Personality traits are influenced by a combination of heredity and environment.
Nature vs. Nurture?

12. Heredity
Infants are born with distinct tendencies to act in certain ways.
Traits such as cheerfulness and shyness may be inherited.
Talents such as musical and artistic abilities may be inherited.

13. Environment
Heredity is only half the picture. Your family, your friends, and your cultural group are important parts of your environment. They all have an influence on your personality.
Culture Personality traits that are valued in one culture may not be as highly valued in another culture.
Friends Starting in childhood and throughout the teenage years, friends become an increasingly important influence on personality. These friends, who are about the same age and share similar interests, are called a peer group.
Family Experiences you had as a child helped to shape your personality. Children learn about feelings, attitudes, and appropriate ways to behave from their families. As children develop, they copy the behavior of others. This is called modeling.

26. Self-Esteem and Your Health•
Self-esteem refers to how much you respect yourself and like yourself.
Many psychologists think that high self-esteem has a positive effect on health, while low self-esteem has a negative effect on health.

People with high self-esteem accept themselves for who they are.
They have a realistic view of their strengths and weaknesses.
They maintain a positive attitude even when they fail at a task.

28. Risks of Low Self-Esteem
People with low self-esteem don’t have much respect for themselves.
They judge themselves harshly and worry too much about what others think of them.
Some studies show that teens with low self-esteem are more likely than their peers to use drugs, drop out of school, become pregnant, and suffer from eating disorders.

29. How Self-Esteem Develops: Childhood
Young children need support and encouragement from family members.
Most children enter school with relatively high self-esteem, but there is often a gradual decline in self-esteem during elementary school.

It is normal for teens to be critical of their appearance, their abilities, their interests, and their shortcomings.
But some teens are overly self-conscious and judge themselves too harshly.

31. Adulthood Self-esteem generally rises during adulthood.
Adults begin to accomplish their goals and take control of their lives.

the need to belong
the need for esteem
