On becoming a person throughout his life, works great number of factors, both external and internal.Their diversity is so great that the answer to the question posed in the title of the article, it would be impossible if it were not to accept certain preconditions.
Firstly, the fact of how diverse factors of the individual, making it necessary to spend at least a preliminary, not detailed, and their classification.
Secondly, it is the variety of factors that ultimately leads to a multiplicity of their actions - variations of the individual, so you need to deal with the issue of classification of the main types of personality.
This is important because factors may have a different nature and sources of the formation.The development of human subconscious factors may affect the development of personality, which are described in the works, such as Sigmund Freud and which are for the individual latent (hidden) nature.Influence and so-called borderline situations, which devoted to research scientific activity Karl Jaspers.It is widespread, especially in the modern Western social and psychological science?Existential theory of personality formation (Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus), which is based on the approval of "forced" the freedom of man.
But in its simplest form to explore the factors of personal development should be based on the provisions of the axiomatic that they affect an individual with varying degrees of intensity, and therefore, depending on the dominance of one or another of them, formed by different types of personality.
Accepted provide the following social personality types.
modal type - such a personality, which is characterized by the features and characteristics that are typical for this type of society, its culture, mentality and other aspects.Therefore we can say that there is a dominant group of factors are those that are formed by the surrounding social environment, society itself.
Base type embodies the traits, the minimum necessary for the individual to be clearly identified in the social structure.This is the type of the representatives who say, "Well, now he is (a) a real ... (professional, husband, politician, etc.).Therefore, there is the dominant importance in the formation will play a factor of personal development, initiated the system of education and training, labor groups, family, etc.
In some cases the so-called cumulative effect in the action of factors of personal formation.This phenomenon, when in a certain situation, historical conditions, the effect of some factors is enhanced, and the effects of other, as it were suspended or weakened.For example, when the dominant factors of external origin, it leads to the formation of reactive type personality, whose representatives say, "drifting."In contrast, proactive personality is formed such basic factors of development of the individual, which are enclosed in the individual - his dedication, perseverance, confidence, intellectual capacity.
Marginal type - an example of the lack of a distinct group of the dominant factors in the result of this action develops their personality frontier mentality and blurred identity.
In a word, no matter what science explores the factors of personal development, education, sociology, psychology or another, all of them set can be reduced to the following categories:
- biological and genetic, inherent in the nature of man as a biological being;
- the physical environment, ie the natural climatic and geographical environment in which the development of the individual;
- culture is probably the most important social factor that gives the individual patterns of social behavior and social interaction;
- own social experience that creates a person his behavior criteria and evaluation.
In today's society is difficult to find out the dominance of any group of symptoms.Their effect is multiplicative in nature and unstable, changeable over time.That is why in modern conditions the acute problem of finding a harmonious combination of the factors of internal nature and the public that it provides stable and gradual development.
