when we try to predict human behaviour there is a function of 2 primary things : the person
and the environment there are in

in a strong situation personality is less important. What it means?e.g in a class it ocuurs a

fire it dosent matter if you are an introvert or extrovert everyone is going to scream.
Extrovert and introvert dosent play their role in a strong situation like in a fire. Because the
fire is such a strong situation that overwelmes any individual personality traits. On he other
side in a weak situation strong personality will don=minate. So e.g in a classrrom I ask for
voluntaries is very like that extroverts will more likely to volunteer. Introvert may stay
sitting.
