INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
⮚ Proposes that people vary significantly in their
characteristics, traits, abilities, and needs.
⮚ Says that people are diverse from each other in
many vital ways. We each have unique qualities,
talents, motivation, and choices. These
contrasts affect how we think, act and feel.
⮚ Individual differences influence our attitudes,
behaviors, opinions, thought processes,
preferences, abilities, etc. and these differences
stem from factors like our culture, personality,
gender and development.
PERSONALITY THEORY
❑ Personality – a pattern of relatively permanent
traits and characteristics that give both
consistency and individuality to a person’s behavior.
⮚Address the origins of personality as well as the traits
that define a personality.
⮚Studies how an individual develops their personality and
can be utilized in studying personality disorders.
⮚These theories look to understand why people develop
different character traits and respond to external and
internal stimuli differently.
o Understanding personality type can help you understand
your preferences of other people and how or why these
might be different. Personality types are useful for
recognizing how we lead, influence, communicate,
collaborate, negotiate business and manage stress.
1. PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY
By Sigmund Freud
⮚These theories view personality as
shaped by a person’s early
development and the way psychic
energy is deployed by the person.
⮚ It is argued that many of the origins of
human behaviour are buried deep in
the unconscious and that people are
generally unaware of the reasons for
some of their behaviour.

PERSONALITY
TRAIT THEORY
Think about one of your friends
or a member of your family and
write down eight words that
describe their personality.
TRAIT THEORIES
• Personality trait: a personality
characteristic that endures (lasts)
over time and across different
situations.
• Trait theories of personality
focus on measuring,
identifying and describing
individual differences in
personality in terms of traits
ASSUMPTIONS
1.Personality traits are relatively stable and predictable
over time.
2.Personality traits are relatively stable in different
situations.
3.Personality consists of a number of different traits,
some people have ‘more’ or ‘less’ of each trait than
others.
4.Some traits are closely interrelated than others and
occur together.
CONTINUUM
• Traits theorists usually describe traits on a
continuum
• Example: Continuum for confidence
GORDON ALLPORT (1897-
1967)
GORDON ALLPORT (1897-1967)
• Searched the entire dictionary for words that could describe
personality – 17,953
• Eliminated synonyms e.g. nasty, horrible, mean, awful and
spiteful
• Eliminated words not often used e.g. chrematistic and
stultiloquent
• Left 4500 words
ALLPORT
• Organised words into 3 categories –
cardinal, central and secondary traits
• Arranged 3 categories into hierarchy
ALLPORT TRAIT CATEGORIES
• Cardinal Traits: these are traits
dominate individual’s whole life, often to
the point that the person becomes
known specifically for these traits.
Allport suggested that cardinal traits are
rare and tend to develop later in life
ALLPORT TRAIT CATEGORIES
• Central Trait: 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
• Independence, trustworthiness, competitiveness,
possessiveness, kindness, sensitivity, fearlessness
ALLPORT TRAIT CATEGORIES
• Secondary Trait: These are the traits that are sometimes related
to attitudes or preferences and often appear only in certain
situations or under specific circumstances.
• i.e. getting anxious when speaking to a group or impatient while
waiting in line.
• Secondary traits are characteristics more specific to certain
situations and control far less behaviour.
ALLPORT EXAMPLE
ACTIVITY
Using Allport’s trait Theory and based on the example of
Martin Maloney on the previous slide, write a personality
profile for yourself or someone you know
HANS EYSENCK (1916-
1997)
HANS EYSENCK
• Used factor analysis to reduce Cattel’s 16 factors to 2 (he added
a 3rd in 1970’s)
• Preferred term “dimentions of personality”
• Continuum
• Introversion- Extraversion
• Neuroticism- Emotional stabilty
• Psychoticism
• Possible combinations of first 2 dimentions
RESEARCH
• Individual differences of personality due to:
• Genetic make-up(tendency to be ‘low’ or ‘high’)
• Research – identical twins obtain similar scores on personality trait
tests
• Functioning of brain and nervous sytem
• Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ)
TRAIT THEORIES- STRENGTHS
• Provide useful descriptions of personality and
its structure
• Basis for development of reliable and valid
personality tests
• Tell us:
• Why we develop the traits we have
• How we come to have combinations we do
• Why we have more or less of particular traits
• Why traits are enduring and stable across different
situations
TRAIT THEORIES-
LIMITATIONS
• Lead people to use oversimplified
classifications and descriptions of people
– human personality too complex to be
described by simple labels
• Under- estimate the way(s) in which
specific situations and socio-cultural
factors influence behaviour
• Identification of personality traits through
statistical procedures- human behaviour
