The document discusses the basic nature of human beings and human skills. It describes how human skills differ between individuals and include things like communication, leadership, and personality. It discusses how human nature is based on character and temperament, which shape a person's core nature. While the surface can change, human nature itself does not. The document also examines the influence of heredity and environment on human nature and how both contribute to personality development. It outlines some basic dimensions of individual interactions in society, including primary dimensions like age, gender, and nationality and secondary dimensions like communication style and work experience.

desired performance.”

2.Leadership:
Leadership is an interaction between persons in which one results
information of a sort and in such a manner that other becomes

6. Personality
“ personality will mean how people affect others and how they
understand and view themselves, as well as their pattern of inner and
outer measurable traits and the person-situation interaction. How
people affect others depends primarily on their external appearance
(height, weight, facial features, color, and other physical aspects)
and traits. In terms of external appearance, a very tall worker will
have an impact on other people different from that of a very short
worker. There is also evidence from meta-analysis that there are
gender differences in certain personality characteristics.”

9. “Human nature is the basis of character, the temperament
and disposition; it is that indestructible matrix upon
which the character is built, and whose shape it must
take and keep throughout life. This we call a person's
nature.”
The neurobiological substrates of human
nature (basic needs, ego, and fear) imply several
things.

The basic nature of human beings does not and cannot
change. It is only the surface that is capable of alteration,
improvement and refinement; we can alter only people's
customs, manners, dress and habits. A study of history
reveals that the people who walked this earth in antiquity
were moved by the same fundamental forces, were swayed
by the same passions, and had the same aspirations as the
men and women of today. The pursuit of happiness still
engrosses mankind the world over.

Let’s take an example of a class of students in the 4th grade. They
are a noisy, loud bunch, with a teacher who tries hard to
discipline them. If the teacher's voice is very rigid she has a
fair chance of keeping the class quiet. As a result the class is
quiet only in her presence, but the moment she leaves the class
they are back to their mischievous ways. This is because these
children are basically rajasikand tamasik( the mind is more
reactive and is less analytical.) in nature

19. The role of heredity and the brains
Of more importance from the physiological/biological to the study of
personality than the external appearance is the role of heredity and the
brain. Although heredity’s role in personality was traditionally
downplayed, studies of twins in the last decade or so have led to some
new interest. Identical twins share the same genetic endowment, but if
they are raised apart (say through separate adoptions), then the
similarities and differences can provide insight into the relative
contribution of heredity vs. environment or nature vs. nurture.

Although twin studies in general are open to criticism of political
influence and lack of scientific controls, most behavioral scientists
now agree that genes play a role not only in physical characteristics
and the brain, but also in personality.

For example:
A recent report by the American Psychological Association concludes,
“studies over the past 20 years on twins and adopted children have
firmly established that there is a genetic component to just about every
human trait and behavior, including personality, general intelligence
and behavior disorders.”
The development of personality has traditionally been an important area
of understanding human behavior. Modern developmental psychology
does not get into the argument of heredity versus environment or of
maturation (changes that result from heredity and physical
development) versus learning. The human being consists of both
physiological and psychological interacting parts. Therefore,
heredity, environment, maturation, and learning all contribute to
the human personality.

22. Heredity what make us?
Nature v/s nurture
*Heredity and biology
*Environment life experience
e.g., Identical twins share the same template but have different “states”
Environment and life experience
*Plaster v/s plasticity
*Set like plaster
*Changes throughout adulthood

Views on theory
(a) Trait theories: Personality is set of mental systems, different
for each individual
(b) Humanist theories: Difficult to predict-lives are not
scripted-personalities are defined by their own different
perceptions and experiences.
(c) Behavioral theories: Personality is the constantly changing
set of learned behavior, influenced by reinforcements

25. Basic dimensions of individual
interaction in society
What is society?
“A number of persons associated for any temporary
or permanent object; an association for mutual or
joint usefulness, pleasure, or profit; a social union; a
partnership; as, a missionary society.”

Europeans in their physical characteristics. Even identical twins

32. Conclusion
Nature is different from person to person. Nature is affected by
many factors like attitude, personality, values etc.
Influences of the physical environment and of society on the individual
but also the actions of the individual and his reactions to these
influences. A study on the basic nature of human biological aging

physiological variables.
