Why was the original person-situation debate ill-conceived?
◦ It is unreasonable to assume that typical or usual personality tendencies will predict behavior perfectly across the vast variety of situations in which people find themselves.
◦ Personality had not yet been established as an identifiable discipline in the 1960s; any outcomes based on personality measures were tentative at best.
◦ Nature-versus-nurture is a much more important question to ask than whether it is the person or the situation that determines behavior.
◦ The situations social psychologists investigated were usually mundane or trivial; high-impact situations were needed to reveal the true contributions of traits and the situation.
