Personality theories are important in understanding human behavior. Personality is defined as, “the unique way in which each individual thinks, acts, and feels throughout life” (Ciccarelli & White, 2015, p.502). I will describe the following three theories: Big Trait theory, Social Cognitive Theory, and Erickson’s Psychosocial Development Theory.
