slide3. Allport theory of personality<br>
slide4. Gordon Allport’s theory is considered to be one of the more scientific theories which has put forward the concept of traits in understanding personality. He takes the biological approach to an extent and mentions about how children are born with reflexes and as they use the reflexes continuously, how in course of time these reflexes become a habit and how habits by indulging in them continuously turn into traits, which are relatively permanent entities in the individual and which are reflected in the individual’s many behaviors in many different situations.<br>
slide5. Allport is perhaps best known for his trait theory of personality. He began developing this theory by going through a dictionary and noting every term he found that described a personality trait. After compiling a list of 4,500 ​different traits, he organized them into three different trait categories, including:<br>
slide6. 1. Cardinal trait - This is the trait that dominates and shapes a person's behavior. These are the ruling passions/obsessions, such as a need for money, fame etc.
Â
2. Central trait - This is a general characteristic found in some degree in every person. These are the basic building blocks that shape most of our behavior although they are not as overwhelming as cardinal traits. An example of a central trait would be honesty; Traits such as kindness, honesty, and friendliness are all examples of central traits.
Â
3. Secondary trait - These are characteristics seen only in certain circumstances (such as particular likes or dislikes that a very close friend may know). They must be included to provide a complete picture of human complexity.<br>
slide7. Thus, traits represent more than some running average of behavior. For example, we could see trait anxiety as simply the integral of a plot of state anxiety over time. CONCLUSION<br>
