Chapter 13 McCrae and Costa’s Five-Factor Trait Theory 381
In Search of the, Big Five,
The study of traits was first begun by AllpOrt and Odbert in the 193os and continued
by Cattell in the 194os and by Tupes, Christal, and Norman in the 196os (see John
Srivastava, 1999, for a historical review of the Five-Factor Model, or the Big-Five).
In the late l97os and early 19803, Costa and McCrae, like most other factor
researchers, were building elaborate taxonomies‘of personality traits, but they were
not using these classifications to generate testable hypotheses. Instead, they were
simply using- facto’r- analytic techniques to examine the stability and structure of
personality. During this time, Costaand McCrae focused initially on the two ma’m
dimensions of neuroticism and extraversion;-.
Almost immediately after they discovered N and E, Costa and McCrae found
a third factor, which they called openness to experience. Most’ of Costa and
McCrae’s early work remained focused on these threedimensions (see, for-exam-
ple, Costa &’ McCrae, 1976; Costa, Fozard, McCrae, & Bosse, 1976). Although
Lewis Goldberg had first used the term “Big Five” in 1981 to describe the consis-
tent findings of factor analyses of personality traits, Costa and McCrae continued
their work on the three factors. 7 I t t , .‘ I

The fifth factor-conscientiousness-describes people who are ordered, con-
trolled, organized, ambitious, achievement focused, and self-disciplined. In general,
people who score high on C are hardworking, conscientious, punctual, and perse-
vering. In contrast, people who score low on conscientiousness tend to be disorga-
nized, negligent, lazy, and aimless and are likely to give up when a project becomes
