Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.6
How does contemporary research challenge the view that personality traits are consistent across situations?
Personality traits are not real and are created by society to label individuals.
Evidence shows individuals often demonstrate different traits in different contexts.
People always act according to their dominant personality trait regardless of situation.
Situation doesn't influence behavior as people generally act randomly.
