Abstract

Personality is a central concept in psychology that explains individual differences in patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior. It reflects the relatively stable characteristics that shape how individuals interact with their environment and respond to life experiences. This article provides a scientific and analytical overview of personality, focusing on its definitions, major theoretical approaches, structural components, and its influence on human behavior and social interaction. Drawing on classical and contemporary psychological theories, the study examines how personality develops, how it is assessed, and why it is essential for understanding human behavior in educational, social, and professional contexts.
