    Study Notes

    Carl Rogers' Humanistic Psychology

    • Individuals need an environment that fosters openness and self-disclosure to grow.
    • The fundamental human motivation is self-actualization, striving to reach one's full potential and achieve personal fulfillment.
    • Congruence, or balance, is essential. There must be harmony between the real self (who we are) and the ideal self (who we aspire to be).
    • The real self encompasses our actual traits, behaviors, beliefs, and experiences. It is shaped by our upbringing, environment, and life events.
    • The ideal self represents the version of ourselves we aspire to be, encompassing qualities, traits, and achievements we strive towards.

    Individualist vs. Collectivist Self

    • Individualist cultures emphasize personal goals, achievements, and autonomy, found commonly in Western societies.
    • Collectivist cultures emphasize the needs and goals of the group over personal desires, found in Eastern cultures.
    • Individualistic cultures prioritize individual rights, freedoms, and self-expression.
    • Collectivist cultures prioritize group cohesion, social harmony, and interdependence.
    • Individualistic self-concepts foster independence and autonomy.
    • Collectivist self-concepts foster interdependence, cooperation, and mutual support.
    • In Western cultures, individuals are encouraged to express opinions and pursue personal goals.
    • In Eastern cultures, individuals prioritize social obligations and responsibilities to maintain group harmony.

    The Physical Self and Body Image

    • The physical self refers to our body, including appearance and sensory experiences.
    • Body image encompasses how we perceive, think, and feel about our physical appearance.
    • Negative body image can lead to dissatisfaction, negative thoughts, and emotional distress.
    • Social comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy or pressure to conform to idealized body standards.
    • Eating disorders involve extreme behaviors related to food intake and weight control, often stemming from distorted body image perceptions.
    • Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) involves obsessive thoughts about perceived flaws or defects in one's appearance.
    • Avoidance behaviors involve avoiding situations, activities, or clothing that may highlight perceived flaws or trigger negative thoughts.

    The Economic and Material Self

    • Represents the extension of the physical self, viewing possessions as external representations of our identity.
    • Material possessions reflect tastes, preferences, and lifestyle choices, acting as tangible representations of our identity and personality.
    • They can serve as social signifiers of status, wealth, and success.
    • The Diderot Effect describes how acquiring one new item can trigger a cycle of buying more related items to maintain a sense of balance and identity.
    • Needs are essential for survival, including basic necessities like food, water, shelter, healthcare, and functional items.
    • Wants are not essential for survival, but they contribute to satisfaction, well-being, and fulfilling reasons like pleasure, convenience, or social status.

    The Spiritual Self: The Inner Soul

    • The spiritual self represents our inner essence or soul, transcending the physical body and material world.
    • It prioritizes self-love, love for others, and love for the world.
    • Transcendence involves connecting to something beyond the ordinary range of human experience.
    • Spiritual practices focus on personal growth and well-being, enhancing self-awareness, developing talents, and improving life quality.
    • Individuals may seek meaning and purpose in life by exploring existential questions about existence, suffering, and transcendence.
    • Values and beliefs shape our ethical behaviors, moral decisions, and spiritual growth.
    • Religions offer a set of beliefs, practices, and rituals followed by a group of people.
    • They typically involve faith in a higher power, moral teachings about the afterlife, the purpose of life, structured organizations for worship and community engagement.

    Spirituality in Various Religions

    • Hinduism: Emphasizes the eternal Atman (self), which is identical to the ultimate reality, Brahman. Reincarnation (samsara) involves experiencing the consequences of actions (karma) and seeking liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death.
    • Buddhism: Views the self as impermanent and devoid of inherent existence. The concept of Anatta (non-self) highlights the ever-changing aggregates (skandhas) that compose the self.
    • Christianity: The self is created in the image of God, possessing inherent dignity and worth.
    • Islam: The self (nafs) is created by Allah and endowed with free will and moral responsibility. The goal is submission to Allah's will (Islam) and spiritual purity (tazkiyah).
    • Filipino Beliefs: Early Ilokano beliefs state that there are four souls animating the body. The kararwa (main soul) is vital and remains after death. The karkarma (second soul) can leave when frightened and symbolizes natural vigor and reason. The aniwaas (third soul) leaves during sleep. The ar-aria (fourth soul) is the liberated soul of the dead.
