This achievement of psychological progression comprises of a multifaceted collaboration of genetics and surroundings for the duration of specific phases of lifetime which lay the base for productive or unproductive progression.
Emotional Development
He was born on January 5, 1969 in Canton, Ohio where his parents Hugh and Bard Warner named him Brian Hugh Warner. At an early age, he attended a Christian School where he was coerced. During this time, the school imparted terror in him about the teachings of the coming of Christ and the theories of the apocalypse. During his childhood, he was sexually molested by a neighbor without letting his mother know about the abuse well after the abuse occurred. He dreaded religious conviction due to that he would be damned for his iniquities.

  • Biological Factors Can Predict Personality

    1903 Words  | 4 Pages

    A layman would define personality as an individual’s characteristics in terms of how they think and behave. Many theorists, however, interprets personality differently resulting in various personality theories. Personality is determined by traits which are behaviours displayed by a person in most given situations. How a person reacts to common circumstances may also be used to foresee future behaviours. Traits are then categorized into types that allow easier comparisons to be made between each individual’s attributes. The focus of this paper would be on the biological aspects of personality whereby traits are thought to be inheritable through genetics and associated with the central nervous system. Behavioural genetics are research that makes use of results from studies done on family, twins and adoptions. The findings of how both genes and environment influences personality from the studies will be discussed. Some researchers found possible issues with the representativeness of such studies. The outline of Eysenck’s biological model of personality and arousal, Gray’s BAS/BIS theory and Cloninger’s biological model of personality will further explain the biological effect on personality.
