Answer to Question 1

The basic idea in interactionism is that individual differences are important in some situations but not in others. Think of traits as a vulnerability or susceptibility to a particular problem, i.e., the problem occurs more easily for one person than another. In terms of interactionism, there are situations in which susceptibility matters and others in which it does not.
