PERSONALITY by Allport are:
... "A dynamic organization within the individual's physical and psychological systems that determine the characteristic behavior and thought."
Meanwhile, according to Pervin and John:
"Personalities representing individual characteristics which consists of patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors are consistent."
In theories of personality, personality trait consisting of, among others, and the type (type). Trait Self described as a theoretical construct that describes the unit / basic dimensions of personality. Trait consistency describes the response of individuals in different situations. While the type is a grouping of diverse trait. Compared with the concept of the trait, the type has a level of regularity and greater generality than the trait.
Trait is a disposition to behave in a certain way, as reflected in the behavior of people in various situations. Trait theory is a theory of personality based on several assumptions, namely:
1. Trait is a consistent pattern of thoughts, feelings, or actions that distinguish one person from another, so that:
Relatively stable trait over time
Trait consistent from situation to situation
2. Trait is the basic trends that persist for life, but the characteristic behavior may change due to:
no adaptive process
the difference in strength, and
combination of existing trait
Basic personality trait levels change from late adolescence to adulthood. McCrae and Costa believes that during the period from age 18 to 30 years, people are in the process of adopting a stable trait configuration, the configuration remains stable after the age of 30 years (Feist, 2006).
Trait theory first raised by Gordon W. Allport. Allport addition, there are two other experts who developed this theory. They are Raymond B. Cattell and Hans J. Eysenck.
Allport introduced the term central trait, a collection of words that are commonly used by people to describe an individual. Central trait believed to be a window into the personality of a person. According to Allport, the basic unit of the personality trait whose existence is rooted in the nervous system. Allport believes that traits unify and integrate the resulting behavior someone doing a similar approach (either objective or plans) for different situations. However, two people who have the same trait that does not always show the same action. They can express their trait in different ways. The difference is what makes each individual to be unique individuals. Allport therefore believe that individuals can only be understood partially when using tests normed group.
Just like Allport, Cattell also believe that words someone uses to describe himself and others is an important clue to the structure of personality. The fundamental difference between Allport and Cattell Cattell is believed that personality can be generalized. The thing to do is to look for the basic or primary trait of the thousands of existing trait.
According to Allport, genetic and environmental factors are equally influential in determining human behavior. Not only their own genetic or environmental factors alone that determines how personality is formed, but through the reciprocal influence of heredity and environment that gave rise to personality characteristics.
Due to a genetic role in the formation of personality, there are 4 important insights that need attention:
Although genetic factors play an important role on the development of personal, non-genetic factors continue to have a role for variation in personality
Although genetic factors are important in affecting the environment, non-genetic factors are the factors most responsible for the differences in the environment on people
Experiences in the family is important although different family environment for every child in connection with the child's gender, birth order, or a unique event in the life of each child in the family.
Although there is a strong genetic contribution to the trait of personality, does not mean that the trait is fixed or can not be influenced by the environment.
