I am sorry for not clarifying myself. Object as being any observed thing inside of a person's surroundings. Like if I see a cat and I grew very fond of that cat and learned its behaviors from observations. Then I may integrate those behaviors into my psyche as being apart of my personality. I also just watch some videos on the personality and just from that I can see idea is incorrect and does not line up with other developed theories/hypothesis on the matter of personality growth and development. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you might kill a mouse and leave it on the doorstep? Cruise people's backyards at night? Walk across the kitchen counter? Very strange question you have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find it is often a good idea to learn about things by studying, rather than just making stuff up based on total ignorance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raise some children without the typical objects around and see if they still have a personality. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just out of curiosity, how do you picture a lack of personality? And wouldn't that be a personality in itself? Also, even if you remove "typical objects" from the child's environment, there will always be other objects around which to create a personality (I'm not advocating the notion). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd keep it simple. I'd look for an absence of what we typically describe as a personality. Is bald a hair color, or a lack of hair? Does this mean I have a tattoo because a lack of them is a tattoo in itself? You'd have to redefine "lack" and "absence" to have them be something different wrt personality. Or redefine "personality" so that a lack of one isn't actually not having a recognizable one. I think any reaction to stimuli outside that required by our physiology is possible evidence of personality. It doesn't require pleasing objects. If I tap someone's patellar tendon and get a knee jerk, it's practically a mandatory response, but if they smile or frown or draw back or scream after I do it shows me a distinct individual is behind the reactions to the response. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
