Popis: We describe our Virtual Personalities model of the structure and dynamics of personality and its implementation as a neural network model. The Virtual Personalities model proposes that both the structure and dynamics of personality can be understood in terms of the interaction between structured motivational systems within the individual and the motive/goal affordances of everyday situations. We first briefly review our earlier work on a goal-based model of traits and then describe our more recent Virtual Personalities computational model. We outline the basic motivational and processing structures within the individual and the critical features of the situations with which people interact. We then describe how this model is implemented as a neural network model and the basics of how neural networks work. We also discuss the advantages of creating explicit computational models. Finally, we review a number of simulations we have performed demonstrating the implications of the model.
