A Cognitive Systems Analysis of Personality and Conversational Style
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we analyze personality from a cognitive systems perspective. We review briefly some popular theories of this phenomenon, arguing that they offer descriptive rather than deeper accounts. Next we note four core aspects of personality that deserve explanation and propose an alternative theory that claims individual differences result primarily from high-level cognitive structures and processes. We elaborate on this theory by providing details about representations and the mechanisms that operate over them, illustrating the ideas with examples related to conversational style, which is often associated with personality. We conclude by discussing related work and noting directions for further research in this important and challenging area.
