WHAT HAS RESEARCH FOUND ABOUT THE HERITABILITY OF TRAITS IDENTIFIED BY TRAIT THEORIES?

Traits only show heritability for family members who are raised in the same household. Otherwise there is no type of research that can investigate personality heritability.
Traits only show heritability for identical twins, since they are genetic clones. Relatives without the exact same genetic heritage show no real personality heritability.
Traits tend to be heritable, as demonstrated by the fact that the closer two people are genetically, the greater their trait similarity.
Personality is 90% genetic, so those who don’t want to turn into their own parents are out of luck.

Q

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO CREATE A TRULY GLOBAL MEASURE OF PERSONALITY?

Because there are fundamental differences in the way Western and non-Western cultures understand personality that are influenced by various cultural factors.
Because the different languages in different cultures do not always have words that can be translated equivalently and thus there is no way to measure personality uniformly across cultures.
Because concepts like self-efficacy, unconditional positive regard, and reciprocal determinism have been found to have no statistical validity in any culture outside of the United States of America.
Because the theories of Sigmund Freud created such a backlash against American personality theorists in the early 1900s that there has been no reconciliation of theories from different cultures.

WHAT HAS RESEARCH FOUND ABOUT THE NEARLY UNIVERSAL HUMAN DESIRE TO BE ACCEPTED AND WELL-LIKED BY OTHERS? Wanting to be well-liked by others is an entirely psychological phenomenon that has nothing to do with our physical well-being.

Society is becoming more and more tolerant of people who are on the “fringe” of normal and accepted behavior because the desire to be well-liked overwhelms the desire to judge others.
