Genetic, physical, and environmental factors all influence personality development. Genetics determine traits like intelligence levels and temperament inherited from parents. The brain and nervous system also affect personality. Physical attributes and health can impact how one interacts with others. The geographical environment and culture one is raised in shape ideas and attitudes through transmission of values, beliefs, and social norms. Family relationships and socioeconomic status additionally mold personality in a person's formative years. While heredity provides potentials, the complex interplay between nature and nurture ultimately forms a unique and evolving personality pattern for each individual.
The document discusses personality models, focusing on the Big Five personality model. It describes the Big Five dimensions as openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion, and neuroticism. Each dimension is defined and its characteristics are outlined, including traits associated with high and low levels. The history of the Big Five model is reviewed, noting it was originally derived in the 1970s by analyzing data from personality surveys.
Personality is determined by a combination of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. Biological factors include hereditary traits and physical characteristics that are passed down from parents to children. Social factors encompass the environments and relationships that influence a person from infancy onward. Cultural determinants consist of the traditions, beliefs, and norms of the society in which one lives. Additionally, situational factors can alter behavior depending on the specific context. Overall, personality is unique to each individual and represents the sum of innate and learned qualities that impact thoughts, actions, and interactions with others.
The document discusses factors that influence personality development, including biological, cultural, social, and situational factors. Biological factors include genetics and physical characteristics. Cultural factors refer to the traditions, customs and beliefs of one's culture. Social factors comprise the relationships, interactions and environment within families, organizations, communities and societies. Situational factors can cause a person's behavior and responses to differ depending on the context or situation. All of these factors collectively shape a person's unique personality over time.
This document discusses perception and its role in individual behavior. It defines perception as the process of understanding objects or events, which differs between individuals based on their expectations, needs, and background. Perception is influenced by both internal factors in the perceiver, like attitudes and motives, and external factors in the target and situation. The perceptual process involves environmental stimuli being selected, organized, and interpreted. This process can be affected by factors in the perceiver, target, and situation. Finally, the document discusses specific applications of perception in organizational contexts like employment interviews, performance expectations, and employee effort.
The document discusses the key foundations of personality, including biological, cultural, family, social and situational factors. It defines personality as the totality of qualities and traits that make a person unique. The biological foundations discussed include heredity, brain structures, hormones, enzymes, and physical features. Cultural, family and social factors also influence personality development. Freud's psychodynamic theory involving the id, ego and superego is summarized. The document concludes by outlining the six foundations of personality: mental, emotional, social, physical, moral and spiritual.
Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality consists of the id, ego, and superego. The id operates based on the pleasure principle and seeks to satisfy basic desires, the ego mediates between the id and reality, and the superego incorporates societal morals. The three structures are often in conflict, creating anxiety, which the ego defends against using mechanisms like repression, rationalization, and displacement. Defense mechanisms distort reality to reduce anxiety from conflicts between the id, ego, and superego.
Personality - Definition, Meaning and NatureSuresh Babu
Personality is defined as a unique set of traits and characteristics that are relatively stable over time but may change over a longer term. It is a dynamic organization within an individual that determines their adjustment to their environment. Personality includes everything about a person and is a unique organization of their behavior that functions as a unified whole. Personality is shaped by both heredity and a person's environment and learning experiences.

Notes on personality in organisation behavior (For BBA/B.com Students)Yamini Kahaliya
The document discusses various theories and aspects of personality. It defines personality as a combination of characteristics that form a person's unique identity. It discusses several theories of personality including Freud's theory of id, ego and superego; Erikson's stages of psychosocial development; and Sheldon's physiognomy theory of endomorphs, mesomorphs and ectomorphs. The document also outlines five major personality attributes: locus of control, Machiavellianism, self-esteem, self-monitoring, and risk-taking.
The document discusses several determinants of personality:
- Biological factors like genetic inheritance, physical growth, and hormone levels influence personality from birth. The nervous system and glands also impact personality.
- Environmental factors such as culture, family, social groups, status, and life situations shape personality through social and cultural learning.
- Emotional intelligence, the ability to understand one's own and other people's feelings, may be a stronger determinant of career success than IQ.
The document discusses personality and the Big Five model of personality traits. It defines personality as an individual's unique psychological characteristics and how they interact with their environment. The Big Five model categorizes personality into five broad dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, and Openness to Experience. Each dimension is described in terms of traits that define where someone falls on that spectrum. The Big Five model is commonly used in human resources to help place employees and predict job performance based on an individual's personality traits.
This document provides an overview of several major theories of personality. It begins by defining personality as a set of characteristics that uniquely influence cognition, motivation, and behavior. It then outlines the main types of personality theories, including trait theories, psychodynamic theories, humanistic theories, and social-cognitive theories. The document proceeds to summarize several influential theories within each approach, such as Freud's psychodynamic model, Bandura's social learning theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs in humanism, and Skinner's behaviorism. It provides details on the key concepts and structures proposed by theorists like Jung, Eysenck, Cattell, Rogers, and Rotter.

Personality: Meaning and Determinants of Personality, Process of Personality Formation, Personality Types, Assesment of Personality Traits for Increasing Self Awareness
Perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions to understand their environment. It involves receiving stimuli, selecting necessary stimuli for further processing based on internal and external factors, organizing the information into meaningful groups, interpreting and giving meaning to the organized stimuli, checking if the interpretation is correct, and reacting favorably or unfavorably to the perception. Perception is influenced by factors like perceptual set, attribution, stereotyping, halo effect, projection, and perceptual defense. It is a complex process that allows individuals to understand their surroundings.
Values and attitudes are two important factors that influence people's cognition and behavior. They are both largely learned from family, friends, community, and life experiences. While values guide our judgments of right and wrong and help determine behavior, attitudes represent our likes and dislikes toward specific people, objects, or situations based on our values and experiences. Values tend to be more permanent than attitudes, which can change more easily with new experiences.
This document discusses personality types and provides examples. It defines personality as a combination of characteristics that form a person's distinctive character, determined by heredity and environment. It then describes seven types of personalities: perfectionists like NR Narayan Murthy who are realistic, conscientious and principled; helpers like Mother Teresa who are warm, concerned and sensitive to others' needs; romantics like Leonardo Da Vinci who have sensitive feelings; achievers like Sachin Tendulkar who are energetic, optimistic and goal-oriented; asserters like Yathish Chandra IPS who are self-reliant and protective; questioners like Dr. Shabana Azmi who are responsible and trustworthy; and advent
personality traits are "enduring patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself that are exhibited in a wide range of social and personal contexts." A trait is what we call a characteristic way in which an individual perceives, feels, believes, or acts.
Trait theories are the following
Three trait theory
16 personality factor theory
Universal trait theory
Big five model
HEXACO model
Perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions to understand their environment. Perception involves going beyond the information given and is subjective. It directs our actions by providing context. Individual perceptions directly influence behaviors in situations. The perception process involves the senses receiving external phenomena, selective observation, applying past experiences and present feelings through a frame of reference, which leads to assigning meaning and determining behavior. There are various errors in perception like stereotyping, halo effects, and selective perception. It is important to be aware of perceptual biases, communicate with others, understand different viewpoints, and be willing to change perceptions.
The document discusses personality and the factors that influence it. It states that personality is shaped by both heredity and environmental factors. Heredity accounts for up to 55% of personality traits being inherited from parents. Environmental influences include culture, family, group membership, and life experiences. The five main personality dimensions are adjustment, sociability, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and intellectual openness. Personality affects behaviors in organizations and plays a role in observational behavior.

This document discusses personality in the context of agricultural extension. It defines personality as characteristic ways of responding to individuals and situations. It describes the major types of personalities as introvert, extrovert, and ambivert. The key factors that influence personality development are heredity, family background, social interactions, culture, environment, and situations. Understanding farmers' personalities is important for extension workers to effectively plan educational programs and teaching methods, select suitable farmers for certain purposes, and properly advise farmers for desirable changes.
The document discusses various factors that influence individual behavior, including personal factors like age, gender, experience and abilities; environmental factors in the economic, social and political environment; and organizational factors within the workplace like physical facilities, leadership, and reward systems. It provides details on how each of these biographical, learned, environmental, and organizational factors can shape an individual's behavior and performance.
1. Perception is the process by which individuals select, organize, and interpret stimuli from their environment to form a meaningful picture.
2. Perception is influenced by individual factors like needs, values, and expectations, so it can differ between people regarding the same situation.
3. Key aspects of perception include sensation (receiving stimuli through senses), interpretation (refining raw sensory data), and factors like attention, learning, motivation, and personality.
The document discusses concepts and definitions of personality from various theorists. It defines personality as a unique set of relatively stable traits and characteristics that determine one's adjustment to the environment. Personality is influenced by personal, environmental, biological, psychological, and social factors. Major theories discussed include trait theory, Jung's theory of extraversion vs introversion, Allport's trait theory involving cardinal and central traits, and the Big Five approach.
Maslow's hierarchy of human needs is a theory that proposes humans have five categories of needs that motivate behavior. The needs range from basic physiological needs like food and shelter to more advanced needs like esteem and self-actualization. The theory suggests lower level needs must be satisfied before higher level needs can motivate behavior. The hierarchy is often depicted as a pyramid with physiological needs at the base and self-actualization at the top. Maslow's theory is still relevant for understanding human motivation but has limitations as needs may not always follow a strict hierarchy and vary between individuals.

This document discusses personality and its determinants. It begins by defining personality as the combination of characteristics that form a person's unique identity and influence their behavior. It then outlines five key determinants that shape personality:
1. Heredity factors like intelligence, temperament, and physical features which are genetically influenced.
2. Cultural factors like the norms, attitudes and values one learns from their culture and family.
3. Family factors, as the family has the most influence on early personality development through parenting styles and role models.
4. Social factors like socialization from groups and organizations which continues influencing personality throughout life.
5. Situational factors as the environment can also impact personality,
This document discusses the key concepts and determinants of personality. It covers four major sections: concepts of personality, factors that influence personality development, methods of personality assessment, and theories of personality. Some of the main determinants of personality discussed include biological factors like heredity and brain functioning, as well as environmental influences from one's family, social interactions, and culture. The document also notes that situational factors and a person's interactions with their environment can impact how different aspects of their personality are expressed.
The document discusses personality and theories of personality. It defines personality and describes key characteristics. It then outlines several theories of personality, including:
- Psychoanalytic theory proposed by Sigmund Freud which views personality as formed by the interaction of the id, ego, and superego. The id seeks instinctual gratification, the superego acts as a moral constraint, and the ego balances the demands of the two.
- Type approaches which classify personalities into defined types based on traits like temperament. Approaches discussed include those of Hippocrates, Kretschmer, and Sheldon.
- Jung's approach which categorizes personalities as introverts or extraverts based on sociability and other
This document discusses theories of personality development, including psychoanalytic theory and psychosocial theory. It provides an overview of Freud's psychoanalytic theory, including the id, ego, superego, and psychosexual stages of development. It also summarizes Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory and the eight stages of development from infancy to adulthood. Key factors influencing personality like heredity, physiology, psychology, and social factors are also defined.
Personality is determined by both biological and environmental factors. Biologically, factors like heredity, temperament, and physical characteristics influence personality. Environmentally, factors like family experiences, culture, education, and socioeconomic status shape personality development from childhood. Freud's psychoanalytic theory views personality as emerging from the resolution of psychosexual developmental stages, and being influenced by the unconscious id, ego, and superego structures of the mind.

This document discusses factors that shape personality, including heredity, environment, and culture. It describes how personality is influenced by biological factors like genetics, physical development, and hormone activity. Environmental factors like family, culture, social roles, and social interactions also impact personality development from a young age. Children learn behaviors and values from their family and culture that shape their sense of self and how they interact with others.
This document discusses various theories and approaches to understanding personality, including:
- Personality is shaped by both innate factors like heredity and environment factors like culture, family, and social interactions.
- Major theories include trait theories, which view personality in terms of traits, and type theories, which classify personalities into distinct types.
- Assessment of personality can involve self-report inventories, projective tests, and analyzing behaviors in different situations. Understanding personality involves considering both internal and external influences.
This document discusses various determinants of personality in 3 sentences or less:
The determinants of personality discussed include biological factors like brain structure, physical factors like height and weight, heredity factors passed down from parents, cultural factors shaping attitudes and behaviors, social factors from family and peer groups, situational factors bringing out different traits, and environmental factors like neighborhood and workplace that help shape a person's attitudes and values. Identification processes where a person models themselves after others they admire also influences personality development, as well as intelligence which can impact how well one adjusts to their environment.

Personality predicts how people will react in different situations and is a stable organization that allows for dynamic adjustment over time.
This document discusses personality, defining it as reasonably stable patterns of emotions, thoughts and behaviors that distinguish individuals. It notes that temperament refers to hereditary personality aspects like moods and adaptability. Personality is shaped by genetic factors, family/cultural environment, birth order and parenting characteristics. The document explores theories of temperament and outlines nine dimensions identified by Thomas and Chess. It also examines the role of culture in personality development and questions whether personality remains stable across situations.
The document discusses personality from several perspectives. It defines personality according to different psychologists and theories of personality.

Personality determinants & attributesIsha Joshi
The term ‘personality’ is derived from the Latin word ‘persona’ which means a mask. According to K. Young, “Personality is a …. patterned body of habits, traits, attitudes and ideas of an individual, as these are organised externally into roles and statuses, and as they relate internally to motivation, goals, and various aspects of selfhood.” G. W. Allport defined it as “a person’s pattern of habits, attitudes, and traits which determine his adjustment to his environment.”
According to Robert E. Park and Earnest W. Burgess, personality is “the sum and organisation of those traits which determine the role of the individual in the group.” Herbert A. Bloch defined it as “the characteristic organisation of the individual’s habits, attitudes, values, emotional characteristics……. which imparts consistency to the behaviour of the individual.” According to Arnold W. Green, “personality is the sum of a person’s values (the objects of his striving, such as ideas, prestige, power and sex) plus his non- physical traits (his habitual ways of acting and reacting).” According to Linton, personality embraces the total “organised aggregate of psychological processes and status pertaining to the individual.”
Personality is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by both genetic/hereditary factors and cultural/environmental factors. It refers to integrated patterns of behavior that make individuals unique. Psychologists study personality to understand complex human behaviors like emotions, actions, and thoughts. While personality is consistent over time and situations, it is also dynamic and continuously changing due to interactions with the environment. Some key aspects of personality include its uniqueness to each individual, its organization as an integrated whole, its stability and consistency over time, its dynamic nature, and its social nature involving interactions with others.
Psychologists define personality as the enduring characteristics that differentiate individuals and lead to consistent behavior over time and across situations. Allport described personality as the dynamic organization within a person of psychophysical systems that determine characteristic thoughts, behaviors, and unique environmental adjustments. Personality has the key characteristics of being unique, organized, consistent/stable over time, and dynamic. It is shaped by biological factors like heredity and physiology, family and social influences, cultural norms, and situational life experiences.

2. What is personality?
Personality can be described as the
collective qualities, characteristics,
disposition and values of the person
which distinguish him or her from
others, and which will affect the
manners he/she reacts towards or
interacts with other people and his/her
environment.
3. • Every person should be seen as on-going
development process.
• Every person has a different personality and
set of traits:-
1. Glamorous
2. Serious
3. Moody
4. Intellectual
5. Lovely
6. Neutral etc…..
6. BIOLOGICAL FACTORS
1. Brain :-
Brain is the one of the most important factors of
personality determinant. It is generally
believed that the father and the child adopt
almost the same type of brain stimulation
and the later differences are the result of the
environment in which the child has been
grown up.
7. 2. Physical Factors
One of the most important factors in
determining is the ‘Physical Characteristics’ of
an individual. It is believed that this factors
plays a vital role in determining one’s
behavior in any organization.
Physical feature may involve the height of the
person (short or tall), his color (white or
black), his health status (fat or skinny) and his
beauty (handsome or ugly).
8. 3. Heredity factors
• The heredity factors plays a very important
role as the major determinants and factors of
personality. Heredity factors are the one’s that
are determined at the time of conception.
These factors not only affect the physical
features of a person, but the intelligence level,
alternatives, gender, temperament, various,
inherited diseases and energy level, all get
affected by them.
9. Social Factors
Social Factors also play a vital role in determining
one’s personality. The things that revolve and
evolve around us on a regular basis development
determine our personality. The society that we
live in , the culture environment that we face
daily, the community that we get interacted to,
all are included in this factor. Relationships, co-
ordination, co-operation ,interaction,
environment in the family, organizations,
societies all contribute in way or another as
personality determinant.
10. Cultural Factors
The culture in which one live in, that
may involve traditional practices,
norms, customs, precedents and
values, all are important
determinants of personality.
Moreover, the creed, religion and
believes are also very important
factors of personality determinants.
11. Situational Factors
Although these factors do not literally create
and shape up an individual’s personality,
situational factors do alter a person’s behavior
and response from time to time.
The situational factor can be commonly
observed when a person behaves
contrastingly and exhibits different traits and
characteristics.
12. Environmental Factors
Among the factors that exert
pressures on our personality
formation are the culture in
which we are raised , our early
conditioning, the norms among
our family , friends and social
groups etc.
14. Social psychology is the study of how people
and groups interact.
Social psychology is the scientific study of how
people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are
influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied
presence of others.
15. The Socio-Psychological Theory
asserts that individual and society
are interlinked.
This means, an individual strives to
meet the needs of the society and the
society helps him to attain his goals.
16. Through this interaction, the personality of an individual
is determined.
According to this theory, the social variables and not the
biological instincts, are the important determinants in
shaping
the individual’s personality.
Here, the motivation is conscious, i.e. an individual
knows what are his needs and wants and what kind of
behavior is required
to meet these needs.
17. Thus, the theorists believe that socio-psychological factors, i.e.
the combination of both
the social (family, society, wealth, religion) and the
psychological factors (feelings, thoughts, beliefs)
play an important role in shaping the personality of an
individual.
It is the society from where the individual inculcates the
cultural values and the social norms,
which helps him in shaping his personality and influences
his behavior according to the external situations.
