Personality and Social Behaviour

  • Chapter
A Model for Personality

Abstract

The model of personality described in previous chapters assumes stable traits which are genetically and constitutionally determined to some extent and which have a wide range of applications to behaviour in social situations. It has been the interest of previous authors to demonstrate that (and investigate the extent to which) major personality dimensions are rooted in individual biology; the purpose of this chapter is to give some indication of the areas of social psychology in which personality constructs have proved to be relevant and important. In no way does this exercise deny that there are culturally determined patterns of social behaviour or that the social behaviour manifested by an individual at any given occasion is also influenced by the situation pertaining at the time. These factors are clearly also important in social behaviour, but for the present purpose these sources of variation will be largely set aside (i.e. treated as constant or as random error sources) in favour of a study of the role of indiviudal differences in temperament in the determination of significant social behaviours.
