trusted,  having  a  good  vision  to  reach  their  future,  realistic,  and  having  a  stable emotion.  Nevertheless,  the  rejection  style  will  generate  children  whose
characteristics are aggressive, submissive, silent, sadistic, and difficult to socialize Yusuf, 2010. The rejected children will have regular and pleasing facial feature,
their eyes are “soulful” and seem to express deep and desperate experience, paired with a resignation which children should not have Erikson, 1950. Furthermore,
this conviction has the less explicit outcome that the child has been in the wrong hands, and in fact has every reason to mistrust his “rejecting” parents.
The third factor is the social and economic class of family. There are three things  in  this  factor.  First,  the  lower  class  family  is  often  to  use  physical
punishment  to  educate  their  children.  This  technique  generates  children  whose characteristics  are  aggressive,  independent  and  having  early  sexual  experience.
Second, the middle-class family gives attention and control to their children. They feel responsible for their chi
ldren’s development. They have the ambition to reach the  better  status  and  push  their  children  to  achieve  the  status  by  education  and
professional training. Third, the high-class family tends to make use of their down time to do certain activities. They have a higher reputation of education and love
to develop their skill in art. Their children are usually having high self-esteem and tend to manipulate realistic aspects.
2 External Aspect
Another important aspect which influences the development of children’s personality  is  the  external  aspect.  This  aspect  comes  up  from  the  outside  of  the

children. The external  aspect  is  social intervention. Since the social aspect  is the aspect which comes from the outside of the children and their family, this aspect
may  seem  less  important  yet  may  give  a  big  impact.  This  aspect  has  a  relation with  the  self-consciousness  of  the  children.  For  the  first  time,  children  will  be
attracted to  anything new in  their social life that they do not  find in  their family life;  differentiation  of  persons  and  objects.  McDougall  1960  says  that  as  the
differentiation  of  persons  and  inert  objects,  persons  continue  to  be  the  more interesting  to  the  young  child,  for  they  continue  to  be  the  main  sources  of  his
pains,  pleasures,  and  satisfactions.  His  attention  is  constantly  directed  towards them, and he begins to imitate their behaviour.
There  is  another factor that  generates the personality of  children which is how  the  society  treats  them.  Boys  and  girls  are  socialized  differently  to  some
extent  in  all  societies.  They  receive  different  messages  from  their  parents  and other adults as to what is appropriate for them to do in life. They are encouraged
to prepare for their future in jobs fitting their gender. Boys are more often allowed freedom  to  experiment  and  to  participate  in  physically  risky  activities.  Girls  are
encouraged to learn how to do domestic tasks and to participate in child rearing by baby-sitting.  If  children  do  not  follow  these  traditional  paths,  they  are  often
labelled as marginal or even deviant. Girls may be called tomboys and boys may be  ridiculed  for  not  bein
g  sufficiently  masculine  O’Neil,  2006.  If  children experience and listen to  the social opinion regularly, it is not impossible that the
treatment from the society will define the personality of the children. Since then, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
