Sumario:In this paper we propose the keys to a theory of personality from a behavioral perspective. It describes how, in the same context, each individual could generate consistent and idiosyncratic response tendencies. We analyze the characteristics of the contexts that generate personality. We argue that the individual synthesizes his own experience and updates it with what he has just learned, to act quickly, integrating what he has learned through verbal and non-verbal behaviors that are not always coherent. To predict individuals’ behaviors, we can study self-reports or behavioral trends. Finally, we will explain how the structure of personality can be understood from a behavioral approach by defining types of contexts and types of learning
