    Study Notes

    Psychodynamic Theories

    • Personality comprises an organized set of characteristics influencing thoughts, feelings, and social adjustments.
    • Human behavior encompasses a range of actions and reactions to stimuli, including observable behavior and internal processes.
    • Social functioning involves meeting role expectations and relates people's activities with environmental demands.
    • Motivation refers to desires and intensity of wants; capacity focuses on internal resources for problem-solving.
    • Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Erik Erikson, Alfred Adler, Karen Horney, and Erich Fromm are key figures in psychodynamic theories.

    Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalysis

    • Freud established psychoanalysis as foundational for later psychodynamic theories.
    • Introduced the Models of the Mind: Id (instincts), Ego (self), and Superego (conscience).
    • Mind levels include:
      • Conscious: present thoughts and feelings.
      • Preconscious: accessible memories.
      • Unconscious: hidden instincts and desires driving behavior.
    • Key concepts include birth trauma, fixation, and repressed memories.

    Freud’s Psychosexual Development Stages

    • Oral Stage (0-1 years): Focus on oral activities; failure can lead to dependency issues.
    • Anal Stage (1-3 years): Focus on toilet training; can lead to control issues.
    • Phallic Stage (3-6 years): Identifies with parents leading to Oedipus and Electra complexes.
    • Latent Stage (6-puberty): Focus on relationships and hobbies, with libido suppression.
    • Genital Stage (puberty-death): Focus on mature sexual intimacy and balance.

    Defense Mechanisms

    • Serve to protect the ego from anxiety and prevent psychological distress.
    • Types include:
      • Repression: pushing unwanted thoughts into the unconscious.
      • Denial: refusing to acknowledge reality.
      • Projection: attributing one’s unacceptable feelings to others.
      • Displacement: redirecting emotional responses to a substitute target.
      • Regression: reverting to earlier behaviors for stress relief.
      • Rationalization: justifying behaviors with logical reasons.

    Carl Jung's Contributions

    • Introduced concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes.
    • Focused on individual’s drive for self-realization through balance.

    Erik Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development

    • Eight stages define critical psychosocial crises throughout life:
      • Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year)
      • Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years)
      • Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)
      • Industry vs. Inferiority (7-11 years)
      • Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years)
      • Intimacy vs. Isolation (19-29 years)
      • Generativity vs. Stagnation (30-64 years)
      • Ego Integrity vs. Despair (65 and above)

    Behaviorist Theories

    • Emphasize the role of the environment in shaping behavior.
    • Key figures include Jean Piaget (cognitive development) and B.F. Skinner (operant conditioning).

    Humanistic Theories

    • Focus on individual potential and self-actualization.
    • Prominent theorists include Abraham Maslow (hierarchy of needs) and Carl Rogers (client-centered therapy).

    Determinants of Behavior

    • Major determinants include heredity, environment, and training.
    • Factors may be influenced by legal or cultural frameworks.

    Social Deviance

    • Defined as behaviors or traits disapproved of by society generating condemnation.
    • Deviant behavior does not conform to social norms leading to negative reactions.

    Types of Deviance

    • Primary Deviance: Initial norm violations without altering self-image.
    • Secondary Deviance: Result of society labeling actions as deviant, leading to a change in self-identity.

    Views of Social Deviance

    • Deviance is relative and evolves based on cultural and situational contexts.
    • Normative and reactive perspectives exist; normative views focus on societal definitions of right and wrong.

    Subcultural Theories of Deviance

    • Albert Cohen’s theory suggests that working-class youth form subcultures as reactions to status frustration.
    • Cloward & Ohlin propose that different subcultures (criminal, conflict) emerge based on available opportunities and societal structure.

    This summary encapsulates key concepts from psychodynamic theories and approaches to personality development, behavioral theories, and social deviance, setting a comprehensive foundation for further exploration in these areas.### Retreatist Subculture

    • Individuals unable to access legitimate or illegitimate opportunities may disengage completely.
    • Examples include escapism and prostitution.

    Differential Opportunity Theory

    • Successful criminal behavior arises when legitimate means are unattainable, and deviance becomes appealing due to easier access to illegitimate opportunities.

    Anomie and Strain Theory

    • Anomie reflects the breakdown of social norms during rapid social change.
    • Strain theory focuses on the gap between societal goals and means, leading to deviance.

    Social Disorganization Theory

    • Crime is more prevalent in communities with weak social ties and lack of control.

    Conflict Theory

    • Social order is upheld through power dynamics rather than consensus.
    • The elite class (bourgeoisie) dominates the working class (proletariat), influencing crime and deviance.

    Symbolic Interactionism

    • Meaning derives from social interactions and shared symbols.
    • Differential association highlights how life choices are shaped by peer groups.

    Social Control Theory

    • Social norms and institutions regulate behavior through formal (government-enforced) and informal (social interactions) means.
    • Commitment, involvement, and belief in societal norms contribute to an individual's adherence to rules.

    Deterrence Theory

    • Effective deterrence is based on the swiftness, certainty, and severity of punishment.

    Techniques of Neutralization

    • Offenders rationalize their actions through denial of responsibility, injury, and victim, as well as condemnation of condemners and appeals to higher loyalties.

    Labeling Theory

    • Identity is shaped by societal labeling; retrospective and projective labeling can affect perception of past and future actions.

    Feminist Theory

    • Crime rates and types are viewed through a gender lens, highlighting disparities and oppression.
    • Waves of feminism advocate for various aspects of women's rights and equality.
