what factors do u think are important for development of one's personality?

Answer 1

Firslty it brings in the important factor of nature vs nurture.
Naturists believe all personality is predetermined by your inherited genes - therefore development is simply uncovering these factors
The nurture side believes that we both start off as a blank slate and that we develop our personality on the way.
Most psychologists believe your persoanlity is a mixture of both of these factors and therefore environmental factors are particually important
I would suggest that the following are the most important for developing your persoanlity (1 being the most important)

1. A support network (friends and families)
2. Taking yourself out of you comfort zone
3. Dealing with failures
4. Successes
5. Hobbies
6. Communication - Learning about a wide range of different people, in different situations
7. Education
8. Being content with your physical apperance
9. Imagination?
10. Travelling

I'm sure you can elaborate on these!

Answer 2

The interaction of genetics and the environment are the factors contributing to ones personality. For example, a person could be born with a very aggressive personality, and absence of empathy towards others. No love or perfect parenting is going to make a good person out of this child who will probably develop an antisocial personality disorder. Another example is a child born who is passive and easy to mold, give him/her a set of parents who are good, supportive and stress love, play and education in the raising of this child and you will likely get an adult with a very functional positive personality. Many children are born with a chance for developing a healthy personality but through poor parenting, or other factors such as abuse from teachers, or relatives can develop flaws in their personality. Therefore, personality is developed through various factors; The genetic make up, the parenting, the educational system, the neighborhood they grew up in, the extended family, or simply random occurrences which may have led to trauma, ie; rape by a stranger.

Answer 3

Both genetic factors and environmental factors. Personally I think it has a lot to do with experiences and influences in the first 10 years of your life.
