Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Pediatric Patient with an Ocular Defect

Abstract

Argues against the predominant theory of personality assessment, which states that just 5 factors are needed to account for all its variance. One problem with the 5-factor theory is that there is no place in it for the syndrome denoted by the conscientious stage of ego development. Rather, the 5-factor theory's definition of conscientiousness makes it akin to conformity. Thus, the conception of conscience embodied in a stage theory of ego development contrasts with the concept that emerges from behavioristic social learning theory and from factor analysis of personality adjective checklists and rating scales. The classical conception of conscience is in danger of being lost by modern psychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
