Abraham Maslow in the challenge of self actualization

Freud wrote that people are basically motivated to gratify biological drives and that their perceptions are distorted by the psychological needs. The humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow argued that people also had a conscious need for self actualization. Because people are unique, they must follow unique paths to self actualization. People are not at the mercy of unconscious, primitive impulses. Rather, the main thread to individual personality development is controlled by other people. We must each be free to get in touch with and actualize ourselves. But self actualization requires taking risks. Mini people are comfortable with the familiar.

The fire factor model also known as the big five model is fueling a great deal of research. CNMC constructed a questionnaire to measure the factors (the NEO5 factor inventory) in studies using the inventory our correlating scores on the five factors with various behavior patterns, psychological disorders, and kinds of personalities. Consider driving: significant negative correlations have been found between the numbers of traffic citations people receive in the absence they get into, on the other hand, in the factor of agreeableness on the other. In other words, it's safer to share the freeway with agreeable people. People who are not judge mental who will put up with your every whim tinder to score low on conscientiousness in high on agreeableness. Despite the stereotype that are older people, especially men, are crotchety assessments of 65 to 100-year-olds she just that people especially men become more agreeable as they grow older. Numerous studies find that political liberals tend to score higher on openness to experience whereas political conservatives tend to score higher on conscientiousness. Binge drinker's are likely to be higher in Neuroticism and extroversion but lower in conscientiousness then those who drink more moderately. People who have reported greater feelings of happiness and well being are likely to score more highly than other people on the scales that measure emotional stability agreeableness conscientiousness and extroversion. The author of the study suggest that happiness may be good for your personality

Erik erikson

Neo Freudian because he plays too much emphasis on sex. He believed that social relationships between a parent and a child are more important determinants of personality than sexual urges. He also believes that to a large extent we are the conscious architects of our own personalities. He is known for devising a comprehensive theory of personality development. But whereas Freud proposed stages of psychosexual development he proposed stages of psychosocial development. Rather than label stages of various zones , He labeled them for the traits that might be developed during the stages. The first stage of psychosocial development is labeled the stage of trust versus miss trust because two outcomes are possible: a warm loving relationship with the mother and others during infancy might lead to a sense of basic trust people in the world; or a cold and gratifying relationship with the mother and others might generate a general sense of miss trust. For him the goal of adolescence is the attainment of ego identity not genital sexuality. The focus is on who we see ourselves as being and what we stand for not as sexual interests

Biology and TRAITS

Researchers have also been investigating biological factors that are connected with, and Minnie rise to, personality traits. For example researchers estimate that the heritability of extroverted personality is 40% to 60%. Research suggests that brain levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine tend to be higher in extroverts and introverts. Researchers have also found evidence that genetic factors are part of a child's basic temperament and are involved in shyness and behavioral inhibition. The antisocial personality characterized by frequent conflict with society and lack of feelings of guilt or anxiety is the other side of the coin when it comes to personality.

Self-esteem and positive regard

Rogers assumes that we all develop a need for self regard, or self-esteem. At first, self-esteem reflects the esteem in which others hold us. Parents help children develop self-esteem when they show them unconditional positive regard. Rogers was optimistic about human nature. He believe that people are basically good, and that when they develop in the atmosphere of unconditional positive regard, they will become generous and loving not selfish. Bow and parent show children conditional positive regard that is children may develop conditions of worth. Therefore children may come to think That they have merit only if they behave as their parents wish them to behave. Because each individual has a unique potential, children to develop conditions of worth must be somewhat disappointed in themselves. They cannot fully live up to the wishes of others and be true to themselves. Children and some families learned that is bad to have ideas of the room, especially about sexual, political, or religious matters. When they perceive their caregivers disapproval, they come to see themselves as rebels and label their feelings are selfish, wrong, or evil. If they wish to retain a consistent self-concept and self-esteem, they may have to deny their feelings or disown parts of themselves. In this way, their self-concept becomes distorted. According to Rogers anxiety often stems from recognition that people have feelings and desires that are inconsistent with they are distorted self-concept. Because anxiety is unpleasant, people may deny the experience of their genuine feelings and desires. Writers believe that the path to self actualization requires getting in touch with our genuine feelings, excepting them, and acting on them. This is the goal of Rogers his method of psychotherapy, client centered therapy. Rogers also believe that we have mental images of what we are capable of becoming. These are termed self ideals. We are motivated to reduce the difference between our self concepts and our self ideals.

Evaluation of the TRAIT perspective

TRAIT theorist have focus much attention on the development of personality tests. They have also given rise to theories about the fit between personality and certain kinds of jobs. The qualities that suit a person for various kinds of work can be expressed in terms of abilities, personality traits, and interests. One limitation of trait theory is that it has tended to be more description then explanatory. It has historically focused on describing traits rather than on tracing their origins or seeking ways to modify maladaptive personality traits and behavior. Trait theory focused on enduring personality characteristics that were generally presume to be embedded in the nervous system. Learning theorist tend not to theorize in terms of traits. They focus instead on behaviors and presume that those behaviors are largely burned. That which is learned is also, in principle, capable of being on learned. As a result, learning theory and personality theory may not be a perfect fit. Nonetheless learning theorist both behavioralists and social cognitive theorist have contributed to the discussion of personality.

Social cognitive theory

Developed by Albert b, In contrast to behaviorism, which focuses on observable behavior in the situations in which behavior occurs, social cognitive theory focuses on learning by observation and on the cognitive process that underlie personal differences. Social cognitive theories differ from behaviorist in that they see people as influence their environment just as their environment affects them. Social cognitive theory is agreeing with behaviorist that discussions of human nature should be tied to observable behavior, but they assert their variables within people or personal variables, must also be considered if we are to understand people. Situational variables include rewards and punishments. Personal variables include knowledge and skills, ways of interpreting experience, expectancy's, emotions, and self regulatory systems and plans. We cannot predict behavior from situational variables alone. Whether a person will behave in a certain way also depends on the person's expectancy is about the outcome of the behavior and the perceived or subjective values of those outcomes. There are various kinds of expectancies. Some are predictions about what will follow what. For example, people might predict other peoples behavior on the basis of body language such as tight lips or shifty eyes. Self efficacy Expectations are beliefs that we can accomplish certain things, so she's doing a backflip into a swimming pool or solving math problems. People with positive self EFFIcacy expectations tend to have higher self-esteem and achievement motivation. Self Efficiency and drawing from five factor theory, Conscientiousness and emotional stability combine to make powerful predictors of academic success. Psychotherapy often motivate people to try new things by changing their self efficiency expectations from I can't to maybe I can

Behavioralism

The views of Watson and Skinner largely ignored the notions of personal freedom, choice, and self direction. Most of us assume that our once originate within us. Watson and Skinner suggested that environmental influence such as parental approval and social customs shape us into wanting certain things and not wanting others. In his novel Walden to skinner described a utopian society in which people are happy and content because they are allowed to do as they please. From early childhood however they have been trained or conditioned to be cooperative. Because of the reinforcement histories, they want to behave in decent kind in unselfish ways. They see themselves as free because society makes no effort to force them to behave in particular ways. The American poet Robert Frost wrote "you have freedom when you're easy in your harness". Society in Skinners Walden to make children easy in their harnesses but the harnesses were very real. Some object to behaviorist notions because theyPlay down the importance of consciousness and choice. Others argue that humans are not blindly ruled by reinforcers. In some circumstances, people have rebel against the so-called necessity of survival by choosing pain and hardship over pleasure, or death over life.
