A disposition is a habit, a preparation, a state of readiness, or a tendency to act in a specified way.The terms dispositional belief and occurrent belief refer, in the former case, to a belief that is held in the mind but not currently being considered, and in the latter case, to a belief that is currently being considered by the mind.In Bourdieu's theory of fields, dispositions are the natural tendencies of each individual to take on a specific position in any field.
