13.Pre-school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities,new research had found.The study reveals that environment plays a key role I shaping people's personalities.While genetics still forms the core of the human psyche(心灵),the research finds that personality traits are"contagious"among children.
"Our finding that personality traits are"contagious"among children flies a face of common assumptions that personality is ingrained(根生蒂固的) and can't be changed,"said Dr Jennifer Neal,associate professor of psychology at Michigan State University and co-author of the study."This is important because some personality traits can help children succeed in life,while others can hold them back."
The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classed for a full school year.One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds,and one a set of four-year-olds.Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time.But children whose peers were anxious or easily frustrated did not take on these traits.
The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits.
A 2015psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person"like a disease".Researchers form Sweden's Lund University claimed that even petty (微不足道的) behavior,like not inviting someone to a communal event or spreading rumors,can start the cycle off.The study found that seeing a supervisor being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.Often,those who experienced rudeness would be rude to others.
Dr Eva Torkelson,a psychologist at Lund University,said the most common cause of people acting rudely at work was imitating others.
"An important finding form our study is that those who behave rudely in the work[place experience stronger social support,which probably makes them less afraid of negative reactions to their behavior form managers and colleagues."
Dr Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do,as it can grow and damage the atmosphere in the office.
