Personality a person’s pattern of thinking, feeling and acting
Psychoanalyze Yourself Read the following questions, imagining the scenes in your mind, and write down the FIRST thing that you visualize. Do not think about the questions excessively. 1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who are you walking with? 2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal is it? 3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal? 4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing and before you is your dream house. Describe its size? 5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence? 6. You enter the house. You walk to the dining area and see the dining room table. Describe what you see on AND around the table. 7. You exit the house through the back door. Lying in the grass is a cup. What material is the cup made of? 8. What do you do with the cup?
This has been a relational psychology test. The answers given to the questions have been shown to have a relevance to values and ideals that we hold in our personal lives. The analysis follows: 1. The person who you are walking with is the most important person in your life. 2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems. 3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems. (passive/aggressive) 4. The size of your dream house is representative of the size of your ambition to resolve your problems. 5. No fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not to drop by unannounced. 6. If your answer did not include food, people, or flowers, then you are generally unhappy. 7. The durability of the material with which the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship with the person named in number 1. For example, Styrofoam, plastic, and paper are all disposable, Styrofoam, paper and glass are not durable, and metal and plastic are durable. 8. Your disposition of the cup is representative of your attitude towards the person in number
Psychoanalytic Theory of Personality crash course khanacademy • Sigmund Freud • Idea of the Libido moving to different parts of our body • Stages of Psycho-Sexual Development 1. Oral 2. Anal 3. Phallic 4. Latent 5. Genital What’s on our minds!!!
Freud’s View of Consciousness • Conscious- things we are aware of right now • Preconscious- things we can be aware of if we wanted to be • Unconscious- deep hidden reservoir that holds the true “us”; all of our desires and fears
Freud’s Concept of Personality (Psyche) • Id • Ego • Superego
Id • Exists entirely in the unconscious (so we are never aware of it) • Our hidden true animalistic wants and desires • Works on the Pleasure Principle – avoid pain and receive instant gratification
Ego • Develops after the Id • Works on the Reality Principle • Negotiates between the Id, the environment, and Superego • In our conscious and unconscious minds • It is what everyone sees as our personality
Superego • Develops last; about age 5 • It is our conscience (tells us the difference between right and wrong) • The Ego often mediates between the Superego and Id.
Defense Mechanisms • The Ego protects us from threatening thoughts in our unconscious ØDefense Mechanisms o Our conscious self is usually unaware of the use of defense mechanisms
Richard is dating Jasmine dumps Richard and starts dating Andrew Richard Jasmine
Repression • Pushing thoughts into our unconscious • When asked about Jasmine, Richard may say “Who? , I have not thought about her for awhile. ” • Why don’t we remember our Oedipus and Electra complexes?
Denial • Not accepting the ego-threatening truth. • Richard may act like he is still together with Jasmine. He may hang out by her locker and plan dates with her.
Displacement • Redirecting one’s feelings toward another person or object. • Often displaced on less threatening things • Richard may take his anger/frustration out on another kid by bullying
Projection • Believing that the feelings one has toward someone else are actually held by the other person and directed at oneself. • Richard insists that Jasmine still cares for him.
Reaction Formation • Expressing the opposite of how one truly feels • Cootie stage in Freud’s Latent Development • Richard claims he hates Jasmine.
Regression • Returning to an earlier, comforting form of behavior. • Richard begins to sleep with his favorite childhood stuffed animal.
Rationalization • Coming up with a beneficial result of an undesirable situation • Richard thinks he will find a better girlfriend. “Jasmine was not all that great anyway!” • “I really didn’t want to go to _______ anyway, it was too ____. ”
Intellectualization • Undertaking an academic, unemotional study of a topic. • Richard starts doing a research paper on failed teenage romances.
Sublimation • Channeling one’s frustration toward a different goal. • Sometimes a healthy defense mechanism • Richard learns how to play the guitar and writes songs (or starts to body build).
Criticisms of Freud • He really only studied wealthy woman in Austria. • His results are not empirically verifiable (really hard to test). • No predictive power • Scientific/research problems with defense mechanisms (i. e. repression)
Neo-Freudian Psychodynamic Theories • Carl Jung - concept of the “collective” unconscious (a common reservoir of memory traces). • Alfred Adler - studied superiority and inferiority (inferiority complex). • Karen Horney - said Freud was sexist and countered “penis envy” with “womb envy”; childhood anxiety triggers desire for love and security
Psychoanalysis, Past & Present • Hypnosis • Dream Interpretation • Free Association (having patients talk to themselves…and then interpreting the conversation) • Projective Tests (tests that delve into the unconscious) ü Examples are TAT and Inkblot Tests.
TAT Test (Thematic Apperception Test) • Give the subject a picture that is ambiguous (can have several meanings) and ask him what is occurring. • His answers are the manifest content, supposedly revealing the latent content.
Rorschach Inkblot Test • The most widely used projective test • A set of ten inkblots designed to identify people’s inner feelings, thoughts, etc • Subjects are asked to interpret what they see in the inkblots.
Humanistic Psychology Khan academy • In the 1960’s people became sick of Freud’s negativity, trait psych’s objectivity, and behaviorist psych’s determinism. • Along came psychologists who wanted to focus on “healthy” people and how to help them strive to “be all that they can be”. • Key Figures: A. Maslow / C. Rogers
Humanistic Personality Theory • Rejects determinism (your actions are dictated by your past). • Humans have free will (ability to choose their own destiny). • Humans are innately good and as long as their self-esteem and self-concept are positive, they will be happy.
Abraham Maslow Khan academy • Hierarchy of Needs • Humans ultimately seek selfactualization (the process of fulfilling our potential; becoming our ideal self).
Carl Rogers • The objective of humans is to become selfactualized. • Compared human potential to that of acorns • For Humans to “grow” they need: • Genuineness • Acceptance (Unconditional Positive Regard) • Empathy
Criticism of Humanistic Psychology • Reflects Western Cultural Values • Extreme Individualism leads to Narcissism • Fails to Account for Immense Evil (People are basically good? )
Trait Theory of Personality • Describe people’s personalities by specifying their main characteristics (traits – patterns of behavior or disposition to feel/act). • Traits like honesty, laziness, ambition, outgoing are thought to be stable over the course of your lives. • Often use Personality Inventories (Factor Analysis is used to cluster items and score personality “tests”. • First developed by Gordon Allport (interviewed Freud).
Trait Theory of Personality • MMPI – Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – most widely researched/used trait personality inventory • Introversion-Extroversion/Emotional Stability Scale (Eysenck) • BIG FIVE Personality Traits: 1. Extraversion (how outgoing or shy one is) 2. Agreeableness (how easy to get along with one is) 3. Conscientiousness (hardworking, responsible, organized) 4. Openness to Experience (creativity, curiosity, etc. ) 5. Emotional Stability (Neuroticism; consistency of mood) Ø OCEAN or CANOE
Trait Theory Criticism Khan academy • Person-Situation Controversy – while there’s been some evidence of persistence of traits with age, they seem to vary by situation and circumstance • Consistency of Expressive Style – some traits seem more easily judged or pervasive than others
Social-Cognitive Personality Theories Khan Academy • Focus on how we interact with our culture and environment • Albert Bandura ü Reciprocal Determinism (traits, environment, and behavior all interact and influence each other to form personality)
Social-Cognitive Personality Theories • Rotter - “Locus of Control” – External – Internal • Seligman - “Learned Helplessness”, Optimism, & Positive Psychology
Martin Seligman (1942 • American psychologist • Proponent of positive psychology • song )
Behaviorist Perspective on Personality Theories Khan Academy • The way most people think of personality is meaningless. • Personality changes according to the environment (reinforcers and punishments). • If you change environment then you change the personality.
Biological Perspective on Personality Theories • What % of personality variance can be attributed to genetics (heritability)? • We are not sure BUT temperaments do seem to be stable from infants to old age.
Somatotype Theory • An early biological theory by William Sheldon. • Endomorphs (Fat) tend to be friendly and outgoing. • Mesomorphs (muscular) tend to be more aggressive. • Ectomorphs (thin) tend to be more shy and secretive. • Sheldon’s research was coorelative only and has not been replicated.
Beware of the Barnum Effect ! • People have the tendency to see themselves in vague, stock descriptions of personality. • Horoscopes, astrologists, psychics, and short “personality tests” all take advantage of this tendency. What your favorite color says about you!!! What kind o f shape are yo u?
Exploring the Self • Markus & “Possible Selves” Research • Spotlight Effect – overestimating others’ noticing and evaluating one’s appearance, performance, etc.
Exploring the Self • Self-Esteem – one’s feelings of high or low self worth – High self esteem correlates with better sleep, more resistance to peer pressure, less drug use, persistence, happiness, etc.
Exploring the Self • Self-serving Bias – a readiness to perceive oneself favorably – People accept responsibility more readily for good vs. evil, success vs. failure – People view themselves as better than average

Exploring the Self Culture & Self • Finish this sentence… – “I am. . ” • Individualism – emphasis on one’s own goals and defining one’s identity in terms of self rather than the group – KEY WORD – “ME” • Collectivism – emphasis on one’s group and defining one’s identify accordingly – KEY WORD – “WE”
