Personality Trait and Attitude: Individual Differences Concepts and the Prediction of Behavior

Two studies were conducted on a general or global level of measurement (1) to examine a non-causal trait-attitude relationship by focusing on how people feel about the way they generally are; (2) to examine the potential links between intention, trait, habit, and subjective norm; and (3) to (in)validate the assumption that traits cannot contribute significantly to the prediction of behavior and intention, except as determinants of weights. In both studies, four categories of behavior were considered: submissiveness, neighborliness, aggression, and dominance.
