Social and psychological qualities of personality

Greetings, reader! Do you often think about what is good and bad about you in order to further improve yourself? After all, we are not gods, and in each of us there are those traits that clearly do not lead to growth above ourselves and do not hinder it. Let's talk about this, and then we'll try to eradicate at least something. So, a post on the topic - good and bad qualities of a person, a list of which everyone should make a list for themselves at least once in their life. In this way we can create support for further self-development.

Why do you need to divide yourself into good and evil?

What can be corrected must be corrected, and what cannot be corrected must simply be accepted.

We are all different - some spend their whole lives delving into themselves and trying to understand what leads to growth and what contributes to personality degradation, while others live normally. I, of course, belong to the first category - of course, I uprooted a lot of things from myself, like a malicious root, but there is also that “g” that holds tightly. There are also qualities, even if they are negative, but I was able to come to terms with them and benefit from them. Which is also progress. Why is this needed at all?

A person's character consists of good and bad qualities, which together determine his personality. Negative qualities are an integral part of any individual. Some have more, some have less. Many of us strive to prioritize the positive, because then we are more respected, appreciated and want to be equal.

Why have more good things in yourself, because there are always those who, in general, are of little interest in moral principles, and everything seems to be in order with them? Such doubts in our world are understandable, because there are vivid examples of negative characters for whom everything is normal, so rotten thoughts creep into the head, but, as for me, this is what I always say - karma will shake everyone off in due time. Tested hundreds of times from personal experience. Therefore, it is better to grow above yourself or, at least, choose the lesser of two evils. What bad qualities does a person have? In the list below I have highlighted them for myself, maybe they will be useful to you too.

There are no ideal people, and therefore each personality has its own weaknesses, those qualities that were developed under the influence of the external environment, sometimes not the best, but which can be corrected if you try. Everything is possible.

What do we not need in life?

You have one life and don't waste it

Below are human weaknesses and negative traits that are better to eradicate both in your character and to exclude communication with those who have them. Or minimize it if possible. Yes, maybe someone will want to correct or even eradicate evil in another, but my advice is that all this is in vain and it is better not to waste your life’s time. Of course, if we are not talking about a child or a loved one. But again, this is just my opinion.

Bad qualities of a person - a list with some explanations:

• lack of initiative and indecision;
• irresponsibility and lack of punctuality;
• absent-mindedness and stupidity;
• lack of balance and temper;
• stubbornness;
• cunning and deceit;
• laziness;
• insincerity;
• pride and boasting;
• vanity;
• envy and hypocrisy.

Lack of initiative

A trivial example - for those who believe that if a person has not yet taken the initiative (it’s been like this for five years), then they need to do it themselves. It is difficult to live with a partner who lacks initiative. This trait is often inherent in people with low self-esteem or people who don’t give a damn, to put it mildly - in short, why bother when, after all, everything is normal. That is, the person never offers anything, you always do it. Over time, you will get the feeling that you are imposing on him, always telling him something, and he just agrees. And damn, it's true.

It is difficult for uninitiated people in relationships. You always want to receive support from your partner, sometimes it means showing yourself, protecting, and making you happy. In short, so that there is the notorious stone wall and that same shoulder on which you can, well, you understand. Therefore, if you have such a partner, then it’s better to think now whether you’re really ready to carry this suitcase without handles, which would be a shame to throw away and hard to carry. Life should not be spent in constant torment and torment, unless you are an ascetic with a high goal.

But an employer who is looking for a “good” performer will appreciate this quality. Some bosses specifically choose people who lack initiative, so that their opinion is always a priority and is not in doubt. But, if your management is of this mindset, then it is better not to work with them.

I can give advice, but again this is my opinion, and not a truism, it just helped me. I always say (by the way, I have advised my husband and other loved ones more than once) that it is necessary to analyze your boss. They come in roughly two types:

• they argue with the team, yell at those with initiative, even threaten to fire them and all that, but in their hearts they value just such a person - that is, someone who will not bend under the yoke of rank and is respected for this quality. My husband is like that - you can’t bend him, it caused a lot of problems, but it paid off for him. You can work with such leadership, even if you argue, but everyone respects each other;
• the second option is much worse. Bosses love those who lack initiative; many already understand this from their resumes. Although the person-employee (potential) does not list these bad qualities when applying for a job, it is already visible. And when someone who does not bend and has his own opinion goes against it, then, of course, a conflict results. But, attention! The boss in his heart does not appreciate a person because the employee is not silent, but, on the contrary, says - I will destroy you. Yes, others are held in high esteem for sitting quietly, but is that glory?

In a word, I do not advise either being lacking initiative or working with such people, and if a child has such a quality, then he urgently needs to be redirected in the right direction and brought to action.

Talkativeness

“We are always ready to tell the same story twice - but not to hear it twice.” William Gaslitt

If you like to talk, then choose a time and place for this. Talkativeness is not valued either in personal relationships or in a business environment. Working hours are strictly limited, and the employer wants to get results from the employee, so hold off your full story about the new couture collection until the right time. If you want to talk to a colleague about clothes, do it during your lunch break. I wrote about whining on the same topic here.

There is nothing worse if one of the partners does not close his mouth on a date. Talkativeness is not attractive, you get tired of it and it seems that the person is no longer nice. If you want to be invited to a second date after the first date, don’t chat incessantly. This is a little advice for those who still can’t find their other half - be more of a mystery, an unsolved book.

Please do not confuse this with sociability. I am mostly an introvert who resents the encroachment of my space terribly. But if I communicate, then with pleasure and I can talk a lot, but it is interesting to the interlocutor.

Hot temper

“If a woman is angry, then not only is she wrong, but she also knows it.” Erich Maria Remarque

Temperament leaves an imprint on a person's character. Choleric people are often very hot-tempered, this prevents them from making decisions with cold calculation. If you notice this quality in yourself, don’t worry, it can be corrected. Although, damn it, who am I lying to - she herself is explosive, like a volcano. But you can fight this, but I don’t know how about whether it can be completely corrected. But this is precisely the quality I decided to keep to myself. It’s like a bottle of expensive whiskey - it seems like you don’t drink strong drinks, but let’s still have this Jack Daniels.

Temper can be overcome if you learn to manage your emotions - again, probably. Yes, there is this infuriating advice from the books of self-made psychologists - if you feel like you’re about to “explode”, leave the room or office, walk along the corridor, catch your breath, or even better, yell at the corner. Another way is to mentally count to 10, this will calm you down. Yes, the devil knows how you can do all this when you stub your toe in the dark. Here, excuse me, a fist helps me more, words with a pronounced emotional coloring, since swearing is like Rafaello - instead of a thousand words.

But - that's when you need to cut out this "G" from yourself - these are children. You can't take it out on them. It is children and animals that are taboo. In relationships, again, I think it’s possible. Here I have many examples and my own - if your husband knows that you have that kind of character, then, believe me, you can avoid a lot of “G” from him. Temperament must be - tested in an 11-year marriage.

Hot temper in our list can be considered not only as a bad quality of a person, but also as a good one. A person may flare up, but then move away very quickly - you know for sure that he no longer harbors resentment. Quiet people, believe me, are worse than uninvited guests for that same introvert.

Hypocrisy

There is a strict taboo here. Hypocrites, they say one thing to your face and another behind your back. Such people are not liked in society, because their opinions change like the color of a chameleon. If there are such individuals in your environment, then it is better to stay away from them. They can praise your new image in front of you, and tell mutual friends about your bad taste behind your back - this is a banal example for those who are in the tank. It is impossible to catch hypocrites in their duplicity; they will always have an excuse, and they will get away with it - unless, of course, you are never an expert in people. And never be a hypocrite yourself - never, it’s better to face the truth to anyone.

I don’t remember where, but a long time ago I read the phrase. So I use it when they tell me something because of my “Latin” and their special opinion, which simply exists and yes, it may differ from someone else’s and I am not silent - it’s better to be a good person, but one who swears and repeats the truth in face than a quiet, well-mannered creature.

Unpunctuality

If you want, you will find time; if you don’t want, you will find a reason.

If your loved one will forgive you if you are late for a date, your business partner will not appreciate your lateness. In this world, it is customary to take care of other people’s time, because it is the same exhaustible resource as any other. Do you want to be treated with due respect? Always be on time.

Here I agree 1000%. I always came to work half an hour earlier, arrived at my destination in advance, and so on. The fact is that I am a person with colossal fear at the level of phobia of wasting time. Therefore, in my life there are no TV series, empty conversations on the phone, parties with girlfriends and endless chatter, shopping if there is no money at the moment. Just as there are no sugary novels on the bookshelf, I didn’t walk with the stroller, but put it under the apple tree and did things, studied, read, and so on. Therefore, when my life's minutes are wasted, I lose my temper. I always ask in advance before asking about trifles - please spare my PM. About important years here.

Sometimes in a relationship a woman is allowed to be unpunctuality, but this should not become a habit. And again, a banality for a simple explanation - a man on a first date will enthusiastically wait for his lady to appear and may not even attach any importance to her being late. But the husband will not appreciate the constant inhibition and will be very angry if, through the woman’s fault, they are constantly late. After all, his life time is as priceless as yours - and you should always remember this truth.

Of course, you can analyze each item like this, but I think you understand that if you take any of the worst qualities of a person on the list, or not very bad ones, and analyze them, you can build a large chain of logical connections. You need to work through everything - leave something, for example, I realized that my temper, stubbornness, “Latin” do not appeal to my strong qualities, I left them alone and it was so easy right away. There are, of course, things that still need to be worked out, for example, I have a bad quality - to do everything very well for others, but for myself - as long as there is enough time. This is not possible - either there and there, or you need to leave one.

Personal qualities of a person: what they are, basic psychological and personal

External surroundings matter only in the first stages of acquaintance.
Then a person is evaluated according to his inner content. If it does not harmonize with a beautiful “sign”, people quickly lose interest in such an individual. To be desirable in any environment, you need to develop personality traits. Personality qualities

What is this in psychology

The inner world of people includes character traits, acquired knowledge and skills. In psychology, human personality traits mean positive characteristics and properties.

Each person is an individual, distinguished by character traits, interests and needs, and the ability to set life priorities. This influences social relations and helps (or prevents) people from achieving specific goals.

To become a personality, a person goes through a difficult path of formation. The qualities of people are influenced by regulatory mechanisms:

• external – needs, interests, directions;
• internal – self-esteem, consciousness, respect, etc.

Note! Psychological qualities (character, temperament, state of mind) are important in a person. They guide the individual, make him capable (or incapable) of interacting with others, of performing a certain type of activity.

Personal qualities

Everyone comes into this world with zero knowledge and abilities, but with the makings of a temperament determined by the state of the nervous system and physiological characteristics. The further formation of a person’s personal qualities is influenced by the following aspects:

• the conditions in which the child grows up;
• educational measures taken towards him;
• relationships outside the family;
• even illnesses suffered in childhood.

Under the influence of these factors, some become phlegmatic and melancholic, while others become choleric and sanguine. Someone strives for communication, making plans for life and achieving goals. Others isolate themselves from the world and become fixated on satisfying personal needs.

Classification of personality traits

The characteristics of people are assessed according to 2 parameters: internal and external. To consider the first ones, you need to talk with the person for some time. The second qualities are nothing more than a “signboard”; they do not always convey true information.

Inner world

Volitional personality traits - what is it in psychology, their formation

It can be rich in content or primitive. In the first case, people will be drawn to the person, assessing his personal qualities. In the second option, there is unlikely to be a desire to develop relationships. To become in demand in any environment, an individual must:

• look at the world positively;
• be able to think freely;
• do not depend on other people’s opinions (be yourself);
• take care of others;
• easy to make contact;
• realistically assess the situation.

Note! A person needs to develop his inner world, constantly absorbing new knowledge and applying it in practice. It is more interesting to communicate with a versatile, friendly personality.

External surroundings

People are greeted not only by their clothes, but also by their ability to present themselves. A beautiful sign is formed from the created image and behavior of a person. They work on the surroundings:

• attractive appearance;
• ability to choose a clothing style;

Image works for success

• beautiful body language;
• artistry;
• ability to conduct dialogue.

You can have a beautiful sign and at the same time have negative internal properties. Such disharmony cannot lead to real success.

Volitional personality traits

Personality orientation - what is it in psychology, its types

In the process of life, a person gains certain experience. Depending on what processes you had to go through, your character is formed. Overcoming obstacles helps to realize the will of the individual.

Basic volitional qualities

CharacteristicsFeatures

On the way to the goal

The described basic qualities are interconnected and complement each other. Will is a conscious, acquired personality trait that is developed in the process of setting a goal, the ability to move towards it, overcoming obstacles, and the ability to take responsibility for one’s own actions.

Social and psychological qualities of personality

Personality development - what is it in psychology

The properties and qualities of personality in social and psychological terms in social science do not have a single clear definition. In the scientific works of psychologists there are several different opinions on this topic. Here are the main ones:

1. If we interpret the term “personality” as a synonym for the word “person,” then qualities mean characteristics. If personality is a component of qualities, then human traits are determined by social properties.
2. Sometimes the concept of “socio-psychological traits” includes the opposition of basic and secondary properties (from the perspective of differences between personal and general psychological).
3. The structure of an individual is perceived as a set of traits and properties. Or, on the contrary, as a specific system consisting not of qualities, but of other elements.

Based on this list, it is clear that it is difficult to unambiguously determine the socio-psychological properties of a person. Because, firstly, there is no specific list of such qualities and criteria for identifying them. Secondly, there are contradictions in the relationship between abilities and properties. All these aspects require close attention. Their essence will be studied by sociologists and psychologists for a long time.

Professional personality traits

It is not enough to gain certain knowledge in a particular professional activity. To achieve success in the chosen field, a person must have specific qualities. Regardless of the significance of the profession, a person’s abilities are classified into several categories:

• verbality – language proficiency, determination of the significance of concepts and words;
• numerical ability - the ability to accurately and quickly perform standard arithmetic operations;
• the ability to correct numbers, letters, words;
• have an idea of ​​objects in 2-3 dimensions;
• ability to detail objects and graphic images;
• motor coordination - control of the movements of the eyes, legs and arms; the ability to coordinate them with certain signals;
• dexterity - the ability to manipulate small objects;
• perception of color shades, the ability to distinguish and compare them;
• general intelligence is the ability to learn, which consists of understanding and accepting the material being studied, the ability to reason and draw correct conclusions.

Human abilities

Based on the described properties, a list of psychological qualities necessary for specific professional activities is compiled. To become successful in business, other individual characteristics are also necessary. They are called social temperament and influence an individual’s confidence in certain operating conditions.

Types of individual psychological professional qualities:

1. Typological properties, including lability of the nervous system, dynamism, mobility, strength.
2. Perceptual and sensory properties, the level of which develops with the acquisition of skills.
3. Individual attention, including elements such as switching, distribution, stability.
4. Psychomotor skills, based on the development of certain operating systems necessary in solving professional problems.
5. Mnemonics is the ability to remember material, techniques and the ability to develop professional memory.

Note! In any activity you need to be able to think and have imagination; strong-willed qualities are especially important. Without them, it will not be possible to overcome difficulties in the work process.

Moral properties of personality

At the genetic level, moral programs inherent in distant ancestors are laid in a person. These properties are adjusted by life under the influence of such factors:

• family education;
• the influence of the school and the yard company;
• social and personal relations;
• life experience.

Each aspect is subject to certain rules of moral behavior. They form the individual’s attitude towards himself and other people. Based on what values ​​were embedded in the inner world, moral qualities are divided into categories: humanistic, nationalistic, racial, religious-fanatical.

Morality is established in childhood

Only the first category refers to positive characteristics. It is based on respect for all people, regardless of their religion, nationality and race.

How can a person develop personality traits?

Personality formation begins from the first years of life. Subsequently, the quality can only be adjusted. Work should be carried out in several directions: from establishing body language to developing individual abilities that are a priority in the chosen profession.

Without an active life position, way of existence, direction of actions, control of emotions and desires, it is impossible to achieve the desired level of development. The formation of positive personality traits should be based on the development of intelligence and increasing the level of culture.

We need to start with self-analysis

There are several methods, the first step is always the same - analyzing your own state. It helps you decide on the qualities that should be developed. An adequate assessment of personal significance will help set a goal, decide on a role model and develop ways to achieve results.

You can’t do this without self-discipline and self-confidence. Forming yourself as an individual is a long process, but it is worth putting in the effort.

A little final advice

It's simple

Do you want to make yourself better? Take a sheet of paper and divide it into 2 columns. Write down your positive character traits in the first, and negative ones in the other. Which ones turned out to be more? Are there qualities on this list that definitely prevent you from living a better life? Think about how you can replace bad qualities, what needs to be done for this. On the same sheet of paper, scribble down explanations for yourself and write how you will improve. This really helps.

I started this year by setting a number of goals, but January passed and I was disappointed and said that I hadn’t done anything well. But then I decided to take a notebook and remember the good and the bad - it turned out that I had something to be proud of. Without this banal leaf, I had a stone in my soul, and then it flew off into the distance, like a cuckoo for many. (Again I'm with my piano). So, I’ll summarize my post on the topic of human qualities and character, good and bad, the list that was described above, and in general.

There are negative qualities in every person, you can come to terms with them and continue to live with them, or you can get rid of them in yourself. Often they interfere with building harmonious relationships in society and moving up the career ladder, but again there are exceptions.

If you want to achieve high results in life, then positive character traits should prevail in your personality - respect for the time of others, help, virtue, the opportunity to learn, responsiveness, truthfulness and honesty, stability in your actions towards people, generosity, love for children , and not only to our own people, and to animals.

Qualities that characterize a person’s personality

By studying the character traits of a particular person, it is possible to identify what qualities characterize the personality. Their manifestation is based on the influence of individual experience, knowledge, abilities and capabilities of people. The list of biological characteristics includes the innate characteristics of a person. Other personality qualities are acquired as a result of life activity:

It means irreducibility to individual, biological characteristics of people, saturation with socio-cultural content.

The uniqueness and originality of the inner world of an individual, his independence and impossibility of being attributed to one or another social or psychological type.

Willingness to go beyond one’s “limits”, constant self-improvement as a way of being, belief in the possibility of development and overcoming external and internal obstacles on the way to one’s goal and, as a consequence, incompleteness, inconsistency and problematic nature.

• Integrity and subjectivity

Internal unity and identity (equality with oneself) in any life situations.

• Activity and subjectivity

The ability to change oneself and the conditions of one’s existence, independence from environmental conditions, the ability to be the source of one’s own activity, the cause of actions and recognition of responsibility for the deeds committed.

The basis of interaction with the outside world, the willingness to treat other people as the highest value, equal to one’s own, and not as a means of achieving goals.

List of qualities

Personality structure includes temperament, volitional qualities, abilities, character, emotions, social attitudes and motivation. And also separately the following qualities:

• Independence;
• Intellectual self-improvement;
• Communication skills;
• Kindness;
• Hard work;
• Honesty;
• Determination;
• Responsibility;
• Respect;
• Confidence;
• Discipline;
• Humanity;
• Mercy;
• Curiosity;
• Objectivity.

A person’s personal qualities consist of internal perception and external manifestations. External manifestation includes a list of indicators:

• innate or acquired artistry;
• attractive appearance and sense of style;
• oratory skills and clear pronunciation of speech;
• a competent and sophisticated approach to non-verbal communication.

The main qualities of a person (her inner world) can be classified according to a number of characteristics:

• a comprehensive assessment of the situation and the absence of conflicting perceptions of information;
• an inherent love for people;
• open-minded thinking;
• positive form of perception;
• wise judgment.

The level of these indicators determines the individual characteristics of the individual being studied.

Structure of individual qualities

To more accurately determine the quality of a person’s personality, one should highlight its biological structure. It consists of 4 levels:

1. Temperament, which includes characteristics of genetic predisposition (nervous system).
2. The degree of unique mental processes that allows one to determine a person's personal qualities. The level of individual perception, imagination, manifestation of volitional signs, feelings and attention influences the achievement of results.
3. The experiences of people, characterized by knowledge, abilities, capabilities and habits.
4. Indicators of social orientation, including the subject’s attitude to the external environment. The development of personal qualities acts as a guiding and regulating factor of behavior - interests and views, beliefs and attitudes (state of consciousness based on previous experience, regulating the attitude and behavior of people), moral norms.

The above categories are closely related to the needs and character, abilities and egocentrism of people. The set of general indicators influences the creation of an individual personality shell.

Traits of people that characterize their temperament

The innate qualities of a person shape him as a social being. Behavioral factors, type of activity and social circle are taken into account. The category is divided into 4 concepts: sanguine, melancholic, choleric and phlegmatic.

• A sanguine person is a strong and balanced person who easily adapts to a new environment and overcomes obstacles. Sociability, responsiveness, openness, cheerfulness and leadership are the main personality traits.
• A melancholic person is a weak and sedentary person. Under the influence of strong stimuli, behavioral disturbances occur, manifested by a passive attitude towards any activity. Isolation, pessimism, anxiety, tendency to reason and resentment are characteristic features of melancholic people.
• Cholerics are strong, unbalanced, energetic personality traits. They are quick-tempered and unrestrained. Touchiness, impulsiveness, emotionality and instability are clear indicators of a restless temperament.
• A phlegmatic person is a balanced, inert and slow person, not prone to change. Personal indicators show how to easily overcome negative factors. Reliability, goodwill, peacefulness and prudence are the hallmarks of calm people.

Individual character traits

Character is a set of individual traits that manifest themselves in different types of activity, communication and relationships with people. The development of personal qualities is formed against the background of life processes and the type of activity of people. To more accurately assess the character of people, behavioral factors in specific circumstances should be studied in detail.

Types of character:

• cycloid – mood swings;
• hyperthymic accentuation consists of high activity and failure to complete tasks;
• asthenic – capricious and depressive personal qualities;
• sensitive – timid personality;
• hysterical - the makings of leadership and vanity;
• dysthymic – focused on the negative side of current events.

Individual abilities of people

Individual psychological qualities of a person contribute to the achievement of success and excellence in a certain activity. They are determined by the social and historical practice of the individual, the results of the interactions of biological and mental indicators.

There are different levels of ability:

1. giftedness;
2. talent;
3. genius.

The development of the algorithm of personal qualities and abilities of people is characterized by the ability to learn new things in the mental sphere. Special features are manifested in a specific type of activity (musical, artistic, pedagogical, etc.).

Strong-willed traits of people

Adjusting behavioral factors associated with overcoming internal and external discomfort makes it possible to determine personal qualities: the level of effort and plans for taking actions, concentration in a given direction. Will manifests itself in the following properties:

• willpower - the level of effort to achieve the desired result;
• perseverance – the ability to mobilize to overcome troubles;
• endurance - the ability to limit feelings, thinking and actions.

Courage, self-control, commitment are the personal qualities of strong-willed people. They are classified into simple and complex acts. In a simple case, incentives to action flow into execution automatically. Complex acts are carried out on the basis of motivation, drawing up a plan and taking into account the consequences.

Human feelings

People's persistent attitudes towards real or imaginary objects arise and are formed on the basis of the cultural and historical level. Only the ways of their manifestation change, based on historical eras. People's feelings are individual.

Personal motivation

Motives and incentives that contribute to the activation of actions are formed from the needs of people. Stimulating personality traits can be conscious or unconscious.

They appear as:

• desire for success;
• avoiding trouble;
• gaining power, etc.
