Description
"The Birth of Personality" investigates the origins of personality through a study of independent and moral behaviour in pre-school children. Subbotsky distinguishes two forms of personality functioning and development - verbal and actual behaviour - and presents experimental data which analyzes the motivation of actual behaviour in situations of moral conflict. The role of peer and adult external pressure is examined, parent's concepts about the age of moral responsibility are discussed, the relationships between parental attitudes towards childrearing and children's moral behaviour are traced, and a model of the stages of moral development during preschool childhood is given.
