“…Current theory also emphasizes the reciprocal influences between behaviors and traits (Cervone 1991). Not only can personality traits affect behavior, but behavior can also affect people's perceptions of their personality traits (Buss and Craik 1983).…”

This paper integrates research findings on status and the gender stereotyped personality traits and examines the extent to which women's lower status than men can account for two components of gender stereotyping in the United States: the belief that women and men have different personality traits and the differences in men's and women's perceptions of their own personality traits. In addition, it examines the extent to which status affects the evaluations associated with both genders' self-perceived traits. Personality traits include the instrumental-assertive and expressive attributes that have been the focus of most theory and research, in addition to the instrumental-dominating, complaining, submissive, and bipolar attributes. Formulations involving the link with status are presented for each of these personality attributes.

“…CAPS is a prominent theoretical approach to personality and not taking it up seems like a missed opportunity. Relatedly, Cervone [1991] argued that the science of personality divides into two disciplines on the basis of the units thought to constitute personality: traits or social cognitive constructs, such as schemas, scripts, expectancies, and so on. Perhaps the distinction is too Manichean for modern personality theory because trait dispositions and social cognition interpenetrate in complex ways, but do they interpenetrate at all?…”
