Personality components in Systems Net Theory

• Cinco sistemas generales, funcionales, horizontales

• Cinco dimensiones generales originadas por la reactividad de esos sistemas

• Trece sistemas específicos, estructurales, pentafactoriales

• Trece dimensiones específicas originadas por la reactividad de esos sistemas

• Sesenta y cinco rasgos primarios originados por la activación simultánea de un sistema general y otro específico

. Five general, functional, horizontal systems

. Five general dimensions originated by the reactivity of these systems

. Thirteen specific, structural, pentafactorial systems

. Thirteen specific dimensions originated by the reactivity of these systems

. Sixty five primary traits originated by the interaction of a general system and an specific one

The components of the three temperamental systems in different authors

• Neurofisiológicos: Los tres principales neurotransmisores (Cloninger, 1993)

• Somáticos: Los tres tipos constitucionales (Kretschmer, 1922, Sheldon, 1942)

• Afectivos : Las tres dimensiones PEN (Eysenck, 1985)

-Neurophysiological: The three principal neurotransmitters (Cloninger, 1986)

-Somatic: The three constitutional types (Kretschmer, 1921; Sheldon, 1942)

-Affective: The three temperamental dimensions (Eysenck, 1985; Chamove et al. 1972)

-Conative: The three behavioral types (Block, 1971; York & John,1992; Van Lieshout & Haselager, 1994; Caspi & Silva, 1995; Robins et al., 1996)

-Cognitive styles: The three cognitive styles (Kemler Nelson & Smith, 1989)

-Cognitive intelligences: The three specialized intelligences (Mira, 1947; Cattell, 1971; Gustafsson, 1988)

Systems Net Theory: basic ideas

• Distinction between two types of biological systems – General, functional, horizontal– Specific, structural, pentafactorial, vertical

• Distinction between two types of general systems – Three temperamental systems, oriented to survival (in humans and animals)– Two self-regulation and integration systems (exclusive to homo sapiens)

• Distinction between the nature and the function of traits

• Justification of general and specific systems from the evolutionary theory

• Identification of traits from theoretical prediction

• Conceptualizing dimensions as a result of the reactivity of biological systems

• Conceptualizing primary traits as a result of the interaction of a general system and an specific one: The specific system determines the nature of the trait, while the general system shapes its function

Systems Net Theory: basic ideas

Typology of the big-five general and functional systems(3+2)

Three temperamental systems, oriented to survival, in humans and animals (S-O-R systems):

. Inhibition or self-preservation system (ANXIETY)

. Rapid action system (HOSTILITY)

. Approach system (EXTRAVERSION)

Two human, self-regulatory and adaptive systems:

. Self-regulation and execution system (SELF-CONTROL)

. Cognitive integration system (INTELLECT)

Order of the Big-Five, according to different authors
