    1. Heredity:

    Some characteristics of our behaviour are genetic, which we inherit. Some of the traits like physical height, slimness, dexterity, intellectual capacity, ability to learn, logical power, etc. are also inherited. All these have a significant influence on our behavioural patterns.

    2. Family background:

    The socio-economic status of the family, education of the parents, and other family members shape the personality of an individual to a considerable extent. In fact, family members themselves try to influence the behaviour of children in a desperate attempt to personify their own values, roles, etc.

    3. Nature of people with whom we interact:

    People influence each other and such influences shape the personality. For this reason, we often say that one’s personality is constantly evolving and is shaped throughout one’s life.

    4. Culture:

    Culture shapes our personal values and predispositions. It is the unique characteristic of a social group. The values and norms shared by its member’s sets it apart from other social groups. The essence of culture is the collective programming of the mind.

    According to anthropological concepts, culture relates to a shared system of beliefs, attitudes, possessions, attributes, customs, and values that define group behaviour. Values are assumptions about ‘how things ought to be’ in the group. Thus, culture plays a significant role in influencing the behaviour of an individual.
