Influence of Group and Culture on Human Personality Development

Society functions as a cohesive unit composed of smaller social groups that interact and shape individuals' psycho-social development. The difference between mechanical aggregates and psycho-social units lies in the emotional connections and responsibilities present in the latter. Groups like family, peer groups, and school influence individuals' cultural learning and sense of belonging. Family plays a crucial role in a person’s initial socialization, while peer groups offer realistic self-evaluations. Group acceptance organizes human personality, while rejection can lead to disorganization. Understanding the interplay of biological, psychological, and sociological factors is key to comprehending personality development. References to works by MacIver, Cooley, and Kimball Young provide valuable insights into social organization and psychology.
