B
①“Your personality(性格) has three different layers (层),” says Robyn Fivush, a psychologist at Emory University.
②First, there are your most basic personality traits(特征), including how open you are to new experiences, and whether you like to be with other people or prefer to be alone, and how stressed out you get in difficult situations. Your basic traits are pretty obvious even when you're a baby. “Some babies are a little bit fussier(一惊一乍的) or a little bit more active or a little bit more smiley. Those can develop into more stable personality traits,” Fivush says. “They stay pretty much the same as you grow up.”
③The next layer of your personality is your experiences. “If your family is loving and responsive when you're a baby, that teaches you ‘the world is a safe and trusting place, I'm going to be OK, my needs are going to be met, and if anything bad happens, I have people to take care of me’,” Fivush says. That feeling of trust and security lasts for your whole life, and it tends to make you more confident and capable
of dealing with difficulties when you are an adult(成年人).
④“The third layer is the stories you tell about yourself,” Fivush says. “We all tell stories about our lives, both to ourselves and to other people. Those stories give meaning to your experiences. They can be stories about your own life—like how much you loved your science teacher, what a great time you had when she helped you with your science fair project, and how that made you want to be a scientist. But your family's stories are equally important.” Knowing about how your parents met, or what your grandmother's childhood was like, helps you see where you come from. And talking with your family about both the happy and sad times you've experienced can help you understand those events more clearly and learn different ways to deal with challenges. Family stories don't just teach you who you are—they help you find out who you want to be.
