Describe the psychological factors that influence the development of personality.

Within the field of psychology, personality has been studied for many years. Psychologists have been conducting research in the field by engaging in experiments, case studies, self-reported research, and clinical research. As early as the mid-1700s, researchers began making evaluations and trying to learn more about personality.

Over the years, various people have conducted research into personality development, and each has his or her own ideas regarding it. Some viewpoints share similarities, and all attempt to explain why people are the way they are and how they got that way.

The results of all this research include such theories as:

• type theories, the psychological differences and classifications of people;
• psychoanalytic, our interactions with other mechanisms;
• behaviorist, which looks at what impacts our personality from the outside;
• social cognitive, involving the process of thinking and judging;
• humanistic, which looks at our "free will" to do things.
