Mischel's Definition - Personality is a set of distinctive patterns of behaviour thoughts and emotions that characterize each individual's adaption to the situations around each person's life. Thus, personality is a unique and consistant pattern of adaptive behaviour exhibited over time.
Concept of Adaption: means adjustment to changing circumstances in the environment and within the self. People adapt by changing the self, the situation, or both. Adaption shows continuity. People adopt various strategies which are repeated across situations.
