This paper tries to find interaction rules between members
and self-reform rules of members in some scientific research
laboratories at a graduate school. The candidate of rules are
extracted from the personality description sentences about
factors: {extroversion}, {agreeableness}, {conscientiousness},
{neuroticism} and {openness} in the big five theory of personality
psychology. In this paper, interaction and self-reform rules are
not described by personalities themselves; instead, they are
described by corresponding phenomena: {activity}, {empathy},
{persistence}, {autonomy}, and {analytical ability} which appear
in the behavior side. Each member’s initial value is determined
from the main 5-factor personality investigation to the member,
and the target value is given by the member’s self-declaration.
The rule selection is carried out by the genetic algorithm, where
a sigmoid function is introduced in the renewal algorithm of the
value, whereby a difficulty of setting the renewal parameters is
avoided. An analysis is added about the obtained rules, and the
validity of this approach and the subjects for future study are
discussed. Finally, consideration is extended to the effect of
environment on the behavior of members to reinforce the set of
rules.
