1) The features of Henrys personality are determined differently depending on the psychological perspective preserved.

If you take a psychodynamic perspective, it is believed that Henry will be undergoing frustration, conflict and anxiety. Theses inner conflicts are a way for children to maturely develop themselves. In Henrys first few years of life he will go through a series of pchycosexual stages, in which sexual energy takes different forms as the child matures.(544) Henry as a baby will most likely be in an oral stage in which he experiences the world in his mouth. If Henry does not pass this stage then he will continue to be clingy and overly attached in the years to come. It all comes down to the stages that Henrys pchycosexual graph meets. However, this is Freuds school of thought in psychodynamics, if you take a Jungian perspective then the object-relation theory explains how depending on Henrys attachment to the mother/fathers, it will affect the overall personality of his life. In the humanistic approach, it is believed that Henry has to go through stages like Maslows higharcy of needs and if Henry does not past though stages then it can affect his perspective on life such as not striving to complete the self or nihilistic philosophies. With the humanistic approach it emphasize our uniquely human capacity to determine our own actions and futures. (569) Henrys life will depend on his own interpretation of the world. In the social-cognitive perspective they, recognize that people have a core set of stable traits and that their behaviour can very across situations (559). Henry personality will be determined by who he is associated to and how much they influence him. 2)
Depending of what perspective you take, you will have different strong influenceing factors that will determine Henrys perspective. If you take the

psychodynamic perspective, then the belief is that the strongest influences of Henrys life is the relationship between the parents, especially the mother because Henry would have sexual attraction towards the mother. With the object-relation theory it is believe that parents do play a large role. According to object-relations theory, a baby constructs unconscious representations of his or her parents that will influence the childs relations with others throughout life. (547) Another strong influence of Henry personality is how he regulates the relation of Id, Ego and super ego. In the humantic perspective family relation plays a strong influence. Depending on that, it will influence his motivation to succeed and to achieve. Other strong influence is free will and his perception on life. Through free will he has the ability to choose to be kind or unkind in his environment. In the sociocognitive perspective, it takes a large consideration that the perspective of the environment and social media and how the media influences Henry and his personality. It also takes in mind the parenting aspect. Parental child-rearing practices are the strongest influence (560). Another factor is the cultures, values and traits of a society. Since Henry was born in a western nation it would most likely follow an individualistic approach in his life, this will influence his treatment of people and his perception of justice.

What can Henry do to change aspects of his personality?

3)

Depending on your perspective of the 3 psychological approach different things can occur to change aspects of his personality. If you take the psychodynamic perspective then in the psychosexual stage can affect the child because if Henry does not progress then it changes aspects of his personality. Also, if he loses the mother then the tension between the father stops because there is no female sexual figure present. On the humanistic perspective on of the things that could pentually change Henry personality is the raidial chage of free will. If he is put into a much more totalertarian state then he would have little to no free will. This would affect Henrys personality because now he has lost the ability to make decisions for himself. The last one is socio-cognitive perspective which, the change in enviorment change apsects of his personality such as a departure from one country to another, his environment is changed and mostly social media is somewhat different. There will be different sources of information that will play a strong role in Henrys life and then he may change in some aspect of his perception on life which overall change his personality.
