The character of a person is formed from childhood and changes with age. The psychological characteristics of the individual depend on his ways of thinking, feelings and motives, therefore closely related to social conditions and specific circumstances.
Personality traits that are repeated in typical situations are character traits. People differ among themselves with courage or cowardice in moments of danger, isolation or sociability in relationships and the like. Scientists have developed many classifications that describe the psychological characteristics of personality. The domestic school shares two directions of the systematization of character properties.
1. Mental processes form personality traits
The volitional sphere is responsible for the level of perseverance, determination, independence, organization, discipline, self-control.
Emotional internal processes make a person impressionable, responsive, inert, indifferent, hot-tempered and sharp.
The level of intellectual development determines ingenuity, curiosity, resourcefulness, thoughtfulness.
2. The orientation of the personality forms character traits
In the system of character orientation, they share the category of properties in relation to themselves, to people, to the world around them and to activities.
For example, a person refers to the world around him, according to his own convictions or absolute unprincipledness. The belief system is based on one's own experience and upbringing.
Psychological characteristics of character in relation to activity driven by vital goals. Character traits are shown in priority interests. The instability of inclinations is visible against the background of a broken integrity of the personality and lack of independence. On the contrary, people with constant attachments and interests are simultaneously characterized as purposeful and persistent.
The psychological characteristics of the character differ in two people with the same interests. After all, they can differently relate to themselves or to others. Therefore, one is cheerful, and the second is sad, one is modest, and the second is obsessive, selfish or altruist. Two individuals with the same orientation differently understand the ways to achieve the goal, choose different models of behavior, because they have different motivations. The need for success determines the psychological characteristics of actions aimed either at the desire to simply avoid failure, or in an active struggle for victory. Therefore, someone takes the initiative, and someone deviates from the slightest responsibility.
In relation to people there is a lie or honesty, sociability, politeness, responsiveness.
Self-esteem is based on a healthy level of egoism, while low or high self-esteem can be observed.
Psychological features of perception
In humans, visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, olfactory, and taste receptors are developed to varying degrees , with the help of which the process of perception is carried out.
The perception of space is to determine the remoteness of an object from an observer, from objects, its parameters and shape. Visual analyzers, hearing, skin and motor receptors work. The perception of three-dimensional space provides a person with a special organ called the vestibular apparatus, which is located in the inner ear.
To perceive time, a person has to use analyzers of internal organic sensations, in addition to auditory, visual and motor sensations. Some individuals wake up at the right time without an alarm. Such people are said to have developed a sense of time in the process of life.
Not all types of perception have been completely studied yet, scientists are actively exploring this area of the human psyche.
