Budapest, and so far has not been translated into any Western language.' It is, however, necessary to call attention to it, at least in review form, so as to initiate some discussion about the problems raised in it. The topics treated by the author concern equally the fundamentals of psychology, social sciences and social philosophy; the author's intuition, originality and strict argumentation makes his contribution noteworthy for those engaged in these disciplines. In this review three major topics of the book will be summarized: 1) Relation of Marxism to psychology; 2) the problem of human needs; 3) implications for social psychology. * SzemClyisCgdinamika 6s tcfrsadalmi 1Pt.

This essay is concerned with personality as influenced by environment on both natural, geographical, social, that has a bearing on human personality. It is through emphasis of environmental as being responsible for behaviour change where it sets limits to personality and provide opportunities to development. As a result of differences of person’s attitudes, characters, tendencies, ways of thinking, inclination, temperament etc develops changes in personalities. Children copy from their close surrounding environment more especially from their parents, friends and what they observe, hear, which has taken their understanding and behaviour to different levels in the present century as compared to previous centuries. The young generation criticise the previous generations in terms of what has taken their attention and understanding. Given example of respect, many young people these days have low respect to elderly. When they meet elderly persons outside their relatives, they have limited respect to them as compared to what was happening during the early centuries. They call themselves dotcom generations meaning modern generation of computerised technology. The essay therefore intends to understand what personality is according to other theories, understand what the environment is or the surroundings of an individual, how the surroundings have always influenced persons behaviour and created impact. I will also identify advantages and disadvantages of environmental factors that have always influenced personal behaviours.

It has long been believed that personality traits vary by geographicallocation, but few studies have examined the worldwide distribution of personality profiles. Using the five-factor model of personality—a comprehensive and apparently universal trait structure—we conducted secondary analyses of data from 36 cultures. Distance from the equator and mean temperature were not meaningfully related to personality factors. However, cluster analysis showed that geographically proximatecultures often have similar profiles, and multidimensional scaling showed a clear contrast of European and American cultures with Asian and African cultures. The former were higher in extraversion and openness to experience and lower in agreeableness. A second dimension reflected differences in psychological adjustment. Observed differences between cultures may be the result of differences in gene pools or in features of culture; acculturation studies and the analyses of other natural experiments are needed t...

The birth of the Renaissance movement in the West ushered the scholars as well as the masses into a broader perspective of learning and knowledge seeking. The spirit of the Renaissance paved the way forward for scholars to gain freedom of speech and liberation from their old mindset. Europe that was bursting with new philosophical and scientific ideas also gave its people a wide range of perspectives in understanding man and personality. Secularism and modernism that came as a result of the Renaissance movement caused a shift in the understanding on man and his personality from a religious to a scientific one. In this study, the researchers would like to venture into the areas of man and personality from the Western perspective. Very precisely, the researchers would like to conduct a survey on the shifting paradigms in the field of Western psychology, pertaining to the study on man and personality. Upon performing the survey, the researchers would like to identify and analyze the un...
