Study Notes
Rise of Empiricism
- Empiricism asserts knowledge comes solely from sensory experiences and interactions.
- David Hume views the self as a collection of impressions and ideas, positioning the self as transient and constructed from experience.
Components of the Soul (Plato)
- Plato identifies three soul components:
- Rational Soul: Responsible for intellect and reason.
- Spirited Soul: Manages emotions and feelings.
- Appetitive Soul: Contains basic desires like hunger and pleasure.
Personal Identity and Imagination
- Personal identity is derived from imagination and perception rather than a permanent essence.
- Hume's perspective: "There is no Self" - advocating that what we perceive as a self is continually changing.
Philosophical Contributions
- St. Augustine integrates Christian thought with Platonic philosophy.
- John Locke, known as the Father of Liberalism, emphasizes memory as key to personal identity across time.
- Locke identifies two facets of the self: "I" (the active self) and "Me" (the learned self).
Cultural Influence on Self-Perception
- Richard Shweder highlights that cultural traditions shape human psyche and self-perception.
- Culture influences perceptions of relationships, emotions, values, and conceptions of success.
Anthropology and Self-Construction
- Anthropology examines how cultural contexts define personal identity.
- Two main self-construction types:
- Independent Construct: Emphasizes individuality, typical of Western cultures.
- Interdependent Construct: Highlights communal connections, prevalent in collectivist cultures.
Developmental Psychology
- Psychology studies behavior and mental processes, examining developmental stages across life.
- Piaget's stages of cognitive development:
- Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years): Focused on interaction and sensory experiences.
- Preoperational Stage (2-7 years): Characterized by egocentrism and difficulty with conservation concepts.
- Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): Transition to logical thinking, understanding of perspectives and self-comparison.
Adolescent and Emerging Adult Development
- Adolescents (12-18 years) define self by abstract qualities and emotional characteristics.
- Emerging adults (18+) explore possibilities, shaping a "possible self."
Gordon Allport and Personality Traits
- Allport emphasizes the existence of multiple selves and personality traits:
- Central Traits: Core characteristics defining personality.
- Secondary Traits: Less consistent traits that may not define an individual.
- Cardinal Traits: Dominant traits shaping one's life.
Humanistic Psychology
- Carl Rogers emphasizes the unity of consciousness and actualizing tendency, striving for personal potential.
- Eric Berne's Transactional Analysis Model categorizes interactions into ego states:
- Parent: Authority and conditioned responses.
- Child: Emotional reactions to experiences.
- Adult: Rational thought and independent decision-making.
The Self in Psychological Constructs
- Gregg Henrique proposes three domains of the self: Experiential Self, Private Self, and Public Self (Persona).
