Human Development and Personal
Development Developmental scientists
identified the three
aspects or domains of
human development as
(Papalia & Feldman
2012):
 1. Physical Development - covers the
growth of the body and the brain,
motor and sensory skills, and even
physical health.

2. Cognitive Development - covers our

capacity to learn, to speak, to
understand, to reason, and to create.
 3. Psychosocial Development
- includes our social interactions
with other people, our emotions,
attitudes, personality, beliefs,
and values.
Human development is also
influenced by:
Heredity or the inborn traits
passed on by the
generations of offsprings
from both sides of the
biological parent's families;
Human development is also
influenced by:
Environment is the
world outside of
ourselves and the
experiences that result
from our contact and
interaction with this
external world; and
Human development is also
influenced by:
Maturation is the
natural progression of
the brain and the body
that affects the
cognitive, psychological
and social dimensions
of a person.
Is it Personality Development or Personal
Development?
The word personal is define as:
Belonging or relating to a particular person;
Made or designed to be use by one person;
Someone who's job involves working for or helping

The word personality, on the other hand, is define as:

Attractive qualities that make something unsual or

And finally, the word development is define as:
The act or process of growing or causing
something to grow or become larger or more
advanced;
The act or process of creating something over a
period of time; and
The state of being created or made more advanced.
Personality Development has led to global
businesses in image enhancement, fashion, body
contouring, modeling, and beauty pageants, among
others.
Personal Development is the process of self-
reflection, self-awareness, acceptance, and
learning new values, attitudes, behavior, and
thinking skills to reach one's fullest potential.
 AREAS OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

The following is a high level list of areas of personal

development. Each area is equally important to the
improvement of your life as as adolescent.

1. HEALTH - Is a state of complete physical, mental

and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity.

2. FINANCE - To live a comfortable life, maintain a

family, or just follow your dreams it is fundamental that

 AREAS OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

4. SPIRITUALITY - Means the quality of being

concerned with the human spirit as opposed to
material things.

5. HABITS - A recurrent, often unconscious, pattern or

behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.
Human nature is very complex. There is no one
singular school of thought in any form of scientific
study including psychology,which can completely
and satisfactorily define human nature.
Human beings have the sole capacity to reflect
upon itself, and in the process develop self-
awareness, become motivated, and then desire to
grow and change for the better; and are prompted
to mature and improved until it reaches its desired
levelof development.
The understanding of human development began
with Homo sapiens walking the earth, and
cavemen drew figures to express experiences.
Western philosophers, particularly Greek thinkers,
began to question the self and human nature.
Plato's Republic emphasizes character
development in education, a concept that has been
linked to social responsibility since early human
development.
 Infancy (neonate and up to
5 STAGES OF HUMAN one year age)
DEVELOPMENT Toddler ( one to five years of
age)
Childhood (three to eleven
years old) - early childhood is
from three to eight years old,
and middle childhood is from
nine to eleven years old.
Adolescence or teenage
(from 12 to 18 years old)
Adulthood.
Abraham Maslow and Carl
Rogers were two prominent
proponents of Humanistic
Psychology, with Maslow
focusing on the five stages of
human development and
Rogers arguing that
individuals have the capacity
to move towards matarity
within themselves.
Personal development, a part of psychology, is
intertwined with brain and physical body
development.
Adolescence, the transition period between
childhood and early adulthood, is typically between
11 or 12 years old and lasts until around 18 years
old, with differing estimates among scientists and
psychologists.

Biological changes during adolescence lead to
cognitive and affective changes. Adolescents can
reason abstractly, become more inquisitive about
philosophy, religion, and politics, and question their
identity. Puberty also affects relationships with
family and friends, with friends becoming the
center of these connections.
