory is only one scientific paradigm for personality research. Although the focus here is on trait models, the handbooks also seek to explore key points of contact and differences with traditional approaches to personality 2 (Campbell, Vol. 1) and with social-cognitive theory and methods (Cervone, Vol. 1; Shoda, Vol.2).In this introductory chapter, we will outline the case that the trait model of personality constitutes normal science, and compare the trait perspective with alternative scientific approaches. We will also set out the key criteria that must be satisfied to build a successful trait theory, subdivided into formal and often quantitative criteria such as test-retest stability, and criteria that relate to the psychological meaning and construct validity of traits. As well, we will discuss some of the challenges to trait theory, and the directions the field may take in addressing these challenges.We will conclude the chapter by introducing the various contributions to Vol. 1, related to the pivotal issues previously discussed. Trait Theory as Normal ScienceThe basic tenets of modern trait theory are not new -indeed, their origins lie in antiquity (Stelmack & Stalikas, 1991). However, in their contemporary form, they owe much to three founding fathers of trait psychology: Gordon Allport, Raymond Cattell and Hans Eysenck. In his early career, Cattell was influenced by Allport, when both were faculty members at Harvard University. At the outset, Allport (1937) famously remarked that, "in everyday life, no-one, not even a psyc...

“…Physical attractiveness in an "everyday" setting has previously been studied in a laboratory paradigm (Garcia, Stinson, Ickes, Bissonnette, & Briggs, 1991;Mulford, Orbell, Shatto, & Stockard, 1998;Berry & Hansen, 2000, 1996. Although some (e.g., Reis et al, 1980Reis et al, , 1982 have emphasized the need to study physical attractiveness in a naturally occurring setting, others posit that a laboratory paradigm is the only way to get at direct effects of physical attractiveness (Berry & Miller, 2001).…”

Effects of physical attractiveness on relation initiation

This study examined the role of physical attractiveness in the initiation of interactions between unacquainted individuals. It is expected that in general, individuals (both males and females) will more likely initiate an interaction with an attractive versus unattractive other. However, it is anticipated that less attractive individuals will not show this preference and initiate an interaction equally among others varying in physical attractiveness. Finally, race differences may attenuate these predictions and quality of interaction will be higher in general with an attractive other. These data potentially have important ramifications for possible further applications. In a time where egalitarianism is promoted by many, it becomes important to educate the populace about our natural human biases. By applying the main findings of this study, individuals may be made more aware of these biases and hopefully be less bias in whom they interact with on a daily basis.
