8.05 Trait Theory
Now that we understand how trait theorists explain personality, it is time to see how
well you can explain the key components of the personality theories outlined in this
module.
Pretend you are researching personality for an internship. You have just met
Roberto, a mild mannered and reserved student who is identified as extremely
introverted.
Your job is to explain how each of the following schools of psychology would explain
Roberto’s personality. You should write at least a paragraph for each school of
psychology. Be sure to use key concepts from each perspective to support your
reasoning.
