Study Notes
Humanistic Perspective
- Emphasizes understanding the entire person, focusing on free will, self-efficacy, and self-actualization.
- Highlights the positive aspects of human behavior, rejecting the notion of helplessness due to unconscious forces.
- Influenced by Carl Rogers, who argued that people are inherently good with intrinsic desires for growth and a need for positive regard.
Self-Concept
- Refers to the overall image an individual has of themselves, shaped by personal perceptions and influenced by others.
- More stable in early life due to identity formation and self-discovery.
- Grows more detailed and organized in adulthood as individuals better understand themselves.
Components of Self-Concept
- Self-Image: The perception of oneself, may not accurately reflect reality; can lead to inflated or negative self-images.
- Self-Esteem: The value placed on oneself, influenced by comparisons with others and external feedback which can promote either positive or negative self-images.
- Ideal Self: The vision of who a person aspires to be, often differing from their current self-perception.
Congruence and Incongruence
- Congruence refers to the alignment between self-concept and reality, impacting emotional well-being.
Unconditional Positive Regard
- Complete acceptance and support given to an individual regardless of their actions or words; contrasts with conditional positive regard, where acceptance is based on meeting certain expectations.
Fully Functioning Person
- Describes someone who is aware of their feelings, capable of expressing emotions, and does not impose conditions of worth upon themselves. This person actively works towards self-actualization.
Abraham Maslow
- Developed Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a framework for understanding human motivation progressing from basic to higher-level needs.
- Proposed that human nature is more positive than previously thought, contrasting with Freud’s focus on pathology.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
- Organized as a pyramid consisting of five levels:
- Physiological Needs: Basic needs like food, water, air, and shelter that must be met first.
- Security Needs: Stability and protection needs that arise once physiological needs are satisfied.
- Need for Love: Desire for acceptance and establishing meaningful relationships after security is established.
- Need for Esteem: The need for self-respect and recognition from others, leading to feelings of self-worth.
- Self-Actualization: The pursuit of realizing one’s full potential, which is unique to each individual and driven by intrinsic motivation.
