Theories of Personality
2 paragraph reflection
Personality theories emphasize the significance of a collection of experiences, particularly those of childhood, that influence and shape a person's personality. Differences exist between them. Undoubtedly, experiences influence personality development, so change is an inevitable part of that process. Experience plays a central role in personality theories, while physiological factors usually play a secondary role. Some theories mention heredity and other factors. Classic personality theories mostly ignored biological factors (Eysenck's theory). Personality theorists say human nature is something we all share. Some people share some traits, and we all have unique characteristics (individual differences). To provide a comprehensive explanation of personality, it would be necessary to specify the relative contributions of genetics, traits, and sociocultural factors. The determinants, the learning process, existential-humanistic considerations, unconscious mechanisms, and cognitive processes all contribute to a person's behavior. This is important when observing to understand other's personalities and behaviors in the workplace.
Throughout all the readings, a common theme was how personality can be measured and how effective these methods are. Different researchers may argue that one method is better, but overall, one approach alone cannot reliably and validly assess individual personality.
