The main influences on personality development is composed of many aspects such as biological, social influences, adult and childhood development. Some important influences on personality development are biological and social influences during adult and child development. Temperament is developed based on consistent styles of behavior and emotional reactions that are present from infancy onward, presumably due to biological influences (Cloninger, 2004). All experience during childhood and adulthood make great impacts in life because each occurrence shapes the person …show more content…
Based on different experiences that someone has overcome develop personal attributes leading to personality development. For an example, someone who has grown up with close attachment and bonds with family, usually grows up to have many close bonds and relationships with other people leading them to be more social than someone who did not. Little actions have big results when it comes from childhood, because while people are growing up, they tend to do the same habits unless told otherwise. If someone doesn’t realize it or bother to help them better themselves, they would not know that a specific action would be wrong. For an example, parents that smoke around their children, usually make the impression that smoking is not a bad habit, as a result at least one, if not all their children will become …show more content…
Behavioral therapy is focused on a “systematic and structured approach to counseling” (Cloninger, 2004). Along with behavioral, cognitive behavior therapy is what will contribute to how one behaves and the result from the behavior will reinforce the way that one thinks (Cloninger, 2004). Cognitive behavioral therapy is aimed at disrupting faulty thinking, which should result in different choices, which should then result in different behavior with different results, which reinforces positive thinking (Corey, 2004).
The primary tenets of this theory begin with classical conditioning developed by Pavlov. Learning is developed through pairing one item to another. Pavlov’s experiment began with the ring of a bell, salivation, and food. This theory began working with phobias and irrational fear (Cloninger, 2004). The goal was to create a new association to create calmness. As for operant conditioning developed by Skinner, consequences were used to reinforce or punish both negative and positive behavior (Corey,
