Question

After standing in line for two hours, Jansen is not admitted into the latest movie on opening day. He's so angry for missing the movie that he kicks the nearby trash can. Jansen obviously is aggressive in the moment. Is Jansen's aggressiveness a trait or state?

Answer 1

Jansen's aggressiveness is a state of being . Because a trait would be something that makes up his personality and he is not angry 24/7, this is just a state of emotionally being for this time.

I hope this helps!
