Document Summary
Personality traits general, internal and comparative dispositions that we attribute to people in our initial efforts to sort individuals into meaningful behavioural categories: it accounts for consistencies we perceive or expect in behaviour from one situation to the next and over time, based on what you have observed, you suppose that in general, she tends to be more moody, warm and caring than most people, these attributions guides you in your future interactions in that they might give you some clues about what to expect from her. A theory provides: an abstract model of picture that represents the structure of the theory, terminology or set of names for key ideas and major classes of observations in the theory, set of correspondence rules that describe the specific relationships to be expected between the various components, hypotheses or testable predictions that are logically derived from the correspondence rules.
