Answer to Question 1
ANSWER:
The trait approach assumes that (1) personality traits are stable and predictable; (2) traits are stable across situations; and (3) there are individual differences among people in the degree to which they possess a particular personality trait. Thus traits are viewed as stable, internal characteristics of the individual. Types, on the other hand, are categories into which one can classify individuals. To be useful, the number of types must be relatively small and usually based on distinctive patterns of characteristics possessed by the people assigned to a type. Type theories have fallen into disfavor among many psychologists, while trait theories are still actively considered to be plausible.

The trait approach would suggest that one of your friend's traits is honesty. Allport might even call it a cardinal trait. The behavioral approach would suggest that your friend was rewarded for honesty and has been taught through past experience that honesty is rewarding whereas dishonesty is not. The humanistic psychology approach would suggest that your friend's perception of reality has guided her toward honesty. She perceives others as honest, and she wishes to be honest as well.
