“…The theoretical rationale for this finding is that personality traits influence prosocial behavior indirectly, through the acquisition of prosocial knowledge (Campbell, McCloy, Oppler, & Sager, 1993;Motowidlo et al, 2006). As distal antecedents of prosocial behavior, the influence of basic traits (Costa & McCrae, 1992) is mediated by beliefs about the effectiveness of that behavior. The studies reported here aim to replicate these findings in regard to personality traits and extend this prior work by also exploring the role of emotional intelligence (EI) as an antecedent of prosocial knowledge and behavior.…”

“…Personality traits describe what people do and prefer (Costa & McCrae, 1992), but do not address the connection between current dispositional tendencies and individual motivation and behavior. FTP thus explains why conscientious individuals perform better, or why agreeable individuals have higher well-being.…”

“…Second, we advanced the theoretical development of FTP by proposing an integrative, motivationally-based framework and describing underlying processes that explain the relationships between general individual differences, FTP, and outcomes. Our results provide process explanations of the relationships between traits, motivation, and behavior by demonstrating that FTP mediates the relationships between traits and important outcomes.Personality traits describe what people do and prefer (Costa & McCrae, 1992), but do not address the connection between current dispositional tendencies and individual motivation and behavior. FTP thus explains why conscientious individuals perform better, or why agreeable individuals have higher well-being.…”

“…As the study of personality evolved, the five-factor model (FFM) has come to be considered one of the most frequent representations of personality trait structure (Costa & McCrae, 1992a;McCrae & Costa, 1997;McCrae & John, 1992). The five factors are neuroticism (anxious, worried, insecure and emotionally unstable), extraversion (talkative, sociable, cheerful and active), openness (curious, imaginative, insightful, original, and broad-minded), agreeableness (altruistic, caring, kind, supportive and sympathetic) and conscientiousness (careful, thorough, responsible, organized, and self-disciplined).…”
