2016 Personality Lecture 10: The Psychobiology of Traits

Although the Big Five were discovered, or identified, statistically, they map well onto certain neurological circuits. Extraversion is positive emotion, roughly speaking, as Neuroticism is negative emotion (particularly anxiety and pain). Both of those emotions operate within a context provided by motivation, whose primal foundations are based in the hypothalamus.

    I got to go see some newborn leopard cubs at a nearby zoo with the kids. They were in a cot indoors. So, the way we we are primed by evolution to spot eyes and teeth, you can add claws to that :-). While we were completely focused on the little cubs in a corner of my vision i peripherally 'saw' a big claw sticking out from under the table behind me's table cloth and in that moment I had one of the most intense and physical fright experiences of my life. Consciously I knew they had some stuffed animals around but for a small fraction of a second that knowledge didn't matter. So thinking about how some of the optic nerves connect 'lower down' probably explains that. What I find interesting is that once I was aware of the specific stuffed adult lion under the table, I didn't keep getting the same fright reaction every time its huge claw entered the edges of my vision. So even though the higher order consciousness is slower it must also somehow suppress some of the baser 'circuits'...?

    I just read about this from Robert Sapolsky's book BEHAVE. I believe he said that LEARNING fear primarily happens through the quick route (straight to the Basolateral Amygdala and the primary amygdala), and thus unconsciously, but UNlearning it is more of a conscious process, as in being done primarily in the frontal cortex (PFC if I've got this right).

    Maybe the circuit of fear of social embarrassment and judgement suppressed your feeling of fear and having to jump away and thus making your brain have to look for other rational solutions and maybe that’s when it hit your memories and made you remember there’s a stuffed animal under the table Maybe we have different fear circuits and some are stronger than others and have the power to suppress other ones, although I’m sure it’s depending on how you’ve lived that shapes our circuits (traumas..etc) It can also be that you froze when you saw a sign of danger, and it happens to all of us, I’m not trying to make you feel weak.

    Concerning the idea of "what you see in the world depends on what you're aiming at" 1:15:53 - There was a book written in the early eighties titled 'Political Pilgrims' by the sociologist Paul Hollander about Western intellectuals visiting The Soviet Union from the twenties through the fifties, looking for the utopia they so badly wanted to be real - and were blind to all the negative evidence and contradictions right in front of them. Hollander is not the best writer but the story of these visits carries the book.

    Excellent lecture, as always. Question though: Do you think it will ever be possible to understand personality through reductive terms? From this lecture you seem to be stating that there are a myriad of personality "subroutines" that are either running or that we consciously select. However, aren't all these "subroutines" running in concert? Doesn't each one play off the other and adapt and change based of the actions of other "subroutines"? To complicate matters, isn't the whole body doing this? Or to take it to an extreme couldn't it be argued that all of nature is running these "subroutines" which interact with ours? Just curious as to what your thoughts would be. Thanks for the great video!

    The centipede dilemma @ ‘ 27:26 ‘ The centipede dilemma (or effect or phenomena) occurs when a normally automatic or unconscious activity is disrupted by consciousness of it or reflection on it. The concept was developed after a poem in an article by a British zoologist, Ray Lankaster, which discussed the work of photographer Eadweard Muybridge in capturing the motion of animals. Here’s the poem: A centipede was happy - quite! Until a toad in fun Said, "Pray, which leg moves after which?" This raised her doubts to such a pitch, She fell exhausted in the ditch Not knowing how to run.

    Lack of knowledge leads to the aiming to gain knowledge (exploration). The cat was not capable of remembering things, "everything was as if it was the first time," so it would endlessly explore without being able to store the knowledge gained from that exploration. That's my understanding of it, anyway.

    Miss Sarah Ashplant lol thx for the pointers. I have a BS from UC Berkeley with a dual major in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, and an MS from UCLA in Structural Mechanics, with a 4.0GPA. In my undergrad I was also only 1 or 2 courses away from a minor in Psychology. Please don’t lecture me on “university is hard.” I’m not having any trouble understanding the material. Was just an honest question asking others if they caught the material from the previous lecture on “measurement.” Maybe I missed it, and someone could provide a simple reminder to help. That’s all. No need to come in swinging with condescension, spewing insults and making assumptions about the intelligence and education of perfect strangers. Sad, honestly, that writing these replies is somehow reaffirming to you or gives you enough pleasure that you would spend your time on them. Does it make you feel big and important to inform random strangers of the futility of their efforts to understand all the high-minded secret knowledge to which you have access and they do not? Yikes. Good luck in life, Miss Assplant.

    The lecturer forgot to mention that the model has no biomarkers for any of its traits, as it was developed just using verbal descriptors. No, it was not well mapped into neurological circuits, please, professor, do your homework. A very weak lecture... The Big Five was pushed in the past 20 years into the throats of psychologists but in reality is a rather useless test... They took 2 scales from temperament research, 1 scale from intelligence research and 2 from social compliance characteristics, a bit here, a bit there but missed a lot of biologically-based traits... It is a very poor model but was advertised using all social power of McCrae and Costa, simply was pushed onto the market... Results - thousands were tested with rather empty outcomes, and predictive power is very weak, it can predict only what people already know. Big Five was used by Cambridge Analytica using the Facebook and dating agencies, to collect massive samples, without any consent of participants... Not very professional... But very efficient to promote the academic career of Big5-vers...
