The formation of personality traits is a systemic educational impact that leads to the desired sustainable behavior. Practically the same as education personality traits. For example, education of responsibility, education of independence, education of adulthood…
It should be taken into account that, starting from the 80s of the XNUMXth century in the Soviet Union and further in Russia, the word “formation” was, in fact, included in the list of forbidden words both in pedagogy and in psychology. «Formation» began to be considered rigidly tied to the «subject-object» approach, which excludes the internal activity of the individual, and therefore the approach is unacceptable. It is permitted and recommended to speak of «personality development» as this more reflects a «subject-subject» approach, namely the assumption that the child always cooperates with an adult in his growth and development.
What needs to be generated
Children and adults begin to behave as they should, as they are required to, when they have for this:
- necessary experience, skills and abilities,
Teach, give examples, support. Particular attention is given to the age of maximum susceptibility.
- the desired behavior has become habitual for them,
To do this, a person (child) must be involved in life and affairs where such behavior occurs. Sometimes this can be ensured by psychological methods, sometimes by administrative ones. It is better if this is provided by soft and flexible methods, but if necessary, methods can also be forceful, hard.
- they have an interest or benefit in behaving the way we want,
Persuasion helps, drawing attention to the benefits of the behavior we need. As well as creating situations where such interest appears.
- they have the corresponding life values: «It is necessary to be like this, it’s good to be like that.»
Samples and Suggestions

Samples and Suggestions
- they have personal self-identification “I am the one for whom such behavior is natural! I manage to be like that!”
Initiation
- the desired behavior of the child (adult) receives reinforcement and support.
