ASSIGNMENT 1 ANSWERS
SEMESTER 1, 2022
, QUESTION 1
a) Thinking, feeling and behaving
Here we refer to a person's tendency or likelihood of showing some behaviours or having
some thoughts or feelings (Ashton, 2013). This does not only include external behaviour as
shown by a person's action and words, but also the internal aspects of a person such as
their thoughts and ideas. Expression could also be both external and internal. For example,
consider your co-worker who takes on difficult challenges, expressing optimism that things
will turn out well. Not only is optimism expressed, but the person estimates in their
thinking that the likelihood of success will be high. The person will also express their
feelings through excitement rather than anxiety about the project. The scenario could be
the total opposite for other team members.
b) Differences in conceptually related ways
differences may be expressed in ways that appear to have some common psychological
element sharing some obvious similarities with one another. For example, what behaviour
would you think a person would be expressing when giving a large tip to a waiter at a
restaurant: show-off, generosity or careless with money?
c) Across situations
Ashton (2013) considers the importance of personality as not only being a habit confined
to a specific situation, but shown across a variety of settings in which people differ in the
ways they express themselves
d) Differences across time
Here we can consider the definition of personality again and whether it changes. Ashton
(2013) maintains that some pattern should be observed over the long run rather than
simply on a temporary basis.
