Big Five Journal is an online publication focused on personality psychology and the application of the five-factor model of personality (aka the “Big Five”). If taking a science-based adventure through the awe-inspiring, intricate web of personality and discovering what’s behind human behavior sounds like your ideal Saturday night, you’re in the right place. Come on in. Join the party. We’re happy to have you.
We’re just getting started, but we’re writing our story as we speak.
We believe in giving you the scientific facts rather than the far-too-common, untested hypotheses of the average personality book in the nonfiction section. We research topics by reviewing the scientific literature and cite our sources to ensure no false claims are made. We write about our own hypotheses as well, but we never pass them off as fact, often test them, and share our research results when we do.
We believe making things amusing and enjoyable is worth prioritizing and that dry details can still be brought to life.
We believe it’s worth the added effort to make our discussions as easy to understand, concise, and uncomplicated as possible.
We’re striving to empower our readers to succeed in their careers and relationships with a greater probability of success by applying the Big Five personality traits and its predictive capabilities in their everyday life.
