This blog about the PhD thesis “Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Dynamics in Personality Expression: A Complex Dynamical, Enactive, and Embodied Account” by Nicol Arellano-Véliz, explores how embodied dynamics express personality, linking early motor patterns to adult traits and offering new insights into human behavior and development.
In this post, Annika Astengo explores the concepts of selection, evocation, and manipulation to describe how we actively shape our social environments. These ideas range from choosing the situations we find ourselves in to the subtle ways our personality traits evoke responses from those around us. The post reflects on how individual differences influence others and the situations within the social environments we are immersed in.
