Who would
be
responsible
in developing
one’s
personality?
Every individual undergoes
different phases of
development that form his/her
individuality.
Our personality is a product of
genetic response that we inherit
from our parents and from the
influence of our environment.
According to Erik Erikson, adolescence stage of
Psychosocial development, also known as “identity vs.
role confusion” is the stage wherein teens need to
develop the sense of self and personal identity.
At
this point, teenagers start to have circle of friends in
which they build their trust.
Teenagers also experience
adolescence cognitive empathy,
known as “theory of mind,” - having
high regards toward the perspective
of others and feeling concern for
others.
Being adolescents, they tend to
foster social cooperation that
prevents problems and leads to
avoidance of conflicts with peers.
Teenagers are very careful in
understanding the emotions of their
friends as they start to create deep
trust with them.
Teenagers are commonly high
risk-takers and impulsive due to
incomplete development of frontal
lobe during adolescence.
The frontal lobe is responsible for
judgement, impulse control, and
planning.
Search for their self-identify and
independence
These experiences and challenges
are part of a process of
personality development that
adolescents need to understand.
Youcannot
escape life
challenges so
you should know
how your
thoughts,
feelings, and
actions in
managing
personal agency
should be
handled.
Thoughts are impression activated
by a stimulus in your mind that is
evident from the environment that
you are in.
This conscious thought occupies
emotions that give life to thoughts
and it expressed through feelings.
Sometimes when you are too
emotional, you could not think
properly because your emotions
occupy your thoughts, this means
there is lesser space to analyze the
situation because feelings occupy
it.
Behaviors are bodily reaction made
based on our feelings that result to
Remember..
Emotions can direct and
control thoughts that
sometimes affect your
consciousness.
This
can also lead to loss of
focus.
Asa teenager, it is very
important to be focused on
your goals.
A focused thought will lead to
high intelligence.
• Decisions may be individual, these are
affected by factors like values, goals, and
positive affiliations.
• Decisions are affected by positive family and
community context, emphasizing that skills to
deal with anxiety and adversity. (B. Brown)
• An individual must be able to assess himself
or herself accurately prior to making
decisions as the outcomes of his or her
actions can be the reflections of how he or
she is raised, chooses peers, and deals with
the community.
THOUGHTS, FEELINGS & ACTIONS are connected
with one another in such a means that when one
(e.g. Thought) or any two of the three (e.g.
Thought and Feeling) is/are on negative pole, it
may be changed by having the remaining
factor/s focused on the positive pole.

behaviors agreed with one another? What situation was that?
• Have you had an experience when your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors disagreed with one another? What situation was
that? How did you arrive to an informed conclusion afterwards?

feelings, and behaviors that do not agree with each other?

we do that?
