Question

The Big Five model seems to best capture personality because: 1. studies show that these descriptions show up over a wide range of cultures. 2. people only use five words to describe other people. 3. studies show that these descriptions vary according to a person's age. 4. genetic differences are more important than environmental influence

Answer 1

1. studies show that these descriptions show up over a wide range of cultures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Big Five Model consists of five broad personality traits (opennes to experience, agreableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and neuroticism) that have been measured in different cultures around the world.

In personality theory, the Big Five Model is perhaps the psychological scheme with most prestige for that same reason. Big Five Model tests have been made in Chinese, German, Hindi, Japanese, and several other languages.
