 Is it possible to change human personality?

 Human personality?

Looking at the scientific and technological progress of the modern era, a philosopher once opined that in this era, it is possible for humans to fly in the sky like birds. It is also very possible to spend time in the ocean like sea creatures. But it is difficult to live peacefully together on earth. The philosopher expressed this opinion, looking at the complexity of human personality. In reality, the individual differences between humans, the differences in thinking, and the differences in the ideas of good and evil are so great that the conflict of all these endangers the life of a person and destroys the atmosphere of peace.

In this context, it is not only the anti-social and mentally ill people who need to change their personalities, but also the common man needs to make some changes in his personality to make the collective life harmonious. Although personality change is necessary for the improvement of personal and social life, the process of change does not proceed in an easy and smooth way. Several psychological factors create obstacles to change.

The definition of human personality generally explains his behavior pattern. Every person tries to adapt to his environment in a specific way. The organized coordination pattern of the person is considered as his personality. The organized form of the coordination pattern gives him relative stability. B3 Although every situation is different from the other, every person faces a situation

He uses his own style without trying new methods. There may be some changes in the style of behavior depending on the situation, but the basic form remains unchanged.

There has been a lot of theoretical discussion and research on the subject of personality change in the past. According to classical Freudian thought, human personality was considered to be almost unchangeable. According to Freud's theory, the basic mold of a person's personality is formed within seven years from birth. The changes that occur in personality later are very small compared to temporary personality.

Freud believed that biological changes in a person occur very rapidly during childhood. In particular, the sources of pleasure for the world change continuously. After getting pleasure from breastfeeding, the child then gets pleasure from using his teeth. With aging, biological changes are manifested in the pleasure of defecating and the pleasure of playing with his genitals. The mental development of the child runs parallel to such biological changes.

Freud firmly believes that the personality of a person is formed under the influence of the impression that childhood experiences make on his mind. The amount of pleasure and enjoyment during the seven years, the child's relationship with his parents and the good and bad behavior of his parents shape the personality of the person. If we consider this from this perspective, we have to take the foundation of a person's personality as his childhood. However, if we accept this view, we also have to admit that the possibility of personality change is slim.

Modern psychological thought has not accepted Freud's view. It has been shown that human personality is changeable and age-related. Of course, this does not mean

Childhood and early life experiences and experiences have no influence. Almost all modern psychologists have accepted the importance of early influences. But the possibility of changing the formed personality of a person despite the influence of events that occurred early in life is an indication of hope.

It is widely accepted that the personality of parents and upbringing play a significant role in the formation of a person's personality.

When power increases

If parents encourage independent activities, personal autonomy and investigative nature and a strong attitude of the child, the child later becomes goal-oriented and enterprising. If the child's dependence is encouraged, the child later becomes inclined to imitate the opinions of others. These are just two examples. The role of parents becomes clear if we study the basic characteristics of a person's helplessness, inconsistency-oriented personality, fun-loving personality and worry-oriented personality, etc. Many studies have shown that the role of the family, especially the interaction between parents and children, influences personality.

Another experience early in life is seen to have a significant impact on personality. That is the tendency to imitate a role model. Young children and adolescents may be exposed to a wide range of influences. In some cases, children imitate their parents and shape their behavior accordingly. In other cases, examples of imitation of people outside the family have been seen. Interestingly, in some cases, when parents are abusive, children express their pent-up emotions to a sensitive person instead of following them and expressing their feelings to them. In this case 

The sensitive character can be a teacher or any other friend. In this case, the child's personality is not affected by the parents but is influenced by the sensitive character. In this process, many adolescents have been found to free themselves from the acidic atmosphere of their families and become strong personalities later in life.

The influence of early events has a significant impact on personality. Depending on one's personality, a person receives all the information that suits him from his environment and judges external events and other people according to his personality, so the possibility of personality change gradually decreases with age. But this does not mean that the possibility of personality change disappears completely.

A state of personality change in adulthood is a unique and common experience. If a person experiences a strange experience in his daily life, then his personality can change significantly. A person may become suspicious of everyone after experiencing betrayal by one of his most trusted friends. After the transformation of his simple and sincere personality, a suspicious personality emerges.

Similarly, it has been observed that personality changes occur due to thoughts, emotions and other factors. When a person is under pressure at work, he is unable to maintain balance, he uses several mental strategies. He copes with his failure in a strange way. For example, he tries to cope with the incident by blaming others etc. Through the use of all these mental tricks, he also changes his personality without his knowledge. Not only the pressure of the workplace but also other situations can bring about such changes.People who have used various types of drugs and stimulants experience temporary changes in their behavior in the initial stage. However, when addiction and drug use become habitual, the changes in behavior are not as rapid as the changes at the beginning. Many drug addicts are found in mental hospitals whose personalities are different from their pre-addiction personalities.

With the exception of the above-discussed cases, the personality of many people changes gradually. This change may occur unconsciously by the person. The gradual changes that occur in the personality of many people depend on the incentives of the external material world and the social environment. If the person suddenly receives a reward or incentive for some behavior, the behaviors he shows gradually increase and become part of the personality. Of course, incentive does not only mean material rewards. Social appreciation, gaining the love of friends, the goodwill of loved ones, etc., lead to a slow change in the behavior of the individual.

Since the adult person initially evaluates the situation according to his personality, the change in personality does not start suddenly. But the repetition of the situation, repeated instructions from others; solitary observation slowly presses on the personality of the individual and keeps it on the path of change.

Just as a person learns good behavior depending on the stimulation of the external environment, a person also shows bad behavior depending on the stimulation of the external environment. According to this theoretical principle, formal plans are also possible for changing the personality of individuals who are harmful to society. The concept If a person is aware of the harmful aspects of his personality, he will try to change it gradually. If this is not possible for the individual due to lack of awareness, social service institutions and people try to change the personality by taking the refuge of socio-scientific methods. Even those who endanger the peace and order of the society used to spend most of their time in jail, whereas in the modern era, more attention is being paid to their reformation. This program is made possible by the optimism about the changeability of the individual's character.of changing antisocial and life-adverse personalities is quite reasonable.
