Walter Mischel's situationism critique of trait theory suggests that behavior is highly influenced by situational factors, and therefore traits are not consistent predictors of behavior. However, research has shown that certain traits, especially central traits that are highly relevant to a person's self-concept, can be more predictive of behavior. Additionally, some people may be more consistent in their behavior across situations than others. Finally, when behaviors are averaged across many situations, traits can still be useful predictors of behavior. Therefore, all of the above responses are valid in addressing Mischel's critique.
