According to Chess and Thomas (1985), there are three types of temperaments that children reflect. The first temperament that children reflect is called the “easy temperament,” this is call easy because children with this temperament tend to adapt to new environments and are easy to adjust to new people. In addition, another temperament that exists is called the “difficult temperament.” Children with this temperament tend to have difficulties adapting to new environments; they also express the intensity of their mood, which is usually negative. Chess and Thomas (1985) explain that children who have difficult temperaments have difficulties adapting to new people and they tend to show it by crying. Furthermore, another temperament that exist …show more content…
Lilia showed the trait of distractibility. Chess and Thomas (1985) state that distractibility refers to how easily a child could be distracted. They explain that some children with distractibility could have difficulties following a routine. Lilia could have the distractibility trait because she got easily side track during my observation. In one instance, Lilia was eating her snacks, but got distracted when a child spilled water on the table. Lilia lost track of what she supposed to be doing and started to jump on her chair, instead of eating her snacks. In addition, the teacher asked the students that when they were done they could go back to the playground and play, Lilia was confuse about the transition and decided to go and chat with other girls who were still finishing up their snacks instead of going out to the playground and play. Another trait that I believe Lilia reflected during my observation was the intensity of reaction. Chess and Thomas (1985) explain that one of the characteristics of this trait is when a child gets upset easily and when they react with a strong attitude to even minor events. Lilia’s teacher tripped over Lilia’s chair and even though the teacher said “I am sorry, Lilia” Lilia looked at her teacher with an upset stare. In another instance, some girls were riding a bicycle and hit Lilia’s bicycle, in this instance Lilia scream to the girls and said “back
Personality predispositions can determine levels of extraversion, which determine the levels to which one seeks social support, thus determining positive affect. Similarly, personality predispositions can determine levels of neuroticism that may influence one’s style of coping in the face of both positive and negative external factors which can determine negative affect (Diener, 1996). Happiness, a core aspect of positive subjective wellbeing, involves maintaining a superior level of positive affect in comparison to negative effect, based on specific positive or negative emotions linked to the recent experiences in one’s life (Emmons & Diener, 1985). Positive emotions such as joy and pride must trump negative emotions such as frustration and sadness in the recent past or present in order for an individual to feel happy. Life satisfaction builds on this and is a cognitive valuation of the quality of an individual’s experiences as a sum throughout their entire life (Emmons & Diener, 1985). Individual personality traits have been found to influence the different patterns and levels of life satisfaction, positive and negative affects and simply general, overall happiness (McCrae, 1983).

An emerging trend among today’s employers is the increased focus on the personality traits of their employees. Whether that focus is on the ability to hire the right person by predicting job performance, or discovering the right “fit” for an employee in a team, a company’s success may depend on these factors. Creating the right team based for the best success of the team is crucial. However, due to project constraints, abilities, market place, etc, the ability to pair the right individuals may not be available.
About “10 percent” of children fit into this category (Mangione). A feisty child expresses their opinions in a very intense way. Whether they are happy or mad, everyone around them will know how they feel. These children remain active most of the time, and this causes them to be very aggressive. Feisty children often have the tendency to have a “negative persistence” and will go “on and on nagging, whining and negotiating” (“Facts About Temperament”) if there is something they particularly want. Unlike flexible children, feisty children are irregular in their napping and feeding times, but they do not adapt well to changes in their routines. They get “used to things and won’t give them up” ("Facts About Temperament"). Anything out of the ordinary could send them into some type of fit. If these children are not warned of a change, they may react very negatively (Mangione). Feisty children also tend to be very sensitive to their surrounding environment. As a result, they may have strong reactions to their surroundings.
In the day to day life, experiences and connections are made. Many things that occur in one’s life can all stem from their individual personality, but interpreting how one’s personality guides their life presents a difficult challenge. Many actions, quirks, and patterns that a person has are easily noted due to the ability to see it, but the puppeteer behind these habits is an individual’s personality. A certain personality type can affect the perception of certain events and the reactions/feelings to certain outcomes. While one person might see a situation as dreadful, another may see it entirely different. We tend to find ourselves side by side with people we see similarities between due to a parallel in certain traits, but no two individuals are exactly the same based on differences in personality. Success is hinged on many things and one of those things is the development of self-awareness. To know oneself is key to tackling on intimidating tasks and situations, but to also grow in terms of knowledge and synergy. In my attempt to

There are many types of diverse people classified under various categories. Some people have different types of personalities. They could be classified as extremely manipulative, others as impulsive, and some may not show anything on the outside and have wonderful social skills. These categories help in the understanding of humans. This study is called Psychology and there are many different subfields in this diverse study of the people around us. One subfield that is particularly interesting is personality psychology. Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that studies personality and its variation between individuals.
Our personalities are what distinguish us from each other beyond our appearance; without them, we would all behave and react in the same way. Personality is the reason we are outgoing or introverted, persistent or blaze, and anxious or calm. We each have different levels of these competing characteristics that make us unique. But why are personalities so varied? Personality is determined by an array of factors from genetic and biological to the personal experiences and decisions we have faced from the day we are born. The complexity of our personalities cannot be simply explained, and for this reason there exists many different theories of how it’s developed and personality is still deeply under study. I went into this subject with an open-mind
There were between 68 and 75% of children profiles that did not change over consecutive time points. Only 72% stayed at their same profile at the first and fourth time point. Then finally 50% have lower stability across the year. So most children's profiles did not change over a course of a year. One reason is because as children grow older, their path of development is set and change is not as common. However there was change when it came to parenting. The typical profile related to more positive parenting, whereas the expressiveness profile was from less positive parenting and the fearful profile was a combination of less positive and negative parenting. So the more positive parenting the lower level of temperament characteristics there will be in your child. The study also looked to see if in fact if parenting was changed, would it change the level of temperament profile. It was found that an increase typical profile was because there was more positive than negative parenting. While with expressiveness and fearfulness profile, was because of a decrease in positive parenting. All the results in this study find that the more positive parenting involved that there can be changes in the child's temperament. But they need to be done early because the older child. the harder it will be to mold the
Personality tests tell a person a lot about why a person is who they have become. I believe that these test if taken truthfully can identify deficiencies that individuals can work on to benefit not only themselves but others in the organizations that they work in. Some models state that it is in human nature and chemicals that decided how a person acts but I believe it is based on life experiences and a personality can change as long as a person knows the deficiencies and works to change them.
Temperaments are something we are all born with. They display personality traits like attitudes, personal values, and talents. We can not change our temperament. It is what makes us who we are. We should be thankful God has given us different temperaments. A temperament is the the combination of inborn traits that subconsciously affect man’s behavior. Each temperament has its strengths , challenges, Qualities, and shortcomings. The four temperaments are melancholy, Phlegmatic, choleric, and sanguine. The four temperaments were originated in ancient times. They were originally known as the four humors.
The study of personality theories of psychology is the section of psychology which studies individuals’ personalities and differences. A theory is a model that helps us predict or explain an outcome; in this case it is personality or behavior. Our personality is what makes us unique or different from other people. Many personality theorists may not feel the same about the development of personality or behavior but, they all are interested in the commonalities among people. How are people “put together,” how do they “work,” and how do they “fall apart.”
Personality takes many shapes and forms and is affected by many factors. My understanding of personality is simply a genetic and environmentally determined set of psychological traits that influence our reactions in the world around us. Genetic because our parents possess a certain set of psychological personality traits that we tend to have in common with them so therefore in my opinion there are heritable personality traits. Personality is environmental because we each have our own separate experiences in the world and these experiences help form our unique personality. Neo-Freudians such as Jung have given us a wide array of ideas of how they believe personality is developed and formatted. Jung in particular has a very interesting
The relationship between personality and behavior. Does our personality cause the behavior to stay calm or go on a rampage? People all over the world have different types of disorders and a certain disorder is called a personality disorder. Arguments from researchers have been made whether or not with someone who has a personality disorder has anger problems and is a danger to others (Davison, 2012). Behavioral problems come from social-cultural influences such as presence of others, the media and peer influences (Myers, 2014).
