Michael Rutter on Personality - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 177
Personality/Rutter/Rothbart: Rutter (1987)(1) describes personality as the cognitive and social elaborations of temperament as they are expressed in the course of social development. By defining personality and temperament (>Temperament/Rothbart) in this way, it is possible to (a) specify the domain of temperamental study, (b) differentiate it from other aspects of personality, and (c) study how temperament and experience together ‘grow’ personality.
