Explain interactional approach of personality.

The interactional approaches hold that situational characteristic which plays an important role in determining our behaviour. People may behave as dependent or independent not because of their internal personality trait, but because of external rewards threats available is a particular situation. The cross-situational consistency of traits is found to be quite low. The compelling influence of situations can be noted by observing people's behaviour in places like a market, a courtroom, or a place of worship.
