Abstract

The article explores the socio-psychological dimensions of personality development through the lens of species-level and individual-specific characteristics. While psychological science has long acknowledged both universal (specieswide) and unique (individual) aspects of personality, their dynamic interaction remains underexplored, especially within social contexts. The article analyzes key theories and perspectives on human development, integrating insights from developmental, social, and personality psychology. Using a theoretical and interpretative approach, this study proposes a conceptual framework for understanding how socio-cultural environments mediate the expression of both inherited species-specific traits and unique individual tendencies. Particular attention is paid to how socialization, group dynamics, and interpersonal relationships shape personal growth and differentiation. The article concludes by outlining possible methods for identifying and supporting individual personality profiles within educational, organizational, and therapeutic settings. These methods aim to cultivate environments that foster self-realization while respecting collective human potentials. The findings highlight the need for a nuanced understanding of personality that accounts for both universal psychological patterns and deeply personal variations.
