What factors influence human behavior?
Behavior is a way of acting that shows a person's behavior and is the result of a combination of anatomical, physiological and psychological development.
The most common factors that influence one's behaviour are:
A good example for this would be one who was spoiled by his/her parents while growing up. Giving in to ALL his/her wants. A child raised this way will likely end up being too "self-centered" as he is used to all the attention. Compare that to one who comes from a poor family and has to struggle in an early age just to survive. That child will likely end up as a "hardworking" adult as it is now imprinted in his thoughts that one needs to work very hard in order to survive in this cruel world.
One factor that needs to be considered is the personality of the people raising the child (mostly the parents). An abusive parent or a suicidal one will likely have a huge impact on the behaviour of the child in the future. He/She is most likely be traumatized and might even copy the behaviour of the people raising him/her. Violence breeds Violence.
What you teach a child at an early age will be his/her basis for what is right or good. If you impose on a child that "stealing", "cheating" or "lying" is wrong. Then at an early age, he will try his very best not to do those things. The lesson one learned as a child is likely what he will live for in the future.
You might be wondering why I am focusing mostly on how a child is raised during early childhood. This is mostly because at this age is where a child's personality will likely form. It is at this time that he starts to differentiate right from wrong and will mostly try to adapt base on this common factors.
Affecting human behavior can be grouped into two broad categories, namely personal factors and situational factors.
- Personal Factors Affecting Human Behavior.
Personal factors are often influenced by sociogical motives, or often also called secondary motives as opposed to primary motives (biological motives).
1. Motivation to know
That is the tendency of everyone to try to understand and get the meaning of their world. Humans need a frame of reference (frame of reference) to evaluate new situations.
2. The motive of the competition
Everyone wants to prove that he is able to overcome any life problem. Feelings are able to depend heavily on intellectual, social, and emotional development.
3. Love Motif
Various studies have shown that the need for love that is not fulfilled will lead to unfavorable human behavior.
4. Motives Self-esteem and the need to seek identity
Closely related to the need to show ability and gain love, is the need to show existence in the world.
5. The need for value, servitude, and the meaning of life
In dealing with life, humans need values to guide them in making decisions or giving meaning to their lives.
Motivation A person will also determine whether a message is received or not. This also means that motivation to seek entertainment, for example, will be a pretext for enjoying mass media.
- Situational Factors Affecting Human Behavior
Whereas situational factors that affect humans are influenced by several factors, namely.
1. Ecological factors
Environmental determinists often say that natural conditions influence lifestyle and behavior.
2. Temporal Factor
One communication message delivered in the morning will be different in meaning if delivered at midnight.
3. Behavior Settings
In every atmosphere there are patterns of relationships that regulate the behavior of the people inside.
4. Technology
The Technology Revolution is often followed by a revolution in social behavior. In communication science, shows that the form of communication technology is more important than the content of communication media.
I think I will only give A factor that affect human's behavior
The Place where you was raised
This includes the persons that surrounds us, the behaviors we are witnessing, the things we own and the things we don't have
This mainly affect our behaviors, the persons that surrounds us and their behaviors was the biggest contributor of our behaviors.
If all those persons that surrounds us we probably could get their actions
Well I do mean the way for their actions, their way of thinking, their way of making decisions and many more in their behaviors. If the people surrounds us was full of liars, we probably would end up a liar as well.
Also the things we own and not was also a factor, given that we already end up being a greedy person (greedy persons surrounds us) We probably would not be satisfied on the things that we have. We probably would end up behaving and committing evil intentions.
Well not all of the persons end up in this situation but I can roughly say (base on the people that I know) that there are 80% of the people that I know fall under this factor
these are the lists of factors which i think really affects human behaviour
1.....Genetics
2....Social norms
3....Creativity
4....Core faith and culture
5.......Attitude
