Trait Theory
“In psychology, trait theory is an approach to the study of human personality. Trait theorists are primarily interested in the measurement of traits, which can be defined as habitual patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion.” The trait theory to me is basically a saying that if your moms always mean then you're going to be mean , if your fathers an intelligent person or even a funny person then you'll be the same as them that's what i think the trait theory is , I suspect that we get traits from our parents and they get it from there parents , etc.
