Adrienne is stubborn and highly regulating. Everything has to be just the way she likes it or she is not happy.

Answer and Explanation:

1. Adrienne's psychodynamic approach to personality would explain that she has an an4l-retenetive personality, which is established when the personality arises from a psychosexual development process in the an4l phase of this development. Furthermore, the type of behavior that Adrienne shows shows that she had a childhood and youth based on very strict rules and possibly deprivations.

2. A Big Five trait theorist would claim that Adrienne's personality is based on the personality trait called Conscientiousness. This is because this type of personality is common in people with a strong sense of control and manipulation of the situations where they are located.
