- Components of personality
While we make evaluations about people's personalities from what we observe, psychologists take a broader view and look at different components of personality that we may all have.
Some of the fundamental characteristics that make up the whole are:
This is the way that people regularly behave or react in a given situation, for example, some people may always react to a stressful situation by getting angry, while others may withdraw into themselves and others may cry; in each instance the person will be consistent in the way that they behave.
- Psychological and physiological
Although personality is a psychological construct, it is also influenced by biological needs and processes, and so the psychological and physiological overlap to make up a whole.
- Impact behaviors and actions
This means the way we behave in particular instances; our personalities don't just influence what we do, they also cause us to act in a certain manner.
Personality can be observed in more than just the way a person behaves; it is also apparent in the way that they think, in their relationships with other people and in all the ways that we behave socially.
There are many different theories to explain how personalities develop and include thoughts on how outside influences can have an impact, and how biological events can make a difference. There are also those who believe that genetics can play a part.
