The Big Five Social System Traits as the Source of Personality Traits, MBTI, Social Styles, Personality Disorders, and Cultures

Abstract

This paper proposes the big five social system traits as the fixed, clear, and workable social solutions to the social issues under the different social conditions. Under the big five social system traits, different fixed and clear personal behaviors are developed by different people under different social conditions, so the big five social system traits are the source of different aspects of human behavior in terms of personality traits in the big five personality traits, personality types in the MBTI, social styles in the social style model, personality disorders in the DSM-5, social group deviances derived from the DSM-5, and religious, political, and economic systems in Western and Eastern cultures as described in this paper. The big five social system traits consist of sociality (individualistic-collectivistic-interdependent) traits to the issue of social formation, worldview traits (connective-competitive-territorial or people-tasks) to the issue of social boundary, awareness traits (concrete-imaginary) to the issue of social stress, activity traits (constructional-mobilized) to the issue of social duration, and legitimacy traits (authoritative-rational) to the issue of social uniformity. As a result, the big five social system traits provide the base for the unified theory of human behavior to unify different aspects of human behavior and to produce the common ground for diverse views to communicate.

The Mental Protection System for Protective Behaviors: The Social Brain and the Mental Immune System

“…The additional cluster from the previous paper is doubtful-prying cluster (anarchic, quarrelsome, and evasive) [6]. This paper proposes that personality disorders are divided into odd-eccentric cluster from the overactive stress-comforter axis against ubiquitous perceived hardship, dramatic-impulsive cluster from the overactive hyperactivity-stress axis against ubiquitous perceived danger, fearful-anxious cluster from the overactive phobia-stress axis against ubiquitous perceived unfamiliarity-uncertainty, and doubtful-prying cluster from the overactive phobia-rationality-indecision axis against ubiquitous perceived unfamiliarity-uncertainty.…”

“…The physical immune system is a physical protective system against pathogens (harmful invaders), whereas the mental immune system [6] is a mental protective system against adversities such as hardship, danger, and unfamiliarity-uncertainty. The overactive immune system without proper immune system regulators produces physical allergies as physical disorders, whereas the overactive mental immune system without proper mental immune system regulators [6] produces mental allergies as personality-mental disorders.…”

“…The overactive immune system without proper immune system regulators produces physical allergies as physical disorders, whereas the overactive mental immune system without proper mental immune system regulators [6] produces mental allergies as personality-mental disorders. Therefore, the physical immune system correlates to the mental immune system.…”

“…To survive, the body needs the protective mental countermeasures against such adversities quickly and instinctively, so the body needs both the physical countermeasures against invaders and the mental countermeasures against adversities. As a result, this paper proposes that the mental protection system of the body consists of the social brain [1] [2] [3] [4] to set up the protective social groups [5] [6] for the vulnerable social members-functions and the mental immune system [6] [7] to produce the protective mental countermeasures against adversities. The body requires not only the physical protection system but also the mental protection system to survive.…”

“…Section 3 describes the mental immune system to produce the protective mental countermeasures consisting of comforter, hyperactivity, phobia, and rationality. It also describes personality-mental disorders as the overactive mental immune system, the religious mental immune system, the drug addiction disorders, psychiatric epidemiology, the therapy for the personality-mental disorders, and the correlations of the big five mental protection traits from the mental protective system, the big five social system traits [6], and the big five personality traits [8].…”
