In the later years of life, the individual comes into contact with his peers,
school mates, teachers and other groups from whom he acquires new set of ideas,
beliefs, values and attitudes.
As the individual moves through life, he comes across to more groups, and
institutions, from them he discovers and learns another set of socio cultural
characteristics.

How is Personality Developed?

Studies in Psychology reveal that a person passes through various stages of
development. It starts with infancy, childhood, puberty, adolescence and adulthood.
The last stage is the state wherein the individual becomes fully mature in all aspects-
physically, mentally, psychologically and emotionally.

During infancy, the need for attention and acceptance is most dominant. As the
child grows, his needs are centered on recognition, affirmation and appreciation.
Then upon reaching puberty and adolescence, he will experience a strong need for
autonomy- freedom to make decisions and to act for oneself, without being
manipulated by parents and people in authority. Unsatisfied need in each level of
growth leads to what is termed as fixation, a situation which often results to
obsession. This means an insatiable craving for unsatisfied needs like love,
attention, recognition and autonomy. This obsession is carried over to the adult life.

Maslow contends that man starts to crave for the satisfaction of his lower needs-
physiological/biological, progressing to the next level- need for safety and
acceptance. Once these lower needs are satisfied, man will pursue for esteem
needs and the aim for the highest needs- self-actualization – a psychic feeling of
fulfillment for having achieved a goal or having maximized the use of one‘s potentials
and capacities.

Personal growth and Stages of Development:

The process of development takes place in four stages:

Stage 1 – Understanding an Ideal
At this stage, the person is exposed to learning situations where he discovers
an ideal- the ideal personality, qualities of a winning personality, the elements and
conditions for growth and development. He is also able to differentiate functional vs.
dysfunctional behavior and their damage consequences. These knowledge provide
the framework for understanding his behavior and personality.

Stage 2 – Self awareness
After discovering the ideal, the person goes into self-mirroring. He looks into
his personal qualities, behavior and compares this against the ideal. He discovers
his dysfunctional behavior and how it has affected his success, happiness and
relationships with others.
