Agreeableness
Agreeableness is a tendency to be pleasant and accommodating in social situations. In contemporary personality psychology, agreeableness is one of the five major dimensions of personality structure, reflecting individual differences in concern for cooperation and social harmony. People who score high on this dimension are empathetic, considerate, friendly, generous, helpful, and generally likable. They also have an optimistic view of human nature. They tend to believe that most people are honest, decent, and trustworthy. In general, they are more responsive to others than are their peers (Tobin, Graziano, Vanman, & Tassinary, 2000).
