How does cultural enviroment influence personality development?

The cultural environment can be described as a set of beliefs, rules, behaviour that is common to people of the same environment or culture. Cultural environment plays a major role in shaping the ideologies as well as the personality of a person.

A persons behaviour makes up his/her personality. The culture of a person is reflected in the actions that he performs. For example, in some cultures, women are considered to be inferior to men. The women from these cultures have a shy and non- dominant personality as compared to the women of the areas where women are treated equally to men.
