Answer: Learning theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The learning theory believes that humans gain a personality based on the activities they come into contact with in the external environment. This is then coupled with internal responses born from previous experiences to create a behavioral characteristic.

For instance, a boy keeps hearing his father talk about what it means to be a man and internalizes this such that he tries to act like he thinks a man should act in a situation.
