Defining attitude personality and behavior is a bit tricky because all have slightly overlapping areas. So through this blog I am trying to define the above three terms based on my knowledge and assumptions.....
Attitude
It is something that is internal to
an individual. How an individual view his surroundings situations etc. It
arises from our belief about the way things are. Best example of attitude is
job satisfaction. Due to various factors like salary, co-workers and other
external factors different individuals may have varying levels of satisfaction
in their job. If we have positive feeling about our job we will work more hard
and better for the company.
Behavior
It is how we respond to our
environment including different situations and other individuals. It is the
external response of individuals which may or may not follow from our attitude.
Sometimes even if we have negative feelings about our superiors we will be
forced to behave in a positive way. But if our attitude will result in a
positive output then our behavior will follow attitude.
Personality
An individual’s personality evolves
from various factors like heredity, environment in which he grows up and
interacts with etc. It is unique for individuals like his fingerprint. Some
factors like our external appearance are inherited from our parents. But that
alone does not make our personality. External factors like our friends,
relatives, environment plays a major role in shaping our personality.
Our ability to influence other people will be
directly related to our personality. Many highly influential leaders in the
history have got a very good personality. Unlike our attitude and behavior it
may be more related to how others view us as an individual.
