Abstract
Abstract.— The report deals with two main problems: (a) cross‐situational consistency of person variables, which is discussed on the basis of a critical analysis of empirical research on cross‐situational stability of actual behavior, and (b) the role of the momentary situation in models of behavior, and the consequences of an interactional view for theorizing and research on situations. The analyses and discussions are based on two distinctions, namely (a) a distinction between consistency in terms of actual behavior and consistency in terms of mediating processes, and (b) a distinction between personality theories and measurement models. Three different senses of consistency in terms of reactions are distinguished.Keywords
