Human Development and Personal Development

Human development encompasses three domains: physical, cognitive, and psychosocial. It is influenced by heredity, environment, and maturation. Personal development refers to a process of self-reflection to understand oneself, accept one's strengths and weaknesses, and maximize one's potential. It draws from psychology, particularly the work of Maslow and Rogers. Maslow's hierarchy of needs outlines the stages of human development from physiological to self-actualization.

capacity to learn, to speak, to understand, to
reason, and to create

social interactions with other people, our
emotions, attitudes, self-identity, personality,
beliefs and values
Human development is influenced
by:
 Heredity – the inborn traits passed on by the
generations of offsprings from both sides of
the biological parents’ families
 Environment – is the world outside of ourselves
and the experiences that result from our
contact & interaction with this external world
 Maturation – the natural progression of the
brain & the body that affects the cognitive,
psychological and social dimensions of a
person

and early adulthood
