Passiveness may be regarded as a personality trait that is characterized by a tendency to low levels of activity, particularly in social relationships. This can be associated with a tendency to dependency on others for leadership, motivation, and decision-making.
Passivity may develop as a response to trauma or childhood difficulties.
