Who was Hippocrates | A Greek physician and philosopher - In 370 BCE he developed a theory on personality, concluding that personality traits and human behaviors are based on four fluids of the body. |
Fluid# 1 (sanguine temperament) | Blood: Associated with the sanguine temperament |
Fluid# 2 (phlegmatic temperament) | Phlegm: A liquid released when coughing or sneezing |
Fluid# 3 (melancholic temperament) | Black bile: A dark liquid released when vomiting, associated with the melancholic temperament |
Fluid#4 (choleric temperament) | Yellow bile: A light liquid released when vomiting, associated with the choleric temperament |
Galen | Greek physician and philosopher who built on Hippocrates’s theory, suggesting that both diseases and personality differences could be explained by imbalances in the humors and that each person exhibits one of the four temperaments. |
Examples of Galen's finding | The choleric person is passionate, ambitious, and bold; the melancholic person is reserved, anxious, and unhappy; the sanguine person is joyful, eager, and optimistic; and the phlegmatic person is calm, reliable, and thoughtful |
Bandura observational learning | Believed that through observational learning, we come to learn what behaviors are acceptable and rewarded in our culture, and we also learn to inhibit deviant or socially unacceptable behaviors by seeing what behaviors are punished. |
Bandura continued | Our culture plays a role in the development of our personality through observational learning. |
Culture | Personality is shaped by both genetic and environmental factors. The culture in which you live is one of the most important environmental factors that shapes your personality. |
