before you learn how to express yourself in words, there are signs reveal about your character attributes that you will appear in old age. Scientific journalist Christian Jarrett explains how to unfold one's personality traits since childhood.
Many factors contributed to the formation of character, as played genetic factors, friends, and schools you have attended, in addition to many other factors, personal role in which you configure them today.

But when specifically began to crystallize distinctive character for you? If you're shy now, for example, does this mean that you're a child shy?
Probably yes. In fact, research suggests the existence of links between behavioral Nzatna when we were children, not Ntad the age of a few months, and our characters in subsequent ages. But this does not mean that our personalities take root since childhood, and can not be changed, but this means that the personal can be roots date back to the early months of age.
Refers psychologists who study infant behavior is usually to "temperamental copyright" for the child, not personal characteristics, it is among the first surveys conducted in this area, the study, which is dubbed "Search whisker in New York," which began in the fifties of the last century, and watched from the during which the team of Stella Chase and her husband, Alexander Thomas 133 children from birth to the age of 30 years, as Hora and parents.
Based on the results of that research, these researchers have suggested the existence of nine attributes mood for children, including the level of activity and the public mood and susceptibility to distraction.
They also noted that the scores achieved by children who have had to study each mood on the unit feature can be assembled together to classify the children into three groups: either the child "Easy anchors," or "ungainly" or "slow to adapt to new experiences," though this indicating a lack of political tact at this time classifies some some way that involves the abuse.
Are these three groups predict the features of the personal in the later stages of life? It reached the New York study is some evidence to suggest that children who are classified at the age of three years as children with anchorages plain, or with anchors Saab, also classified in the same way at the beginning of puberty, however, that the research did not address the links between the child and the figure of mood.
In fact, psychologists who study child's mood along with those who study adult figure for a long time did not work, but that it has changed over the past decade or so.
Although the child's temperament does not predict entirely what will be the personal profiles in old age, there certainly is a close relationship between the two.
It should be noted that the child is evaluated according to the grades of which were acquired in every feature of moods features nine systems have changed over time.
Today, it incorporated aspects of the nine moods in three main dimensions only, (Unfortunately, the terms vary depending on the psychology labs).
First, there is a recipe, "the ability to self-control," which refers to some features such as the child's ability to control himself, and focus, (eg, resist the urge to get a game friendly to the self).
Secondly, there is a recipe "negative emotion", which refers to the levels of negative emotions such as fear and frustration.
Third, there are the recipe "psychological extraversion" or "jubilation and openness," and these qualities related to the levels of activity and excitement, and the fact that a social person.
Russian study published online this year for personal and individual differences, in which father and mother of 45 children classified temperament and moods according to these dimensions when they were in the first months of life has been conducted (seven months on average).
Then these parents their children's class figures again after eight years, on average, based on the key features of the personality of adults, such as extraversion personality, and neuroticism (ie susceptibility to mental disorders).
A comparison between the results achieved by children at the phases of age, the researchers discovered a mismatch in the number of personal characteristics, the children who have attained the highest levels in the test energizes personal or jubilation and openness (because they were more TV than others), scored mostly degrees lower in neuroticism test , one of the adult personal attributes (ie they showed the ability to remain steadfast emotional than others) when they became eight years old.
The children who have attained the highest degree in the same capacity for self-control in this study, scored higher in aspects of care and deliberation degrees in action when they became at the age of eight.
If your child is able to listen for a reasonable period without being distracted thing, Vltistbhr good, because this probably means that it will maintain the cleanliness of his room when he grows up.
However, the results confirm what the researchers described as "a growing consensus that temperamental traits that appear in the first years of life are the basis on which it builds character in the later stages of life."
The irony is that some of the links may extend for four decades.
In another study, the year 2007 was published, the researchers took the results of temperamental traits that were conducted on children between the ages of 12 months and 30 months, to compare results achieved by the same children when they have had their personal characteristics in the stages of testing a more advanced age, forty years later tests, and found a link , though only two features of a specific personality traits.
These two features are not the custody of the children (and this assessment is similar to assessing energizes the user's personal widely), and energizes personal adult. This means that the more participants were more active and confident in childhood, the greater the likelihood of attaining the highest grades in the assessment of personal energizes when become adults, and in the evaluation of self-efficacy (ie our faith with our capabilities).
If the famous poet William Ardsoart is a saying that "the child would become the father of the man" - which means that a man's personality is made up of childhood - the researchers say they would like to add to that phrase "a child when learning to walk, have a close relationship with the composition of the personal in old age ".
It is worth mentioning that our personalities, though fairly constant throughout the stages of our lives, as evidenced by the results of these female students, are constantly evolving, and can not be the person determines the moment when his character has taken in the youth form which has become in maturity stage (Of course, that depends on the side of the meaning of personal after ripening).
In any case, whenever a young child grows, is gradually taking shape features of his character, but wait until the child reaches the age of three years, for example, and you'll find that his behavior at this stage signaled his personality in old age than ever before.
Let us take an example from the findings of the research paper, published in 2003, where the researchers compared the Institute of Psychiatry in London, the grades achieved by more than a thousand children in the age of three in the evaluation of behavioral aspects, from 1975 to 1976.
The researchers classified according to the results of the child attributes, it is either "mentally unbalanced" or "unable to control his emotions" or "confident" or "repressed" or "conservative." And recorded the results of the evaluation profile for the same individuals when they have reached the "26" years old.
But this time it was a strange congruence in a lot of personality traits for the duration of the study, which lasted for about three decades.
For example, the child was "Allowathagon of themselves" are the most flatter than others as adults, unlike children, "Almekputin", has become a personality less flatter than others.
Anyone who has small children or spend a lot of time with them will feel the urge to hide in the search for what the child laugh, or frown face, characteristic of his personality in old age.Recent research in the field of psychology and indicate that all this reflection I probably would not go in vain.
However, this area involves the serious side, as researchers recently realized that the roots of psychological problems in adults might lie in the behavioral tendencies that appear in childhood.
It is by learning how to recognize the signs of psychological problems, it is possible to intervene with caution in the early years of age to help guide children towards the righteous path to a better future.
