- Personality theories
- Trait theory
- An individual is born with innate characteristics, called traits, that are stable, enduring and stay the same in different situations.
- Behaviour is said to be consistent so that the sports performer will behave the same in most situations.
- Trait theory attempts to predict behaviour, if they behave the same way, you can expect them to do certain things.
- For example, an extrovert basketball player may also behave in an extroverted manner whilst at training, while playing and in team discussions.
- A03- Can behaviour always be predicted?
- It does not take into account personality change and how it can adjust with the situation.
- A03- You are born with an element of personality (babies have been observed)
- It does not consider that personality can be formed with experience- unlike in the social learning theory.

- Eysenck supported trait theory.
- Eysenck beloved there was two dimensions to personality
- Introversion- Extroversion
- Stable- Neurotic
- This was shown through Eysencks Personality Inventory (EPI)
- The inventory is used to compare performance, put in place strategies, select captains.
- A03- Doesn't take into account personality change.
- Doesn't consider that our personalities could be formed by experience.
- There are different forms of Eysencks inventory.
- Hard to categorise people on dimensions.

- Cattell also supported trait theory.
- Cattell though Eysencks theory was too simplistic but also thought personality was based on stable traits.
- He proposed that personality could be profiled into 16 categories.
- He devised the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF)
- A03- He accepted the responses may be different in varying situations, making it more of a dynamic approach.

- The Social Learning Approach
- Nurture side of the Nature vs. Nurture debate.
- Social learning theory offers another explanation to how our personalities develop.
- Rather than being born with characteristics, we learnt them from other people, especially those we hold in high esteem.
- Personality traits can be developed by associating with other people and picking up their behaviour through socialisation.
- It suggests that childhood and the environment affects your personality.
- We are more likely to learn reinforced behaviour if it is bright, powerful and consistent.
- We learn from the following process- Observe- Identify- Reinforce- Copy
- Modelling and reinforcement are key.
- Bandura supports this approach

- A03- It can explain why individuals personalise differ in varying environments.
- It considers changes over time.
- A03- Neglects the fact that traits have impact on the individuals personalities.
- Doesn't allow for easy measurement of personality as the theory puts emphasis on the situation.

- The Interactionist perspective
- This theory combines trait and social learning.
- It considers psychological traits and the situation.
- A03- It is a more dynamic approach and poses greater validity because it can explain why we later in certain situations.
- Lewin (1935) suggested that behaviour is a function of personality and the environment.
- B= F ( P x E)
- Hollander also supported this theory. He suggested that personality is made up of three features- core, typical responses and role-related behaviour.
