उत्तर १
The term Central Trait by Allport refers to general characteristics that form the foundation, or most descriptive trait, of an individual's personality. These are the characteristics by which you might describe a person, such as honest, hard-working, intelligent, out-going, etc.
उत्तर २
Central traits are the core characteristics that form the foundation of an individual's personality, as proposed by Gordon Allport in his trait theory. These traits are consistent, general, and observable across various situations and define how a person typically behaves.
Examples of central traits include being honest, friendly, generous, shy, or ambitious. Unlike cardinal traits, which dominate a person’s entire life, central traits are more moderate and flexible, yet they play a significant role in shaping a person’s daily behavior and interactions.
Most people possess several central traits, and they are often used by others to describe someone’s personality. These traits provide a balanced and stable view of an individual's character, making them essential for understanding personality in everyday life.
