This document discusses three types of influences that can impact an individual's personality: normative age influences common to those of a certain age like attending university after high school, normative history influences from significant events that impact a generation like war, and non-normative influences from unusual personal experiences like a death in the family or sickness. These environmental and historical experiences shape how people act and can potentially change personalities over time.
