Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Central dispositions refer to traits that are consistent across situations and have a strong impact on behavior. Allport's description as reserved, prim, and orderly suggests these are central dispositions. Cardinal dispositions (A) are less common and have a more dominant influence on behavior, while secondary (C) and peripheral (D) dispositions have less consistent effects on behavior. Proactive (E) is not a term used in Allport's theory.
