CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Another limitation of trait theories is that they require personal observations or subjective self-reports to measure, requiring individuals to be introspective enough to know their own behavior. While trait theories provide information about how individuals may behave, they do not explain why they may behave this way.

Detailed explanation-2: -The identification of a trait can vary from one researcher to the next. This makes traits difficult to measure when applying this theory. Trait theory also doesn’t explain what causes individuals with a certain trait to behave one way in some situations while behaving a different way in another.

Detailed explanation-3: -The trait theory is criticized for its generality because the theory doesn’t believe traits change over time. The theory believes traits do not change from situation so people are the same at all times. The trait theory is hard to judge using personality tests because behaviors change in situations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trait theorists are more concerned with describing personality and predicting behavior than with the explanation of personality development. Since there are myriad traits and words to describe them, it can be challenging for psychologists to describe people’s personalities briefly and consistently.

Detailed explanation-5: -The trait perspective of personality considers an personality of an individual and the number of traits they have. An example of a trait perspective would be an extroverted person who seeks gratification from human interaction.
