Which of the following is an internal factor
Answers
The growth and development of human beings are influenced by a variety of factors categorized broadly as internal and external.
Internal Factors: All those factors which lie within the individual are called internal factors. These factors include heredity, biological or constitutional factors, intelligence, emotional factors, social nature.
1. Biological and constitutional factors: A child’s constitutional make-up somatic structure, physique and body chemistry influence his/her growth and development throughout his/her life.
2. Heredity factors: the heredity factors play their part at the time of conception in the mother’s womb. What is transferred to the offspring from its immediate parents in the form of genes and chromosomes at this time constitutes the hereditary contribution. This contribution is the real starting point and basis for all the growth and development that take place later in the life of the child.
3. Intelligence: Intelligence- as the ability to learn, adjust and take right decision at right time- has a significant role in the overall growth and development of the child. It affects his/her social behaviour, moral judgment and emotional growth.
4. Emotional factors: Emotional factors, e.g. emotional adjustability and maturity, play a big role in influencing a person’s overall growth and development. If a person cannot exercise reasonable control over his/her emotions, he/she is sure to suffer in terms of his/her growth and development.
5.Social nature: A person’s socialization helps him/her in achieving adjustment and advancement in other aspects of his growth and development. He/she may learn from his/her environment, more by means of his/her social nature, which may prove to be a boon to him/her for his/her proper growth and development.
