Question
“The cross-situational consistency of traits is found to be quite low”. Evaluate this statement with reference to the interactional approach to personality.
Short Answer
Solution
- Situational characteristics play an important role in determining our behaviour. People may behave as dependent or independent not because of their internal personality traits but because of external rewards or threats available in a particular situation.
