THEORIES OF PERSONALITY

Trait Theory Factor Analysis- compiling and narrowing down personality traits Gordon Allport & Raymond Cattell- 16 basic traits FIVE FACTOR MODEL- Robert McCrae & Paul Costa

Psychodynamic Theories Focus on the unconscious Sees childhood as important time in shaping personality Freud, Jung, & Adler

Carl Jung- Analytic Psychology 2 Layers of the unconscious: Personal & Collective Archetypes

Alfred Adler- Individual Psychology Striving for superiority Inferiority Complex Birth Order Theory

Criticism of Psychodynamic theory Poor Testability Inadequate Evidence Sexism

Behaviorist Theories- BF Skinner Determinism- behavior fully determined by environmental stimuli Consistent patterns of behavior

Albert Bandura Social cognitive learning theory- same as behaviorism but adds conscious thoughts Self-Efficacy

Walter Mischel Situational factors govern behavior People behave differently depending on the situation People are not consistent

Evaluations/Criticisms of Behaviorist theories Lots of empirical evidence Animal behavior not the same as human behavior Only looking at observable actions gives a fragmented view of personality

Humanist Theories Felt other theories were too dehumanizing Individuals have free will and can rise above and control their biological urges People are largely conscious and rational begins A person’s subjective view of the world is more important than objective reality

Carl Rogers- Person- Centered Therapy The Self/ Self- Concept Most people distort their experiences to promote a favorable self- concept

Carl Rogers (Cont) Congruence and Incongruence Everyone has some incongruence but too much can impact your well-being Parents contribute to our congruence by providing unconditional love

Carl Rogers (cont) Anxiety is caused by experiences that threaten ones self concept People with high incongruence experience more anxiety To ward off anxiety people act defensively and ignore, deny or twist reality

Abraham Maslow

Evaluations of Humanism Difficult to test empirically Extremely optimistic

Biological Theories Personality influenced by biological make-up Introverts- have higher levels of physiological arousal thus social discomfort turns inward and they become introverted

Twin Studies Identical twins more similar than fraternal on all the 5 big traits (even if twins were reared apart) Shared family environment seems to have little impact on personality Conclusions?

Evolutionary Theory Natural selection favored certain traits over others David Buss argued the Big 5 traits are important dimensions to personality in all cultures b/c those traits have adaptive implications

Evolutionary Theory (cont) More likely to survive if: Extraversion- bond with others Agreeableness- cooperate and collaborate Openness- innovative and problem solver Conscientiousness- reliable Low Neuroticism- handle stress
