Study Notes

Humanistic Psychoanalysis

  • People are alienated from nature and each other, yet they reason, imagine, and have foresight.
  • Self-awareness creates feelings of loneliness and isolation.
  • People try to unify with others and nature to escape these feelings.
  • Relatedness, transcendence, rootedness, sense of identity, and a frame of orientation are needed for reunion with nature.
  • Relatedness drives people to unite with others through love, submission, or power.
  • Transcendence is the human need to rise above passive existence and create/destroy.
  • Rootedness is the need for stable structure in life.
  • Identity gives a sense of self.
  • Frame of orientation is a consistent view of the world.
  • Basic anxiety is a sense of being alone.
  • Mechanisms for relieving anxiety include authoritarianism, conformity, and destructiveness.
  • Authoritarianism is the tendency to surrender individual independence for strength from outside sources.
  • Destructiveness seeks to eliminate others and arises from feelings of isolation.
  • Conformity is escaping feelings of isolation by adopting other people's desires.

Fromm's Human Needs

  • Positive components involve creativeness, love, and relatedness.
  • Negative components involve submission, destructiveness, and fixation.
  • The needs are rooted in our unique human attributes.
  • People respond in different ways to their needs based on these qualities.

Types of Escape

  • Conformity, where people give up their individuality.
  • Destructiveness, leading to a rejection of others.
  • Authoritarianism, the tendency to surrender personal independence.

Healthy People

  • Acquire a positive freedom, loving life (biophilia), and love of fellow people.
  • These elements are part of a growth syndrome.

Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development

  • Emphasizes psychosocial development across the lifespan.
  • Each stage presents a conflict to overcome through interaction with the environment.
  • Key stages include infancy (trust vs. mistrust), early childhood (autonomy vs. shame and doubt), play age (initiative vs. guilt) etc
  • Each stage has a positive outcome (strength) and a negative outcome (pathology)
  • The stages in his theory develop in a step-by-step process that builds on itself.

Maslow's Holistic Dynamic Theory

  • Motivation affects the entire person, and needs are complete, ongoing, unconscious, and applicable to everyone.
  • Needs are categorized according to a hierarchy, often unconscious, and include physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization.
  • Conative needs, aesthetic needs, cognitive needs, and neurotic needs affect the individual.
  • A person needs to fulfill one need level sufficiently before proceeding to another in this hierarchy.
  • Certain characteristics often arise in self-actualized people, including efficient perception, self-acceptance, etc.

Rogers's Person-Centered Theory

  • Developed by Carl Rogers, person-centered theory emphasizes the positive nature of humanity.
  • The formative tendency moves organisms to evolve from simple to more complex.
  • There is an actualization tendency.
  • The self-concept contains perceptions of the self and experiences.
  • Conditions of worth, rather than unconditional positive regard, negatively impact individuals.
  • Incongruence occurs when self-concept and organismic experiences differ, driving defenses like distortion and denial.

May's Existential Psychology

  • Existence precedes essence, emphasizing individual choices.
  • People are subjective and objective, and motivated towards important life questions.
  • People have equal amounts of freedom and responsibility.
  • Dasein (being-in-the-world) is the unity of people and their worldview; includes Umwelt (world of things), Mitwelt (world of people), and Eigenwelt (world of the self).
  • Care is the active opposite of apathy, a way of relating to the world of things, people, and the self.
  • Love is the delight in another person, and affirming their worth equally to your own.
  • Nonbeing or nothingness is the awareness of one's own possibility of nonexistence (including death or loss).
  • People face anxiety due to nonbeing and free choice.
  • Normal anxiety is proportionate to the individual's threat.

Eysenck, McCrae, & Costa's Trait & Factor Theories

  • Personality can be measured through correlational studies.
  • Eysenck suggested three main dimensions: extraversion/introversion, neuroticism/stability, and psychoticism/superego.
  • McCrae and Costa added the "Big Five" traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) to the model.
  • These models describe personality based on traits measured through factor analysis.
