We can study the individual elements that make up the human personality, the elements come together to create a whole person in a way that is not reducible to its parts. A person"s typical way of thinking, feeling and acting in various situations, at different times. Genetics is the study of how genes and environment affect personality and behavior. Even though many personality variables have a genetic component, every one of them has an environment component as well: neuroscience. Neuroscience is the study of how our brain and nervous system affect personality and behaviour through the study of bodily responses, brain structure, brain activity and biochemistry activity. Self and identity encompasses our own sense of who we are including our self-concept, self- esteem and social identity. We have a sense of who we are: our self-concept. We have an opinion about that: our self esteem.
