I know this. I need a recent paper which attests that it is a good approach for the study of personality, but under the keywords: "status" "trait psychology" "2015" or "2014", etc., I could not find one. Come up only applied research articles and critics on the theoretical approach.

<p>Currently, what is the status of traits theory in personality psychology? Is it still a satisfactory theoretical framework to which to refer? What about its personality tests? Could you support your answer with recent scientific literature, please?</p>

Currently, what is the status of traits theory in personality psychology? Is it still a satisfactory theoretical framework to which to refer? What about its personality tests? Could you support your answer with recent scientific literature, please?
