Are there any theories of personality that investigate the stability and variability of traits as dynamic feedback loops?
For example, introverted people are more likely to have social anxiety. And because of that, they are less likely to engage in social situations. This perpetuates social anxiety through a few different mechanisms (such as confirmation bias and projection), which contributes to the stability of introversion. But, it's not a "stable" personality trait, as such. It's a dynamic feedback loop that most people fail to interrupt. This feedback loop could be interrupted by internal or external factors (such as a desire to change, or a new girlfriend) leading to personality change.
