Abstract
The results of the structural research in personality are encouraging, yet far from complete. This research could and should be improved in many directions. Chapter 10 focuses on the four basic issues concerning the directions for the future research of personality structure and the general factor of personality (GFP). First, the theoretical models of the personality dimensions should be accomplished with more profound and detailed research on causal factors, biological and sociocultural, with a special emphasis on the gene–environment interactions. Second, the higher-level dimensions of personality, including the GFP, should be definitely validated across all lower levels of structural taxonomies of personality. Third, the relations between personality and other psychological domains should be clarified and entered into wide structural models comprised of the most important psychological variables. Finally, in the methodology of structural research in personality only the most valid and reliable methods must be adopted in order to reach convergent results.
