Abstract
Towards an Evolutionary Psychological Perspective on a Taxonomic Model of Individual Differences Correlating with the Five-Factor Model
Highlights
This preview comprises a short introduction on our novel theory for an evolutionary psychological motivation-based, categorized explanation of individual differences
Based on our findings we constructed an evolutionary taxonomy of motivation (EToM) that we correlated with the traits of the five factor model (FFM)
One of the reasons for developing our theoretical approach is that evolutionary psychology (EP) currently lacks its own frame work for identifying and explaining individual differences

Wenckebach Institute, University of Groningen, Netherlands Received: July 19, 2017; Published: July 24, 2017 *Corresponding author: Jan Guus Waldorp, Wenckebach Institute, University of Groningen, University Medical Center, Groningen, Netherlands, Email: Introduction This preview comprises a short introduction on our novel theory for an evolutionary psychological motivation-based, categorized explanation of individual differences. The FFM, is a descriptive model based on a lexical inventory and self-report and lacks a theoretical framework [1,2] It would benefit from a correlation with EToM and at the same time, provide a framework for the FFM. Another reason for developing an evolutionary theoretical framework and model is the importance of individual differences with regard to sexual selection and individual fitness [3]. Crossspecies comparisons [4,5] and the increasing recognition and appreciation of the important contribution of genetic factors to heritable behavior and health [6,7,8] demonstrate the value of partner selection from an evolutionary perspective
