Mischel's Cognitive-Affective Model of Personality and the Person-Situation Debate

Cognitive-Affective Model of Personality

Cognitive-Affective Model of Personality

Mischel's research in personality led him to develop the cognitive-affective model, which argues that an individual's behavior, rather than simply being a result of traits, is fundamentally dependent on situational cues—the needs of a given situation. As shown in this diagram, features of situations, behaviors, behavior generation processes, and encoding processes are all interconnected.
