Scarcity Perception Personality Theory

Abstract

A personality theory focuses on variations among individuals. In forming a personality theory, it is essential to construct an image of the individual and the psychological processes that comprise that picture. A personality theory aims to investigate the psychological variations that form our personality (McLeod, 2014). The primary focus of my personality theory is comprised on the concept of general scarcity. Scarcity is the idea of having a shortage of an item. Scarcity is a wanting or lack of something that we have determined that we must have. Scarcity is a term that is often used in the field of economics, which drives the forces within various types of economic systems. However, I suggest that our perception of scarcity dominates more than just our financial system it has a much larger role in our lives. Within my theory of personality, there is a biopsychosocial aspect of our existence associated with our perception of scarcity that forms our personality and determines our view of oneness with our multi-environments. How we perform in our environments determines the shape, direction, and stability of those conditions. There is an order of unity between our perception of scarcity and environments.
