Personality is regarded as the way an individual feel and behave within a particular
situation (Rothe, 2017). Personality traits can affect the consistencies of the behavior across
the time and the situations. There are several approaches for the personality which are
humanistic, behavioral, psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approach and the trait theorist. Amongst
all, the trait theory is the most compelling theory for the recognition of the personality.
Trait theory recognized as an ongoing approach for studying the personality of humans.
Trait theorist make the measurement of the traits through the habitual patterns of behavior and
emotions (Prentice, Jayawickreme, & Fleeson, 2019). Also, traits are that individual
characteristics which are stable over the time but certainly differs from person to person. Further,
trait theorist is the compelling approach because it describes the important dimensions of the
personality through the recognition of the certain characteristics of the individual. Also, the
identification of the unique traits does not always recognize the personality as the traits are same.
The model of Big Five Personality traits can be explained for the grouping of the personalities
and is also regarded as five-factor model and also OCEAN which defines the five basic
personalities for the identification of the human behavior (Stajkovic, Bandura, Locke, Lee, &
Sergent, 2018).
The five factors are openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion,
agreeableness and neuroticism. The first personality trait under the Big Five personality model is
the openness to experience which examines the individual’s actions, ideas, emotions and
imagination. This trait defines the personality of the individual as curious, outgoing and have a
wide range of interests. Further, the second trait is the conscientiousness which elaborates the
personality to be competent, thoughtfulness and are actual goals. The people scoring higher
under this dimension are regarded as hardworking, follow the rules and dependable. Further,
third trait is extroversion which examines the personality to be highly sociable, talkative,
excitement and have social expression (Kayiş, et al., 2016). The people’s personality is warm
when scored higher under this dimension. Fourth dimension under the model is agreeableness
which defines the personality to be cooperative, trustworthy and good natured. These people are
easy going and can get along and give respect to other people’s opinions and choices. Last factor
