Eysenck Giant Three

Gillian C. Tohver

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Within the personality field, Eysenck's influential Big Three model defines three core personality traits: extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism. Although extraversion and neuroticism remain key factors in all trait personality descriptions, Eysenck's model is less popular among current researchers with the expansion of the Big Five. Research supports unique relations between Eysenck's traits and mental health, addiction, age, gender, and technology use.
