what are the main points of this ? My trait is secret-keeping, which I have defined as the tendency for someone to keep information shared with them to themself. An emotion that might relate to this trait is gratitude. I would hypothesize that if an individual is feeling a significant amount of gratitude toward the person who has shared the information that is to be kept, the individual would be more likely to keep the secret. The hypothesized inputs of gratitude here would be centered on if Person A (the person sharing information) places high value on the wellbeing of Person B (the person receiving the information). Examples of these would be if Person A has shared valuable information with Person B, if Person A has given Person B gifts, or if Person A has helped Person B complete a task. The outputs of gratitude would be centered on placing value on the wellbeing of Person A in return. An example of this would be Person B exhibiting the behavior of keeping the secret of Person A. The outputs related to placing high value on the person who initially shared the information could be perceived as high in the secret-keeping
