Question

10. In a psychology class debate on the trait perspective on personality, you need to take the opposing view and rebut its positive aspects. Which of the following criticisms of the trait perspective can you cite?

Answer 1

Answer:

People do not act or behave with predictable consistency

Explanation:

One of the general criticisms of the trait perspective is that people do not act or behave with predictable consistency. This is based on the idea that a person might act differently as predicted or expected of them given the circumstances, their personal experiences, their mental and cognitive state at that point and other such factors. Hence, the trait perspective might not be able to provide an accurate description based on habitual patterns of behavior or action or thoughts.
