Psychology of a Person: Mirror of Evaluations: Self Esteem, Goal Setting, Mental Health, Personality Psychology, Positive Thinking

By Kitty Corner

It is a well-known fact that psychology studies not only separate mental processes, their characteristics and patterns, but also psychological aspects of a person as a particular owner of these processes.

Personality means a special person characterized by the certain individual physical and mental characteristics.

Speaking of nature, psychology has always said a person as a member of society. Personality is inconceivable outside society. A man has always been a member of a team - family, school, college, university, office employee, etc. The person’s activity in the organization, the relationship of the individual and the group, mainly determine the development of different personality features. Individual psychological characteristics always characterize nature.

They include needs, interests, ideals and world outlook, political beliefs, person's physical and mental abilities, temperament and temper. The person's psychological features are historically conditioned. They were developed in the course of social and labor life, and, therefore, they express the person’s human essence and characterized features that have evolved in a person as a member of society; they cannot be considered a product of human biological development.

Introduction

General Concept of Personality and

Its Psychological Features

It is a well-known fact that psychology studies not only separate mental processes, their characteristics and patterns, but also psychological aspects of a person as a particular owner of these methods.

Personality means a particular person characterized by the specific individual physical and mental characteristics.

SPEAKING OF NATURE, psychology has always said a person as a member of society. Personality is inconceivable outside organization. A man has always been a member of a team - family, school, college, university, office employee, etc. The person’s activity in the organization, the relationship of the individual and the group, mainly determine the development of different personality features. Individual psychological characteristics always characterize nature.

They include needs, interests, ideals and world outlook, political beliefs, person's physical and mental abilities, temperament and temper. The person's psychological features are historically conditioned. They were developed in the course of social and labor life, and, therefore, they express the person’s human essence and characterized features that have evolved in a person as a member of society; they cannot be considered a product of human biological development.

Needs

Aman, like the other creatures, also needs the specific conditions and means taken from the external environment for his existence and activity.

NEEDS are internal states experienced by a person when he feels the urgency for something. The characteristic features of requirements, as mental states, are as follows:

1)  The informative character nature of need, as a rule, related to an item which a person wants to possess, or any activity that is intended to satisfy a person (e.g., the individual work, game, etc.) In connection with this, subject and functional needs are distinguished (for example, the necessity of movement);

2)  More or less clear awareness of the inevitable need accompanied by the typical emotional state (attractiveness of the object associated with this requirement, dissatisfaction and even suffering from this need dissatisfaction, etc.);

3)  Emotional and volitional state of a motive to the need satisfaction, to the determination and realization of the ways required for this; due to this, needs are one of the most influential reasons for voluntary actions;

4)  Relieving, and sometimes the complete disappearance of these states and, in some cases, even turning them to the opposite countries (for example, the type of disgust at the view of food in satiety state) while meeting these needs;

5)  Repeated appearance, when the requirement, on which the need is based, is actualized; repeated obligations represent a vital sign: single, sporadic and no longer repeated need in something does not turn into the demand.

Human needs are varied. As a rule, they are divided into material needs, related to bodily needs (needs for food, clothes, shelter, warmth, etc.),
