Situationism vs. Dispositionism

Situationism and dispositionism represent two contrasting views on the primary determinants of human behavior. Situationism, a perspective often taken by social psychologists, posits that behavior is shaped by the immediate environment and situational context. In contrast, dispositionism, a view promoted by personality psychologists, argues that behavior stems from internal factors like personality traits and temperament.
