Psychology Overview

Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior, thought, and emotions.
Key topics include brain function, memory organization, group dynamics, and child learning.
It encompasses all aspects relevant to human existence.

Self-Theory

Humans naturally develop theories about themselves, both individually and collectively, to derive meaning from their existence.

William James: I-Self and Me-Self

I-Self: The subjective self, the consciousness aware of its actions and continuous existence.
- Sense of agency and impact on the environment.
- Awareness of individuality and uniqueness.
Me-Self: The objective self, described through empirical aspects.
- Comprises material (appearance, home), social (interpersonal skills), and spiritual (character, values) dimensions.

Self-Models

Gestalt: Emphasizes the whole being greater than its parts.
Phenomenological/Realistic (Humanistic): Views individuals as total, inseparable persons.
Psychoanalytic Model: Divides psyche into id, ego, and superego.
Trait Theory: Analyzes personality through identified traits.
Domain Theory: Splits self into physical, emotional, behavioral, spiritual, and moral domains.

Carl Rogers: Real vs Ideal Self

Rogers, a key figure in humanistic psychology, developed the concept of the actualizing tendency, indicating a drive toward self-fulfillment.
Ideal Self: The aspirational version of oneself, shaped by personal experiences and social perceptions.
Real Self: The authentic individual, reflecting current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
High alignment between real and ideal selves results in congruence, fostering mental well-being and self-worth.

Multiple vs Unified Self

Multiple Self: Acknowledges varying identities based on context and roles, suggesting fluidity in self-perception.
Unified Self: Advocates for a consistent, cohesive identity integrating diverse experiences.

Components of Self

Experiential Self: The consciousness experiencing being, closely linked to memory.
Private Self: The narrating aspect that interprets personal experiences, also called the autobiographical self.
Public Self/Persona: The projected image presented to others, influencing perceptions.

True vs False Self

True Self: Authentic identity representing genuine feelings and thoughts.
False Self: A façade adopted to impress others, often concealing the true self, which can change depending on situational contexts.

Self as Proactive and Agentic

Albert Bandura proposed that humans act as proactive agents in their experiences, embodying the ability to influence outcomes.
Agency encompasses personal capabilities, belief systems, and self-regulatory functions.
Key features of agency include:
- Intentionality: Deliberate actions and goal setting.
- Forethought: Anticipation of potential consequences and outcomes.
