The Big Five as a Lens (and Its Limits) in Individual Differences and Everyday Life
William Kelly
Abstract
This editorial introduces Individual Differences Research, Volume 17, focusing on how Big Five personality traits provide an integrative framework for understanding cognition, emotion, and behavior across everyday contexts. Through studies on music preferences, organizational justice, and normal worry, the volume explores both the broad explanatory power and conceptual limits of broad-domain trait models.
