Individual Differences in Human Functioning

• Each one of us is unique as we exemplify a typical combination of various traits i.e. different traits exist in an individual in varying degrees or intensities.
• Individual Differences refers to distinctiveness and variations among people's characteristics and behaviour patterns.
• Situationism states that situations and circumstances in which one is placed influence one's behaviour.
• Sometimes, the situational influences are so powerful that individuals with differing personality traits respond to them in almost the same ways. The situationist perspective views human behaviour relatively more as a result of influence of external factors
