Temperament trait in the psychology context refers to the basic, innate aspects of an individual's personality that are evident from early childhood and remain relatively stable throughout life. These traits are the foundational elements of personality and influence how individuals react to their environment, regulate their emotions, and interact with others. Temperament traits include a variety of dimensions, such as activity level, emotional reactivity, sociability, and regulatory capacity. Researchers believe that these traits are largely biologically based, shaped by genetic, neurobiological, and evolutionary factors, although they are also influenced by an individual's interactions with their environment.
