Extraversion
The website ScienceDirect.com indicates concerning the personality trait of extraversion:
| “ | Extraversion refers to the tendency to focus on gratification obtained from outside the self. Extroverts are characterized by warmth, positivity, gregariousness, and excitement seeking.
Extraversion is a broad personality trait that encompasses a number of more specific characteristics such as sociability, assertiveness, high activity level, positive emotions, and impulsivity. The nature of the trait and its defining characteristics have changed considerably over time, and a number of different mechanisms have been proposed to underlie the trait. These mechanisms include individual differences in conditionability, arousal level, and sensitivity to rewarding stimuli. Modern extraversion research focuses on understanding the characteristic patterns of feelings and behaviors associated with extraversion, and linking these patterns to specific psychophysiological mechanisms... Extraversion-introversion is firmly established as a major personality dimension that constitutes part of the popular Five Factor Model of personality traits.[1] |
