บทคัดย่อ
This article examines the dynamic interplay between personality and social associations, asserting that personality is neither purely innate nor entirely socially constructed, but emerges from the ongoing interaction between the individual and their sociocultural environment. Drawing on theories from psychology, sociology, and anthropology, this study explores how personality is shaped by cultural values, social groups, and adaptive responses to new environments. Using comparative examples from Thailand, Myanmar, and Western cultures—supplemented by the perspectives of international exchange students—the paper highlights how individuals adjust their behavior and identity in response to different social expectations. The findings emphasize the importance of self-awareness and adaptability in thriving within multicultural contexts. Ultimately, the paper contributes a nuanced understanding of how personality development is influenced by cross-cultural experiences and sociocultural integration.
