Neurobehavioral studies of human and animal temperament have shed light on how individual personality traits influence human actions. This approach, however, leaves open questions about how the entire system of traits and temperaments function together to exercise control. To address this key issue, I describe a cybernetic model of control and then apply it to the Big Five (B5) personality traits. Employing evidence from descriptive trait terms, temperamental behavioral processes associated with traits, and empirical correlates of traits, I relate distinct cybernetic processes of self-regulation to the B5 traits. The B5 traits broadly parallel basic cybernetic self-regulation processes. For example, the core behavior activation property of the B5 Extraversion trait can be mapped onto the device output function of automated cybernetic control systems. Implications and limitations of interpreting personality traits in self-regulation terms are discussed.
对人类和动物气质的神经行为学研究揭示了个体性格特征如何影响人类行为。然而，这种方法留下了一些问题，即整个性格特征和气质系统是如何共同发挥作用来实施控制的。为了解决这个关键问题，我描述了一个控制论模型，然后将其应用于大五人格特质。利用来自描述性特质术语、与特质相关的气质行为过程以及特质的实证相关性的证据，我将自我调节的不同控制论过程与大五人格特质联系起来。大五人格特质大致与基本的控制论自我调节过程平行。例如，大五人格特质中外向性特质的核心行为激活属性可以映射到自动化控制论控制系统的设备输出功能上。本文还讨论了用自我调节术语解释人格特质的意义和局限性。
