Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is interactionist theory?
Model answer
Interactionist theory states that behaviour results from personality traits interacting with the environment. The traits are inherited, but the situation decides how they show.
- 2
State Lewin's formula for interactionist theory.
Model answer
Lewin's formula is B = f(P, E). Behaviour is a function of personality and environment.
- 3
Give an example of interactionist theory in sport.
Model answer
A normally calm hockey player may become aggressive when fouled in a local derby. The situation triggers behaviour the trait alone would not predict.
- 4
How do Hollander and Martens picture the structure of personality?
Model answer
Hollander and Martens picture personality as layers around a central core. Behaviour becomes more changeable towards the outer layer.
- 5
Name the three levels of Hollander's personality structure.
Model answer
The three levels are the psychological core, typical responses and role-related behaviour. The core is the deepest and most stable level.
- 6
What is the psychological core?
Model answer
The psychological core is the true self, holding basic values, beliefs and attitudes. The core is stable and rarely changes.
