V. Sociocultural Approach Focus on role of ethnicity, gender, and culture in the formation of our personality. Americans when asked to complete this statement, “I am”, they are more likely to respond in terms of their own personality traits or occupations. Ex. I am outgoing, I am a teacher. Other countries, say Africa, Asia, South America tend to be more collective and would define themselves in terms of the groups to which they belong. They value the group rather than the individual. Example: They focus on their families, religion, or nation. Ex. I am a father. I am a Buddhist. I am Japanese. America is a Individualist country - We value the individual and personal rights. I am pretty. I am smart. Gender and cultural. . . -V example. Gender - From birth babies are treated differently based on their gender. Interaction of an adult with a baby and children is different depending on the gender of the child. The toys the children are given have traditionally been gender specific. Members of ethnic groups who have been subjected to discrimination and poverty may have poorer self-concepts and lower self-esteem than people who have not experienced discrimination and poverty. The opposite is true with members of society who have traditionally held the power. Acculturation - V - that is people who are fully assimilated to their new country and speak the language have high self esteem. Those people who cant speak the new language have lower self esteem. It’s not saying that this approach is the only approach that determines our personality, but that culture (in its forms, namely, ethnicity, gender and economic status) does affect who we are and forms our personality. Ethnicity, gender, & culture influence personality 1. Individualism vs. collectivism. (Example) U.S. focus on the individual while other countries on collectivism.

V. Sociocultural Approach Gender & cultural differences affect attitudes such as with sharing, caring, & drive. Acculturation -The process of adapting to a new or different culture. Biculturalism may raise self esteem. Gender and cultural. . . -V example. Gender - From birth babies are treated differently based on their gender. Interaction of an adult with a baby and children is different depending on the gender of the child. The toys the children are given have traditionally been gender specific. Members of ethnic groups who have been subjected to discrimination and poverty may have poorer self-concepts and lower self-esteem than people who have not experienced discrimination and poverty. The opposite is true with members of society who have traditionally held the power. Acculturation - V - that is people who are fully assimilated to their new country and speak the language have high self esteem. Those people who cant speak the new language have lower self esteem. It’s not saying that this approach is the only approach that determines our personality, but that culture (in its forms, namely, ethnicity, gender and economic status) does affect who we are and forms our personality.

V. Trait Approach Trait • aspect of personality that is reasonably stable.(shy, optimist, outgoing. . .) • personality traits are fixed from an early age & account for consistent behavior in different situations V Traits are assumed to account for consistent behavior in different situations Consistent - a “shy” person my consistently try to escape social situations. Many theorists have been involved in identifying and cataloging human traits.

4 basic humors • Yellow bile = choleric - quick tempered Ancient Greek physician - personality traits result from combinations of humors(fluids) in the body 4 basic humors • Yellow bile = choleric - quick tempered • Blood = sanguine- warm, cheerful • Phlegm = phlegmatic - cool and sluggish • Black bile = melancholic - thoughtful To restore proper health, these must be equalized. Certain diseases and disorders were believed to reflect a lack of balance in these humors. Methods such as bloodletting and vomiting were recommended to restore the balance of fluids and one’s own health.

• Traits are the building blocks of personality - a person’s behavior is a combination of specific traits. ^In the 1930s, psychologist Gordon Allport searched through a dictionary to find every term that could describe a person. He cataloged some 18,000 human traits from a search through lists of descriptive words. He found that most were similar in meaning like hostile, nasty, and mean. So if you were to think of a person you know, and quickly jot down the personality traits that describe him or her, you would probably be able to capture your friends personality using only about seven trait labels, the rest would be redundant. - some traits were physical - short blonde - some were behavioral - shy and emotional - some were moral - honesty

1. Introversion - extroversion - Introverts - imaginative, look inward for their own ideas rather than to others. - Extroverts - active, self- expressive, gain energy from social interaction. 2. Emotional Stability - Instability EYE-sink Introversion and Extroversion were first proposed by Carl Jung, who we will learn about later. (These two concepts are the first letter on your personality test. You were either an I or an E - an Introvert or an Extrovert. Eysenk Studied both normal and disordered personalities. From his studies he concluded that personality can be described in terms of three basic factors or dimensions. Emotionality-Stability - Stable people are usually reliable, composed & rational - Unstable, agitated and unpredictable. At one extreme, people who exhibit such characteristics as moodiness, restlessness, worry, anxiety & other negative emotions. On the opposite end, people are calm, even- tempered, relaxed and emotionally stable. (called neuroticism) Psychoticism - high on this scale, people show attributes as cruelty, hostility, coldness, oddness, and rejection of social norms. Low on this scale do not show any of these things.

Identified 16 basic source traits for human personality Raymond Catell studied groups of people identifying certain obvious traits such as integrity, friendliness, and tidiness. He called these obvious traits SURFACE TRAITS. He then noticed that clusters or groups of surface traits seemed to occur together. (If a person showed one trait in a cluster, he or she usually showed the others in the cluster as well. SO he said that a single, underlying trait gives rise to all the traits in each cluster. He called these underlying traits SOURCE TRAITS He finally settled on 16 source traits that would enable psychologists to predict people’s behavior in various situations. Surface traits - obvious traits, (tidiness, friendliness) Source traits - underlying traits that cause surface traits.

E. The Big Five Five Basic Personality Dimensions Introversion - Extroversion Emotional stability - instability Conscientiousness - carelessness Agreeableness - disagreeableness Openness to experience - closed mindedness ^ Psychologist continue to disagree about which personality types are the most basic. However, nearly all psychologists would agree that the BiG FIVE personality dimensions are important in defining a person’s psychological makeup. These are the Big 5 - Trait theorists try to describe personality, but it doesn’t explain where these traits came from or how we get them. Today they focus on describing traits, and have brought up the value of matching us to educational programs and jobs on the basis of these personality traits. Example by identifying students’ abilities and traits, school counselors can help students make important schooling and jobs decisions ***Psychologists also believe that these BIG 5 are established at an early age and remains stable through life.

Doesn’t describe the origin of people’s personality Review: TRAIT THEORY Main features: - Focus on cataloging traits - Examine where traits come from - Which traits are predominant Doesn’t describe the origin of people’s personality Focus on Identifying, measuring and classifying similarities and differences in personality characteristics of traits Criticism - Pigeonholing people according to oversimplified characteristics AND It
