Conclusion to Temperament
In psychology, temperament broadly refers to consistent individual differences in biologically based behavior and is relatively independent of learning, a system of values, and attitudes.[1] Temperament doesn't change dramatically as we grow up. Positive traits can be enhanced, and negative traits can be channeled; however, the child's underlying reaction style is unlikely to change. If we are lucky, we learn how to work with and manage our temperamental qualities.[2]
