Talk:Agreeableness

message: This article seems a little biased. The term Disagreeable does not mean that a person is immoral. A lack of need to help others or lack of concern for the feelings of others does not mean there is a lack of concern for morals. Its a subtle but important distinction that should be made. One may be "disagreeable" but also be ethical and honorable in day to day activities. In other words one can be detached from the feelings of others but still carry out good works, not out of a concern for the other person but out of concern for the individuals understanding of good and evil.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.133.37 (talk) 01:22, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is severely lacking, and a lot of the info seems miscategorized (or generally out of place). Here are a few suggestions:
* Add a photo. Possibly something that ties this to the Big Five/Five Factor Model. Or link to the Psychology portal...
* Move some of the info in the lead to proper sections. The connections to Machiavellianism and Adler, for example, could be placed in a section on similar/complementary concepts.
* possibly with sample scale items.
* Include a section on low agreeableness/disagreeableness.
* Add to the 'geography' section, incorporating some info from elsewhere in the world (to avoid a U.S. bias).
* Maybe a tie-in to positive psychology?
* A section on associations to other BF/FFM traits.
* Mental/physical health correlates.
* A section on the developmental/genetic factors associated with agreeableness.
Just a few ideas to help get things started.

thread_title:  Proposed Edits/Some Direction 

message: This article has some improvements in overall structure and quality that need to be addressed. A few suggestions include:
* Introduction
**In this section there is not enough citing. When you refer to high verse low scoring and the traits that accompany these scores it sounds like opinion instead of fact. This can be remedied either by restructuring phrasing or citing references. For example "People who score high on this dimension tend to believe that most people are honest, decent, and trustworthy." This sounds like an inference about a persons beliefs rather than a factual statement about potential, but not always expressed traits.
*History
**In the History section specifically the first paragraph is structured in a way that is difficult to read. It begins with the header "Cattell's 16 Personality Factors", yet the first sentence leads with "Like all Big Five personality traits..." but the Big Five has yet to be discussed. Consider revising or potentially taking out.
*These inconsistencies and structural issues are seen throughout. Overall nice base work though!

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've seen the dimension of agreeableness being subdivided into compassion and politeness in various studies, based on this one:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17983306 (966 citations)
It might be worth mentioning these two facets and how they relate to the five facets mentioned on this wiki page. Currently these two terms are not used at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eczanne (talk • contribs) 10:46, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  10 facets 

message: The article seems rather biased towards the positivity of high agreeableness. It seems to extol the virtues of being agreeable (and prosocial and what have you), while not looking at the negative sides (such as being more prone to being taken advantage of or high conflict avoidance leading to unresolved conflicts). 
While agreeableness definitely has positive sides, low agreeableness is not just anti social behaviour. There's a reason evolutionarily why both sides of the spectrum exist, one is not objectively better than the other. The article should better reflect positive and negative sides of low and high agreeableness.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.208.82.232 (talk) 22:30, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
