SICK PERSONALITY The personally can be broadly classified into two groups – sick personality and healthy personality. The sick personality is also known as disturbed or peculiar personality. Sick personality can be the consequence of physical and/or psychological factors. These factors may or may not be in the control of the person. Some of these factors can be troubled childhood, repeated failures, lack of motivation, rejections, distrust of the parents and peers etc. The person himself has to assume a greater responsibility for following a prescribed pattern and pulling himself out of this situation. UNIT II O & B

HEALTHY PERSONALITY Healthy personality is an image of a person who does not feel anxious or hostile, is not self defeated or destructive to others. People with healthy personalities are judged to be well adjusted. Apart from a good physical health, some other characteristics and features are necessary for an individual in order to have a positive, strong, and balanced personality. Such a personality helps an executive to influence other people in his favor. UNIT II O & B

FACTORS INFLUENCING PERSONALITY The most important and relevant question related to personality is: How does it originate and develop? The major determinants of personality of an individual can be studied under four broad heads – biological, family, cultural and situational. UNIT II O & B

BIOLOGICAL FACTORS: The foremost determinant of personality is the biological factor, in which are included heredity, the brain and the physical stature. Psychologists and geneticists argue strongly that heredity plays an important role in one’s personality. The importance of heredity varies from one personality trait to another. For example, heredity plays a more important role in determining a person’s temperament than determining the values and ideals. UNIT II O & B

BRAIN OF THE INDIVIDUAL Another factor which influences the personality is the brain of the individual. Perhaps, physical stature of an individual is the most outstanding influence on the personality of an individual. For example, the fact that a person is short or tall, fat or skinny, good looking or not, will influence others and in turn will affect the person himself. UNIT II O & B

FAMILY FACTORS: Family and social factors are also important in giving the shape to an individual’s personality. It initially starts with contact with the mother and later with other members of the family. Later still, the contact with social group influences an individual’s personality. The personality of an individual is also influenced by the home environment. There is evidence to indicate that the overall environment at home created by parents is critical to personality development. Apart from the family background, social class also leaves an imprint on the personality of an individual. UNIT II O & B

SITUATIONAL FACTORS Situational factors also influence the human personality. The effect of environment on personality is quite strong. Knowledge skill and language are acquired by a person and can be termed as learned modifications of behavior. These learned modifications cannot be passed on to the children. The children in turn must acquire them through their personal effort, experience and the interaction with the environment. UNIT II O & B

SITUATIONAL FACTORS Many a times the actions of the person are determined more by the situation, rather than his behavior. Therefore, the situation may potentially have a very big impact on the actions and expressions UNIT II O & B
