How does character develop and mature? What factors will affect it? Or has it changed? These are not only an important aspect of psychological research, but also the concerns of psychology lovers. The development, formation and change of personality are closely related to human genetics, environment and other factors.
What ways do genetic factors affect people's personality? This is a very complex and controversial issue. General theories tend to believe that genetic factors affect people's character through temperament and intelligence. The temperament formed by the role of genetic factors makes the character have a unique color according to its own way of activity. For example, it is also a character characteristic of helping others. Bloody people are quick and enthusiastic when helping others, while mucous people are calm and calm, and their emotions are contained in their hearts. Temperament is determined by the type of high-level neural activities. Therefore, from the beginning, temperament affects the formation and development speed of personality.
The influence of genetic factors on intelligence has long been proved by Jason's research. Whether children are raised by their biological parents or by adoptive or foster families, there is always a significant correlation in IQ between them and their biological parents. Jason attributed this to the influence of heredity on intelligence. In other words, intelligence and character are affected by the characteristics and types of high-level neural activities, and intelligence plays a role in the formation of human character. This role is shown in the process of human development. People use their intelligence, master the corresponding knowledge and skills, calmly size up the situation, and make their behavior conform to the objective law. In this way, they will have the courage to overcome difficulties and show good personality characteristics such as consciousness, boldness, decisiveness and perseverance in difficulties and obstacles. Therefore, although politicians, inventors, writers and artists are engaged in different occupations, they all have highly developed intelligence, creativity and excellent personality characteristics.
Personality is not only influenced by genetic factors, but more importantly, environment is a decisive factor in the formation of personality development. The effect of environment is mainly through family, school, social activity circle and work practice.
The maturity of character is relative, and absolute maturity does not exist. In terms of the changes of people's environment, there are also certain changes in personality. However, unless there are major stimuli (such as lovelorn, accidents to important people, major failures or setbacks, etc.), once a person's personality is formed, it will be basically stable.
