In
his first book, "Personality: a psychological interpretation" Allport
described and classified more than 50 different definitions of identity. He
concludes that an adequate synthesis of existing definitions can be expressed
in the phrase: "the person - it's something and it's doing something.
Personality - what lies beyond the specific actions inside the individual"
(Allport, 1937, p. 48) . Avoiding certain person as a purely hypothetical idea
Allport argued that this is a real entity, referred to the individual.
However,
the question remains: what is the nature of this thing? Allport (1937)
responded to this question by proposing a result of multiple adjustments to the
precise definition of personality: "Personality - a dynamic organization
of those psychophysical systems within the individual that determine
characteristic of his behavior and thinking" (Allport, 1961, p. 28). What
is all this? Firstly, "dynamic organization" suggests that human
behavior is constantly evolving and changing; According to the theory Allport,
personality - not a static entity, although it is based on the fundamental
structure that integrates and organizes the various elements of personality.
The reference to "psycho-physical system," reminds us that when
considering the description of the individual and should be considered as
elements of "reason" and elements "of the body." Use of the
term "define" it is a logical consequence of psychophysical
orientation Allport.
In fact, the meaning of this expression is that the
personality includes "determining the trend," the appearance of
appropriate incentives giving impetus to actions, which manifest the true
nature of the individual. The word "characteristic" in the definition
Allport only reflects the paramount importance attached by them to the
uniqueness of every human being. It personological system no two people are
alike. Finally, the words "behavior and thinking" refers to all types
of human activity. Allport believed that the personality expresses itself in
some way in all of the observed manifestations of human behavior.
When
handling the physical body, we have to invade the borders of the individual.
How well a person is himself can be judged by his actions, behavior and values.
Since the values and needs adjusting our behavior, watching them, we can tell
about a person. Who or what will be the nature of the energy fields, will be
clear by its actions and desires.
Can
we assume the post of human personality? Based on the theory Allport - yes, as
there is material vessel and mind in it. It will have people post something in
common with Homo sapiens? Preserving the structure and follow its qualitative
growth and development, he will be reminded of the nature of man. But it is
doubtful whether his actions will be clear to us.
