Factors That Influence Attributes

Factors That Influence Attributes

Factors that change people’s attributes over time can be categorized based on whether they are:

  • Personal (or dispositional), as in the case of maturation or general mood fluctuation.
  • Environmental (or situational), as in the case of influence from peers or influence from a certain physical location.

These factors can also be categorized based on whether they are short-term or long-term, based on the period of time over which they influence a person.

For example, social influence from a salesperson is likely to be short-term, whereas social influence from a parent is likely to be long-term.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
