Cultural Factors
• Among the factors that influence personality formation is the culture in which we are
raised, early conditioning, norms prevailing within the family, friends and social groups
and other miscellaneous experiences that impact us.
• The culture largely determines attitudes towards independence, aggression, competition,
cooperation and a host of other human responses.

Family Factors
• A substantial amount of empirical evidence indicates that the overall home environment
created by the parents, in addition to their direct influence, is critical to personality
development.
• The parents play an especially important part in the identification process, which is
important to the person’s early development.

9
Social Factors
• Socialization involves the process by which a person acquires, from the enormously wide
range of behavioural potentialities that are open to him or her, those that are ultimately
synthesized and absorbed.
• Socialization starts with the initial contact between a mother and her new infant. After infancy,
other members of the immediate family – father, brothers, sisters and close relatives or friends,
then the social group: peers, school friends and members of the work group – play influential
roles.

Situational Factors
• Human personality is also influenced by situational factors. The effect of the environment is quite
strong. Knowledge, skill and language are obviously acquired and represent important modifications of
behavior.
• An individual’s personality, while generally stable and consistent, does change in different situations. The
varying demands of different situations call forth different aspects of one’s personality.

Summary of the Topic
Psychologists say that our personality is mainly a result of four major
determinants, i.e. Physical (Biological/Hereditary), Social (the community you
are brought up in and your role in the community), Psychological (your
behaviour, emotions and inner thought patterns) and Intellectual (your values
and beliefs). These determinants of personality further also include various
cultural, situational and environmental factors that you might come across in life.
