Personality Development Case Study

Introduction
A person’s body works in an extraordinary way. One’s behaviour and personality can either be shaped or even influences by internal (psychological development) or external factors (environment). In this assignment theories that contribute to personality will be dealt with in depth but first one has to understand what personality is. Personality can be defined, according to Meyer, Moore & Viljoen (2008), “as the constantly changing but nevertheless relatively stable organisation of all physical, psychological and spiritual characteristics of the individual which determine his or her behaviour in interaction within the context in which the individual finds himself or herself ’’ ¬(p.11).
Later in this assignment we will go through

Thus the concept of personality has been used to explain what causes people to behave differently in some situations and to explain individual’s consistency in responding across situations.
The basic assumptions of a person caught up in a constant conflict between drives within psyche and the demands and norms of the society (Meyer et al, 2008). Based on the case study, Susan once got angry when the neighbour’s grass went flying into her yard when they were mowing it and she did not talk to them for a long time. When it comes to biological and psychic determinism Freud describes human drives as physiologically primarily based and frozen inside the body. Susan was trained from an early age to clean; when she did not clean properly she was punished as her parents believed in physical punishment. He then explains the mechanistic assumption of physical principles of energy consumption; conversation and transformation are regarded as valid for human functioning. Susan is always ready to clean, after her retirement she took cleaning as her daily job and she spends her days

In learning of behaviour, people learn from one another by how they behave and looking at their attitudes towards others (Meyer et al, 2008).
Human behaviour is learnt by viewing across modelling. Through this people grab ideas of how they should behave and they learn it. Modelling has important surroundings which are attention, retention, reproduction and motivation. Attention is components that increase or lower concentration given, retention is not forgetting what you have concentrated on which includes mental functioning, reproduction is the ability to duplicate the image and motivation is being driven and having purpose (Anon, 2016).
Susan learnt her behaviour of cleaning from her mother and she grew up in an environment which was cleaned daily. Susan pays attention to cleaning and she never forgets to clean. She is always motivated to clean as sees it as a means of her life.
