One of the fundamental issues in researching personality is something you may know intuitively: People’s behavior changes from one situation to another. Consider your own beliefs about who you “are” and then try to think of an example to counter it. For instance, you may consider yourself to be a cautious person in general and love planning your finances and career, but on vacations you love the spontaneity of backpacking. Or you may be an outspoken person, but public speeches make you nervous. Given this, can personality ever be accurately captured or are we too unpredictable?

Chapter 4 of your course text deals with this dilemma, known as the “person–situation debate” in personality psychology. This concerns the degree to which personality, and therefore behavior—is fairly stable and predictable over time and the degree to which behavior depends on situational variables. For this Discussion, your job is to select a topic from the chapter—whatever interests you most—and develop a question to ask the class. What you find interesting can’t be right or wrong, but your grade will be based on the degree to which you are able to produce a question that promotes critical thinking as described in the Learning Activity. Enjoy!
