Study Notes
Deficiency Motives
- Deficiency motives are inherent drives essential for maintaining physical or emotional homeostasis.
Psychosexual Development
- Freud proposed five stages of personality development characterized by the focus of the libido on different body parts.
- An inadequate childhood environment can result in fixation, leading to behaviors reflecting unresolved issues.
Psychosocial Development
- Erik Erikson formulated eight psychosocial stages of development, emphasizing the resolution of crises at each stage to achieve a healthy personality.
Freudian and Eriksonian Theories
- Freud focused on psychosexual development, while Erikson emphasized psychosocial interactions, integrating internal drives and cultural demands.
Eight Psychosocial Stages
- Birth to 1 year: Trust vs. Mistrust - Development of hope and trust.
- 1 to 3 years: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt - Development of will and self-care skills.
- 3 to 6 years: Initiative vs. Guilt - Development of purpose and goal organization.
- 6 to 12 years: Industry vs. Inferiority - Development of competence and cultural skills.
- 12 to 18 years: Identity vs. Role Confusion - Development of a unified sense of self and identity.
- 18 to 30 years: Intimacy vs. Isolation - Establishment of intimate relationships.
- 30 years to old age: Generativity vs. Stagnation - Focus on raising children and contributing to society.
- Old age: Integrity vs. Despair - Conducting a life review and achieving self-acceptance.
Learning Theories
- Learning theories suggest that development is shaped by experiential accumulation, aligning with John Locke's idea that children learn through their interactions with the environment.
- Infants repeat behaviors based on rewarding experiences, leading to behavioral learning.
Evolutionary Developmental Psychology
- Proposes that humans are genetically predisposed to learn and adapt, contradicting Locke's theory of the mind as a blank slate.
- Emphasizes the interaction of genetic traits and environmental factors in shaping intelligence, personality, and social behaviors.
Reinforcement
- Positive reinforcement increases the likelihood of repeating a behavior by adding a pleasant consequence.
- Negative reinforcement increases the likelihood of a behavior by removing an unpleasant condition, as evidenced by using cough syrup to alleviate coughing.
- The effectiveness of reinforcement is determined by its ability to increase the frequency of a specific behavior.
