What is Personality?What is Personality?
Personality
The sum total of ways in which an individual reacts and interacts with others.
Personality is the coherent patterning of affect, cognition, and desires (goals) as they lead to behavior. To study personality is to study how people feel, how they think, what they want, and finally, what they do. That people differ from each other in all four of these domains is obvious.
Personality
Determinants
• Heredity
• Environment
• Situation

Personality DeterminantsPersonality Determinants
Heredity: Factors that were deter –mined at conception - physical stature, facial attractiveness, gender, temperament, muscle composition and reflexes, energy level, and biological rhythms – biological, physiological and inherent psychological make up of parents. – the heredity approach says that the ultimate explanation of an individual’s personality is the molecular structure of the genes, located in the chromosomes.
Environment: Culture in which one is raised, early conditioning, the norms among our family, friends, social groups, and other influences we experience. Both heredity and environment are important. Heredity sets the parameters or outer limits, but an individual’s full potential will be determined by how well he or she adjusts tot eh demands and requirements of the environment.
Situation: Influences the effects of environment on personality, which changes in different situations. Certain situations are more significant than others.

– Both negative and positive emotions can distract workers and reduce job performance.
