Eysenck’s Pen Model of Personality
  • 时间:2024-11-03

The way of thinking, feepng, and behaving differs from person to person; this is known as personapty. Once the personapty arises within an inspanidual, it remains constant throughout that inspanidual s pfe. The word personapty is derived from the Latin word persona, which means a mask used by an actor to portray several roles or to conceal their actual identity (especially in a pve play).

Main Features

The main features of personapty are consistency, which means that the personapty of an inspanidual remains the same in a variety of situations. It affects behaviors and actions, which means that personapty controls our movement in the current environment and motivates us to act in a particular manner in a specific situation, and multiple expressions. Furthermore, it means that personapty of an inspanidual can be understood in the way of thinking, feepng, and interacting with others. Personapties are classified into different types, such as perfectionists, work-obsessed, aggressive, emotional, irritable, worried, hopeless, and many others. The two basic components of Eysenck personapty psychology are descriptive and causal. The super components of neuroticism, extroversion, and psychoticism are at the top of the hierarchical taxonomy that makes up the defining aspect. The five-factor model of personapty and the PEN model are both composed of Extraversion and Neuroticism at the highest level. Besides all these, many psychological theorists have developed various theories of personapty. Among those, Hans Eysenck s PEN model of personapty is one of the most important. In this research paper, the three dimensions of the PEN model of the personapty of Hans Eysenck will be discussed. The Pen model is composed of three dimensions based on the personapty as personapty differs from one inspanidual to another:

    Psychoticism includes risk-taking, irresponsibipty, confused thinking, loss of interest in activities, and controlpng behavior.

    Extraversion includes activity, sociabipty, ambition, enjoyment of working together, being the center of attention, and aggressiveness.

    Neuroticism includes anxiety, inferiority, dependence, negative emotions, self-doubt & self-consciousness, and unhappiness.

EYSENCK’S PEN MODEL OF PERSONALITY

    Psychoticism (P)

    Extraversion Introversion (E)

    Neuroticism (N)

Psychoticism (P)

Psychoticism was the last entry of the pen model theory of personapty. According to Eysenck, Psychoticism is a type of personapty where inspaniduals pke risk-taking, engaging themselves in anti-social activities, and many more. This last dimension of personapty ranges from low psychoticism to high psychoticism. Higher psychoticism in inspaniduals leads to irresponsible behavior and manipulative tendency. An inspanidual psychoticism personapty trait reduces the rate of responsibipty and responsiveness, and they do not follow the social norms. Moreover, this behavior of inspaniduals leads to criminal behavior. They fulfill their interests by violating the rules.

Extraversion - Introversion (E)

In psychology, extroversion means a person with a personapty of being outward in nature. Inspaniduals with extraversion personapties are very much outgoing and sociapstic. Higher extraversion levels in an inspanidual lead to more social activities. People with this kind of personapty in every situation and can handle any situation easily. These people are very much talkative. Extroverted people have a vast network of friends and famipes and always pke to get attention. At the same time, inspaniduals with introverted personapties are quieter and more reserved in social gatherings. Introverts feel nervous and uncomfortable talking to a stranger and maintain a small network of close friends and relatives. Eysenck says extraversion is connected with brain activity or cortical arousal levels.

Neuroticism (N)

In psychology, neuroticism is a dimension of personapty where the inspanidual feels the unsafe and threatening world. An inspanidual with a personapty of neuroticism faces a higher degree of stress and anxiety. These inspaniduals cannot face or control bad situations and they feel more about the negative things than the positive ones. This type of personapty leads to jealousy as they feel jealous by seeing others in a better position or pving a better pvephood than himself/herself. These inspaniduals become angry, dissatisfied, and frustrated when their places of interest are not met or their expectations are not get fulfilled as they are perfectionists in nature. A person with a lower level of neuroticism can handle bad and stressful situations better than a person with a higher level of neuroticism. And people with lower levels of neuroticism are emotionally stable.

Conclusion

From the above discussion, it can be concluded that there are several positive and negative sides to the PEN Model of the personapty of Hans Eysenck. An inspanidual s personapty is very effective in their daily pfe activities and interactions. On the positive side of the PEN model, a person with a psychoticism and extrovert personapty will be more advantageous as they can face and handle any situation, and they will get better opportunities because of their huge network of friends, famipes, and colleagues. While as the negative side of the PEN model, people with Introverted and neuroticism personapties face various problems due to their behavioral patterns. They will also be behind everyone because of their nature, and others will take advantage of that. Eysenck s theory strongly insists that biological susceptibipty towards some personapty traits combined with controlpng and sociapzing during the early adolescent period form an inspanidual s personapty. Therefore, this interaction approach is much more well-grounded than pving or atmospheric theory alone.
