Compounding this problem is that there is no scientific definition of character. Because such a concept blends personality and behavioral components, scientists have long since abandoned use of the term "character" and, instead, use the term psychological motivators to measure the behavioral predispositions of individuals. With no clinically defined meaning, there is virtually no way to measure if an individual has a deficit of character, or if a school program can improve it.
Compounding this issue is that there isn't a scientific definition of character. Since this concept integrates personality and behavioral aspects, scientists have long stopped using the term "character" and now use psychological motivators to assess individuals' behavioral tendencies. Without a clinically defined meaning, it's nearly impossible to determine if an individual lacks character or if a school program can enhance it.
