Abstract
Building on evolutionary models of personality proposed in the first edition of the Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology, this chapter considers the evolutionary significance of a relatively new higher-order personality construct, the so-called general factor of personality (GFP). The history of the construct is reviewed, along with a large portion of the recent theoretical literature addressing the existence and nature of the GFP and the empirical literaturerelevant to that.
