Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Personality is influenced by self-perceptions, which are a person's beliefs about their own characteristics and abilities. Advertising, marketers, and sales pitches may attempt to influence a person's self-perceptions or behavior, but they do not directly impact their underlying personality traits. Diet can have some indirect effects on personality by affecting mood and other physiological factors, but it is not a primary influence.
