What question would a trait theorist be most likely to ask?

A) "Why are thoughts and behaviors a product of momentary experiences?"
B) "What are the unconscious drives that motivate human behavior?"
C) "How do situational constraints influence behavior?"
D) "Which core personality dimensions determine individual differences?"

A trait theorist would be most interested in understanding which core personality dimensions determine individual differences. Trait theory focuses on identifying and measuring stable, long-term personality characteristics that are relatively stable across situations. Therefore, a trait theorist would ask questions about the specific dimensions of personality that explain why individuals vary in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors over time. Options A, B, and C are more closely associated with other perspectives within psychology, such as behaviorism, psychoanalysis, and social psychology.
