The second point of personality is focused on biological perspective. Research into the biological perspective of personality has done much to illuminate many of the classic questions of personality. For example,¡¨ Does personality exist?¡¨ or ¡§Can personality change?¡¨ It is now evident that personality is strongly rooted in neurophysiology, and roughly half the variance in personality traits is accounted for by genetic influences. Biological differences in personality, referred to as temperaments, are evident in very young children and persist throughout the life span. In direct contrast to the ideas of Freud, Stella Chess and Alexander Thomas found that many children can be divided into one of three temperaments ¡V easy, difficult, and slow to warm up, regardless of parental upbringing. The temperamental trait of introversion-extraversion has been strongly linked to neurophysiology. Introverts have an active behavioral inhibition system that leads them to avoid social situations in which they anticipate possible negative outcomes.
