Abstract

According to social learning theory, personality results mainly from the interaction with and observation of the behaviors of others in one's social environments and experiences, a markedly less dispositional view than that offered by trait theory (Cilliers, 2021). The article does not put as much emphasis on social learning's influence on the development of personality as it does on biological/genetic factors. However, it indicates that personality is based on "a mix of innate dispositions and inclinations along with environmental factors and experiences." This would allow for some influence on social learning but little expansion on how.

The central focus of this Psychology Today article - understanding the core patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that essentially define who we are as individuals - is a fascinating notion that carries profound personal relevance and insights. As a lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal growth, endeavoring to comprehend the nuances of my personality has been an ongoing, multilayered process shaped by a multitude of internal and external forces. This article is intended to incite personal reflection and come alive by making sense of factors that have blended to form my unique identity in concert with the personality research and theories we are studying.

[...] Alignment with Article/Event Message The conclusions of this research study seem to agree in part with the message in the mainstream media article, "What Is Personality?" appearing in Psychology Today; however, it provides some diverging views as well. It says that personality is a complex interplay of inborn dispositions and environmental factors set into place by genetic and non-genetic influences. This view is consistent with the research findings, which suggest that personality is not solely determined by intrapsychic traits but also by how individuals perceive and express themselves in social contexts (i.e., reputation).

[...] While theories and empirical tools can light the way, we are at the cutting edge in personality insight-the creation made possible by the cumulative complexity of lived experience. What follows is an interrogation of those experiences, an attempt to integrate their lessons, and a leaning into the grand mystery of self-discovery, one of the highest alchemical arts a person can pursue as an evergreen personality.

While personality can evolve, the article notes that core traits remain relatively stable during adulthood. The opening section established a foundational understanding of personality as a multifaceted construct rooted in nature and nurture, thus setting the stage for the article's discussion of personality theories, measurements, and implications.
