He is perhaps best-known for his works which declare that Personality is too variant across situations to be viewed off as in cross-situationally consistent Trait s, and probably is influenced more by situational factors than has traditionally been appreciated. This view has popularly been nicknamed " Situationism ," although Mischel's first major book, ''Personality and Assessment'' (1968) never actually used the word "situationism", and in his later writings, Mischel appears to treat this term as a Pejorative term. He has recently clarified that he does believe that traits remain stable over time; it is cross-situational, rather than cross-temporal, consistency which he has challenged. His views on personality led to considerable Debate s with Hans Eysenck . SOURCES |
