| Exercise 51. Translate the following text from English into Russian.
Personality, deeply ingrained and relatively enduring patterns of thought,
feeling, and behaviour. Personality usually refers to that which is unique about
a person, the characteristics that distinguish him or her from other people.
Thought, emotion, and behaviour as such do not constitute a personality,
which is, rather, the dispositions that underlie these elements. Personality implies
predictability about how a person will act or react under different circumstances.
Theorists emphasize different aspects of personality and disagree about its
organization, development, and manifestation in behaviour. One of the most
influential theoretical systems is the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud
and his followers. Freud believed that unconscious processes direct a great part
of a person’s behaviour. Although a person is unaware of these impulses and
drives, they strive to assert themselves. Another influential theory of personality
is derived from behaviourism. This view places primary emphasis on learning.
It sees human behaviour as determined largely by its consequences. If rewarded,
behaviour recurs; if punished, it is less likely to recur.
