Teachers' Perspectives: Factors Causing Negative Personality Development in Students

Abstract

The psychology and personality of pupils or children in elementary school became one of the interesting issues to work on. This issue relates to the children’s mental health and their personality development. Students in the elementary school are capable of absorbing everything around them, just like a sponge. Therefore, a good example of personality and the other way around can make up the students’ personality development, starting from an early age until they are adult enough to make their own personality through their wise sight. This case study aims to describe the students’ personalities; focusing on the factors that caused the development of negative attitudes. The results showed that there are four points or factors that developed negative attitudes: 1) parents 2) technology 3) friends 4) bullying.
