McRae and Costa

McRae and Costa are researchers who studied how personality traits influence behavior and mental health. Costa is well-known for developing the "Big Five" personality model, which identifies five core traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. McRae contributed to how these traits develop and are measured over time. Together, their work helps us understand how these consistent personality patterns affect our emotions, choices, and interactions, providing insights into individual differences and psychological well-being. Their research aids in understanding human behavior more systematically and is widely used in psychology and personal development.
