The Affective, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Drive/Motivational Manifestations of the Big Five Personality Traits

The purpose of this thesis is to determine through which basic psychological mode(s) personality traits manifest themselves (affect, behavior, cognition, and/or drive; ABCD) and to describe differences in ABCD manifestation between Big Five traits. The Big Five traits are broad latent constructs, which have proven useful for the description of personality and the prediction of general outcomes. However, the modalities through which they are manifested in individuals' daily lives are not well known. This thesis consists of three studies aimed at determining if A, B, C, and/or D are modes of Big Five manifestation, through which modes each Big Five trait is most frequently manifested, and how trait-level standing influences modality manifestation.
