Summary

In his influential text, William James (1890) devoted separate chapters to the self and to its habits. His chapter on the self focused on the malleability of self-views and the manner in which they are diverse, encompassing disparate aspects such as the material, social and spiritual selves. By contrast, his chapter on habits highlighted the ways in which an individual becomes more and more like a particular type of person, with a particular type of disposition, over time. Whether functional or dysfunctional, habits coalescence into personality traits, and these personality traits become relatively fixed by the age of thirty.
