Personality

Personality refers to the enduring set of traits and styles that an individual exhibits, representing both dispositions—natural tendencies or personal inclinations—and ways in which the person differs from societal norms or the “standard person” (Bergner, 2020). Traits are tendencies to engage in specific behaviors or experience particular emotional states, while styles define how an individual characteristically approaches or performs actions. Traits are dispositions to engage in a certain kind of behavior or to experience certain emotional states, while styles are dispositions that define how a person does things.
