A person is a person or an individual: is everyone a person? What is Personality? The concept of personality in practical psychology Who is called a personality brief

"personality" in Everyday life? How often do you use it? After all, in fact, this word constantly comes up in our conversations. How easily people judge a person by saying that he " interesting person"or "outstanding personality."

Can every person be called a person?

But is this word as simple as we understand it, and can each person be called a person, are people immediately born as such?

These questions are still relevant to society, and many are trying to understand the full meaning of this concept.

How much here is tied to psychology and how little reality and real understanding of man there is.

This deep philosophical topic has been exciting the minds of people for many hundreds of years, but no one has been able to fully reveal it.

For example, the existence of several personalities in one body is a phenomenon that remains one of the most incomprehensible mysteries to this day.

So who is this person and is every person one? This is what we will try to figure out.

Personality can be called your inner self, which distinguishes you from other people by special individual qualities, character, aspirations, and so on.

This term does not include aspects of physiology or genetics. Everything is much deeper. The concept of personality includes the psychological qualities of a person, social characteristics, reflecting human nature and helping a person express himself as the author of life.

Individual, individuality and personality: who are all these people?

The concept of personality can be described by three definitions:

  1. Personality refers to the individuality of a person. It is expressed in values, life experiences, aspirations, temperament and spiritual development. We can say that animals are also distinguished by their individuality, since they have a character and their own individual characteristics, but an animal will never be called a personality, since it focuses exclusively on its instincts.
  2. Personality, as a subject of society/society, having a certain social. In other words, an individual. This definition was first introduced by Adler. It begins with a social sense, since in society a person interacts with others based on a sense of community. That is, a person’s behavior determines his ability to interact with society.
  3. The concept of personality as a subject of culture. A person cannot be born as a person; he becomes one throughout his life, shaping himself in terms of cultural, spiritual development, etc.

Who is this person

Are people born with a personality right away? Not at all.

Many millennia have already passed since the appearance of man, and during all this no species has been found that would be more intelligent than the human race.

Homo sapiens or homo sapiens - we belong to this species.

A person becomes a person as soon as he begins to interact with other people.

But to come to this, understand the difference between animals and humans and highlight those basic distinctive features it wasn't that easy.

In many theories, the main difference between Homo sapiens and animals is culture, which influences decision-making and determines actions.

The term “man” combines several principles: biological and social.

This led to the introduction of new scientific terms, which reflect individual concepts related to the term “person”: personality, individual and individuality. It is on them that the emphasis is placed in a detailed study of a person.

In real life, the fate of “Mowgli” is much sadder than in cartoons

Let's look at them in more detail:

  • An individual is a single representative of the human race. It is characterized by certain biological, physiological characteristics and mental properties, the implementation of which is characterized by flexibility or activity of thinking in relation to what is happening around it. “Individual” and “individuality” are concepts similar in sound and spelling, but their meanings differ from each other;
  • individuality is a person's personality that distinguishes him from others, mainly of a social and biological nature. It should be borne in mind that every person is an individual from the moment of birth, but individuality can only be formed during your life journey. Individuality can also be called a “zest”, something that makes you different from everyone else;
  • relationships with society and the commonality of social properties form the personality. It is a product of the individual's involvement in social relationships at all levels of life. During this interaction, learning occurs social functions and development of consciousness. Aristotle also said that “man is a social animal.” This expression means the fact that without the interaction of people with each other, without social relationships, the full formation of the inner self, that is, personality, is impossible.

So, personality formation occurs when a person begins to interact with society. Only in society can a person be an individual, where he can express himself and develop himself.

People isolated from society become feral or, as they are otherwise called, “Mowgli”. This phenomenon was named after Kipling's novel.

Its essence is that such people are not particularly different from animals: they do not know how to clearly express their thoughts and desires through speech, think abstractly, they are afraid to come into contact with other people, they lack awareness of their actions.

Unfortunately, it is often impossible to return feral people to normal life. Because of this, they die early, unable to adapt to the social environment.

A person’s personality is formed when he passes through such social levels of life as kindergarten, school, college and so on. At each stage of life, a person develops a certain view of the world, his character is strengthened and his individuality is formed.

It is social development that makes a person out of an individual

Today, the concept of personality is of greater interest among philosophers, historians, and aesthetes.

Many people mistakenly believe that a person can be considered a real person if he has achieved a lot in life, was able to overcome himself, and achieve success in work and self-development.

But in fact, even a small child raised in a family, surrounded by attention and care, can also be considered a person.

There is a certain contradiction here due to the fact that people are not born with a personality, but a small child can be considered as such. Why?

Because here his interaction with society begins, which at first will be his family. Social development makes us not just individuals, but individuals.

It is not enough to take actions, the main thing is to do it thoughtfully and consciously. This is one of the main qualities that characterizes a person.

The ability to independently make informed decisions distinguishes a person from even the most intelligent animal, since, no matter how intelligent he is, he will never be called a person. Because, when performing some actions, the animal will still be guided not by reason, but by instincts.

Development of the inner self

The model of human behavior mainly depends on certain society, the so-called canons. Often what characterizes him is actually an imprint of those very requirements for behavior.

The main driving force of personal development can be called the internal confrontation between needs, which are constantly growing, and the possibility of satisfying them.

You can understand how developed a personality is by its attitude towards various situations, problems, other people, and so on.

Basically, narrow-minded people are guided by commercialism in their views. Developed individuals, on the contrary, place emphasis on self-improvement and self-awareness.

Each individual life path is difficult in its own way and everyone copes in their own way with the problems that often arise on the horizon. And how successfully a person does this, what lessons he learns from the situations that have occurred, shows not only the level of his mental development, but also his personal one.

The desire for constant development and learning distinguishes a person from an individual.

There are also individuals whom society tries to avoid

There are separate personality types:

  • a socialized person is one who has managed to adapt to social life;
  • a desocialized personality is one that contradicts the requirements of society. This includes marginalized individuals who are not accepted by society;
  • a mentally abnormal personality is one who may have developmental delays and be a psychopath.

As for the latter, society tries by any means to limit contact with such people.

Now, having an idea of ​​who a person is, we can talk about such a phenomenon as splitting or split personality.

Two in one: this happens to people too

Each person is individual, each considers himself an individual, this is part of our life.

But have you ever thought that there are people in the world whose personalities are fragmented?

There is a mental disorder of dual personality that is very interesting to many scientists.

One person can simultaneously live from two or more personalities, each with their own character, temperament, memories and habits. Individuals can also differ in race, gender, and age.

They can speak different languages, although a person might never know a foreign language at all, and so on.

For example, one of the personalities may have diabetes, but when switching to another person, the person will be completely healthy.

Scientists suggest that such an unusual disorder occurs due to severe psychological trauma, from which the brain tries to protect itself in this way, which once again proves its limitless capabilities.

Not fully studied, this phenomenon of split personality is familiar to many from cinema and fiction. Currently, this disorder is officially recognized as a mental illness, which is extremely difficult to cure.

So, we have found out that every person interacting with society is a person, but whether he will be a full-fledged person depends on his ability and desire to develop himself.

In this video you will learn what consciousness and personality are:

Personality in psychology they call a person as a carrier of consciousness. It is believed that a person is not born, but becomes in the process of being and working, when, communicating and interacting, a person compares himself with others and distinguishes his “I”. Psychological properties (traits) of a person are fully and vividly revealed in activities, communication, relationships, and even in a person’s appearance.

Personalities can be different - harmoniously developed and reactionary, progressive and one-sided, highly moral and vile, but at the same time, each personality is unique. Sometimes this property - uniqueness - is called individuality, as a manifestation of the individual.

However, the concepts of individual, personality and individuality are not identical in content: each of them reveals a specific aspect of a person’s individual existence. Personality can only be understood in a system of stable interpersonal connections mediated by the content, values, and meaning of the joint activities of each participant.

Interpersonal connections that form a personality in a team externally appear in the form of communication or a subject-subject relationship along with a subject-object relationship characteristic of objective activity.

The personality of each person is endowed only with its own inherent combination of traits and characteristics that form its individuality - a combination of psychological characteristics of a person that make up his originality, his difference from other people. Individuality is manifested in character traits, temperament, habits, prevailing interests, in the qualities of cognitive processes, in abilities, and individual style of activity.

Lifestyle as a socio-philosophical concept selects from the variety of qualities and properties inherent in a given person, only socially stable, socially typical, characterizing the social content of her individuality, revealing a person, his style of behavior, needs, preferences, interests, tastes not from his psychological characteristics that distinguish him from other people, but from those properties and traits of his personality that are given by the very fact of his existence in a certain society. But if individuality does not mean a peculiarity of a person’s external appearance or behavior, but a unique form of existence and unique manifestation of the general in the life of an individual, then the individual is also social. Therefore, a person’s way of life acts as a deeply individualized relationship between a person’s objective position in society and his inner world, that is, it represents a unique unity of the socially typified (unified) and the individual (unique) in the behavior, communication, thinking and everyday life of people.

In other words, a person’s worldview acquires social, practical and morally meaningful significance insofar as it has become a person’s way of life.

From a moral point of view, a sign of a person’s personal development is his ability to act according to inner conviction in the most difficult everyday situations, not to shift responsibility to others, not to rely blindly on circumstances, and not even just to “reckon” with circumstances, but also to resist them, to intervene in the course of life. events, showing your will, your character.

The importance and role of the team in the formation and education of the individual is great. The rule of education formulated by the wonderful Soviet teacher A.S. Makarenko: proceed from the recognition of the person being brought up. And this must be done with all seriousness, without denying to those being educated the possibility of them accomplishing those feats that the teacher speaks of as lofty images of achieving exceptional results in the field of production, science and technology, literature and art.

May not all dreams come true and not all plans come true. Let not all the young people with whom the teacher deals turn out to be sufficiently gifted or be able to fully reveal their abilities. This is about something else. All of them will certainly be ennobled by being treated as highest value, unique individuals who, with proper development, can show the world all the achievements of the creative spirit accessible to man. In the worst case, a creative personality may not turn out, but a person will be formed who, at a minimum, will not prevent others from becoming creative personalities.

You cannot become a person by copying anyone else. Only wretched one-sidedness can result. The construction of one's own personality cannot be carried out according to some standard project. At most, you can only get general settings here. We must always count on the maximum realization of human capabilities, never saying in advance: “I won’t be able to do this,” and test your inclinations to the fullest.

That's why development human - the process of personality formation under the influence of external and internal, controlled and uncontrollable social and natural factors. Development manifests itself as progressive complication, deepening, expansion, as a transition from simple to complex, from ignorance to knowledge, from lower forms of life and activity to higher ones.

Nature has given man a lot, but has given birth to the weak. To make him strong and completely independent, we still need to work hard. First of all, provide physical development. In turn, physical and physiological development underlies psychological development as spiritual development. The processes of a person’s reflection of reality are constantly becoming more complex and deepening: sensations, perceptions, memory, thinking, feelings, imagination, as well as more complex mental formations: needs, motives for activity, abilities, interests, value orientations. Human social development is a continuation mental development. It consists of gradual entry into his society - into social, ideological, economic, industrial, legal, professional and other relations, in the assimilation of his functions in these relations. Having mastered these relationships and his functions in them, a person becomes a member of society. The crowning achievement is the spiritual development of man. It means his understanding of his high purpose in life, the emergence of responsibility to present and future generations, understanding of the complex nature of the universe and the desire for constant moral improvement. A measure of spiritual development can be the degree of responsibility of a person for his physical, physiological, mental and social development. Spiritual development is increasingly recognized as the core, the core of the formation of personality in a person.

Humanity ensures the development of each of its representatives through education, passing on the experience of its own and previous generations.

Upbringing - in a broad sense, it is a purposeful process of forming the intellect, physical and spiritual strength of the individual, preparing him for life, active participation in work. Raising in in the narrow sense words are the systematic and purposeful influence of the educator on the pupils in order to form in them the desired attitude towards people and phenomena of the world around them.

Parents pass on the experience of vertical walking to the newborn, verbal communication, younger schoolchildren - experience of mathematical transformations, written communication, teenagers and young men - experience of various activities, etc. Throughout his life, a person assimilates some experience and someone else’s and only on its basis creates his own. Only by becoming the heir of the past does he become a full-fledged member of his society. In this sense, education is a culturally formative process. In the process of educating a person, his development occurs, the level of which then influences education, changes, deepens it. More perfect upbringing accelerates the pace of development, which then again influences upbringing. Throughout a person’s life, these phenomena mutually support each other.

K. Marx and F. Engels paid great attention to the problems of upbringing and education of youth. They approached them from different, but closely related sides - social, ideological, pedagogical, etc., assessing the role of education as the highest measure - the influence on the development of the individual, on the course of social progress.

They considered education as one of the most important means.

Taken together, the thoughts of Marx and Engels on education form an integral dialectical-materialist concept, which is based on the following provisions: education is determined by prevailing social relations; is historical and class in nature; has its own objective laws.

By education we mean three things:

Firstly: mental education.

Secondly: physical education.

Third: technical training.

Marx and Engels paid great attention to ideological education, introducing young people to the history and traditions of the revolutionary struggle.

By mental (intellectual) education, the founders of Marxism understood “mental education”, which the younger generation should receive, first of all, at school. Marx and Engels called on young people to persistent, systematic study, to constant self-education, which is urgently dictated by life.

Marx and Engels called the combination of education with productive labor a necessary condition for the technical education of the younger generation.

In the system of youth education, the founders of Marxism assigned an important place to physical education. Big role Engels also saw these activities in preparing young men for military service.

Whatever “components” of education the founders of Marxism spoke about, their thought was one way or another aimed at the most important problem - the comprehensive development of the individual. Each of these must ultimately serve to form it. components, and the whole process of education as a whole.

It is possible to convey experience, and therefore educate, through means mass media, in museums through art, through religion, in the management system through politics, ideology, directly in the family, in production through industrial relations, etc. Among them, education stands out.

Education - the process and result of mastering a certain system of knowledge and ensuring on this basis the appropriate level of personal development. Education is received mainly in the process of training and education in educational institutions under the guidance of teachers. Education in the literal sense means the creation of an image, a certain completion of education in accordance with a certain age level. Therefore, education is often interpreted as the result of a person’s assimilation of the experience of generations in the form of a system of knowledge, skills and abilities, and relationships. Then they talk about an educated person. Education is the quality of a developed personality who has acquired experience, with the help of which he becomes able to navigate the environment, adapt to it, protect and enrich it, acquire new knowledge about it and through this continuously improve himself, i.e. again, improve your education.

A person is born without knowledge and skills, but through upbringing and education he receives all this in accordance with his age. At each age stage, development receives its own degree of formation without exhausting itself. This is how ideals, motives for actions, relationships and other human properties are gradually formed.

But the person himself is active from birth. Its role in upbringing and education is enormous, if not decisive. The fact is that a person is born with the ability to develop. He is not a vessel into which the experience of humanity is “merged.” He himself is capable of acquiring this experience. Man himself created the external factors of his development.

The main factors of a person are self-education, self-education, self-training.

Self-education - this is the process of a person’s assimilation of the experience of previous generations through internal mental factors that ensure development. Self-education is a process that is part of education and is also aimed at human development. Thanks to him, a person in any educational system preserves himself as an independent natural and social being, despite all integration, i.e. its unity with nature and society.

Education, if it is not violence, is not possible without self-education. They should be considered as two sides of the same process, or as processes that mutually continue each other.

By self-education, a person can educate himself.

Self-education is a system of internal self-organization for assimilating the experience of generations, aimed at its own development.

Self-education is a powerful factor that fulfills and enriches the education organized by society.

Self-learning is an analogue of teaching.

Self-study - this is the process of a person directly gaining generational experience through his own aspirations and self-chosen means.

Here a huge role is played by the inner spiritual world of a person, not only consciousness, but also the unconscious factor, intuition, the ability to learn not only from a teacher, but also from other people, friends, and nature. People say about such self-education: “learn from life.” Self-learning is based on the need for knowledge, on the innate cognitive instinct.

The founders of Marxism deeply revealed such a complex problem as “man and circumstances.”

The character of each person is always composed of two elements: natural, rooted in the human body, and spiritual, developed in life, under the influence of upbringing and circumstances. But no matter how diverse the human types are among educated peoples, due to the infinite variety of tribal, family and personal types, nature always manages to highlight the nationality trait in the countless number of characteristic features in a person’s appearance.

The trait of nationality is not only noticeable in itself, but is mixed with all other characteristic features of a person and gives each of them its own special shade.

Public education, which strengthens and develops the nationality in a person, while developing at the same time his mind and his self-awareness, powerfully contributes to the development of national self-awareness in general.

If a person draws all his knowledge, sensations, etc. from the sensory world and experience received from this world, but it is therefore necessary to arrange it this way the world, so that a person in it recognizes and assimilates what is truly human, so that he recognizes himself as a person. If a person’s character is created by circumstances, then it is necessary, therefore, to make the circumstances humane.

Teacher K.D. Ushinsky was deeply convinced that the education of a free, independent and active human personality is a necessary condition for social development.

CONCLUSION

A child will become a personality - a social unit, a subject, a carrier of social and human activity - only where and when he himself begins to perform this activity. At first, with the help of an adult, and then without it.

Personality arises when an individual begins independently, as a subject, to carry out external activities according to the norms and standards given to him from the outside - by the culture in whose bosom he awakens to human life, to human activity. As long as human activity is directed towards him, and he remains its object, the individuality, which he, of course, already possesses, is not yet human individuality.

Therefore, personality exists only where there is freedom. Freedom is real, not imaginary, freedom of real development of a person in real affairs, in relationships with other people, and not in conceit, not in the pleasure of feeling one’s imaginary uniqueness.

Do you want a person to become an individual? Then place him from the very beginning - from childhood - in such a relationship with another person, within which he not only could, but was forced to become an individual.

Question - - not simple, both for philosophers and psychologists, and for all other people. There are a lot of definitions and explanations of the concept of Personality, but, unfortunately, most of them are so complicated that you won’t understand the essence. You just need to type this question into a search engine and read the answers on the first ten sites. Our task is to give simple definitions and explanations of the concept of Personality in such a way that it is clear to absolutely every person - what a Personality is, who is a Personality and who is not, and why.

Most people prefer to think that if you are a human, or rather, if you have a human body and can speak humanly, then this automatically means that you are a Person. This is wrong! But, you still need to become a person, to form yourself as a Personality, as a worthy and strong person.

Because everyone around you can see very different people who are not full-fledged individuals, people who cannot be called worthy and strong. Many, those who are slaves to their fears, instincts, desires and vices, relate more to animals in the human body than to worthy people. About the same can be said about fallen people - alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals, various kinds of perverts. They, of course, may also have some advantages and personal qualities, but their shortcomings, vices and evil deeds completely cancel out the good that is in them. Also, it is difficult to call a Person a weak person, who in life is like a log adrift, does not strive for anything, has not achieved anything, has not formed anything worthy in himself, has not left anything significant behind him for this world and his ancestors. What he lived, what he didn’t live. So decide for yourself whether such people are worthy to be called Personalities or not?

So what is Personality? Personality Definition

I will give, I hope, definitions and descriptions of Personality that are clear to everyone:

Personality- is strong and worthy person, able to set and achieve goals.

Strong man– one who is able to change himself for the better: eliminate your shortcomings(weaknesses, vices, bad habits, negativity) and develop the necessary virtues(beliefs, personal qualities, talents, abilities).

Worthy man- one who builds himself and his life in accordance with moral principles () and a certain code of Honor (based on an understanding of what is worthy and what is not worthy).

Set and achieve Goals– : service to society, work, development, family, friends, decent lifestyle, recreation, others.

Personality Formation– development training (how to change yourself for the better and eliminate problems), how to set and achieve goals (to be successful in life and happy in your soul): build great relationships, make a career, organize your life, raise children, be a mentor for others, relax and many more etc. In a word, personality formation is training, how to live with dignity, and not exist miserably!

Of course, Personality and Personality development is very difficult to understand, and even more so to implement all of the above in your own life. Starting with an understanding of Personality Structure (what parts a personality consists of). But without this understanding, without the appropriate knowledge, it will be very difficult for a person to achieve anything significant in this life, to become worthy, successful and happy.

So evaluate for yourself - are you already a realized person or are you just at the beginning of your journey, and have not even begun to form yourself as a person, as a strong, worthy, successful and useful person for this world!

From birth, every person has a specific set of genes that distinguishes its owner from the mass of other people. But they constitute only certain development possibilities. In the process of living in society, in interaction with other people, specific human characteristics are formed: character, motivational sphere, individual qualities.

These traits help you realize your potential and achieve your life goals. The complex ambiguous structure of a human being can be reflected in the person-individual-personality system, where the path to the socialization of an individual is possible only after the formation of his personality. Highest level individual development is the self-realization of all potential capabilities, which is available only with a formed individuality.

“Me personally!”

Personality is the definition of a complex psychological formation, a special property that arises at a certain stage of human development. One is not born a personality, one is born an individual. For a more accurate ratio in human nature concepts individual, personality, individuality, their exact definition should be considered. The correct correlation of these concepts will form a holistic view of the structure of the concepts individual-individuality-personality-.

A person is a concept that includes the relationship of all the characteristics characteristic of people, regardless of whether a particular person has them or not.

Individual is a word of Latin origin (“individuum”), which means “indivisible.” This is a separate independent organism, a biological being, a representative of the human community. An individual is a person as a single human being, a representative of the species Homo sapiens, a product of the unity of innate and acquired, a bearer of individually unique natural properties. The concept of “individual” outlines the natural bodily existence of a person.

An individual is, first of all, a bearer of biological properties, and a “personality” is a bearer of socio-psychological ones. An individual can be considered a newborn child and an adult, a representative of a wild tribe and a person from a civilized country. When a person is born, he finds a formed system public relations. His life in society creates such an interweaving of relationships that forms a person similar to other people. But at the same time, he is different: he thinks, acts, suffers in his own way.

The concept of “personality” is one of the most controversial and difficult to define in modern psychology. This concept is a kind of key to psychology and the resolution of its most significant problems. A single generally accepted definition of this concept still does not exist. English word"personality" comes from the Latin "persona", meaning "mask". This word denoted the mask that ancient theater actors wore during theatrical performances. From the very beginning, the concept was associated with the external social image that a person assumes when performing life roles. However, it is clear that the meaning of personality is much more complex and elusive than the external social image. To understand its fullness, it is important to highlight the following points:

  • This is a deep essential characteristic of a person. Personality contains properties that distinguish one person from another: special, most striking and noticeable psychological traits. This inner strength, which operates, unites all reactions, all possible options for individual behavior.
  • This is an entity that denotes stable forms of behavior. Personality properties are very persistent, consistently manifested in different situations, statements, in relation to others and in the internal attitude towards oneself. At the same time, it is a psychological entity on which new and unique forms of behavior also depend.
  • It is the result of development and depends on biological heredity and social conditions. The history of the individual is the personality. It is formed through interaction with the social environment through communication and general activity.
  • This is persistent psychological structure, a set of traits that dictate a certain logic of behavior. This structure constitutes the core of a person's personality.

Personality is characterized by special psychological formations, the relationship of which gives a person the opportunity to perform actions on the basis of free, independent and responsible choice, to defend his position, and create a special level and structure of personality. Psychological formations of personality include:

  • inner world;
  • character;
  • capabilities;
  • personal values;
  • morality;
  • personal choice;
  • independence;
  • responsibility;
  • goals and prospects;
  • personal way of acting.

When a personality is born, or “I myself!”

The transformation of an individual into a personality occurs in the early preschool age, when the relationship between objective and sensory-practical actions is formed.

This process forms the image of “I” and causes “spiritualization” of the child’s entire life activity. A manifestation of this process in the child’s behavior is the desire for complete independence, when parents increasingly hear from the child “I myself!”

In the development of a child, this means his gradual liberation from adults, the development of subjectivity. Most psychologists agree that this very moment is the birth of a personality, its true essence, a holistic “I” with its own worldview.

Can every person be called a person?

Most psychologists believe that every person can be called a personality, but they make some clarifications. It is more correct to consider a newborn child, a teenager, a person of adolescence as a growing, developing personality. They are carriers of the makings of a future personality - a future integral system of properties.

The famous Russian psychologist L.I. Bozhovich believed that a person should be called a person who reaches a certain level of mental development, which is characterized by the perception of himself as a single whole, different from others. This means that a person can be called a person who has reached such a level of mental development that makes him capable of managing his own behavior and activities, and to some extent even mental development.

“I stand on this and cannot do otherwise!”

In the “individual-individuality-personality” system, the pinnacle of human development is at the level of individuality. At the same time, a person can become an individual only after the formation of personality.

Individuality– this is the definition of a bright personality that stands out for its noticeable originality. B. G. Ananyev believed that personality is the top of the entire structure of human properties, and individuality is its depth. Individuality reflects the unity of all levels of human organization. Each person has individual characteristics, but not everyone is an individual in the sense of harmony between different properties.

The formation of personality occurs in the process of socialization through the development of social norms and rules of behavior, the formation of relationships with others.

The formation of individuality is the process of individualization of the inner world and behavior. The psychological condition for individuality is maturity. The formation of individuality occurs in the process of human self-realization.

A formed individuality is a personality that has become original and has achieved self-determination in its own reality of existence.

Individuality is a new level of spiritual life to which the personality rises in the process of deep and purposeful development. As if after a kind of exam on the integrity of his inner “I”, a person becomes an individual.

The famous psychologist A.G. Asmolov once expressed a competent idea that one is born as an individual, becomes an individual, and defends individuality.
