The science behind the model

An evidence base you can explore.

The Five-Factor Model, the Big Five, has become the leading framework in personality psychology, supported by a broad body of scientific evidence. The Oxford Handbook of the Five Factor Model brings together research on its structure, validity and applications in work, health and relationships, including the meta-analysis by Zell and Lesick (2022), which synthesized 54 meta-analyses involving 554,778 participants.
