A.

Heredity: It refers to physical stature, facial attractiveness, sex, temperament, muscle

composition
and reflexes, energy level, and biological rhythms are characteristics that are
considered to be inherent. This approach argues that the ultimate explanation of an
individuals personality is the molecular structure of genes which are located in the
chromosomes
Brain:
Brain is the second biological approach to determine personality.
It plays an important role in determining personality.
Electrical Stimulation of the Brain (ESB) and Split brain psychology results indicates
that a better understanding of human personality and behavior might come from a
closer study of the brain.
The definite areas of the human brain are associated with pain and pleasure. Research
study shows that these things are true.
Biofeedback:
It is third biological approach to determine personality.
Physiologists and psychologists felt that biological functions like brainwave
patterns, gastric and hormonal secretions, and fluctuations in blood pressure and
skin temperature were beyond conscious control. Recent research shows that these
functions can be consciously controlled through biofeedback techniques.
For this purpose, individual can learns the internal rhythms of a particular body
process through electronic signals that are feedback from equipment which is wired
to body.
In this process, the person can learn to control the body process through questions.
It is one of the interesting topics to do future research work in personality.
Physical Features:
It is third biological approach to determine personality.
It is vital ingredient of the personality, it focus an individual person's external
appearance which also determined the personality.
Physical features like tall or short, fat or skinny, black or white. These physical
features will be influenced the personal effect on others and also affect self concept
of individual.
Recent research studies shows that definitely this features influence to individual
personality in an organization.
In totally, heredity would be fixed at birth and no amount of experience can be altering
them through creation of suitable environment. Apart from this, personality characteristics
are not completely dictated by heredity. There are other factors also influenced to determining
personality.
B. Environment: It comprises of
a. Culture is the sum total of learned behaviour traits which are manifested and shared by
the members of the society. t refers to traditional practice, customs, procedure, norms and
rules and regulation followed by the society. t refers to traditional practice, customs,
procedure, norms and rules and regulation followed by the society
b. Family- the nature of such influence depends upon socio-economic level of family;
family size; birth order; race; parents educational level; geographic location
C. Social: It is the process by which an infant acquires from enormously wide range of
behavioural potentialities that are open to him from birth, customs and social groups. It
involves the reorganization of individual's in an organization or society.
It refers to acquiring of wide range of personality by acquiring and absorbed by
themselves in the society or an organization.
Socialization process is starting from home and extending to work environment in an
organization or society.
It focuses on good relationships, cooperation, coordination and interaction among
the members in the society or an organization or a family.
In totally, environment factors consist of cultural factors, family factors, and
social factors.
D. Situation: It exerts an important pressure on an individual, exerts constraints and at times
pushes an individual and determines his actions. In general term, personality is stable and
consistent and it does change in different
situations.
The Interaction of Personality and Situational Factors are outlined:
Strong situational pressures
Personality may not predict behavior
Example: enforcement of rules
Weak Situational pressures
Personality may predict behavior
Example: Customer sales representative
A strong situation can overwhelm the effects of individual personalities by providing
strong cues for appropriate behavior.
