Answer to Question 1

Answer: The person-situation interaction is when the person and situation work together to determine behavior. There are several different factors that can work together to influence behavior. These include: 1) Our personality can be impacted by our experiences. 2) Others respond differently than we do to the same situation. 3) We choose their situations. 4) We may change the situations we enter.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Both the person-situation and the nature-nurture debates relate to the discussion of how personality develops. The person-situation debate is whether stable personality traits predict behavior or if personality does not really exist and the situation is much more important in predicting actions. The nature-nurture debate is about whether genetics or a person's environment cause specific personality traits to emerge.
