Beschreibung:
This text is a polemic commentary on McCrae’s article presenting the analogies of the main currents of psychology of personality to physics and chemistry. The article presents the problematicity of the comparison of the Big Five model to physics based on the comparison of psychology to Aristotelian and Galileian physics propounded by Lewin. According to the interpretation assumed hereunder, the Big Five model constitutes a peculiar physics of personality (in line with McCrae), but it is a physics performed in an Aristotelian manner (according to the differentiation of Lewin), which is connected with significant limitations. The integration of knowledge on personality posited by McCrae requires the change in paradigm of the physics of personality from the Aristotelian to the Galileian that Lewin postulated. The first step towards enacting such a change may be the introduction of Schwartz’s value model into the physics of personality in McCrae’s approach.
