Cybernetic Big Five Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Cybernetics, the study of goal-directed, adaptive systems, is the best framework for an integrative theory of personality. Cybernetic Big Five Theory attempts to provide a comprehensive, synthetic, and mechanistic explanatory model. Constructs that describe psychological individual differences are divided into personality traits, reflecting variation in the parameters of evolved cybernetic mechanisms, and characteristic adaptations, representing goals, interpretations, and strategies defined in relation to an individual’s particular life circumstances. The theory identifies mechanisms in which variation is responsible for traits in the top three levels of a hierarchical trait taxonomy based on the Big Five and describes the causal dynamics between traits and characteristic adaptations. Lastly, the theory links function and dysfunction in traits and characteristic adaptations to psychopathology and well-being. 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

متن کاملInformation and Entropy in Cybernetic Systems
It has been shown that the cybernetic approaches can efficiently be used for analysis and design of complex networked systems. Still, the earlier discussions were bound to the actual application domain at hand. This paper gives more intuition in what truly takes place in a cybernetic system from another point of view. Information theory, and specially the concept of entropy, offer a yet more ge...
