 "DETERMINATION" is the trait assigned to the red SOUL. This is, however, not overtly stated in the game itself. Keep in mind:

"DETERMINATION" is the word used by Alphys to describe what is extracted from the human SOULs - this is likely where Flowey gets his terminology because it is the reality that he knows.

''Bravery. Justice. Integrity. Kindness. Perseverance. Patience. Using these, you were able to win at "Ball Game."- after completing the game once''
 * The Snowball Game has this flavor text:

"''Try as you might, you continue to be yourself." - 2nd time winning the red flag/ during genocide run'

For the first flavor text, the traits are the color of their corresponding SOUL and "Ball Game" is in red. DETERMINATION does not fit in this analogy. The red SOUL is implied to be the overarching neutral goal that the positive traits add up to.

Even in a genocide run, "Determination" at save points is not in red - it is white.

Genocide ending Chara slaps the word determination between double quotation marks. This means that either the meaning of the word is being discussed or that it's just jargon.

I'd love ideas as to what else the red soul's leimotif is... Thank you for your time!
