	Trait (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The central character is the one around whom all the action revolves, the one who performs the critical action or makes the crucial decision that leads to the resolution of the central conflict.
		Specifically, the central character must be primarily involved in the central conflict, and the central idea must deal directly with the actions or nature of the central character.
		To be logically consistent, the analysis must identify a central character, show that central character primarily involved in a central conflict, and present a central idea that focuses on the central character.

		The functionally autonomous traits that will be discussed later were derived from the Freudian system of instinct theory and the theorizing of William James and his idea of the transitoriness of instincts (Allport, 1937).
		The terms trait and habit may seem to be initially synonymous, but an important distinction and relationship exist between the two.
		His description of the circular reflex describes the human tendency to repeat an action as long as it produces a pleasurable outcome (this term is often used to describe the babbling of an infant).

		Central American tree boas are mainly seperated from Amazon tree boas by major rivers such as the Orinoco River although individuals have been documented south of the Orinoco River [1].

	Individual Differences 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Trait theories of personality assume a person’s general style of interacting with the world, especially with other people, varies along a number of dimensions or traits, and that these traits remain relatively consistent across time and place.
		Traits are enduring pre dispositions to act in certain ways: they are considered to be part of the person not part of the environment.
		Because the degree a certain trait is held is inferred from behavior we cannot say that the high/low value of a certain trait causes a behavior.

	Cooper and His Critics on Character
		Trait language, of course, is the medium of our everyday discussion of character where inferences from first-hand observation of behavior are the norm; in narrative, however, trait language increases its control of our perceptions when the narrator introduces characters with sketches containing explicit trait terms that provide us with a tentative reading strategy.
		The importance of establishing the traits central to a novel's characters accounts for the consistent appearance of introductory character sketches in all nineteenth-century novels and for the formal consistency of such sketches.
		The realist trait psychology that I have argued structures Cooper's characters and their interaction would have provided a general framework the expectations of his readers, and Cooper's hopes of achieving "distinctness" and portraying "peculiarities" in his fictional figures thus rested on their realization in the responses of this audience.

		At the end, the central character may be shocked into realization of the imbalanced beginning key trait and will proactively change his or her fundamental character.
		The central character has a key trait at the beginning that is a problem for the character (though he may be unaware of the problem), and this internal problem causes other external problems.

		Asch originally defined a central trait as one that "is more important, contributes more substantively to, or is more highly correlated with, the final impression than a peripheral trait" (p.
		When Asch inserted the central traits "warm" or "cold" into the list of S-traits in his studies, impressions of the targets were very positive and very negative, respectively.
		Additionally, four of the traits were replaced with more contemporary synonyms, and seven of the traits were changed to create pairs that better represented polar opposites of the same domain.

		By convention, there is usually one Trait referred to as the Central Trait which is quite broad, and the rest are Side Traits which tend to be more specific.
		Note that this is only convenient convention; some character concepts are such that two Central Traits are perfectly justified, and a few don't really have a Central Trait at all.

		In characterizing identity by the structure of central traits, we do not mean to imply that these traits remain constant throughout an individual's lifetime or that they individuate a person, or that they serve as referential reidentifiers.
		We are focusing on traits that typically make a systematic difference to the course of a person's life, to the habit-forming and action-guiding social categories in which she is placed, to the way that she acts, reacts, and interacts.

	Under the Broken Moon - Mechanics
		Rolls using traits not magic-related are generally assigned a penalty die when used to defend against magic, unless the defender has some offsetting advantage such as a magic weapon.
		Rolling a magic trait to defend against an attack does not give you armor, per se, but it does reduce the chance of being hit, which also has the effect of reducing the damage you take if you are hit.
		For example, a creature or character that has the trait "Resistant to Magic (T/U), 2 dice" (giving the character 2d6 armor against magic attacks or two penalty dice to attacking wizard's rolls, depending on the circumstances) is also resistant to energy weapons and other obviously high-tech weapons (such as Thundarr's Sunsword).

		The first of these, complex trait analysis, is a comparatively new genetic method that makes it possible to map individual loci that underlie polygenic traits [22,23].
		Two additional traits were mapped to assess specificity of the effects of putative QTL-bearing intervals, namely brain weight and non-striatal brain weight (Table 1).
		In mapping neuron number we actually used the residual cell population as a trait, and we are therefore confident that this interval has a selective, although not necessarily exclusive, effect on numbers of neurons in striatum (Fig 4B).

		Under most circumstances the player rolls their caji trait dice either against a sholari determined difficulty number, or if the target is a being that doesn't want their isho read, it's an opposed roll against the defender's isho characteristic trait.

	Introduction to Natural and Sexual Selection
		However, for traits like survival which take on fitness values that are either 0 (dead) or 1 (alive), The linear regression describes how the probability of survival varies as a function of the trait of interest.
		As we shall see in the chapter on mating systems and parental care, offspring number is a central trait which influences not only fitness of the parent (e.g., more offspring means more fitness), but also the amount of parental effort in the form of behavior and energy that could influence the survival of parents.
		Nevertheless, analysis of the correlations between behavioral traits that are expressed in a population (e.g., presence or absence of slugs) and the selective environment (e.g., presence or absence of prey) is a classic indirect testing for adaptation and inferring the historical action of natural selection.
