Answer 1

The correct answer is the first one: Hannah's personality is a unique psychological makeup that consistently influences behavior within a certain environmental situation. Although behavior will be consistent within consistent environments, it does not have to be consistent between environments.

Explanation:f

Meaning, that a person's behaviour is determined, most likely, by their personality in specific situation. Yet, personalities' schemes are not constrictive: human personalities have the capacity to adapt to different environments according to different stimulus, wether interior or external. Hannah's personality proposes a tendency that makes up a framework, yet it does not apply to Friday night- situations. The fact that Hannah behaves shy in certain environments does not mean she will be shy in all environments.
