A
Pre-school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities,a new rearch has found.The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities.While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche（心理），the rearch finds that personality traits（特征）are "contagious"（传染的）among children. "Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed," said Dr.Jennifer Neal,co-author of the study.
The rearchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school class for a full school year.One of the class was a t of three-year-olds,and the other a t of four-year-olds.Children who friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on the personality traits over time.Psychology expert Dr.Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.
The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits.A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person "like a dia".The study found that eing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cau people to be rude to tho around them.
The rearchers questioned 6，000 people on the socia龟板的功效与作用
l "climate" in their workplaces,which included offices,hotels and restaurants.They found 75 percent of tho who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year.And the study also suggests that merely eing other people being subjected to rudeness乒乓球发球
made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way.Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event,nding unkind emails,finding fault with others or failing to give prai.
Dr.Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment.She said better training could help to fight against the problem.
