The concept of "personality" has several approaches in psychological science.
First, the personality is described in terms of itsaspirations and motives that make up the unique content of the personal world. The concept of "personality" in this sense includes individual ways of ordering external and internal images in the mind of a person.
Secondly, a personified approach.Within its framework, the concept of "personality" is interpreted as a system of special features - stable and manifested outwardly characteristics of individuality. They are expressed in the person's judgments about himself and the judgments of others about him.
Thirdly, the sociological concept of personality.In this approach, much attention is paid to its functioning in society. Therefore, the process of socialization, the formation of norms and values becomes very important.
Fourthly, the concept of "personality" includes the active "I" of the subject as a system of relations, plans, semantic entities and orientation.
Based on these approaches, a number of key points were developed:
one.The concept of "personality" is a social generalization, which includes everything that is in a supernatural person. Therefore, it is not innate, but arises as a result of cultural and social development.
2A person becomes a person who has his position in life, formed as a result of conscious and very big work. He is able to show independence of thoughts, nonbanality of feelings and special concentration.
3Personality is a specifically human entity, formed by a system of social relations in which an individual can enter into his activity. Its development is a process that does not directly coincide with the lifetime, natural properties of man when he adapts to the external environment.
four.The concept of “personality” is such a purposeful, self-organizing part of a society that has a special function. We are talking about the implementation of an individual way of its functioning. Ability, character, direction and world view will be the regulator of her behavior.
five.The personality is a self-organizing system, the object of attention and activity of which serves both the external world and itself. As a result of its formation, the “I” appears, which includes self-esteem, self-images, a self-improvement program, the ability for self-observation, self-regulation and self-analysis.
But any concept of personality includes what it should:
- have an active lifestyle and the desire to achieve their goals;
- be able to make a choice in a situation of such necessity;
- be able to assess the consequences of the executed decision;
- to answer for the actions before the society and by itself;
- to form value orientations and motivational-need sphere;
- own an arsenal of tools, methods and techniques with which you can master your own behavior and subjugate it to yourself;
- have the freedom of choice.
In psychology, there are a large number of attempts to identify the central core of personality. As a result of numerous studies, a number of conclusions were made:
1. Personality includes a system of psychological traits and qualities that relate to the field of morality, morality and self-improvement.
2. The inner core in ontogeny is formed rather late. This becomes possible when a full-fledged formation of the “I” occurred - as a rule, in adolescence.
3Most scientists agree that a person cannot arise as a result of external passive actions on a growing person. It develops only in the course of its own activities.
