从成千上万的潜在概念中识别重要的倾向性概念仍然是人格心理学的一项重要理论任务。该分析检查了以前的还原过程方法（例如，词汇，统计），并提出了一套替代标准的基础上，行为频率的方法来人格。这些替代性标准包括对性格结构所包含的行为域的参考，这些域的唯一性或非冗余性，关于行为-性格联系的一致性，关于类别内原型性状态的一致性，时间稳定性的程度，以及表现表现基本率的大小。有人认为，以前的更严格的排除标准往往将该领域主要关注的重要行为类别排除在外。五项实证研究说明了这些新标准在一个以前被忽视的倾向性结构中的应用：计算。讨论的重点是人格心理学面临的分类任务的一个更广泛的观点的影响。
Identifying important dispositional concepts from among a potential array of thousands remains a crucial theoretical task for personality psychology. This analysis examines previous approaches to the reduction process (e.g., lexical, statistical) and suggests an alternative set of criteria based on the act frequency approach to personality. These alternative criteria include reference to the domains of acts encompassed by dispositional constructs, the uniqueness or nonredundancy of those domains, agreement about act-disposition linkages, agreement about within-category prototypicality status, degree of temporal stability, and magnitude of manifested performance base rate. It is argued that previous, more stringent, exclusion criteria have tended to remove from consideration important classes of acts about which the field is centrally concerned. Five empirical studies illustrate the application of these new criteria to a previouslY neglected dispositional construct: calculating. Discussion focuses on the implications of a more expansive view of the taxonomic task that faces personality psychology.
