Detailed explanation-1: -Cardinal traits: Rare, but strongly deterministic of behavior. Central traits: Present to varying degrees in all people. Central traits influence, but do not determine, an individual’s behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -These are highly generalized dispositions. If a person’s whole life seems to be organized around the goal of achievement, it becomes a cardinal trait of his or her personality. Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violence, Mother Teressa’s humanitarianism are examples of cardinal traits.
Detailed explanation-3: -A peripheral trait is one whose presence or absence does not imply many other characteristics. For example, if a person is sarcastic, it might imply that he or she is cynical about the world or has a dark sense of humor-but not much else.
Detailed explanation-4: -Trait theory in psychology rests on the idea that people differ from one another based on the strength and intensity of basic trait dimensions. There are three criteria that characterize personality traits: (1) consistency, (2) stability, and (3) individual differences.
