Summary/Abstract: Man is a social being in essence. The complexity of human nature led to the development of theoretical perspectives on its characteristics, psychologists and sociologists alike, trying to identify those aspects of human behaviour specific to each individual, social group and also man in general. From this perspective, social psychology deals with the construction of human personality not as a result of the specific personality traits in the foreground, but especially the social environment, the characteristic social context. As a result, an overall explanatory theory is outlined, experimentally grounded and conducted by scientific methods, a perspective from which the personality is especially a social construct, is the one that gives meaning to his world.
