Study Notes
Personality Perspectives
- Psychoanalytic Perspective: Personality develops early in life, primarily through unconscious processes, and shaped by instinctual drives. This includes Freud's levels of awareness (conscious, preconscious, and unconscious); psychosexual stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital); and personality structures (id, ego, and superego).
- Neo-Freudian Perspectives: Acknowledge the unconscious's role in personality but place less emphasis on sexuality and aggression. Emphasize the importance of social relationships, the sense of self, and the need for belonging. Notable figures include Carl Jung (collective unconscious and archetypes), Alfred Adler (inferiority complex and birth order), and Karen Horney (basic anxiety).
- Trait Approach: Identifies and measures stable personality characteristics that influence behavior. Includes Allport's concept of cardinal, central, and secondary traits; Cattell's 16PF factor analysis; Eysenck's three dimensions (introversion-extraversion, neuroticism-stability, and psychoticism-normality); and the Big Five personality traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism).
Social Cognitive Approach
- Reciprocal determinism: Personality influenced by the interaction of behavior, personal or cognitive factors, and the environment.
- Locus of control: Beliefs about the control over our lives. Internal locus of control indicates a belief in personal control, while external locus of control suggests that outside forces are primarily responsible.
Humanistic Approach
- Self-Actualization: The process of fulfilling one's potential, reaching a state of wholeness and personal growth. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory emphasizes the importance of satisfying basic needs before striving for higher-level needs, including self-actualization.
- Carl Rogers: Emphasized the importance of a positive self-concept and unconditional positive regard in fostering self-actualization.
Measuring Personality
- Personality Inventories: Self-report questionnaires designed to measure personality traits, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and California Psychological Inventory (CPI)
- Projective Tests: Ambiguous images or stimuli presented to individuals to project their unconscious thoughts and feelings, including the Rorschach Inkblot Test and Thematic Apperception Test (TAT).
- Rating Scales: Checklists that assess personality characteristics through responses to statements or questions.
- Direct Observation: Observing and recording behaviors in various situations to assess personality.
- Clinical Interviews: In-depth conversations with individuals to gather information about their history, experiences, and personality.
