Abstract

It has been fascinating to study psychology at CSUF to become a professional clinical therapist. I am a tennis player in the community college with a greater interest in learning the aspects influencing personality and behavior. I have strived to transfer to CSUF to continue my studies in psychology. My goal is to become a clinical therapist one day. I have worked in the dental field at a pediatric dental office for most of my college life. Psychology focuses on cultural-specific approaches to match personality traits and personal life preferences in care (Na et al., 2019). This profession requires a lot of patience, interpersonal skills, and an understanding of individual personality. Likewise, I work part-time as a wedding coordinator, mainly on weekends. I have gained enormous practical skills in personality psychology, improving my patience and interpersonal skills. Every skill taught in psychology lectures and social settings presents a good platform for improving practical, professional, and personal skills.

[...] These lessons offer an opportunity to showcase compassionate and patient-centered care. In summary, the knowledge taught in psychology lectures and social settings is essential in promoting practical, personal, and professional skills. Personality traits encompass the journey of professional growth and self-discovery. The course emphasized empathy, interpersonal communication, and effective communication. Comprehension of personality traits would aid in enhancing personalized and tailored care. Trait theory aligns with my skills, such as agreeableness and openness to encounters. Patient-healthcare provider collaboration is the key to better care. [...]

[...] (2022) claim that we should support the importance of assessing a person's traits without depending on Western ideologies. This is rational and supportive of the universality of the trait theorem. I have noted my alignment with traits such as agreeableness and openness to experience in diverse cultural settings. Personal traits notably influence the individual perception and response to the world surrounding them. These personality traits influence their decision-making process and interaction with other people. It is interesting how applying trait theory in my professional and personal life fosters empathy and enhances interpersonal skills. [...]

[...] Additionally, I have learned from my readings that personality expression varies with cultural expression. This knowledge came from a book study that taught me the importance of non-verbal cues in assessing personality and ethical decisions based on psychological assessments; Dylman and Zakrisson (2023) state that personalities change depending on authority and social inequality gaps. Hence, I have discovered that early detection of disorders like anxiety or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) would aid in personalizing their care and creating a comfortable environment during dental care.
