    Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It includes areas like human development, sports, health, clinical, social behavior and cognitive processes. While its origins can be traced to ancient Greece, psychology emerged as a new science around 150 years ago. Early theories categorized people into personality types based on bodily fluids. More recently, theorists like Jung proposed two personality types of extroversion and introversion. The most influential current model is the five factor model of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. An alternative seven factor model includes four temperament dimensions like novelty seeking and three character dimensions.

    WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY

    Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and
    includes many sub-fields of study such areas as human development, sports, health, clinical, social
    behavior and cognitive processes.
    Psychology is really a very new science, with most advances happening over the past 150 years or
    so. However, its origins can be traced back to ancient Greece, 400 – 500 years BC. The emphasis was a
    philosophical one, with great thinkers such as Socrates influencing Plato, who in turn influenced
    Aristotle.
    The conception that individuals could be categorized into different personality types is
    about 2400 years old from the time of Hippocrates. At that time it was believed that people
    were developing a personality trait as a result of their bodily fluids, blood, yellow and
    black bile and phlegm. Therefore an individual who was depressed (`melancholic`) would
    have an excess of black bile in his body (Carver & Scheier, 2004). In more recent times Carl
    Jung hypothesized that people could be divided into two different personality types, extrovert
    or introvert. An extrovert prefers to be in company of other individuals as opposed to
    spending time alone. On the other hand introvert like to be alone and could be perceived as
    shy. Being either an extrovert or introvert according to these previous typologies, newer
    theories propose the existence of a continuum among personality traits, and individuals could
    have higher or lower scores on these traits. Raymond Cattel derived his 16 dimensions of
    personality by using factor analysis on statements presented to participants. Hans Eysenck
    also used factor analysis to support his theory of the two personality dimensions introversion
    vs. extraversion and emotionality vs. stability (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975)
    When the 20th century came to a close a new model gained importance in personality
    trait theory, this model was the five factor model or the “Big Five”. This theory is based on
    the accumulated data over the last 50 years within personality research. These five factors also
    seem to be present in different cultures with different languages (Eap et al., 2008). Although
    there is variation in the five factor theories, they seem to agree that there are five factors but
    disagree the labeling of those five. The factors are usually: extraversion, agreeableness,
    conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience (Carver & Scheier, 2004; Svartdal,
    1997). A personality theory that includes seven traits, four being measures of temperament
    and three measuring character, has also been proposed (Cloninger, Svrakic, & Przybeck,
    1993). The resulting instrument is called Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). The
    four temperament factors are thought to be genetically homogenous and independent
    dimensions of temperament, being labeled: Harm Avoidance (HA), Novelty Seeking (NS),
    Reward Dependence (RD) and Persistence (P). These dimensions are independently heritable,
    manifest early in life and involve preconceptual biases in perceptual memory and habit
    formation. In addition, three character dimensions have been proposed: Self-Directedness
    (SD), Cooperativeness (CO), and Self-Transcendence (ST). These character dimensions
    represent traits that are somewhat heritable and moderately influenced by social learning
    (Brändström, Sigvardsson, Nylander, & Richter, 2008; Cloninger, Przybeck, Svrakic, &
    Wetzel, 1994; Cloninger et al., 1993).
