    Gordon Allport proposed three types of traits in his dispositional approach: 1. Cardinal traits - Dominant traits that influence nearly every act in a person's life, but are very rare. 2. Central traits - Less dominant traits that are highly characteristic, like assertiveness or kindness. 3. Secondary traits - Less consistent traits that are more easily changed, like habits. Most people have more secondary traits than central or cardinal traits. Allport believed traits influence behavior across situations over time.

    Allport claimed that everyone are unique everyone has a different combination of traits Allport recommended an in-depth study

    dy of the individual, through analyzing diaries and use of interviews Secondary traits are more easily modified than central traits Most people have many more secondary traits than central traits Types of trait In order to determine what traits are the language that we use to identify them, pored over an unabridged dictionary until he came up with about 18,000 separate terms that could be used to describe personality. He pared the list down to a mere 4,500 descriptors after eliminating words with the same meaning, but he was obviously left with a problem crucial to all trait approaches: Which of those traits were the most basic? Cardinal disposition One single trait that defines everything everything for a person Central disposition 5 10 highly characteristic and frequently seen personal traits Secondary disposition Influential traits that are less consistent and generalized than cardinal or central traits Cardinal Traits A trait so dominant a persons entire life revolves around it. Most people do not have one.

    Dispositional

    Approach

    Cardinal Traits: Pervasive dispositions that influence nearly every act in a persons life (similar to types, but very rare).

    There are words for people who have displayed pervasive cardinal dispositions. Example: Machiavellian (named after Prince Machiavelli); Sadist (named after the Marquis de Sade). Allports Dispositional Approach Central Traits: Dispositions that are less superordinate and less broad (e.g., normal traits) Examples: Assertiveness, kindness, honesty, sociability, achievement motivation. Allports Dispositional Approach Secondary Traits: Dispositions that are least noticeable, generalized, and consistent (e.g., chronic habits)

    Traits are not expressed in all situations. Inconsistency of expression does not mean that traits dont exist. Situations also influence whether, where, and how traits are expressed in behavior. Example: Lack of sociability at a funeral does not mean a person is introverted. Allports Dispositional Approach In sum, traits express what a person generally does across many different situations, not what s/he does in one particular situation. Traits govern the range of possible behaviors. Allports Dispositional Approach Traits explain regularities in behavior: 1. Over time (temporally). 2. Across different situations (crosssituationally).

    Individuals possess traits in varying degrees. Most traits are continuously and fairly normally distributed. Allports Dispositional Approach John, Hampson, & Goldberg (1991): People tend to describe others at the central trait level because theres a balance between trait generality and behavioral specificity. Example: Extraverted vs. sociable vs. talks a lot.

    Theres no direct link between traits and specific behaviors in a given situation. Thus, no behavior is a 100% pure, reliable indicator of a given trait. AUTONOMY In addition, some motivations are conscious, others unconscious; some are transient, others recurring; some are peripheral, others Propriate; and some are tension reducing, others tension maintaining. Motives that appear to be different really are different, not only in form but also in substance.
