Psychological Trait

A psychological trait is a consistent characteristic or quality that influences how a person thinks, feels, and behaves across different situations. Traits are stable over time and help define an individual's personality, such as being outgoing, conscientious, or anxious. They are the underlying aspects that shape our typical responses and interactions, enabling us to distinguish different people based on their habitual patterns rather than isolated actions. Essentially, traits provide a framework for understanding consistent aspects of a person’s psychological makeup.
