Study Notes
Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory
- Deterministic view of human nature: Human behavior is driven by the unconscious, focusing on gaining pleasure and avoiding pain.
- Human as an energy system: Freud saw humans as motivated by energy, primarily from the unconscious (id).
-
Levels of mental life:
- Unconscious: Feelings, urges, and instincts below conscious awareness influencing actions.
- Preconscious: Memories and stored knowledge, not currently in awareness but accessible.
- Conscious: Awareness of immediate mental processes.
Structure of Personality
- Id: Present at birth, operates on the pleasure principle (seeking pleasure and avoiding pain), driven by basic sexual and aggressive urges.
- Ego: Develops rationally, operates on the reality principle, resolving conflict between the id and the external world.
- Superego: Partially unconscious, guides behavior based on moral principles (right vs. wrong), developed through internalization of societal values.
Psychosexual Stages
- Fixation: Failure to resolve a stage's needs can leave individuals entrenched in that stage's behaviours.
- Oral Stage (Birth-18 months): Pleasure from oral activities. Fixation can cause problems with substance abuse and oversensitivity.
- Anal Stage (18-3 years): Pleasure centers on bowel and bladder control. Fixation results in obsessive neatness or messiness.
- Phallic Stage (3-6 years): Focus on genital region and developing sexual awareness. Fixation linked with issues of self-importance and relationships.
- Latency Stage (6-11 years): Sexual impulses are dormant and repressed, interest shifts to play.
- Genital Stage (12 onwards): Full sexual maturation and directed sexual relationships developed.
Defense Mechanisms
- Repression: Unacceptable or painful thoughts are pushed out of conscious awareness.
- Denial: Refusal to acknowledge reality of a painful situation.
- Regression: Reverting to an earlier, less mature stage of behavior.
- Reaction Formation: Behaving in a way opposite of true feelings.
- Projection: Attributing own unacceptable urges onto others.
- Displacement: Redirecting emotions at a less threatening target.
Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development
- Sensorimotor Stage (Birth-2 years): Infants develop through senses and actions. Key is object permanence (understanding that objects still exist even when out of sight).
- Preoperational Stage (2-7 years): Children display symbolic thought, egocentrism, and lack conservation.
- Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): Logical thinking begins, understanding of conservation (quantity remains unchanged).
- Formal Operational Stage (11+ years): Abstract and theoretical thinking develops.
Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Stages
- Stages occur across the lifespan and involve social interactions, each one marked by an "ego crisis".
- Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 years): Developing trust in caregivers.
- Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years): Developing independence.
- Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years): Embarking on activities and goals.
- Industry vs. Inferiority(6-12 years): Mastering social and academic skills.
- Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years): Testing roles and developing a sense of self.
- Intimacy vs. Isolation (19-40 years): Forming intimate relationships.
- Generativity vs. Stagnation (40-65 years): Contributing to future generations and experiencing a sense of purpose.
- Integrity vs. Despair (65+ years): Reflecting on one's life and accepting its implications.
Lawrence Kohlberg's Moral Development Theory
- Preconventional Morality (Stages 1-2): Based on punishment and rewards.
- Conventional Morality (Stages 3-4): Based on conformity to social rules.
- Postconventional Morality (Stages 5-6): Based on universal ethical principles.
