Abstract

The theory of the five great factors of personality (Big Five theory) is currently considered to be the best at explaining the most individual variability in terms of personality factors between subjects. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and the recent social context, and to determine whether social support can act as a moderating factor in the process. While previous research has established that personality traits are significant predictors of well-being, the extent to which the big five personality traits influence social well-being remains unknown. This research paper employs a qualitative method based on a deductive research approach, as the author used deductive logic to predict the big five model personality traits in a recent social context. Five personality traits were found to be significantly related to the overall social context and social support functions as a determinant in the relationships between extraversion/agreeableness/conscientiousness/neuroticism/openness and social context. Numerous studies now concur, and there is a high degree of consensus in the literature regarding the Big Five theory as a useful theory for identifying and describing the major general factors of personality.

Summary

Introduction

The theory of the five great factors of personality (Big Five theory) is currently considered to be the best at explaining the most individual variability in terms of personality factors between subjects. Personality traits and social context are presented as two themes that are investigated in a variety of studies, with a focus on those that investigate the relationship between (indicators of) both The majority of these studies are based on the model of the five great personality factors. As a result, these studies investigated the theoretical and empirical relationships between personality dimensions defined by the Big Five Factor model and social context. These studies investigated the theoretical and empirical relationships between personality dimensions defined by the Big Five Factor model and social context These variables are conceptually and empirically related, according to the findings. The current study examined the relationship between five personality traits and recent social context, and whether social support can act as a moderator in the relationship between the big five personality traits and social context
