Personality Development
Ma. Carmen M. Echavez

Introduction
• Unlimited promises, happiness, excitements,
and complexities abound for us:
• Thus living in this world becomes exciting,
challenging and fulfilling
• Man is the greatest of all resources.
• Natural resources such as mines, minerals and
nature such as rivers, forests, seas will be
useless without the technical knowledge of
man.

• Man is endowed with intelligence.
• Characteristics like industriousness,
resourcefulness, resiliency and creativity make
man the best gift to environment.
• On the other hand, man’s potential will
remain dormant without the action of his
environment.
• Both human and environment factors are
partners in the development of man.

• The process man, the creative man, the self-
trusting man and the courageous man are the
kinds of men most fitted in this fast changing
world.

Meaning of Personality
• Personality is the embodiment of feelings and
behavior which make man the unique person
that he is.
• Personality is the way an individual is
interrelated through his ideas, actions and
attitudes with the many non human aspects of
his environment and his biological heritage

Personality
• Has been defined also as “the overall pattern
or integration of a person’s structure, modes
of behavior, attitudes, aptitudes, interests,
intellectual abilities and many other
distinguishable personality traits.
• Is the conglomeration of the following
components: physical self, intelligence.
Character traits, attitudes, habits, interests,
personal discipline, moral values, principles
and philosophies of life

• His personality is the reflection of his inner
self. His behavior causes others to respond to
him favorably or unfavorably.
• He must know how to adjust equally well to
various life situations that confront him with
full satisfaction for him and for the people
around him
• We retain our basic ideals but balance them
off with the facts of life.

• We bridge the gap between visioning and
current realities, accept and receive cheerfully
what are offered on hand through the
opportunities that come our way
• Children should be taught early in life how to
assess their achievements every now and then.
• As one grows, his habits become developed.
• As he gains age, his maturity evolves from
learning experiences.

Components of Personality
•1. Habits – are actions so often repeated at
regular intervals until they become fixed
characteristics.
Ex: going to church, brushing one’s teeth,
bathing everyday.
•After several repetitions of the same action,
they become automatic.
•Before an action can become a habit, a person
should first know and assess if the action is
worthwhile keeping

•Once habits are formed, they are difficult to
unlearn.
•Ex: habits of smoking, taking drugs, gambling
and drinking
•Behavior modification is the technique most
feasible and recommendable in correcting
negative habits

2. Attitudes – are certain ways of viewing things
as acquired and developed through the years of
exposure to man’s family, school and
community.
Immediate older members of the family who
pattern their behavior after their father and
mother greatly influence the attitude of young
children, whose early acquisition of attitude
becomes deep, thus these impressions leave an
indelible mark in the subconscious.

• Children whose penchant for curiosity is
always thwarted and whose initiative is
curtailed will grow without self confidence.
Repressing them can make them timid.

3. Interest is that natural inclination to focus one’s
concern towards a specific area of work.
•Exposures at an early age are carried through the
years in a family setting, school and community,
gradually shaping the interests of the adult.
•A child who grew up in the field where farming is the
main source of livelihood will develop love for farming.
•A family of teachers inevitably influence the interests
of the child toward teaching.
•The developed interest makes the job lighter for him

4. Values – are ways of upholding certain priorities in
accordance with the hierarchy of needs by Abraham
Maslow.
•When high esteem is attributed to certain things after
making well deliberated choices from alternatives, then
it is what we call values
•Values are best learned and reinforced through actual
practices, actions, and application in one’s everyday life
•One’s values system can be assessed by making one
choose his priorities among money, career, love,
religion, education or family.

5. Principles – are guides to a person in making
judgments.
•The individual is consistent in his application of
these principles which are in consonance with
his norms of morality.
•The child during his growing years is not a
passive reactor to events.
•He is full of action and energy to make things
happen. He has always has fresh and new ways
of looking at things.

•The changes in behavior occur when the child
interacts and learns from people who are
important to him
•Children are adaptable and vulnerable to
changes
“ what you can do tomorrow will depend largely
on your thinking today”

6. Mental Capacity – or intelligence of the
person is an innate faculty of the mind which
gives him the power to discern, to recognize and
to comprehend.
•It is through the intellect that knowledge is
acquired
•The intelligence quotient of a man is the
combination of what he has inherited as they
are processed and developed through
interaction with his environment.

`
• In class with the same subject, teacher, period
of time allotted for the subject, same
classrooms, books and references, students
usually get different grades, thus signifying
that people are born with different capacities
for learning

to his personal life?

Developing One’s Personality
•Although heredity sets the limit of one’s development
in personality, the environment provides the greater
influence.
•The individual determines how he can maximize the
development of his personality through the
opportunities available to him in:
1. Self awareness – indicates what kind of person you
are. Are you active, fast moving or slow. Are you
dynamic and full of optimism, stereotyped,
conservative or pessimistic ( lack of hope)

2. Assessment of his personal assets and
liabilities is based on factors such as intelligence,
talents, industriousness, resourcefulness,
flexibilities and physical attractiveness.
3. Personal Growth. Growing and learning
continuously and consistently means total
development.
4. Personal effectiveness means how useful you
are, not only to yourself but also to other
people.

• No one is an island, as the saying goes. One
cannot live alone in a room and exempt
himself from problems and challenges in
society.
• This is a life of struggle where only the fittest
can survive.
• We need the competence, compassion,
expertise, and skills of others to complement
our own.

Reasons for developing personality
1. For social acceptance
2. For self satisfaction
3. For self confidence
4. To keep ourselves on the job

Social acceptance
• It is the third need in the Filipino hierarchy of
needs.
• It is the desire to be treated in accordance
with one’s status.
• The better the personality of a person the
more friends he acquires
• It is a person’s greatest desire to have friends.

Self - satisfaction
• We feel not only comfortable but also happy
when we have a good personality.
• A happy person meets the bad temper and
unkind dispositions of others with
understanding and good humor
• When people rejects us because we are
careless with our personality, we become
dysphoric (unhappy) and the condition
hinders our growth.

Self - confidence
• When we are aware that we have a pleasing
personality, we have the confidence to face
anybody.
• Self confidence elicits positive feelings which
are necessary for mental health.
• We develop negative feelings like feelings of
inferiority when we are aware that our
personality is not good as that of others.

To keep ourselves on the job
• Personality has a great deal to do with holding
a job.
• A salesman has to deal with people and
influence them favorably toward the product
that he is selling.
• The salesman should have a good appearance
and he should show his motives, his ideals and
his good ways of approaching and motivating
the people to buy his products.

memory.

more and more sensory stimulation. The child
acquires strong foundations for developing patterns
of behavior and style of thinking.

The emotional aspects
•A person’s emotional makeup is shown in his
likes and dislikes, whether he is aggressive or
docile (easily taught), how he responds when
things become difficult, how quickly he is given
ton anger or whether he can take a job or not

• This is seen in how well a person conducts
himself with other people and how well he
observes the rules of etiquette that govern
society.
• Social attitudes and behavior are affected by
physiological conditions and changes, mental
alertness and the extent of emotional matuity.

• If these social habits develop smoothly, they can
function satisfactorily in the child’s social
environment and will produce a socially adaptable
person who is equipped to meet adequately the
various situations in which he finds himself.

the child antisocial and unable to adjust to other
people.
