Abstract
This paper is concerned with the study on the relation of personality formation and personality types to the kinds of culture in which people lived. This was done by the work of social scientists, particularly cultural anthropologists, psychologists and sociologists. The topic focused into two main streams of thought that converged in this enterprise: the first emanating from the psychoanalysis which emphasised the universality of certain basic personality determinants regardless of the cultural milieu, and the second from cultural anthropology and sociology which emphasise that personality traits are relative to the culture in which the individual lives. The cases were taken from examples from the USA. Particular interests were given to immigrants groups.
