Detailed explanation-1: -d. Temperament refers to negative personal characteristics, while personality refers to positive personal characteristics.
Detailed explanation-2: -Temperament remains fairly consistent, particularly throughout adulthood. Similar temperaments within a family may be attributable to shared genetics and to the environment in which an individual is raised.
Detailed explanation-3: -That developmental change is primarily due to early nonshared environmental influences is particularly interesting. This means that changes in temperament are likely due to differences within the family environment, such as differential treatment, experiences or accidents.
Detailed explanation-4: -Temperament refers to behavioral style, the ‘how’ of behavior. Personality describes ‘what’ a person does or ‘why’ they do things. Long recognized as different, researchers have investigated connections between the biological aspects of behavior seen in temperament, vs. personality structure and development.
