Parent meeting on the topic "Determination of temperament"

Features of the temperament of younger students have a significant impact on learning activities.

Temperament is a combination of individual psychological characteristics of a person that characterizes the dynamic and emotional-volitional aspects of her behavior and activities. It acts as a kind of link between the body, cognitive processes and personality. Accounting for the individual characteristics of students is necessary in relation to various aspects of his personality, including in relation to the temperamental characteristics of children.
The main properties of personality include: temperament and character. Temperament is determined by the type nervous system and reflects predominantly innate characteristics of behavior. Temperament expresses the attitude of a person to the events taking place around him.
Any person must constantly take into account the temperament of the people with whom he has to work and communicate. This is necessary for effective interaction with them, reducing the likelihood of conflict situations, and avoiding possible stress. There are no better or worse temperaments. Therefore, efforts in contact with a person should not be aimed at correcting him, but at the competent use of the merits and advantages of temperament while neutralizing negative manifestations.
The earliest classification of temperament types was developed in the 2nd century BC. Roman physician Claudius Galen. In this typology, four main types are distinguished: choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic. As a rule, one should talk about the predominance of certain traits of temperament, the relationship of temperaments, their percentage in the personality. In "pure form" individual types of temperament are rare. However, let us characterize the "pure" types of temperaments.

Choleric.

It is characterized by increased excitability, actions are intermittent. He is characterized by sharpness and swiftness of movements, strength, impulsiveness, vivid expression of emotional experiences. Due to imbalance, carried away by business, he is inclined to act with all his might, to be exhausted more than he should. Having public interests, temperament manifests in initiative, energy, adherence to principles. In the absence of a spiritual life, the choleric temperament often manifests itself in irritability, efficiency, intemperance, irascibility, inability to self-control under emotional circumstances.

Sanguine.

Quickly adapts to new conditions, quickly converges with people, sociable. Feelings easily arise and change, emotional experiences are usually shallow. Facial expressions are rich, mobile, expressive. He is somewhat restless, needs new impressions, does not regulate his impulses enough, does not know how to strictly adhere to the developed routine of life, the system at work. In this regard, he cannot successfully carry out a task that requires an equal expenditure of effort, a long and methodical effort, perseverance, stability of attention, and patience. In the absence of serious goals, deep thoughts, creative activity, superficiality and inconstancy are developed.

Phlegmatic person.

It is characterized by a relatively low level of activity of behavior, new forms of which are developed slowly, but are persistent. It has slowness and calmness in actions, facial expressions and speech, evenness, constancy, depth of feelings and moods. Persistent and stubborn, he rarely loses his temper, is not prone to affects, having calculated his strength, brings the matter to the end, is even in relationships, moderately sociable, does not like to chat in vain. Saves energy, does not waste it. Depending on the conditions, in some cases, a phlegmatic person can be characterized by "positive" features - endurance, depth of thought, constancy, thoroughness, in others - lethargy, indifference to the environment, laziness and lack of will, poverty and weakness of emotions, a tendency to perform only habitual actions.

Melancholic.

His reaction often does not correspond to the strength of the stimulus, there is a depth and stability of feelings with their weak expression. It is difficult for him to concentrate on anything for a long time. Strong influences often cause a prolonged inhibitory reaction in melancholics (“hands down”). He is characterized by restraint and muffled speech and movements, shyness, timidity, indecision. Under normal conditions, a melancholic is a deep, meaningful person, can be a good worker, successfully cope with life tasks. Under adverse conditions, it can turn into a closed, timid, anxious, vulnerable person, prone to difficult internal experiences of such life circumstances that do not deserve it.

The famous cartoonist H. Bidstrup once depicted the reaction of four people to the same incident: someone accidentally sat on the hat of a man resting on a bench. As a result: the choleric became furious, the sanguine laughed, the melancholic became terribly upset, and the phlegmatic calmly put his hat on his head.

Instruction.

You are alternately offered a set of personality traits (80 questions). Answer positively ("Yes") if this quality really manifests itself in you. Or it shows up in your child. Otherwise, choose the answer "No".

The result of the test is the percentage of the types of temperament present in you.

What makes us so different from each other? Why are we different?

The behavior and fate of a person is influenced by his upbringing, development, tastes, and also such an important parameter as temperament.

What is temperament, how and why to define it? These are special innate qualities that do not change throughout life and create the general behavioral background of a person.

Temperament does not affect tastes, preferences, life goals. Rather, it determines reactions to any external or internal events, as well as the type of behavior.

For example, a person is standing near the road in rainy weather, and a passing car pours water on him. One will begin to swear with the most nasty words, cursing the driver. The other will be upset, but will not show it - rather, he will hold a grudge deep inside.

The third will not pay attention to the incident at all, and the fourth will only laugh at this curiosity. It is precisely this behavior that directly depends on the type of temperament.

Determining the type of temperament is very important, because it will allow you to better understand yourself, make meaningful decisions in life situations to be mindful of your life.

The test will not let you make a mistake!

Before defining your own type, it is worth understanding what they are and what are their features. There are only four of them: melancholic, choleric, phlegmatic and sanguine.

melancholic

This is a deeply vulnerable person, inclined to experience problems inside, destroying himself. Such a problem as “they don’t like me”, “they don’t understand me” is about him.

Melancholic - absolute introvert, it is difficult for him to be in the spotlight, he often changes his mood and is prone to depression. Main qualities:

• Vulnerability.

Eysenck circle.

Explanation for the drawing "Eysenck circle":

Sanguine = stable + extroverted

Phlegmatic = stable + introverted

Melancholic = unstable + introverted

Choleric = unstable + extroverted

The presentation of the results on the scales of extraversion and neuroticism is carried out using a coordinate system.
The interpretation of the obtained results is carried out on the basis of psychological characteristics personalities corresponding to one or another square of the coordinate model, taking into account the degree of severity of individual psychological properties and the degree of reliability of the data obtained.
Drawing on data from higher physiology nervous activity, Eysenck hypothesizes that strong and weak types, according to Pavlov, are very close to the extroverted and introverted personality types.
The nature of introversion and extroversion is seen in the innate properties of the central nervous system, which ensure the balance of the processes of excitation and inhibition. Thus, using survey data on the scales of extraversion, introversion and neuroticism, it is possible to derive indicators of personality temperament according to Pavlov's classification who described four classic types: sanguine(according to the main properties of the central nervous system, it is characterized as strong, balanced, mobile),
choleric(strong, unbalanced, mobile),
phlegmatic person(strong, balanced, inert),
melancholic(weak, unbalanced, inert).

"Pure" sanguine(high extraversion and low neuroticism) quickly adapts to new conditions, quickly converges with people, sociable. Feelings easily arise and change, emotional experiences, as a rule, are shallow. Facial expressions are rich, mobile, expressive.
He is somewhat restless, needs new impressions, regulates his impulses insufficiently, does not know how to strictly adhere to the established routine, life, and work system.
In this regard, he cannot successfully carry out a task that requires an equal expenditure of effort, a long and methodical effort, perseverance, stability of attention, and patience.
In the absence of serious goals, deep thoughts, creative activity, superficiality and inconstancy are developed.

Choleric(high extraversion and high neuroticism) is characterized by increased excitability, actions are intermittent. He is characterized by sharpness and swiftness of movements, strength, impulsiveness, vivid expression of emotional experiences. Due to imbalance, carried away by business, he is inclined to act with all his might, to be exhausted more than he should.
Having public interests, temperament manifests in initiative, energy, adherence to principles. In the absence of a spiritual life, the choleric temperament often manifests itself in irritability, efficiency, intemperance, irascibility, inability to self-control under emotional circumstances.

Phlegmatic person(high introversion and high neuroticism) is characterized by a relatively low level of activity of behavior, new forms of which are developed slowly, but are persistent. It has slowness and calmness in actions, facial expressions and speech, evenness, constancy, depth of feelings and moods.
Persistent and stubborn "worker of life", he rarely loses his temper, is not prone to affects, having calculated his strength, brings the matter to the end, is even in relationships, moderately sociable, does not like to chat in vain. Saves energy, does not waste it.
Depending on the conditions, in some cases, a phlegmatic person can be characterized by "positive" features - endurance, depth of thought, constancy, thoroughness, etc., in others - lethargy, indifference to the environment, laziness and lack of will, poverty and weakness of emotions, a tendency to fulfill just habitual actions.

melancholic(high introversion and high neuroticism). His reaction often does not correspond to the strength of the stimulus, there is a depth and stability of feelings with their weak expression. It is difficult for him to concentrate on something for a long time. Strong influences often cause a prolonged inhibitory reaction in a melancholic (hands down).
He is characterized by restraint and muffled motor skills and speech, shyness, timidity, indecision. Under normal conditions, a melancholic is a deep, meaningful person, can be a good worker, successfully cope with life's tasks.
Under adverse conditions, it can turn into a closed, timid, anxious, vulnerable person, prone to difficult internal experiences of such life circumstances that do not deserve it at all.
