Study Notes
Theories of Personality
- This document details different theories of personality, including Erik Erikson's, Abraham Maslow's, Carl Rogers', and Rollo May's.
- Various perspectives on personality development and the driving forces behind behavior are explored.
Erik Erikson's Post-Freudian Theory
- Built upon Freudian theory, focusing on social and historical influences, and life-cycle approach to personality.
- Views the ego as a positive force, crucial for self-identity and adaptation to life’s challenges within social structures.
- Key concepts include Ego Development, Three Interrelated Aspects, and Conflicts of Opposites.
Abraham Maslow's Holistic-Dynamic Theory
- Assumes the whole person is motivated by various needs, continually striving for self-actualization, considered a state of psychological health and growth.
- The theory describes a hierarchical structure of needs: physiological, safety, belongingness and love, esteem, and self-actualization.
- Individuals must first satisfy lower-level needs before progressing to higher ones.
Carl Rogers' Person-Centered Theory
- Emphasizes human potential and self-actualization.
- Key concepts include positive regard (need for love and acceptance), positive self-regard (independent of others), and congruence (internal experience matches expressed behavior).
- Key conditions for growth are congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy.
- Focuses on fostering personal growth and self-fulfillment.
Rollo May's Existential Psychology
- Emphasizes freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning in life, emphasizing individual choice and the inherent human condition of confronting anxiety, guilt and existential questions.
- Key concepts include Intentionality, Care, Love, Will, Freedom, and Destiny.
- Views personality as a continuous process of developing and taking responsibility for the choices that shape one's existence.
Trait and Factor Theories
- Focus on identifying and measuring underlying personality traits (e.g., the Big Five [OCEAN], Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness).
- Cattell's work and his 16 personality factors are highlighted.
- Eysenck's three primary traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and psychoticism).
- McCrae and Costa's Five-Factor Model (FFM) is described in further detail, including its key components, criteria to identify personality factors, and specific characteristics or aspects associated with the "Big Five" personality traits.
