Situational behavior

Situational behavior refers to how a person’s actions and responses can change based on the environment or circumstances they are in. Instead of being driven solely by personality traits, individuals might act differently depending on factors like the setting, the people around them, or specific events. For example, someone might be more reserved in a formal meeting but more relaxed at a social gathering. Understanding situational behavior helps us see that behavior is often influenced by external factors, not just internal character traits.
