The Big Five factors, also known as the Five Factor Model, have been extensively researched in personality psychology and have relied heavily on the use of correlation coefficients to establish the relationship between the five traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) and various outcomes and behaviors. Dream interpretation and schemas are more closely aligned with psychoanalytic and cognitive approaches, respectively, while learned helplessness is more associated with the study of motivation and emotion.
