1940s’s study of 4,000 college aged men
Developed a theory that there are three basic body types, or somatotypes
Endomorphic
Mesomorphic
Ectomorphic
Each associated with personality characteristics, representing a correlation between physique and temperament
According to this view human personality traits are underwritten, as it were, by human physical types.
Does this idea seem plausible?
Does body type dictate temperament?
To what extent does body type influence personality development, if at all?

Trait theory is focused on identifying and measuring these individual personality characteristics.
How many traits are there?
In the 1930’s there were 4,500 traits in 1990 it has been reduced to 5.
A trait can be thought of as a relatively stable characteristic that causes individuals to behave in certain ways.
Unlike other theories of personality, the trait approach is focused on differences between individuals.

Allport categorized traits.

an individuals whole life.
◦ Consider the origins of the following terms Freudian, Don Juan,
Christ-like

Central Traits: The general characteristics that form the basic foundations of personality.
These central traits, while not as dominating as cardinal traits, are the major characteristics you might use to describe another person.
Terms such as intelligent, honest, shy and anxious are considered central traits.

Although traits are stable tendencies to behave in certain ways, this stability does not necessarily apply across situations
PERSON – SITUATION INTERACTION What is more important? Innate tendencies… or situations?
Personality traits are both changeable and stable. ◦ Most change occurs before age 30
Conscientiousness ⇧ 20’s◦ Most stability occurs after age 30
Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness ⇓ Agreeableness ⇧
Genetic Factors may push and pull the development of certain traits, whose development may be helped or hindered by environmental factors.

Social Cognitive Theory
Behavior includes a variety of actions, such as what we do and say.
Environmental influences include our social, political, and cultural influences as well as our particular learning experiences.
Cognitive factors include our beliefs, expectations, values, and social roles as well as our biological and genetic influences.
• 1960’s -70’s (Walter Mischel, Julian Rotter, Albert Bandura)• Emphasized a strong experimental approach

Julian Rotter
Internal/external

How much control do we have over our situations or rewards?
Rotter’s findings indicate that a specific belief, such as how much control you believe you have, influences how you perceive your world; and in turn, affects how you behave.
Locus of Control
![Page 24: Personality Perspectives Continued. You will see pictures of 3 different men. On a piece of paper please respond to the following questions/prompts](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db95503460f94aa9494/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Refers to not taking an immediate but less desirable reward and instead waiting and pursuing an object or completing a task that promises a better reward in the future.
Related to self control, impulsiveness, & will power
How long children can wait for marshmallows depended upon what they attended to.
◦ Imagined (15 minutes)◦ In front of them (6 minutes)

Should I take 1 marshmallow
now or wait and get 2 later?

Refers to the confidence in your ability to organize and execute a given course of action to solve a problem or accomplish a task
“I think that I am capable of getting a high grade in this course.” is a sign of strong self-efficacy
You judge your SE by combining 4 sources of info.
◦ You use previous experiences of successes & failures
◦ You compare your capabilities with those of others
◦ You listen to what others say about your capabilities
◦ You use feedback from your body to assess your strength, vulnerability, and capability.
Self Efficacy
Some people have a strong sense of self efficacy that applies to many situations. Others have a strong sense that only applies to a few areas. Having either high or low self efficacy can increase or decrease your performance and success in a variety of tasks and personal behaviors.

Allows us to process and understand information that influences personality development
◦ Observational learning Watch, imitate, model
◦ Purposeful behavior Anticipate events, plan ahead, set goals
◦ Self-analysis Internal process that allows us to monitor our own
thoughts and actions
