Eysenck and Cattell have both proposed personality theories based on superordinate dimensions or primary-secondary factors. These theories use which approach to studying personality?

A. Psychodynamic

B. Phenomenological

C. Dispositional/trait

D. Learning

The answer is C. Dispositional/trait.

Explanation:

This approach focuse on studying traits, which refer to patterns in different factors of human personality. Traits differ from states because, according to dispositional theories, traits are mostly consistent over time and vary in each individual.

Traits can also be dual, which means a person is likely to be found somewhere along these dimensions (e. g. efficient/organized vs. easy-going/careless).
