Therefore, personality hasn ’t an exact defınition by which theorists agree on. Each theory and theorist has tried to identify different perspectives of personality. The reason for this matter results from its being a versatile and complex issue and also it ’s reminiscent of a number of features regarding human behaviors. Psychologists regard and define personality as a unique and a set of behaviors of the individual. In this context, psychology is concerned with human unique behaviors, emotions and way of thinking.
