Lesson 1 : Introduction to Personality Development
Personality- Meaning
Personality as a term originates from the Roman word “persona” meaning “a mask”, which implies that the theater actors who wore a particular type of mask held a particular personality. Psychologists define personality as “an individual characteristic pattern of behaviour”.
Personality study includes three dimensions.
Personality structure: Identification of basic elements of personality and how they fit together.
Personality dynamics: The way in which the elements interact and operate to determine behavior.
Personality development: The way in which the differences among people come to be.
