Evidence against Personality traits have a very weak relationship to behavior in contrast, situational factors usually have a stronger impact on behavior; Which is the core evidence of situationism. People are also able to describe character traits of close to such as friends and family, which goes to show that there are opposing reasons showing why people can recall these traits. In addition, there are other studies that show these same trends, for example, twin studies have shown that identical twins share more traits than fraternal twins. This also implies that there is a genetic basis for behavior, which directly contradicts situationist views that behavior is determined by the situation. When observing one instance of extroverted or honest behavior, it shows how in different situations a person would behave in a similarly honest or extroverted way. It shows that when a large number of people are observed in a range of situations the trait-related reactions to behavior is about .20 or less. People think the correlation is around .80. This shows that the situation its self is more dependent of characteristics and the circumstances in contrast to what is actually taking place at that point in time.
