Trait theory • Trait theorists believe that we are born
with certain personality characteristics (or traits). Therefore it suggests that we are born with certain personalities which are determined by our genetic make-up
• Behaviour = function of personality (B=F(P))

Reticular Activating System
• (RAS) Introverts are more easily aroused than extroverts because of an area in the brain called RAS
• This means that introverts are more likely to become over aroused than extroverts and then their performance level will decrease
• So personality and arousal are strongly linked

EVALUATION OF TRAIT THEORIES
THE TRAIT APPROACH• is and therefore produces a limited
view of what personality actually is• fails to recognise that people are
actively involved in constructing their own personalities
• and fails to recognise the effects of environmental situations as predicted by social learning and interactionist theories
TRAITS• do not predict behaviour• are seen as rigid (they are supposed
to be enduring and fixed with time)• the notion that traits are enduring is
seen as too long-term -• subject to situations which occur
which might change these factors
TRAIT THEORIES• have a lack of sophistication• have problems of validity - how do
you confirm that the traits exist?
![Page 18: A2 Psychology of Sport Personality wk 1 Skills Lesson Starter Get out plain piece of paper and a pen Working as a team Complete green group tasks Working.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052515/5a4d1b617f8b9ab0599adb74/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Trait theory – evaluation
• Can you think of an example where trait theory could be put into practice?
• Think of a practical example where trait theory could be flawed
![Page 19: A2 Psychology of Sport Personality wk 1 Skills Lesson Starter Get out plain piece of paper and a pen Working as a team Complete green group tasks Working.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052515/5a4d1b617f8b9ab0599adb74/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Trait theory pros & cons• Measurable through
questionnaires • Not always a true
indicator of behaviour• Does not take the
influence of the environment into account
• people think that personality factors can change with time
• seen as being too simple
