Summary
All human beings are products of the lifelong concurrent processes of socialization and individuation both of which are grounded in a genetic foundation. Together, these three components mold each person’s distinctive personality. In this chapter, our concern is with the contribution that culture makes to personality structure and functioning, its constancy and modification.
