Personality Theory
By: Anam Habib
Personality is a major part of an individual’s development. It develops ideas and explanation to account for the individual differences in their personality. History of Personality can be traced back to Ancient Greek time to Hipporcarate’s Four Temperaments Theory of personality and Plato’s ideas of personality charcters around 359 B.C. However, children were not the main focus of psychology, they were viewed as “miniature adults.” Moreover, there were ideas of personalities but not major theories until the late 1800s. Personlity theory has different approaches, and I am going to be focusing on some of the ones that focuses on children’s personality.
