Title: Demonstrate that Walter Mischel is correct in his assertion that general persona Post by: colleen on Jun 5, 2012 Demonstrate that Walter Mischel is correct in his assertion that general personality traits are not accurate predictors of specific behaviors, while the trait theorists are also correct in their assertion that personality traits are accurate predictors of a person’s behavior. Use examples from your own life or a friend’s life to support your position(s).
Title: Re: Demonstrate that Walter Mischel is correct in his assertion that general persona Post by: ThePsychic on Jun 7, 2012 • Mischel is correct in saying that a general personality trait is not an accurate predictor of what a person will do in a particular situation. (Student should give an example from his/her own life or a friend’s life to demonstrate this.)
• Through the principle of aggregation, the student should show that the personality trait is a better predictor averaged across many situations than for any single incident. (Student should give an example from his/her own life or a friend’s life to demonstrate this. It does not have to follow from the above, but that would be best). |
