Personality and socialisation
From Geography
'Personality and socialisation' is one of the four aspects of 'social action', distinguished by Nigel Thrift. This is an important component of contextual regional geography. This aspect considers the spatial components that deal with the constitution of personality (Werlen, 2009). A typical research project about this issue could be a research about the relationship between the port of Rotterdam (Netherlands) and the forming of an specific Rotterdam identity. The citizens of the city of Rotterdam are known for people who are hard working with a no-nonsense working culture. In a research you could find out whether these attitudes has supported the forming of a strong economic port as a symbole for these attitudes. Or could it be the other way round? Was it the port which supported the forming and creation of these attitudes?
