Retrospective Analysis Of Personality And Personality

Chapter 10 is over personality. Personality is described as a pattern of enduring, distinctive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that characterize the way an individual adapts to the world. The book goes over psychodynamic perspectives, trait perspectives, personological and life story perspectives, social cognitive perspectives, and biological perspectives.

Personality is defined as a relatively stable set of characteristics that influence an individual’s behavior. Both heredity and environmental forces shape personality.

Personality may be based on many factors. It may be based on innate or learned experience, or latent or manifest. But, the focus of this essay will be whether a person's personality is based on the magnitude of genetic or an environmental influence. Personality can be divided into two categories, innate or acquired characteristics. Heritability is a statistical measure that expresses the proportion of the observed variability in a trait that is a direct result of genetic variability. Environmental influences can be divided into two classes, shared and non-shared environment. Both heredity and environment contribute to personality traits and that the degree of their individual contributions cannot be specified for any traits. Although a person's environment plays an important part in their personality development, heredity factors play a larger role in deciding disposition of this

Each one of us has his or her judgment about different issues that affect us on a daily basis. It is because we have different genes that result in different traits to thereby resulting in different reactions to different situations. While some people are profoundly affected by the death of a family member, some are strong and gather the courage to move on with life. Personality allows us to express our emotions differently. In this case, our gene composition will enable us to be in a position to react to different stimuli influencing daily decisions.

The essence of what defines us, as human beings, is complex, ever evolving process of a combination of biology and life experiences. A person’s personality is innate, yet it can become molded over time due to experience; it is a multitude of interactions and constructs. The construct of personality is challenging to define as personality theorists continue to debate on its definition. Rather than settling on one universal definition, each personality theorist evolved their own distinct perspective. Due to a lack of agreement, the definition for personality will be defined as “a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics that give consistency and individuality to a person’s behavior” (Feist and Feist, 2013).

When you think of personality, you may think of a lot of things. How a person acts or behaves, the little quirks they have, the way they think or what they like. When it’s explained on a psychological level, its much more that just what they like or enjoy doing or how they act. Personality is thought to be a combination of many things, most of these things occurring genetically, in your childhood, and subconsciously. Although some traits are learned, most of our personalities are determined in our early years or genetically pre-determined. Personality Disorders are also something that can be genetically passed down, or can be a result of trauma or events in childhood or adolescence. In this paper, it will explore how personality is formed from

Personality plays a significant role in how individuals react to certain situations and in different environments. It is encouraged to conduct research into the variability in personality, as every individual differs from one another (Abali, 2006). There is no fixed definition of personality acceptable to all theorists, as research results are interpreted in different ways. Generally speaking, personality is as a set of persistent psychological traits and patterns within an individual, that form distinctive characteristics which make individuals unique from one another.

I believe my personality is most comparable to the social-cognitive perspective theory proposed by Albert Bandura. The social-cognitive theorists believe people learn their behaviors either through conditioning or by observing and imitating others. This seems to be very true to how I developed my personality. I have always enjoyed watching someone try something first then doing it. I also believe that a lot of what I do was developed at a young age by going to daycare. In daycare you have lots of other children you watch and learn from. Some things you observe will get you in trouble and other things you learn has positive results. I believe all of the aspects such as the interaction of internal personal factors, the environment, and our behaviors has formed the personality I have today.

Personality is the sum of characteristics which make an individual unique. An ongoing debate about personality is whether it is personality is inherited and developed through the environment we live in. There are numerous theories suggested to support both sides of the debate.

I will also present my strengths and weaknesses as they relate to each personality type code, E, N, F, and J, and how my preferences in how I think and behave, can both positively and negatively impact my environment.
