A teoria dos cinco factores: Uma proposta inovadora ou apenas uma boa arrumação do caleidoscópio personológico?

 

Margarida Pedroso De Lima (*)

RESUMO

Neste artigo, apresenta-se, analisa-se e discute-se uma proposta recente de teorização do modelo dos cinco factores da personalidade na idade adulta. A teoria dos cinco factores da personalidade pretende fornecer um quadro de referência aos «Big Five», escudá-los contra algumas críticas mais severas, bem como inventariar, e dar resposta, a muitas das questões centrais levantadas pelas teorias clássicas da personalidade. A teoria dos cinco factores vem ajudar a preencher uma lacuna bem reconhecida, neste domínio. Porém, sendo embora uma proposta necessária e fecunda, espera, agora, pelas necessárias corroborações. É, assim, na nossa perspectiva, uma arrumação meritória do caleidoscópio personológico.

Palavras-chave: Modelo dos cinco factores, Teoria dos cinco factores, personalidade.

 

ABSTRACT

In this article we present, analyse and discuss a current theoretical proposal of the five factor model of personality in the adult years. The five factor theory of personality aims to give a frame of reference to the Big Five, defend them against some critics and answer of some of the central questions raised by classic theories of personality. The five factor theory is meant to fill a gap in the field of personological theorizing. Although a necessary and fruitful proposal, it still awaits for the necessary corroboration. Nevertheless it is, in our perspective, a praiseworthy organisation of the personological kaleidoscope.

Key words: Five Factor Model, Five Factor Theory, personality.
