PERSONAL TRAITS Sample Clauses

PERSONAL TRAITS. In the sixties, there was little believe in the personality factor behind acquiescence. Some researchers believed that no one had been able to successfully collect evidence of ARS being a broad personality trait. They also questioned if acquiescence compromises the validity of personality questionnaires instead of being part of it (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇. ▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇. ▇., & ▇▇▇▇▇, J. M. T., 1967; ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇. ▇., 1965; ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇. ▇., 1962). There were though already believers, like ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇., & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, K. (1960) who called acquiescence a deep-seated personality trait. In the meantime, it’s clear that ARS is also an individual-level trait that correlates with more than one psychological factor (▇▇▇▇, O., & ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇., 2016). In the following paragraphs the personal traits that correlate with a higher chance of acquiescing, are gathered from literature and connected to one of the reasons why people acquiesce. This does not mean that these personality traits are proven to be correlated with a specific reason. It is merely a means to an end to categorise the traits in an intuitive way.
