Mark Leary – Why You Are Who You Are

How does a traffic jam affect you? What makes you act the way you do? Why do you see the world differently than other people? The answer to these questions is dependent on your personality. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it Hide the full description.

Wherever you go in life, you carry with you a large, complex set of traits, beliefs, emotional tendencies, motivations, and values that make you respond to the world in certain ways. Some of these are part of human nature. They help create the kind of person you are, and the kind of life you lead.

Do you spend time alone or are you more outgoing and social? Do you think you are disorganized? Do you have more energy in the morning or evening? How much self-control do you have?

To understand the roots of personality is to understand why you do what you do and how you deal with the opportunities and challenges of everyday life. Exploring the science of personality can give you new insights that can help you better understand yourself and the people around you.

The quality of our lives depends on how well we can figure out what is going on with other people. In his course, Why You Are Who You Are: Investigations into Human Personality, you examine the differences in people’s personality, where they come from, and how they shape our everyday lives. Professor Leary uses research in psychology, neuroscience, and genetics to understand how personality works. Designed as a fascinating, accessible scientific inquiry, these lectures will have you thinking about personality, your own, and that of the people around you, in a way that is more informed and that reveals what makes you the kind of person that you are.

There is a question about what makes a personality.

We now understand how our brains work. Understanding personality requires more than knowing what goes on in the brain. Combining information from psychology, neuroscience, and genetics, Why You Are Who You Are will show you how our genes, beliefs, values, and behaviors are shaped by many different influences.

There are two overarching goals for Why You Are Who You Are.

Understanding personality characteristics. The most important personality variables make people different from one another. These characteristics help to account for the variability we see among people. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it The roots of personality are explored. Why do people have certain personality quirks? Multiple lectures reveal where these personality characteristics come from. You will start with the basic biological processes that underlie personality, then move on to the roles played by culture, learning, environment, and personal experiences.

The foundation of how psychologists and neuroscientists approach the topic of personality is formed by five important personality traits.

Extraversion. Sociability is the central characteristic of this trait. People who are high in extraversion enjoy large social gatherings. It’s hard to go for a long time without other people to talk to.

Get it immediately. Why are you who you are? There is neuroticism. Negative emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, guilt, and regret are more intense for people who are higher in neuroticism. Researchers call this trait negative emotionality. Agreeableness. The degree to which people have a positive or negative orientation is related to this trait. At the low end are people who are unpleasant and hostile, and at the high end are people who are kind and sympathetic. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it There is conscientiousness. What degree are you reliable? If you usually do what you should, conscientiousness comes down to that. Good self-control and organized people are hallmarks of conscientious people. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it Openness. Openness is a trait that shows the degree to which people are open to new experiences and receptive to new ideas.

Why do you act the way you do?

The nature-versus-nurture debate, as well as myths about self-esteem causing people to be successful and happy, are broken by Professor Leary.

There are many ideas and topics to be explored in the lectures.

Some aspects of your personality are situation specific, meaning that you behave the same way in the same situations, but not always. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it It is difficult to change our behavior due to the fact that much of our personality is outside of our awareness. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it There are two foundations of moral judgments, whether or not an action helps or harms another person and whether or not an action involves fairness. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it As people get older, personality becomes more stable as they get older.

An engaging and accessible investigation.

Professor Leary has studied and explored the science behind our emotions, behaviors, and self-views. He is the author of 14 books and has more than 200 scholarly articles and chapters. You will find yourself in the company of an expert who doesn’t just know the science about personality, but who knows how to explain it to you in a way that makes sense.

It is hard to see a difficult person’s redeeming qualities, no matter how hard we try. Whether or not it really takes all kinds, they are all here anyway. The better off we will all be, the more we know about all these different kinds of people.

The overarching goal of Why You Are Who You Are is to present the concept of personality as a vast, fascinating spectrum that offers a host of different perspectives on the nature and causes of our individual experiences of the world.
