From today lesson, I learn about that the personality is refers to a theatrical mask (reflects to our roles) worn by performers and also our identity which reflects our attitude and character. Personality is the characteristic pattern of the thoughts, feelings and behavior and make people different from each other. Other people will realize if we have a change in our characteristic pattern especially our parents because the pattern is consistent and repeated. Psychology cannot read the mind of people, but can interpret the pattern of people. People should reduce comparison and cannot too outrageous because it will make you suffer. We do not compare with other people if already have improvement on our result or other things. For example, you make the comparison with your friends and your friends get the good result buy you did not get and this will make you feel sad and want to give up. Personality can help to predict and explain a person’s behavior. I also understand that the study of personality focus on two which are understanding individual differences in personality characteristic and also understanding how the various parts of a person come together.
The idea of personality is use to explain the consistent of a person’s behavior and distinctive response or people to the same situation. So, personality refers to an individual’s unique constellation of consistent behavioral traits. In addition, I also learn about the factor contribute to the development of personality is your genetics, upbringing, and your life experience. Personality will impact how we view ourself and what our perspective about other and the world around us. The characteristic of personality is consistency (people act in the same way in different situation), behavior and actions ( influence our move, acting and cause us act in certain ways). The psychological and physiological is also another characteristic of personality but research also suggests the biological processes and needs. Multiple expressions can be seen through our thinking, feelings and social interactions. I know that there are some type theories related to biological influence such as type A ( like to compete, focus on career, easy stress), type B (low stress, adaptable to change), type C (perfectionists, conscientious) and also type D (feeling worry, lack of self confidence, hopeless).
