Abstract
This paper is an extensive analysis of the five-factor model of personality theory. Using different sources, it relates these five factors to an individual's sense of self-esteem. The model's main goal is to identify which personality constructs shape self-esteem on both the individual and the global levels. The author suggests that extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, agreeableness, and openness to experience are associated with high (as opposed to low) self-esteem. The paper then offers a ten-item personality test that can be used as a means with which to measure self-esteem in terms of the five factor model.
From the Paper
"Self-esteem is widely viewed by personality theorists as a multidimensional construct of an individual?s universal emotional orientation toward the self (Farmer, Jarvis, Berent, & Corbett, 2001; Robbins, Tracy, Trzesniewski, Potter, & Gosling, 2001). Self-esteem can be predicted in research settings by evaluating how much importance an individual places on self-evaluations (Farmer, et al., 2001). Based on such predictions of an individual?s self-esteem, researchers can then use the five-factor model of personality (FFM) as a framework for organizing the central paradigms involved in global self-esteem (Robbins, et al., 2001). The FFM has been very useful in determining which of the five personality correlates--extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, agreeableness, and openness to experience--are associated with high versus low self-esteem."

"FIVE-FACTOR MODEL OF PERSONALITY & PSYCHOLOGY
Introduction
This research paper presents the Five Factor Model of Personality and how it relates to general psychology practice. The relationships between the Five Factor Model and personality disorders, other clinical issues, treatment planning, health research, and unresolved issues are discussed.
The Five-Factor Model
The five-factor model (FFM) is a hierarchical model regarding the structure of personality traits. Personality traits are defined as enduring dispositions which are different from transient states or moods. Neuroticism and Extraversion are two factors that were associated with Eysenck; Eysenck's competing three-factor model (1975) includes Neuroticism.."

Abstract
This paper examines how Factor Five Van Leidenis, also known as Factor V Leiden Thrombophilia, is a disorder that is characterized by a poor anticoagulant response to the APC or the so called 'activated protein C'. It looks at how it is most likely to occur in women with a history of venous thromboembolism during pregnancy, or in association with a high usage of oral contraceptives or in cases where members of one's family have suffered from venous thromboembolism.
From the Paper
"It is also as yet unknown whether the prophylactic treatment of asymptomatic carriers or of carriers with a previous obstetric history is effective or not. This means that those patients with or even without a coagulopathy who may develop an acute thromboembolism during the term of their pregnancy would require a complete and full anticoagulation with intravenous unfractionated heparin, for five to ten days. Therefore, an intravenous dosage of intravenous anticoagulation of heparin, which is followed by a continuous infusion, is recommended for these pregnant women at high risk due to Factor V van Leiden disorder."

A critical review of Michael Porter?s Five Forces model for management.

Abstract
This paper examines how Porter?s Five Forces model has long been considered the standard in the world of marketing strategy and economics. It identifies the five forces that drive competition, including threat of entry by new competitors, intensity of rivalry, pressure from substitute products, bargaining power of buyers, and bargaining power of suppliers. In particular, it attempts to show how, despite the praise that Porter often receives, many critics and business analysts believe that his model is now outdated. Porter?s model is sometimes described as generic, and there are many researchers that point out that the model, while applicable to the era of the eighties, no longer applies to today?s complex, multi-disciplinary, and technologically-advanced marketplace.
From the Paper
"Porter?s model was hailed as the crowing achievement of his time. His model is still useful as a tool for understanding the concept of business strategy and lying the foundation for analysis for corporations today. However it should not necessarily be utilized as a single generic approach to business success, as the global marketplace and technological advances have changed the nature and scope of business, making it anything but generic in nature. The marketplace of today is at minimum complex and diverse and nature, and a model need take into consideration these factors."

Abstract
This paper examines the article, "Five Critical Questions," that appeared in the February 7 issue of "Business Week." The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, ?What Kind of Superpower? will America be in its future? The second question asked by Pete Engardio, deals with ?What?s Next for the Global Economy?? The third question, asked by Paul Starobin, is ?What is Moscow?s New Role?? The fourth question, asked by Dexter Roberts, is ?How does China Play its Hand?? The fifth and final question as asked by Stanley Reed is: ?Will the Arab Nation ever Change?? These questions and their answers are an attempt at understanding the tragedy of September 11.
From the Paper
"The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, ?What Kind of Superpower? will America be in its future? In the past, America has often claimed not to be a hegemonic or imperialistic nation, and Republicans such as Bush have generally refrained (at least in theory) from global government, internationalism, or ?nation-building? and tended towards isolationism. However, in the wake of a perceived active and growing terrorist threat, Bush is pushing America towards sweeping international power. He suggests that terrorist activity would be cut by aiding foreign governments in improving border controls and intelligence, overhauling their judicial system, and helping them to track the financial activities of citizens suspected of crime or terrorism, and providing military support for anti-terrorist or counter-revolutionary measures. Much of this would be done in cooperation with the World Bank. It?s unclear how far he will take this, as both many American citizens and foreign powers have deep reservations about such global controls."

Advantages and Disadvantages of Being an Extrovert
From the Paper
"Ratih (2002) states the extrovert's level of self-confidence, talkativeness and attention seeking behavior will lead the extrovert to dominate discussion groups, classes or professional meetings. This can be seen as both an advantage and disadvantage depending on the situation. If in a business setting, other group members or others attending a meeting are reticent for one reason or another to come forward with ideas, the extrovert will likely voice his thoughts and move the topic ahead, often choosing a course of action, driving things forward in a dynamic manner, having a strong persuasive style ("Discussion online," 2003)."

Abstract
The paper addresses many studies that have been done on this issue, noting that there have been positions taken by researchers on both sides of the question. This issue is particularly significant because it also relates to many other questions in the field of developmental psychology and personality theory.
From the Paper
"The question of whether or not personality development is completed as early as age five has been looked at by researchers for many years each using many different methodologies. According to Caspi, it is a particularly difficult question to study ?because it requires costly and time-consuming longitudinal studies that track people over time and across multiple developmental studies? (158). Because of this problem, methodological questions have been raised about many of the studies that have been done."

Abstract
Explores the five categories of culture, including food foraging, horticulture, intensive agriculture, pastoralism, and industrialism, and how these types of culture share characteristics of specific aspects of the human personality. This paper gives specific examples of each category of culture, as well as characteristics that lead to the formation of unique and culturally related personality traits. The paper uses literary and scholarly sources to provide factual examples of the large impact culture has on specific personality traits.
From the Paper
"What a culture in general finds sexually attractive is also key into the link between personality and culture. Contrary to what people might think, there are very few traits that are found attractive in all cultures. Traits that are most opposite of the other sex are usually most valued; for example broader shoulders in males. Taller and darker men as well as women with less body hair and larger hips are normally attractive traits. When it comes to traits in women that men find attractive, there are none that are universal. This helps provide evidence for the idea that one?s worldview affects arousal for the opposite sex."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Rational Choice Model for studying the law and the courts. This paper looks into how both models are used to understand the courts, in particular the United States Supreme Court. In addition, through a comparative analysis both models are applied to circumstances to determine which model is most appropriate when trying to understanding how the courts establish and define law.
From the Paper
"At first glance the attitudinal model and the rational choice (Strategic) model for studying the law and the courts seem vastly different. Essentially this is because they serve different purposes. The Attitudinal Model seeks to explain why justices (for our purposes justices on the Supreme Court) vote the way that they do, and the running premise is that they do so to implement their own personal policy preferences into the law. The Strategic Model seeks to explain the collective decision making process of the Supreme Court, focusing on what constrains, controls and influences the justices' decisions. However, the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Strategic Model for studying the law and the courts is not as clear-cut as this. This is because in an analysis of their essential foundations and applications, the strategic model, although different and contradictory at times, supplements the Attitudinal Model."

Abstract
This paper examines the approach of five theorists Piaget, Kohlberg, Freud, Erikson and Bandura on the topic of psychological development. It shows how Piaget focuses on the cognitive, Kohlberg on the moral, Freud on the subconscious, Erikson on the conflicts and Bandura on the social aspects. It looks at how in each case, the theories show that an individual's beliefs, thoughts and behaviors are not static but are constantly changing over the lifespan. It discusses how Piaget, Kohlberg and Erikson all describe how an individual's personality differs, based on the stage of their development and how Freud and Bandura both offer theories that are based on individuals constantly changing based on their interactions with society.
From the Paper
"The next theorist who will be considered is Freud, whose theories are based more on the development of the subconscious. Freud believed that individuals are born with a common set of drives, he called the id (Seamon & Kenrick 1994, p. 421). These are the selfish desires and include the drive for self-preservation and reproduction. Later in childhood, an individual develops an ego, which works to control the id. As Seamon and Kenrick (1994, p. 421) explain, "the ego operates on the reality principle, seeking optimal compromises between the demands of biology and those of the real world." The next development, which occurs around age five, is the development of the superego. This superego is an internal value system that tells an individual what is considered right or wrong. According to Freud, these components form the subconscious."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of Dorothea Orem's method of nursing. She introduced the concept that nurses, as human beings, need to be allowed to treat patients according to their individual needs. The author examines this theory, and presents several examples where it has been applied successfully.
From the Paper
"Nursing isn?t only about ?doing for the patient,? but about assisting them and directing them to carry out their own self-care and self-directed life. ?A patient competent to live in the real world is competent not only to obtain and participate health care, but to do as much of it as would be done outside the institutional setting normally.? (Coleman, pp. 325-344, 1980) Self-care then, is especially important in any field of nursing because health care is more about taking care of the body outside of the institution rather than in it."

The Due Process Model vs. The Crime Control Model, 2004.
Looks at the conflicting goals of the United States criminal justice system: to control crime and to protect the rights of the accused.

Abstract
The criminal justice system here in the United States has traditionally operated under the premises of two fundamentally opposing goals. One goal is the crime control goal. This goal operates under the idea that criminals should be aggressively pursued and crimes aggressively punished. The other goal is the due process goal. This goal operates under the premise that the rights of the accused need to be carefully protected in any criminal justice investigation. This paper examines both of these positions, determining which one is the better goal for the United States to pursue, and why.
From the Paper
"Liberals have been the traditional defenders of the due process model (Perron). They are certainly operating under noble guidelines. The United States Constitution itself carefully lays out the rights of the accused in a series of amendments in the Bill of Rights. The Founding Fathers were obviously very concerned about protecting the rights of the accused, or these protections would not have been included in the Constitution. Should we as a nation follow any less stringent standards in dealing with our accused today? "

Blair Hornstein, 2004.
An analysis of Blair Hornstein?s personality through the Five Factor Theory and Psychoanalytic Theory.

Abstract
This paper uses the McCrae and Costa's Five Factor Theory and Freud's Psychoanalytical Theory to analyze media personality, Blair Hornstein. Blair Hornstein, a student in New Jersey, is an 18-year-old girl who successfully caught the attention of the media, U.S. courts, and the U.S. president with her legal suit against her school, Moorestown High School, based on the fact that she wants to be the sole valedictorian of her class. It attempts to show that Hornstein is an individual who craves attention because of the lack of a social life at home.
From the Paper
"Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory claims that all humans are born with certain instincts and these are directly related to the biological need of food, shelter and warmth. These instincts are sex and aggression. Everyone according to Freud has a tendency to depend on their sex drive to attract mate and to reproduce to conserve the bloodline. Furthermore, Freud is also of the opinion that people often demonstrate aggressive tendencies to preserve themselves. Aggression therefore is an act of self defense and for the purpose of survival. Hornstein can clearly be understood by this theory. Being a disabled individual she has an even more aggressive sense for survival in an American society and culture where money, career and ambitions are considered to be the essence of social acceptance."
