Lewis R. Goldberg

Lewis R. Goldberg was a prominent psychologist known for his work on personality psychology. He helped develop the "Five-Factor Model," also called the "Big Five," which identifies five main traits that describe human personalities: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Goldberg's research advanced understanding of how these traits influence behavior and individual differences. His work has been influential in psychology, providing a framework for assessing and studying personality across different people and cultures, and helping professionals better understand human behavior in various settings.
