“Descriptions and labels that refer to a person’s inner qualities, traits, and characteristics are subjective. So also are the descriptions of our reactions to the behavior of others.” (source)
“One of the major causes of conflict lies in the social-style differences that exist between individuals, and the behaviors that are represented by those social styles.” (source)
