    Study Notes

    Bandura's Reciprocal Determinism

    • Bandura's Reciprocal Determinism describes how cognitive factors, environment, and behavior affect each other.
    • The self-system, a set of cognitions, observes and evaluates external stimuli. It helps regulate behavior in various situations.
    • Bandura believed that personality is the product of the constant interaction between environment, behavior and thoughts. This is called reciprocal determinism.
    • Choices about environments and attributions, goals, values, and perceptions influence behavior and how we think.
    • Behavior influences the environment as well as our thinking processes.
    • Self-efficacy is a critical cognitive element in this interaction. It is an individual's expectation of success in different situations.

    Defense Mechanisms

    • Defense mechanisms are unconscious mental processes that mask anxiety and disguise the source of tension.
    • Sublimation involves channeling unacceptable impulses into socially acceptable activities.
    • Reaction formation is expressing the opposite of unacceptable thoughts or desires.
    • Displacement involves shifting unwanted feelings from a threatening person to a less threatening person.
    • Rationalization is creating a seemingly acceptable explanation for behavior instead of admitting the true cause.
    • Repression is removing threatening impulses from conscious awareness.

    Id/Ego/Superego

    • The id operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification of desires and needs. It operates completely unconsciously, without any direct contact with the external world or conscious awareness.
    • The ego operates on the reality principle. It balances the id's demands with the demands of reality to satisfy the id's needs in a realistic way.
    • The superego represents internalized societal and parental standards of morality and judgment.

    Objective vs. Projective Personality assessment

    • Projective techniques present ambiguous stimuli. Individuals reveal their needs, feelings, experiences, and thought processes through their interpretations.
    • Objective assessments utilize standardized questions to test personality traits, comparing responses to established norms.

    Key Personality Traits

    • Openness- individuals' desire for creativity, intelligence, diversity, and new ideas.
    • Conscientiousness - individuals' carefulness, orderliness, responsibility, reliability and self-control.
    • Extraversion – individuals' sociability, assertiveness, activity, and outgoing nature.
    • Agreeableness - individuals' kindness, trustworthiness, helpfulness, and cooperation.
    • Neuroticism – individuals' calmness, stability, and tendency to experience emotional distress and irritability.

    Humanistic Theories (Carl Rogers)

    • Humanistic theories focus on self-actualization – the drive to develop one's potential.
    • Congruence (genuineness and authenticity) is crucial in therapy. Matching words and nonverbal behavior is important for success.
    • Rogers believed that providing acceptance and unconditional positive regard could help clients to achieve self-actualization and a healthier sense of identity.

    Rotter's Social Learning Perspective

    • Internal locus of control – the belief that one has influence over events in one's own life.
    • External locus of control – the belief that external factors determine the course of one's life.

    Chapter 14: Psychological Disorders

    • Dissociative identity disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states.
    • Other dissociative disorders involve disruptions in memory, emotions, identity, perception, or behavior.
    • Bipolar disorders involve extreme fluctuations in mood.
    • Schizophrenia is characterized by various symptoms that interfere with thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors.

    Treatment of Psychological Disorders

    • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps modify maladaptive thoughts and beliefs.
    • Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences.
    • Humanistic therapy emphasizes personal growth and self-actualization.

    Mental Health Professionals

    • Psychiatrists- physicians with specialized training in mental health.
    • Psychologists- experts in psychology, usually with a doctorate.
    • Psychiatric nurses- nurses with advanced training in mental health conditions.
    • Social workers- mental health professionals with a masters degree.
    • Clinical social workers, therapists, counselors- Masters-level professionals trained to provide mental health treatment

    Other Key Terms

    • Mental disorders are deviations from the norm.
    • Diagnosis involves the identification of specific mental disorders.
