Situation-strength theory proposes that personality traits better predict behaviour in weak situations than in strong ones. In strong situations, the social norms and expectations are clear, and individuals are more likely to behave in accordance with them rather than their personality traits. On the other hand, in weak situations, there is less clarity on how one should behave, and individuals are more likely to rely on their personality traits to guide their behaviour. Therefore, personality traits have a stronger predictive power in weak situations.
