Extraversion

Cross Cultural Evidence for the Fundamental Features of Extraversion There has yet to be any determining evidence defines the characteristics of extraversion. The experimenters in this particular experiment have hypothesized that the facets of extraversion are somehow linked by reward sensitivity. This hypothesis was also tested against a model in which they are linked by sociability. There has been much work on this topic in the past, beginning with the works of Jung and James …

…This study used 6,469 college students from 39 different countries. 83% were between the ages of 18-25. Only 5,842 completed data sheets were used to form an analysis. Their results showed that the structure of extraversion can be indentified in many cultures, and also shows support for the reward sensitivity as core model. They used many other experiments on this topic as a basis of their research, and tried to justify these works with their own experimentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
